I love Elsa Mora, and her work. I don’t know if I’ve adequately expressed how influential she is on me, but let me say… she produces the most lovely work, and radiates with the most lovely niceness of any person on earth. Not only did she create the papercut in this pendant, but she also sculpted the frame and had it cast in brass. I love the objects she makes, they echo the notion of giving and loving that I am concerned with in my own work.

I caught the work of stylist Anita Kaushal on decor8 and was furiously right click and saving this image within minutes! My Mum and Dad are moving into a new house soon and I know Mum loves these foil wallpapers, so I thought I’d dedicate this to her.

Another gorgeous image via decor8, I can’t help it! These objects are by Ferry Staverman, who possesses a sense of shape that I really envy. Go check out his site and revel in the playful lines.

While I understand the gloriousness of the cephalopod, I don’t tend to go crazy for octapus stuff but when I saw this Adam Wallacavage chandelier on Jo’s tumblr I thought it was pretty freaking awesome. I think it’s a combination of the excellent form of the tentacles, the functionality and fanciness of a chandelier as well as the gorgeous colour scheme that makes this so brilliant.

I found this on Tumblr and there’s no word on who the group are. They are infinitely fancy though! It was originally posted by bitter and thirsty, but I found it by way of I love fat.

I just love the all black with the explosion of colour at the collar. Via Copenhagen Street Style.

Dior is never not fancy. The Cruella hair is amazing, I have a thing for silver streaks! Thanks Heidi for submitting this.

I think umbrellas are great, in rain and shine. This one is freaking adorable and craps all over my animal print one! Lulu Guinness have heaps of other fancy brollies too (love the cameo one too). Thank you ukulady!

I think this gorgeous building is in the running to be my place of residence. If only human eyes could see infrared! This photo was taken by Gian Guido Zurli and I found it via Kim.

Here’s to next week being 20 times better!

⇒ The Lady Gaga hair bow that launched a million knock offs. I feel I should come out as a huge Lady Gaga fan at this juncture. Don’t hate, you just don’t get it!

⇒ Juicy Couture’s ridiculously huge hair bow. I’m not a fan of the label, but this was one of the first massive bows I saw!

⇒ Loulou Loves You do a more modestly sized bow, I love this one in the small gingham!

⇒ “But Natalie,” I hear you proclaim, “I need my bows to be REALLY REALLY RIDICULOUSLY HUGE.” Nasir Mazhar has catered to your fance-embiggening desires.

⇒ Of course I had to consult lookbook.nu just to see if the hip things were wearing hair bows. They are!

⇒ For more real life inspiration, we should always look to the incredible Stephanie Zwicky!

⇒ Aaaand the fabulous Sonya!

Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to go sew myself up a ridiculous bow to wear tonight so I can represent the huge bow wearing fatshionistas!
