moving in

There are some times when you look up and realised how much things have changed, in a seemingly short time.

New job, new routine, and now, a brand new place.

Moving has been such a roller coaster - so many things to think about, to organise, to throw, to buy - I've never really heard any stories from people who have enjoyed moving or felt it was an overly positive experience. Not to mention the expenses and often starting from the ground up in terms of what you own and need.

This past week has been a huge one - I have never been so interested and immersed in homely things, like the best brand of kitchen appliances, bagless versus bag, best type of utensils, most efficient washing powder - it goes on!

Without a doubt the best part of starting new is decorating. Interior design thrills me; I love looking at niche pieces with personality that reflects my style, from beautiful hand rendered prints, to quirky knick knacks & fresh flowers. New linen, new storage - so many awesome things to make a house a home.

Here is a sneak peek of my new home...


All of my favourite things together - I love my Bondi print from talented lady Jasmine Dowling - I have been fan girling over Jasmine for about a year and I fall in love with every piece in her collection. She's a super talented lady from Brissy and her talent is endless - not only does she rock her iconic hand rendered type, but she dabbles in stationery, pillows and tote bags.

Also included is the beautiful ghost chair, and heart vase from Lovestar that I have been lusting over for ages. And to top it all off, Marc Jacobs always looks good.


Crystals, succulents, and white everything!

mode



Summer has come and gone in Sydney, and the rain has begun to fall. Dressing for Australian weather can go from wearing a summer dress and sunnies to rugging up in a warm jacket and scarf- very unpredictable.

I find there is nothing worse than going out for the day and not being dressed for the weather- I love that black and white can be easily transferred to a colder season, and wearing a warm leather jacket and comfy flats make any day great. 

This look is called 'mode', a combination of sport, clean whites and staple blacks.

Style Session | "Neutral" AW 2014


Happy Autumn everyone! I'm so ready for a change in weather, bring me the rain, the cold and the warm clothes to keep me all rugged up.

I wish I could experience the colder winters in the Northern Hemisphere, and to see falling or fallen snow would be magical. I love a change in seasons, and I cannot wait to restock my wardrobe with these beautiful neutrals and textures.

The week that was | 23.02.2014 |

Oh my goodness it's been such a huge two weeks! I feel guilty for not updating as much as I would have liked to, but it's early Sunday morning and I have a little time to myself to catch up.

Over the last month or so I have been working super hard to try and find design work in any way I can, and I have been very lucky to score some freelance, part time work at Guide Dogs Australia. Guide Dogs Australia are a fantastic charity, working to bring essential services to those living with a vision impairment, as well as facilitating the training of seeing eye dogs, which I'm sure most of us have seen out and about. Working with Guide Dogs has really opened up my world view, and seeing the amazing things a human being can achieve, no matter what hand they're dealt in life. The work this charity does is amazing, and it's so gratifying to be a part of it.

For the moment it's a few design tidbits here and there, and I'm loving the atmosphere and work I am able to do. Having a reason to get up and go in the morning is something I have really missed since finishing up at uni last year, and getting out and about is always a refreshing thing.

Below are a few snap shots from the last few weeks:

Getting pretty with pastels!

Working hard!

And probably one of the biggest surprises of the last week...


A brand spanking new Macbook Pro!

Not going to lie to you, it's about 1.34am on Sunday morning and I am still staring lovingly at this masterpiece. Mum surprised me and took me into the Apple store before work & asked me what I thought about this laptop & I was like yeah it's a great machine- durr, next thing I know we're walking out with it for me! I am truly spoilt 

That's the weeks that were for tonight/this morning. Stay tuned for a recent haul, featuring a cool/freaky looking phrenology bust, and plenty of stationery!

Stay fab~
