the cat eye


This appeared to be a very strange tutorial (warning: it involves sticky tape on the face) but it got my previously unsteady hands to do a pretty decent cat eye, and now I am obsessed. And for those interested, I picked up this to do it with, which is incredibly easy to use. Aaand now you will never see my eyes done any other way. Hope that's cool.

Details of my beloved bookshelf, featuring an outdated magazine collection, my favourite shoes and an assortment of childhood books. Presented to you in a misty dreamy wonder.

my baby shot me down


A birthday present for one of my oldest friends. Bought from etsy shop Pettra, which specialises in jewellery made from natural stones adhered inside brass bullet casings. Bad ass and magical, all at once.

I love Melbourne so I made a silly little video about this one time I went there. Enjoy!

shiny new old thing


Hey pretty things! Nothing brightens the midweek like a couple of vintage delights from the always agreeable City Song Vintage arriving in the mail - an 80s faux snakeskin shoulder bag and a sweet little navy clutch. Lurve.

hello hello

OH HEY YOU GUYS. Remember this lil' thing? I had to take a sizeable break while my life was swallowed by my final year of uni - but with that all set and done it's time to bring it back. Huzzahs all around!

SO yesterday afternoon was spent with delightful blogger babe Tara at the Beaufort St Festival where our eyes feasted on rack after rack of overwhelmingly quality vintage. Pretty dresses were bought, burgers were eaten, local culture was consumed and a rad time was had by all.

Go visit Tara to hear her version of the day!

My new big ass grandpa cardigan. Keeping me cosy on a chilly sunday afternoon spent drinking tea, listening to the radio and catching up on work. My sundays have been so marvelous lately. I love a good sunday.

I've finally found it, you guys - the perfect way to spend a sunday. A group of rad friends, a porch and a vintage garage sale. Swaggin'.

Also! These are the first photos to appear here that were taken by my new canon 60d! I'm still getting the hang of it, but I think this could be the beginning of something wonderful.

P.S. This song is freakin' addictive:

go your own way


My current method of treating myself is by buying a new pair of socks. I think it's working out rather nicely.

A few photos from In The Pines, which was a pretty glorious day - great music, great setting, great atmosphere and great people.

rolling in the deep

Thing I am more than ready for: winter. Or at the very least - a day that isn't a minimum of 30 degrees? Please?

Anyway, some cold weather goodness here with the style of Hanne Gaby Odiele and, uh, a bunch of dudes' feet. Nice feet, but.


All photos from the awesome STREETFSN, here and here.
