buffalo girl


Ohhhh-Myyyyyy! i want this bag so badly! I have been searching for a while now for a bag with fringing on it and i could not seem to find any that i like.. until i saw this baby! she's just perfect... the colour, the belt as the strap and the eagle and turquoise stone! It's by a brand called Buffalo Girl who are situated in Byron Bay. They dont have any prices on their website which makes me worried (i bet it's a squillion dollars) I'm actually going to Byron Bay tomorrow for a girls weekend so I might just have to pop in and see how much this is! The pictures below are from Spell and The Gypsy Collective and incapsulate what i hope the weekend ahead will be like: sunshine, kombi vans, feathers in my hair and chillin. We are even staying in a 10 man teepee! i'll be sure to post some photo's early next week.

disconnect


I wanted to share with you a few photos i've taken on this loooong Easter weekend. Not sure about other parts of the world but here in Australia we had a 5 day long weekend with Good Friday, Easter Sunday then Anzac day. I took my new Canon 550D out for a few snaps around the Sunshine Coast to practice. I still have a lot to learn about photography but i'm happy with how these turned out. I had a lovely few days with my parents and catching up with friends. Getting to the beach is always so relaxing I would sunbake all day if i could. Let me know what you think...

per aspera


I had a lovely email from a complete stranger the other day! so lovely to hear from a reader of my blog and know that there are people out there enjoying the posts that I do. I'm sure fellow bloggers will feel the same, especially when your just starting out, and only have a few followers. This mystery emailer put me onto Elle Malan (NY) and her blog Per Aspera where i found these unique artworks. I love her drawing style and use of colour. If you like it too, check out her blog for more 


creative blogger award

thank you so much to SummaBaby for adding me to the list of creatives bloggers. This award asks me to share ten things about myself with you and then pass on to ten other lovely bloggers. I found this a little bit hard but here is my ten :

1. I'm a graphic designer and finished uni in 2004 (omg feeling old)

2. My favourite fruit is passionfruit, could eat tonnes of them.

3. Love my cat fi fi so much and would happily quit my job and open a cattery just so i could play with cats all day.

4. Love the beach, nothing like a fresh swim in the ocean. Hope to own a beach shack one day.

5. I have travelled overseas and worked in London in a photography studio and tv channel. 

6. My parents are practically hippies and my dad has long hair & still surfs the waves where i grew up.

7. My good friend Tif inspired me to get back into creating art about 1yr and a half ago, so thankful she did.

8. My eyes are hazel

9. I would never ever ever ever bungee jump, but i would contemplate jumping out of a plane...? 

10. My all time fave movie is Pretty Woman (i know cliche but i do love it)

now i would like to pass this award on to some smaller blogs i think deserve the award...
