“it list” monique germon.

todays stunning it list comes from australian writer | artist | designer | creative director monique germon, of story, a uniquely beautiful store. yes, she wears a lot of hats, and all of them quite well. she is, welljust super talented. so im excited to have her share her it list with us today, but man am i in trouble because ive not heard of many of these shops and off i go exploring! for more beauty from monique, visit her website, or drop by storyyou will be rather grateful you did.

at present my career seems to be undergoing a rather swift expansion so as well as STORY, i am delighted to have officially launched a creative direction & consulting business as well as my other work. its a total joy to help others with their creative projects & its made me realise the importance of creatives accessing their very own muse.

my it list is a mixture of inspired moments, must do & haves. like any good woman going anywhere in life, good shoes are paramount. vivienne westwood is a woman unto herself and her label sounds its barbaric yawp like no other. her pirate murray shoe capri speak for themselves self-contained and charming but theres an intellect in the design that i really appreciate.

makr make the best carry wares around. their farm ruck sack is that perfect combo of school girl sensibility & planting potatoes. sort of coal is my kind of company with their chikutan sticks and marketing like the beauty of the vanilla bean meets the smell of a good man wearing your favourite scent. delicious.

ok confession; i am indeed planning a trip to the usa very soon. i did an interview recently and was asked what was my dream holiday. the answer just blurted out: straight to new york city to work on a woody allen feature and see him play clarinet at the carlyle then a road trip across the country starting with a long stint in transcendentalist territory especially walden pond & the nearing’s old place. then, after all the amish aesthetic I can ingest and an artist’s residency at mildred’s lane, its through kansas (via wichita thanks to a favourite classic) and over to monroeville, alabama where harper lee invites me over and we discuss to kill a mockingbird on her porch till the cows come home and/or my heart explodes with joy. Now remember i said dream holiday- we all know how private ms lee is.”arts & science is one of best stores on the planet & everything they stock is plain old beautiful, like these astier de villatte tea & chocolate cups from their basic collection. i would also love a subscription to treadlie, the australian bike magazine this is definitely one of the best mag covers ive seen in a while.

a big must have is take it from dorothy cross stitch piece from the darling of craft design ms tamara maynes plus this gorgeous old indigo dyed linen from beyond france & ribbon from my favourite store and very own real life magic faraway tree peppergreen antiques.

another love on the list is pierre le hors beautiful book firework studies, anything to do with the magic faraway tree i always want & my favorite, favorite favorite piece from tasmanian artist barbie kjar – hoop girl which i would love to have hanging on my wall by the end of this year.

thanks for having me over. all the way from country australia monique germon xx
