cykler i københavn

March 6, 2014 Sally

That’s bikes of Copenhagen to you and me. Although I can’t be sure; I used google translate. There is something quite lovely about the Danish language, it sounds really friendly and I feel like I understand it, even though I clearly don’t. I blame Sarah Lund and The Killing. (I was fairly convinced I was fluent by the end of series one. I wasn’t.) Anywaaay. I went to Copenhagen on the weekend! It was lush! Definitely one of my all time favourite European cities. There are so many things about Copenhagen that made me think I should just pack up and move there. The beautiful design shops, the architecture, the cafés, the beards, the smørrebrød and all the bikes. Yes please!*

*Not sure I could actually stand the bitterly cold winter for more than three days though. I was wearing tights under my jeans, three jumpers and two scarves and I was skipping around like a crazy to keep warm. Also, English breakfast tea doesn’t seem to exist in Denmark, which was a bit of a shock to the system. Whaaat?!

I’ll post some non-bike photos soon too and share a few of my favourite places!

life & co | around the world

the filling station, london | sally mussellwhite

A few weeks ago I was contacted by the super lovely Nia, of Life & Co who asked me if I'd like to put together a blog post about London for her new Around the World series. I was so honoured, and it sounded right up my alley, so I've pulled together some photos of my favourite parts of London. It's been good to get out and about with my camera when the weather has allowed it, although some of the snaps are from last Summer because let's face it, blue skies are significantly prettier than grey torrential rain!

If you've not come across Nia's blog before you must check it out, it's full of completely beautiful wonderfulness, and she organises amazing and really fun around the world parcel swaps (which I joined in with at Christmas.) Thanks for having me Nia, can't wait to follow the rest of the series! You can check out my post on Life & Co here.

February 25, 2014 Sally

I’ve long admired the work of Emily Blincoe through her gorgeous instagram stream. Her creativity, her amazing imagination and brilliant eye shine through in her photographs and I just love everything about them. I somehow only just discovered her vsco grid though, which is of course completely gorgeous as well as being varied and really fun!. I think her photographs are so super inspiring, I could probably look at them them for hours, so just wanted to share a few of my faves here…

I love the use of colour, styling and creativity. This grid is definitely one of my favourites at the moment!

Let me know if you have a VSCO grid so I can follow along!

portobello road

February 16, 2014 Sally

Last weekend I had both my sisters staying, and in the few hours of sunshine we got on the Sunday, between the storms, we headed to Portobello Road in Notting Hill. I hadn't been for ages so it was lovely to have a wander around. We mooched through the market stalls, treated ourselves to cupcakes for later, bought daffodils and blood oranges, and ate yummy falafel on our way down the road. We really did luck out with the weather because the skies opened up just as we were getting back on the tube. It was a pretty gorgeous and colourful few hours though!

*One of my instagrams from this day was chosen for the first #sfgirlguide round up - yeah!

the blue mountains

February 9, 2014 Sally

Whilst in Sydney we did a day trip up to the Blue Mountains, I thought they deserved a blog post for themselves. Ever since Claire moved over to Australia I have been pretty amazed by how gorgeous these mountains look, her instagrams and blog posts have had me swooning. So I was so glad we managed to get up there, and on a super gorgeous day too. Those mountains are bloody spectacular, and they're actually blue! It is quite breathtakingly beautiful, I couldn't get enough. The light and the colours were amazing, it smelt pretty great too and I of course took a ridiculous amount of photos. Here are some of my faves...

Aaaand that's the end of the Australia photos... Maybe I'll get back to blogging about London sometime soon!

polpo | a venetian cook book (of sorts)

January 29, 2014 Sally

polpo cook book | sally mussellwhite blog

A bit of an unusual post for me, but I couldn't resist, I mean have you seeeen this cookbook?! My mum gave it to me for Christmas, and I love love it. Polpo is one of my favourite London restaurants ever ever, and the cookbook is totally amazing too. I love the way it's bound with red thread, I love the gorgeous gold typography and the thick cream paper. But the design layout and photography used is beautiful too. I can't wait to get stuck in and try to create some of the recipes, especially the spinach, soft egg and parmesan pizzetta. My fave.

sydney

January 20, 2014 Sally

Apparently it's Blue Monday, so thought I could cheer things up by sharing some photos of gorgeous Sydney! This blog post has been a long time coming... there were so many photos to sort through! And yes, I'm going to attempt to sum up Sydney in one massive blog post, ha. Just look at that blue sky and clear water. Let's just say I really bloody loved it, it's suuuuch a great, fun, stylish, creative and beautiful city. No wonder so many people end up moving over there. I was there for 10 days and saw so much, but also felt like I barely scraped the surface! I guess it's a bit like London in that respect, soooo many places to go and things to do!

sculpture by the sea, sydney | sally mussellwhite

Yeah it's a pretty great place, I recommend it times a million. It is far far far away and pretty pricey but I guarantee you'll like it. I want to go back already. Some of my absolute favourite things in Sydney were...

+ Shopping and brunching and drinking in Surrey Hills.
+ Swimming and sunbathing at Wylie's Baths.
+ The coastal walk from Bondi to Coogee. (Sculpture by the Sea was on whilst we were there which was an extra bonus.)
+ Getting ferries across the harbour, past the Opera House and Harbour Bridge.
+ Ricotta hotcakes at Bill's!
+ Shopping in Koskela, ohmigosh I wanted to buy it allllll. I didn't

January 4, 2014 Sally

Happy New Year you lot! My 2014 has been pretty relaxing and cosy so far, plus some catching up with good friends and a bit of sorting out too! Just wanted to stop by quickly to share the gorgeous and colourful work of Heather Day which I discovered over the Christmas break. There is something about her paintings that I just completely love, and has definitely inspired me to do some more painting this year!

Just a little bit of gorgeousness for the new year! I haven't really thought about resolutions as such this year, but being more creative is a 2014 goal for sure. Do you have any goals for 2014? Hope you all had wonderful festive breaks!

christmas post-a-parcel

December 23, 2013 Sally

So I recently signed up for a Christmas edition of post-a-parcel organised by Nia of Life & Co. It's such a nice idea, I thought the results of the previous post-a-parcel looked pretty fun and felt like getting a bit creative myself. Nia paired me up with the lovely Ursula in Austria, who had similar interests to me, and this it what I sent her...

A sweet little notebook which I personalised for Ursula with a big silver U | Some sweet little baubles I painted gold and bronze and covered in glitter, because who doesn't like glitter?! | A Christmassy paper garland I made | A beautiful Hello! Lucky London Christmas card | And a something silly; a sweet little bag of felt snowflakes! All packaged up in a kraft box. I've gone a bit kraft and metallic crazy this Christmas!

Right, with that, I'm signing off for Christmas + New Year. Wishing you all a wonderful time and a really lovely break... thank you for sticking around this year, see you in 2014!

Hi, I'm Sally! I like design, lists, travel, pretty stationery, wine, tweeting, gold leaf, hand drawn typography, stripes and taking lots of photos!
