Misguided ghosts


Ray Ban aviators; Witchery cropped angora jumper; J Brand high waist jeans; Wittner desert boots; Lovisa necklace and spiky bracelets; Nixon timeteller




It's funny how certain things act as memory triggers. Certain smells, objects and places have the ability to bring back rushes of feelings, images and smiles.

For me yesterday, it was re-discovering two things:

The Nixon Timeteller my bestie Laura (a.k.a. Make Up Guru) bought me for my birthday all the way from Selfridges in London at the back of my bedside table and remembering the perfect afternoon spent with her at Jones the Grocer, laughing over hilarious stories over multiple burnt coffees and yummy vegan cookies.

The Wittner ankle boots Frankie bought for me as a surprise present last year - he knew I had stopped to look at them in the window every week - so one night, just because, he came into work with a big smile and a big shoebox! I dropped the work I was doing and did a big jump, a scream and gave him a huge hug. Best ever.

I've got you in my clutches



Alexander McQueen Oriental Samurai Skull silk-satin box clutch - NAP

Herve Leger Over-sized cord clutch


Stella Mccartney Falabella citrus-print cotton clutch - NAP


Diane Von Furstenberg Lytton Thai printed silk-satin clutch - NAP

Some very lust-worthy pieces of arm candy that are 100 per cent calf, pony and lamb friendly.

I'm headed to Europe in 23 days (!!!) - I have the feeling that the Stella McCartney citrus clutch in the centre is going to be the perfect travel companion whilst I roam the streets of Paris, Florence and Barcelona.

the good things





Sportsgirl cheesecloth & lace blouse; Basic bandage skirt; Wittner fringe clutch; Christian Louboutin Paola 100 booties

Took these bad boys out for a spin tonight for the first time and the verdict is in: i'm in love. Pretty much the most comfortable pair of heels I have ever worn. This is saying something, as Louboutin shoes are not really known for their wearability as much as they are just known for their aesthetic.

I just got back from backpacking around New Zealand a couple of weeks ago, hence the absence. NZ is such a breathtaking country and the people in it are just so incredibly beautiful and friendly - I've made more amazing and interesting friends in two weeks there than I have in Melbourne over the last year. If you ever get the chance to go, don't even hesitate for a second. You will be blown away, I promise.

Raggamuffin 2011

Vintage dress; Louis Vuitton Speedy; Country Road sandals; Scala hat

Spent all of Saturday dancing to my favourite reggae beats in the sunshine at Raggamuffin. Saw my favourites Jimmy Cliff, The Wailers, The Black Seeds, Ky-Mani Marley, Maxi Priest and Mary J Blige.

The entire Music Bowl went nuts when Jimmy Cliff played this song. Such an amazing vibe - everybody was so peaced out, just dancing and chilling. So good.

the dog days are over


Cotton On blouse; Sass and Bide denim shorts; Vans lo pro sneakers





A road trip down the Bass coast was the perfect antidote to a very busy schedule and post-christmas exhaustion.

One of my favourite things to do is just to take it easy on the roads, drive with the windows down and the music up, and just stop along the way and take photos of things that catch my eye.

I had been neglecting my photography as of late, but this trip has re-ignited my love for my camera and has inspired me to go on more weekend trips to search out some great shots.
