Hooray, it's Australia Day! Like pretty much the rest of the country, nerd boyfriend and I are having some friends over for a barbie (BBQ). We'll have Triple J's hottest 100 on the radio, just like pretty much the rest of the country and will probably get pretty pissed (drunk) just like pretty much the rest of the country. Happy Australia Day!These beautiful pics are from Vanessa Jackman's This is Australia post.
What is the essence of summer? For me it's sunny days, picnics in the park, walking to Camberwell market (local vintage market), homegrown tomatoes and zucchinis, hanging around the house in boxer shorts and a little singlet and just being relaxed...I think this pic by Parker Fitzgerald captures it quite well.What's your essence of summer?

As always, J.Crew have some nice nautical stripes on offer. What's not to like, right?The real highlight though is this amazing Macintosh coat! I'm normally not a huge fan of red but this coat would look incredible on anyone. I'm semi-considering taking out a loan to buy it.
Nick and Kimber from Little Sapling Toys have been very kind to me and you and are offering Stylisti readers 10% off their lovely range of organic wooden infant and toddlers toys. For every toy sold they plant a tree. I think that's a pretty cool thing to do.This offer is valid until Feb 6th 2012, only at Little Sapling Toys etsy shop. The code is: STYLISTI10.

I didn't know that Bensimon did clothing until just now. They do other things that I didn't know about, like bags, luggage and even books. That's good to know.See the rest of the pics from the lookbook on The Cool Hour.
Moments in life in Helsinki is a new range from Marimekko, designed by Per-Olof Nyström. The range celebrates Helsinki as the home of Merimekko and the world design capital for 2012.If you've been reading this blog for a little while you'll know that Finland and the beautiful Finnish people have a huge place in my heart and I can't wait to get back there.Meanwhile I'll just have to get myself a little piece of Marimekko goodness to keep me going.Rakastan Suomea! (I hope I got that right...)

It's sooo hot in Melbourne today and tomorrow is going to be even worse. If only I could be in this lovely cabin right now, looking at the snow.Pic via jsscnnr.
I don't know about you but 2011 has gone pretty fast for me. It wasn't a stellar year in many ways and for some people affected by natural disasters it is probably better left behind. I have a good feeling about 2012 though and I'm really looking forward to a fresh start.I made one serious resolution which I can hopefully share with you soon and also a few others like eat healthier, exercise at least 4 times a week, blog blog blog etc. How about you? Do you have anything in mind? I know i could use some support so will be happy to provide some if you feel like sharing.I'm just about to head off to dinner with nerd boyfriend's family (it's also our second anniversary today!) so must dash. I wish all lots of wonderful things for the new year and thank you for reading my little blog and sending me such nice emails. Lots of love, Roni xoxo

It's not often considered but why not match your ring to your shoes?For instance match these gorgeous Isabel Marant cuba leopard print boots (from net-a-porter) with this adorable Karen Walker mini cat ring (from Pitbull Mansion).Or maybe these cute Marais t-bar stud flats (from Les Nouvelles) with this pretty Sophia ring by Boe (from Need Supply).
