Etsy Love: The Angry Weather
Popped by The Etsy Blog today and spotted this week's featured seller, Iveth Morales, from The Angry Weather. Instantly, I fell in love with her simple, weather-themed sterling silver jewellery pieces. You'll find rainclouds, lightning bolts and meteors, as well as other neat things like this oxidized banner necklace with the words J'taime punched out. Must be shopping time...?

Inspired By: Kristian Schuller
Stumbled across Kristian Schuller on Pinterest today and couldn't resist sharing these sensational shots Love the deep shadows and rich amber tones... it's like some sort of scrumptious sticky dessert for your eyes, don't you think? And of course, I'm also in love with those fairy-esque dresses and the thought of running barefoot on the beach. Sigh.

Heart This: Inked Girls
You may have noticed I've been gradually (or not so gradually!) having a little image overhaul here at Wolf and Willow... so it's probably no surprise to you that I'm getting a tattoo! How exciting! Of course, being a designer, it's going to take me a long, long time to decide on a design, so I've been doing my research. I thought you might like to see these beautiful photos from Inked Magazine. See, tattoos are not just for bikers and sailors!

Fashion Fancies: My Spanish Love Affair
Hello petals! Oh, how I've missed you. I'm finally back home after my 11 weeks in Europe. My last stop was Barcelona, a cultural melting pot, and a city which seemed to unfold endlessly, day after day. This city cast a magical spell over me with it's beautiful, warm people, it's amazing Bocateria filled with edible treasures, it's nightlife that never sleeps, and it's labrynthine alleyways filled with boutiques and restaurants. Sigh. But no visit to Barcelona would be complete without a little shopping trip to one of Spain's most successful labels, Zara (which is coming soon to Aussie shores.. yay!). Here's a peek at May's cool collection.

Fashion Fancies: Hyères Fashion Festival
I wonder if you'll forgive my sporadic posting schedule whilst I'm travelling Europe if I bring you something really special direct from Europe? Let's see, shall we? How about these breathtaking designs from emerging designers Céline Meteil (France), Oda Pausma (Belgium) and Emilie Meldem (Switzerland). Each year, the international fashion set gather in the Southern French town of Hyères to check out tomorrow's design talent. Here are a few highlights spotted by Lilian Inge Kamp, at Vogue Germany.

Heart This: Black Milk Bodysuits
So my birthday is coming up *gulp* and what I'm really craving are some new clothes. Surprising, right? Now, the label at the top of my list is Black Milk, with which I am completely obsessed. I know there is a bit of contention about the use of leggings as pants, and I'm here to stand up proudly and say, yes, I like them. I really do! And, along with these killer bodysuits, Black Milk have the coolest leggings in the world. Check 'em out ladies!

Vintage Icons: Soledad Miranda
Hey darlings, if you're looking for vintage beauty inspiration, look no further than Soledad Miranda. This smoking Spanish actress from the 60s was once described as "the most painfully beautiful woman who ever lived". And yes, we can see that, right? But seriously, besides the rest of her, how hot are those sandals?

Peachy Prints: Brent Hildy
Hiya lovelies! Question: Does anyone know the name of this new indie art movement? If so, let me know. You've seen it about, right? Digital collage, nature themes, kinda cosmic? Reminds me of dusty, cracked Pink Floyd record covers and concert posters from the 70s. Love it. Check out Brent Hildy's page for more such beauties.

Fashion Fancies: All A-Flutter
Darlings! I confess, I am guilty of neglecting you this past week. It looks like I'm heading to Europe in less than 2 weeks... eeep! And I'm all a-flutter. Nevertheless, I am still thinking of fashion and shopping. I know, I have a problem. So here's a little something I discovered in Vogue Spain a while back. Queston: do backpackers wear heels...? I'll be reporting, I promise!

From the Archives: Seventies Hair
Hello, cupcakes! Well, I know I've been neglecting you lately, because I have such a busy, busy week designing Toffee and all... I don't even have time to organise guest posters! but I had an inspired idea! How about this week I feature all my favourite posts from the archives? Brilliant! So here it is, a 'Fashion Fancy' from 2009! I just love this beautiful big seventies hair from Fashion-ation! This pop blog is oozing with cool fashion editorial and images. There were no credits on these photographs... is it Miranda Kerr? Either way, there's a whole lot of gravity-defying style going on here and I just love it!

Etsy Love: Silurian Era
Well, it's no secret that I'm a little obsessed with gemstones and minerals. Just ask my mum, who remembers the rock collection I kept as a little girl, which I meticulously sorted into polished and un-polished, precious and semi-precious – and colour-coded and labelled, of course! Then there was the junior archaeologists' club, but let's save that story for another day, shall we? It is with fond memories that I'm swooning over these beautiful lapidary offerings from Silurian Era. It's a store for collectors and jewellers alike, filled with wonders from the earth such as jasper, agate, quartz and turquoise. Heavenly!
