Northwestern Passage

Like a lot of people, I love Twin Peaks, mainly because it is ahhhmmaaaazing. Naturally, I was pleased as punch when I found these never seen before images at Lifelounge. Shot by publicist Paula K Shimatsu, they were intended for press releases, but somehow never saw the light of day. Now they're going into a self published book called 'Northwestern Passage' which was what Twin Peaks was originally going to be named. Log lady is still my favourite. 

"One day my log will have something to say about this!"

Hehehe. 

Birthday loot

Lucky me! Even though my birthday was last month I have still been receiving gifts. When my boyfriend arrived in Japan he brought with him some amazing antipodes products, a gift from his friend who designs all the antipodes packaging. As well as that, my dear friend James sent along the charm bracelet pictured above - tres kiwiana chic!

I was so surprised and happy but the gift giving continued. My boyfriend presented me with some new leather boots, a gold charm bracelet and a copy of Russh magazine. I have been savouring each page, thoroughly enjoying an English magazine. All my christmas' at once!!! 

Ku:nel vol 51 part 2

As promised, more images from Ku:nel volume 51. The bottom two are making my mouth salivate!

When James Mollison set about to raise money for a childrens charity he wanted to avoid the usual swollen bellies, pleasing eyes and toothy grins. Instead he chose to photograph children from all over the world, and how different each circumstance can be. You can see more about the book here.

ごめん！(sorry) about the lack of posts recently. Things have been crazy busy with my boyfriend arriving and us setting up a new home, a whole lot of summer festivals and trying to fit in time at the beach. I stumbled across these photos that reminded me, calm moments are good too! x

Awesome sauce

I found this wonderful tumblr via youcanmakeiteasy. It makes me fall in love with Japan all over again. There are beautiful things around every corner!
