rush job

Setup, launched and now running new store 7 days a week so please do accept my apology for dissappearing without warning. It really was a bit of a whirlwind.
It pains me to not be part of blogosphere at a time when I feel so inspired and am really wanting to spend time taking a step back assessing whats going on and where I'm heading. I truly feel as though blogging is like therapy for me!! It's like you can create then look at your identity all with a click of a mouse.............or maybe its just a collection of things that catch my eye with a couple of random thoughts thrown in for good measure? Yeah thought so. But never the less I really miss it.


Need one of these right now. 70 hour weeks really arent my thing.

nothing compares

As far as I can recall this is THE top of my top photographic geniousy editorials. Would love to know who the art director/stylist of this was (ok I could probably just google but instead I'll waste that 10 seconds saying how I'd love to know...we're strange humans sometimes aren't we). I love the creepy, institutional (word?) vibe mixed with the angelic faces, soft colours and sharp focus.

Can't wait for the day when this doesn't run through my head each time Sunday comes round.

work

As of next Thurs no more office life for me. I feel like a whole paperweight (disgustingly bad joke that I'm not sure why I haven't backspaced) has been lifted off my shoulders.

Tbh the thing I most excited about is more time for blogging. Hello world!

In love with these clever/cute little paper artworks. Wouldn't you just love to find a unique artistic niche and be able to make a living from it?

mid range

One extremely rare occasion that I tried planning an outfit pre-event..which didn't work out due to weather restrictions. (Not that much planning is actually involved in picking a pair of jeans and top but whatevs, I tried) At least I now I have something on stand by for when I'm desperate and indecisive.

me to a T

I was told Arabella Rasmsay was "my brand" the other day and since then have been particularly noticing that yes I truly do love and treasure every piece of hers I have in my wardrobe. Sweaters with shorts, no fuss dresses, long sleeve jersey tees that sit just right, easy to wear neautrals with just the right amount of colour, minimal accesories and/or embellishment needed. The natural, laid back aesthetic of the brand is simply perfect to me.

you know you love me

Feeling extremely inarticulate as of late (see posts below) so will let pictures speak for themselves. Undeniably UNBELIEVABLE.

man oh man

Take your pick.

ETA: ilovecoolthings made a very valid point..."part of the reason I am still single". This is true - I believe that somewhere out there are men who know how to dress (and I mean really understand...not just like be able to pick out a cool tee) without being a) gay or b) an artist narcissistic wanker. Of course this would be in combination with a whole lot of other not so shallow attributes but I won't go there, well not tonight anyway.

4 most recent reasons I am broke - bitch

Two lessons I learnt
1. If you have no money in the bank there's usually a good reason for it
2. Before you purchase do some research - I found the shown dress online for $70 cheaper. Thats like a weeks groceries just because this 'boutique' decided they made the dress look classy enough to give it a like 500% mark up

NB: Lesson # 2 doesn't always work when you're an impulse shopper GUILTY

P.S Excuse poor quality of image 3
