nine days | february...

last year i brought you a series of instagram posts titled four | grams. this year i'll be continuing along the same vein but posting a selection of my favourite + most popular pictures from the past month; hello nine days...

1. after a night out and attending a seminar on instagram slightly hungover, i couldn't wait to get home to wrap myself up in my favourite pony rider quilt and sleep on the lounge. [22]

2. this image changed everything for me on instagram. well-known sydney interiors stylist megan morton commented "i seriously loved that slouchy leather bag on sheets shot. and chambray! ok ok, yesterday I found my old chambray shirt and wore it and went snap! chambray, leather and sheeting - all some of my fave things." and than started following me. it felt like some kind of validation. [20]
