| The weekly wrap up | 1.10.2013 |

October is finally upon us. And after a not so relaxing week off, it's all hands on deck at university. The Graduation Show is underway, and it's been a total roller coaster, but the final design outcome is amazing, and everyone worked so hard to make the pitch awesome. 

Here's the weekly wrap up of the week that was:

I was in Manly for a couple of days for photo shoots, and this is a behind the scenes shot from Little Manly.

You don't need filters when you have this natural beauty right in front of you. I call it 'Beach Palette.'

Mulling over assignments, getting distracted by my succulents.

I met this little guy at a pet store in Castle Hill when I went out to lunch with my girl Clarissa. His name is Fred.

I was this close to taking him home.

I changed my hair! Nothing really too exciting, got some blonde in my layers and a cut. I love it.

Last night over the weekend.

Stay tuned ~

| Yellow magazine work in progress! |

For those who may remember, I posted the other week a call for all creatives to send me work to be featured in 'yellow' magazine, which is my final major project for my design degree. I've made immense progress since the first prototype I made, & I want to share with everyone (a bit pompous, I know, but I love it!)

First off, I just wanted to thank Emily-May for her immense support over the last 5 weeks in helping me with my magazine- her patience & willingness to teach me a thing or two about styling & taking more than just a pretty picture has helped bring this magazine to life. & secondly, I wanted to thank my Clarissa, for her constant support, & for being my unseen eyes on my work. I wouldn't have worked nearly as hard if it hadn't been for these two, & I'm beyond grateful for their support.

Stay tuned x

My my my what a blur of a week its been! Due to my schedule the past week I only have a few photos to share tonight, however I am planning on doing a photo shoot this week with my darling Emily-May for my major project, so more to come!

Here's the weekly wrap up~

It was my dear Emily-May's birthday over the past weekend & she had some vouchers to spend in at LUSH- needless to say that if Heaven has a smell, it smells like a LUSH store.

Snapped this from Emily-May's car on the way back to class from a birthday lunch with my uni family. I forgot how pretty campus can be some days.

These lovely blossoms have been making an appearance since the weather started to be a bit nicer, & my goodness don't they look pretty!

Snapped this before the light completely left- this is at the end of my street, & then I ran inside & got warm again, haha.

(Sorry about the unartistic picture.) A lovely early gift from my darling, and no, even though it's on that finger, it's not that kind of ring. I'm wearing it on my middle finger on my left hand, I plan on getting it resized in the future. I am beyond in love with it, & got such a giddy surprise.

In lieu of past blog topics, I've decided to do more purchases in my posts- even though they won't be so jewellery and accessory centric. The majority of my purchases are for my shoots for my magazine, which basically gives me an excuse to buy pretty things.

I got this awesome diary for Emily-May for her birthday, from kikki.k. It's super cute, has water coloured illustrations, a plastic dust cover, and when Emily-May saw it in the store I knew straight away that it was fate for her to have it. I'm pretty hopeless with trying to keep a diary- I've gotten one of the past 3 years & there are just periods of time where nothing is written haha!

I have a stationary addiction, sorry I'm not sorry. Again, these are from kikki.k & are very cute, A5 prettiness. Good size for carrying around in your bag. You can find them here.

It's late, and I have grown weary from a busy weekend. Hope you're all happy, safe and well.

Stay tuned x

W O W what a crazy week it's been! Needless to say, university has been kicking my butt up and down the street, but it's so awesome to be back in my usual routine.

Thanks to the awesomeness that is instagram, here's the rest of this week in pictures!

I was walking home from my bus stop after one particularly long & stressful day, and as the sun was going down and the clouds rolled in I saw this really bright last burst of light, and I just stood there for a minute & just breathed in how the day was ending. 

This has been my week- uni work and lots of hot drinks!

And then come Saturday morning my poor iPhone 4 completely died- couldn't revive it- and in my midst of stress and panic, my dear Mark swooped in and saved the day and bought me a 5! I am so lucky.

And this is my current phone cover! I was looking through in the Apple store and there are SO many nice ones to choose from, so I settled on some fabulous flamingos by Juicy Couture!

And that's this week in the bag! I hope to be able to blog more in the coming weeks with uni settling down.

Stay fabulous and stay tuned! ~

| Jewellery shoot |

So I had the awesome experience of having my good buddy Clarissa come over to my humble abode and take some pictures for me of some of my recent jewellery purchases. Having her come over & do a shoot was amazing- seeing someone behind a camera & seeing them create something beautiful was incredibly inspiring. Even though half the time I was the one being photographed, I could feel her intense concentration & how in the moment she was, both arranging the scene and taking the photos. It's such a weird and privileged thing to witness someone becoming one with an object, and seeing them work together & move in a way that it's beyond mesmerising. Clarissa is a truly amazing person, & these photos speak of just some of her talent with photography. She's an aspiring and very inspiring photographer, & I cannot wait to see her journey & to the infinite lengths she will achieve.

Biggest & most humble thank you to Clarissa for her talent & time & for giving me these beautiful shots. 

Stay tuned. x

Interior inspirations~

In an attempt to distract myself from work, I've trawled through & found some homely inspirations. All of these photos have been reblogged from my tumblr & all sources are on there. I would love to have any of these photos be of my house- each are so different in their own way.
