Hotwheels

Its rare that I feel inclined to post personal shots - but here is my husband's (so technically my?) new - old car. Cool huh?

Blaze of Glory

My dream weekend would be - a cool car - (my husbands 64 falcon wagon will do). My dogs, some friends, some grass (and sunshine) hehe, shopping, surfing, driving, movies, adventures and mostly mischief. Nothing better.

For alex...

Jilly's making tampons

This photo fails to do justice to the magnificence of an opaque black tampon fashioned from resin. My unbelievably talented friend Jill has taken to making casts of everything you could possibly imagine, eg. tampons, keys, the good ol' ciggi lighter, ciggi butts, caramello koalas.... the list just goes on and on!
I was lucky enough to aquire one of her first amazing creations, the "cat key" and (of course) a tampon for a girlfriend who gave me some rad rad jeans a while back.
Jill isnt too far off from getting her resin online. I'll keep ya posted;)

Denim Heaven

I have never been that into knits for summer, however checking out Vogue Brazil's photoshoots and other random images the swimming around on the net at the moment, I have found myself lusting after knitted dresses, swimwear and vests. It gives that whole boho feel but is a little harder to find and less likely (hopefully) to turn up in the chain stores.
The bleached out denim is also super appealing and thanks to such an awesome friend, I dont have to say that I am lusting after a pair of the said jeans. Bleached to the nines and zipped to the knee, I have a new love in my life!
I'll post outfit shots soon :)

My Next Project....

Click to enlarge.

Im a little hesitant posting this because alot of the time - okay, most of the time - I am all talk and no action. But... this dress is to be my next project! I am totally in love with these shots off dropstitch a really cool Perth streetstyle blog. I used to live in Perth so I love looking at this site!
I love the colours and the lace vs block fabrications. The design I have illustrated up is a little on the boring side but I think with a dress like this it is definately better to be simple!

Pretty as a Peacock

The fashion world is being invaded with Peacock feathers in all of their glory at the moment. It got me thinking about this clutch my mum had when I was younger. Its handmade and leather with glued down peacock feathers. I begged her for it, unfortunately however, she is determined to keep it. I am on a mission to make one - I will keep you posted - I dont think it will be too hard? Maybe?
