wishlist; Frankie Mag Daily Journal

It used to be so hard to find the planner that’s equally lovely and smart, but last two years our favorite Aussie magazine Frankie is offering help with organization. Since I am one of the kids that love the feel of paper, I really consider those online organizers as useless. Call me an old school, but I love to have something that I can touch. With the end of the year getting closer, I need my Frankie journal, which is just perfect. With the illustrations of talented Amy Borrell, it will make every day special and the detested budget calculations charming. And isn’t the reality that good organization is everything? I like to think that we people are bit programmed when it comes to enjoyment in our little lives. Since the same is all about the little things and little adventures, order and my own rituals make me happy. Except the diary for the next year, Frankie published calendar and it’s also full of lovely illustrations by various artists.

Hello my "boy friend", consider this as a perfect gift.

orla kiely coat

Dear Miss Autumn,

I wanted to say to you that I am so pleased that you are here. I enjoy sound of your showers and whispers of your leaves that fall. However I wanted to tell you that I think I need a coat. Not that I am desperate and ungrateful because I have lot of coats, but I need a proper one because I am grown up now. On the other hand, few days ago I was watching a TV show and I saw a lots of kids that don’t have autumn clothes. This made me sad. Okay, maybe I am also poor now, but I have lots of clothes. And do I need gray jacket that I wear for running? I don’t run, so I believe I don’t.

Because of this dear Miss autumn I will give all my clothes that I don’t wear anymore to those that need the same, and you can help me to find a job so I can buy this pretty Orla Kiely’s coat.

With love,

misslikey

 

Chic details; pullover, Alice band and compass

Moved on from 80’s suburban housewife that wears pullover on jeans to shop in the supermarket, Givenchy with this purple mohair  pullover embellished with floral wreath had approached to the college kid that reads lot of classics, plays an instrument (piano) and is nature lover. Real star of this season. Bit oversized, pullover makes silhouette casual and is really perfect partner for autumn winter season; combined with skirts and jeans or over the dresses and blouses with interesting details on collar. Little plastic Alice band is underestimated lately as more we prank ourselves with feathers, flowers or bows. Stylist Bay Garnett showed in editorial Autumn Sonata for Vogue UK full beauty of it. And if rural stands for unsophisticated in this story becomes fully sophisticated. Simple as it is. As a quirky detail for embellishment in these windy times, I would choose compass. This one from the photo is part of The Seafarer collection from Australian jewelry label One Luv, which pays tribute to adventurous Treasure Island (Robert Louis Stevenson).
Designer Dina Ochwada has ensured that girls are looking for hidden treasures wearing a real treasure around their necks.

NOTE: Also kind Dina from One Luv, gives the readers of misslikey 15% off the entire collection until 30th November this year.

Beauty of Autumn

Maybe it’s in the smell of fresh made coffee in early morning while you are staring at the city’s gentle awakening. During those early times fog spreads the veil that gently hugs sleepy buildings, and old street lamps are whispering last lullaby before that cars start their own charade. As I open my window, fresh air rushes to get inside and with the scent of the room intertwines in invisible shadow that serenely spins all around. I stand like a statue in the room, with cigarette burning between my fingers and closed eyes. I allow those waves of air to weave the web around me and they make tick-tocks from the clock calm until they finally become without sound. When the little friend from the wall impatiently says it‘s the time, I will hear Mr. Baker from a stereo telling he falls in love terribly hard. After I take a bath, I come back sneakily to meet my closet that said farewell to summer’s wear and while Ruth will miss her darling when autumn leaves start to fall, in my head I create my ode to the beauty of the fall.

Is it just because that the gingham will be replaced with the tweed, reason why autumn is so hopelessly beautiful? Or it’s because the lace will reach full romance in combination with knits. Can you find the autumn in a sound that your Mary Jane’s make while they find their way through the autumn leaves. Is maybe antique market covered in gold, secret way to lost times. Or it’s the cheery wind that makes fun with you and blows your hat to the ground. Or ribbon from your hair trapped in the collar of your coat. Or it’s the beauty in the afternoon sun that tries hard to peep from behind of cloud and give shine to tress and the grass in the countryside. Maybe it’s the evening that time when you can fell that air filled with something I cannot describe, or it’s morning, I don’t know. But it gives me a thought what if it’s there just one life of this kind and maybe you and I might not smell again the beauties of everything that this kind of common surround creates. What else girl can do than to enjoy that gloomy but extremely sweet vibe?
