true love

2008-07-25T08:41:00.000-07:00

i just read this amazing little book called 'true love-a practice for awakening the heart' and i really recommend it.. written by Thich Nhat Hanh,a Vietnamese zen Buddhist monk who is also an internationally known author,poet and peace activist and was nominated by martin Luther king jr. for the Nobel peace prize...this book was given to my boyfriend by one of my bestest friends in the world...little did she know it was a gift for two ;) xx its a quick read but invaluable for your relationships with others and very importantly with yourself xxxx

hey homie

so...I'm not quite at the point where i am setting up my own home yet..but from being on the move for so long..i dream of the day when i have my own place to call home..and set up and decorate with lots of cool bits and pieces!!!i would love to be able to just collect eclectic bits of furniture and beautiful fabrics and vintage lampshades for when the day finally comes!!!!ahhhhhh...one day ?!!!

i was checking out urban outfitters.com the American version...as an Aussie..stores like this are pretty cool for us...it has everythinnnggg!!!I'm seriously amazed at the variety of cool stuff they have at reasonable prices...i first discovered urban outfitters a few years ago on a trip to l.a and found myself in t-shirt and hat heaven..especially cuz it was all so cheap and no one back home will have the same stuff as you...and anyway...i always check back in cuz i love their stuff...and i just realised how cool and cute and sometimes hilariously kitch their home wears range is....i haven't posted some of the funniest items like an ice cream cone lampshade and pimp and ho mugs...but here are a few of the things that i like for now and thought to myself..if i had my own place...this would be on my list ;)

woah!cameron...

Cameron Russell is my fave model right now.... ..shes one of those annoying people with beauty and brains,her priority is her studies and spending time on her blog http://www.funnyandinteresting.com/
she was amazing with long luscious locks but even hotter and edgier with her cool shorter chop...here are some of my favourite shots ;)x

hedi slimane ...wow

2008-06-09T14:50:00.000-07:00

so a few months ago i discovered the amazing and beautiful hedi slimane diary,his photos are incredible and goes to show this man has talent in many areas...so i did a bit of research and heres what i discovered....

in 1999,he became the creative designer for men’s clothing at Christian Dior, and created the line of Dior Homme in 2000.

after huge success and recognition in the fashion world,he decided to quit the house of dior in 2007,he didnt want to lose his creative freedom,or sell his name.. he has been working on many cool and interesting and very personal projects since.

Slimane has many connections to the British indie-rock scene, notably his close friendships with Amy Winehouse and Pete Doherty.

his interest for indie rock started a whole movement in fashion. He is responsible for launching the skinny jeans, and new proportions in tailoring. His silhouette and attitude have been adopted widely on a street level.

2008-06-09T08:47:00.000-07:00

i came across some images for the new womens line and it actually looks really cute!im a bit of a tomboy and have always like aussie surf/skate fashion anyway...my fave brand is probably insight..but this new range for quicksilver looks pretty cool too...i couldnt upload all my fave ones..but here is a sneek peek..

wish me luck for the job!;)

infact..nice everything!

2008-06-08T07:48:00.000-07:00

ive finally decided after many a debate...keira is cool..sometimes here pouting and forced poshness can be annoying...but at the end of the day..shes absolutely gorgeous..and i LOVE her style....i dont think theres one look im not into or wouldnt wear..i love how shes kinda grungy and downplayed....shes definately my style icon right now..

nice shades

ayah

2008-06-06T09:06:00.000-07:00

lately ive been getting into blogs of all kinds and discovering new artists,designers and photographers,and interesting and creative people in all industries..today i checked out a soul music blog called honeysoul.com
and discovered this girl..ayah...and im pretty impressed with what im hearing.Especially the track 'reminisce'..i can see she has really been inspired by jill scott and erykah badu who are my all time favourite female artists..
Shes only 22..definately one i will be watching out for and i will also be listening to her album on repeat which can be downloaded free on honeysoul.com and on her myspace page www.myspace.com/ayahmusic
Apparently 'ayah' is the arabic word for sign or miracle..hmmm...quite possibly true by the sounds of things?

i love jessica miller

2008-06-06T06:43:00.000-07:00

even though shes hasnt been around as much lately..she is still one of my favourites...HOT

2008-06-05T15:59:00.000-07:00

so...this is my first post on my first blog...!i was recently inspired by a few of my girlfriends who have been blogging for a while now...and thought id like to get in on the action..;)
ive just moved to the u.k from australia and life is full of big changes...i guess this blog will document everyday life,ideas and inspiration..
i have a similar feeling of writing in a diary except anyone can read it..im sure i will get used to this eventually?!
today was the first day of sunshine since ive been here...and it was soo beautiful..i hung out in the garden taking pictures of some really cute knickers ive brought here from argentina to upload on facebook to sell to friends and aquaintances...at some point soon i will put them up on ebay aswell..ill add some pics here too..
my boyfriends parents have three beautiful cats..i was getting a bit snap happy today..after taking over 100 photos of colourful underwear..moving, living creatures were a bit more fun to capture ...x
