I am so sorry about that heading. No I’m not, I couldn’t think of another title! What isn’t awful and groan inducing are these magnificent photos I found by way of Lauren this morning. Bea Sweet is a UK make up artist who is fantastically talented. Sweet also works as a [...]

Vintage Garage Exhibition

On 19 July, 2010 · Leave a Comment · In Art

A few weeks ago my work was in an exhibition as part of the launch of Vintage Garage, a Melbourne store selling rare and unique and nostalgic things. It’s a bit strange having work appear in interstate shows but it’s also very exciting! I’m also really happy that the shows I’ve been doing [...]

Rejecting the notion of the flattering outfit

On 17 July, 2010 · 85 Comments · In Body Image

I have wanted to talk about the notion of the flattering outfit for a while now, because my Skinny Jeans post seemed to bring up a lot of discussion on the topic. For a lot of people, rejecting the haters and wearing what you want is a great message up to a [...]

Friday Fance: A jumbled assortment

On 16 July, 2010 · 6 Comments · In Fancy

Tassels. I’m totally thinking about tassels lately. Flett Bertram’s tassel dresses (seen on Style Bubble) remind me of my Nana’s house and how she’d have these tassels hanging from the old keys stuck in the doors of her display cabinets. I actually have one of those display cabinets now, and [...]

I did a bit of sprucing up on my blog this evening. I’d been meaning to for a while but time had gotten away from me! As always, I got way too into it and started playing in Illustrator with lettering I’d copied from sketches.

My soundtrack all [...]

It’s no secret that I am totally in love with Melbourne so I was very excited to fly down for the second heat of the Chambord Shine Awards! I’d packed my suitcase full of Queensland sunshine and my husband’s daggy old hoody in anticipation for a cold overnight stay but [...]

Detail oriented

On 5 July, 2010 · 2 Comments · In Photography

I took a bunch of photos at Mt Coot-tha Botanical Gardens the other week and most of the photos I took were of details. You might have noticed, but I am a fan of finely detailed things. I thought I’d post some of these just in case you’re inspired by details in nature too.

A new sketchbook for me

On 3 July, 2010 · 9 Comments · In Art


The other week I took some time to draw for myself, an unusual occurrence in the last six months – something I’ve desperately missed. I don’t know if any of these drawings are finished just yet, but I’ll be sure to put them up in my [...]
