a change of game plan..

after deciding it was time to *rearrange my wardrobe- *by rearrange i mean pull the vintage dresses to the front and the heavy jackets to the back, certainly not throw anything out.. I have had to rethink my game plan. after another day of being inappropriately dressed, i decided that instead of looking ahead towards summer, i would live more in the moment and re-embrace the cold.

lucky for me the lovely etsy store royal windsor knits made this a very easy decision. after purchasing my new turquoise bow knitted scarf, i am ready for winter again, let's just hope the weather now decides not to change plans too!

sorry, i don't speak idiot..

that moment where you spend hours re-clicking on all of your old blog posts while mentally saying to yourself 'oh i love this one, oh i love this one, and this one'. then you realise, of course you love all of them, it's your blog!

idiot..

the great escape..

i always considered myself a woman who practiced what i preached, though sadly over the past few years i allowed my working life to become..well how can i say this...f**king stale!

i am usually one of the first to tell people to follow their dreams and surround themselves by things that make them happy, it's one of the great things my wise mother drilled into me over the years, that i naively thought had stuck. needless to say, it well and truly struck a chord when i realised that i was so far from possessing the very quality i myself tried to instil in all those around me.

since may this year when my dream wedding became a reality, i realized my passion and talent lies in styling. it's always been more of a hobby than anything until now. i have always questioned my ability even though deep down knowing i had an eye for it.

i am proud to announce that i am well and truly in the process of starting a business in event/wedding styling. (cue applause) 

though it is yet to be launched (stay tuned peeps, it's not far away) i decided that it was necessary to submerge myself in a more creative role during the day and not just save this as a guilty pleasure for after hours. *the plan was to make up for lost time.

so i finally did it, today is my last day in my old role- somewhere i have outgrown. though i appreciate everything i have learned and the friendships i have made, it's my time to escape. escape to somewhere i can let my creative juices flow in a constant stream and challenge myself yet again

i encourage you all to do the same.

my followers ongoing support astounds me! seeing over 30,000 hits on my blog brings me more joy than singing the entire song 'never ever' by all saints when i'm drunk with my girlfriends (at the top of my lungs of course)

it was fitting i share these gorgeous cards with you i found here on etsy to mark the special occasion

todays task: go and randomly tell someone how f@!%ing amazing they are, i'm all for sharing the love today

the secret..

i've always been somewhat of a skeptic when i hear about love at first sight...i am now admitting to being insanely naive.

i cannot stop thinking about these amazing jeffery campbells, i have been waiting patiently for them to come back into stock but so far have not had the long awaited email hit my inbox. (no matter how many times i refresh...refresh...refresh)

'the secret' told me that when you think positive thoughts, good things come your way. positivity is now oozing out of my pores in order to get these puppies on my feet.

on-line store LOVE..

you guys know how much i love spreading the love when i stumble across something amazing. well it's time i share neon indian shop with you all and not keep it all to myself. i have been following their blog for some time and now they have just launched an incredible on line store selling handbags, clutches, keyrings, cushions, candles and more. 

most pieces sourced are one off so a great way to stand out from the crowd. i am already using my new handmade pom pom clutch and absolutely loving the detail. make sure you jump on-line before they sell out.

ticking all boxes..

the team at 'the two bandits' have absolutely killed it with their latest jewellery look book. the location choice and styling are absolutely fab! the model isn't too bad either..

innovative fashion..

Holloway Eyewear are an inspiring bunch of crew from Brisbane who came up with the idea of making fashion glasses out of recycled skateboards. 

“I wanted to inspire people to be aware of what they consume and how it’s created. We’re still making an essential human product, so the message is not to stop creating but to preserve the environment and respect nature – to create in a sustainable manner.”

Well they have well and truly inspired me. Click above for more info.
