first up is new sneakers. i already have the nike+ipod running thing, so now i want the sneakers to go with it. i currently have the sensor attached to the laces of my asics sneakers, and it works fine, but i feel like i’m cheating a bit. i want to get the nike sneakers with the pouch in the sole for the sensor to fit in, so i plan on purchasing these:

next up is some new black flats for work. ideally, i want these, but i suspect i’ll end up getting some less fancy.

these are on my frivolous list, but i’ve been wanting them for soooo long, and if i don’t buy them with free money i guess i never will.

i also need some boring things like a 1TB external hard drive, but i’ll spare you the pictures.

happy ruddbucks, everyone!

i first noticed yellow + grey together a few months ago, when i saw kikki k had a whole range of the two colours together.

now that i think about it, i can probably trace my yellow love back to about september last year, when i was looking at furniture to purchase when i moved. i found this hemnes linen cupboard from ikea, and was instantly smitten.

i still haven’t been quite able to justify the $429 price tag, so for now, my apartment is without this cupboard. but one day, one day, i will own this. ok, so there’s no grey, but there’s plenty of yellow.

what do i love more than yellow? elephants! from etsy seller ellabellamay.

and finally, this. i’ll just take this whole room please.

from housetohome

i love that wallpaper, and the chair, and the rug, and the high ceiling and the big windows, and the… just all of it.

i introduce to you a new, and hopefully regular, section: wednesday want. basically, i post pretty things! yay! on wednesdays, if i remember.

it’s getting colder. summer is winding down, the mornings are getting chilly, i find myself drinking more tea than normal. so my very first wednesday want will be all about how much winter sucks, and the few little things we can do to make those horrid months just a bit more enjoyable.

moustache tea cup and saucer:

tea itself is already quite enjoyable, but can you imagine how much more fun it would be with a pretend moustache? want want want. from etsy seller breadandbadger.

market scarf in lemongrass:

i’m currently in love with yellow, and this scarf would look gorgeous with the fabulous winter coat i plan on buying this season (yet to be determined). from etsy seller beautifulbridget.

hip to be square pj pants:

is it wrong that peter alexander is my favourite australian designer? he’s fantastic. it’s all about comfort, luxury, and being completely affordable. love it. to be honest, i could have picked any pair in the store, but i really love the various pink and purple shades in these. from peter alexander.

squirrel maryjane flats:

i would be very surprised if i ever wore these, but i think they’re simply adorable and would love to own them. does that make sense? i guess they’re not really my type, and not something i would normally wear, but i can’t stop wanting them. from etsy seller stopsandstarts.

rib finish trench coat:

i’m after a bright coat for this winter. i’ve got my eye on a few in blue and purple, but would really love a gorgeous mint green coat, if anyone can find one. can you tell i watch too much gossip girl? but this grey jacket, i adore. and how nice would it look with the yellow scarf above. ahhh, WANT. from witchery.
