this weekend is the fun (read: expensive) task of setting up a home office to make working from home that little bit more comfortable. no more laptop in bed! ok, maybe sometimes…
i like the look of lucy king’s studio and garden space, as seen on the design files earlier in the week. though i’m not sure the housemates would be impressed if i plastered the walls with magazine tear sheets, postcards and other bits of ‘inspiration’.

this renovated one-bedroom art deco apartment is for sale in new farm. i’d seriously consider marrying the next high-income earner to walk into this room if i could own it. though, while i’m fantasising, it would be this man and we’d live blissfully ever after in our tiny living quarters.
caught yo la tengo play at the hi-fi bar last night and they were rad! possibly the uncoolest looking cool band on the planet.
they were supported by songs, who were really impressive actually. would definitely see them again.
i got myself a beautiful new book of cake recipes from an nyc bakery specialising in gluten-free and vegan baking. based in the lower east side, babycakes has been voted one of new york’s best cupcakes and has some pretty famous vegan and food-intolerant fans: zooey deschanel, natalie portman, pamela anderson, jason schwartzman…
once i get over the initial hurdle of sourcing some pretty far-out ingredients (what in the what is xanthan gum!?!), i’m pretty excited about trying out the corn bread, blueberry crumb cake and, of course, their famous frosting (which according to the book they sell unaccompanied inside tiny paper cups because customers love it so much – ew).
and i wonder if i’ll get better results if i do my hair real cute and bake to rock’n'roll tunes?
• japanese food. literally can’t get enough, especially after reading it will stop raining*.
• the new edition of french elle featuring alexa chung.
• french/moroccan interiors in the last issue of lonny magazine.
• the karen walker fall 2010 ready-to-wear collection
• new music to keep the energy up throughout the week: charlotte gainsbourg, spoon, hot chip and midlake.
• jamie oliver’s ted prize wish.
happy valentine’s day? probably an oxymoron for most! nonetheless, these photos from ghostlings’ flickr stream are pretty.
