Its been a while. Things are busy busy organising production etc.
Lots of exciting things coming up...

Harpers Bazaar shot my colourful cape, but I will hold my excitement until I see it in print as I've come to learn these things can change in an instant. And if you've seen The September Issue you'll get what I mean.

My tom fords arrived (finally) I love them I'm never taking them off. I also have a new edition to my face much to my mothers disgust...sorry mum

thoughts?

no cattle jokes please

umm what else. My hair is getting more oranger and now I'm getting called Gillard everywhere I go.

fail.

^I keep forgetting to post my finished carebear leg^

I was pretty awe struck when I was walking the other day. The sky was blue and pink

which reflected on the water. My phone didn't really do it justice but it was definitely the highlight of my day.

And now for some eye candy....

^ rainbow pancakes^

I've always said if I won lotto I wouldn't even buy a new car but seeing this purple pastel love bug I'm thinking differently.

And I would drive it to a diner and have milkshakes where the waitresses get around on roller skates. And they would probably bust out in some ridiculous musical theatre number.

^legally blonde much?^

sprinkles!!!

I should be living on this street

^ ohhh what I could do with a space like this^

Is it just me or is any one else fascinated with other people's studios or creative spaces??

I can't get enough.

When mine doesn't look like a bunch of show bags have exploded I will post some snaps.

2010-06-24T01:58:00.000-07:00

Blahh day so here's some pretty things to look at...

Does anyone actually read this???

I've had the most amazing week so many wonderful things are unfolding and I'm really happy.

I'm very lucky that I have crossed paths with some very special people that have so kindly helped me out. They know who they are. They are destined for huge things and are the loveliest kind natured people you will ever meet. Ok I'm gushing... But I feel really blessed.

I finally got my campaign images printed into a book. Here's a looky at the cover.

I'm really excited for what's install for the next few weeks!!

Ghetto nails haha amazing!

Someone come get lost in a maze with me.

I want to live in a warehouse and get paint everywhere ^

These babies are in the mail mm hmm

My half finished care bear leg. Getting finished on Saturday yay

Almost....

2010-05-18T22:22:00.000-07:00

Below is a picture that susie bubble took at Romace was Borns studio in Surry Hills.

Notice my painting...

I have been trying to get my hair orange. My friend bleached my hair

and we got it pretty close but not quite right. Then I stupidly left a

colour on too long and now its more reddy orange.

I'm too scared to bleach it again cos my hair has taken a beating.

I'll let it fade and try to get it this colour.

( yes I am well aware it will look like a wig haha)

When I'm bored of orange I want some turquoise ends like this hot bitch.
But with orange instead of that murky pink colour.
mmm mermaid hair....

My friend is dying her hair this shade of pink I cannot wait
to see it I'm so excited!

Yay for coloured hair.

I got my leg tattooed the other day with the care bears

sliding down the rainbow.

I need to get it finished.

And keep it hidden from my mum...

Alice in Wonderland vans!! I want!!!

Yummm

I'm obsessed with interiors. I think I have more architecture and interior

books than fashion ones.

I think its time I left the nest...

I also really really need a studio. It's probably not the

best idea working from home.

In other news I've been pretty flat out. I've leant my collection to be shot for a festival campaign and I'm shooting again tomorrow and then getting interviewd for a New York based magazine. Its going to be a long day.

2010-05-05T00:58:00.000-07:00

This came out on Sunday and now my phone won't stop ringing aahhhhh

2010-04-28T01:52:00.000-07:00

This is where I want to be

2010-04-25T07:07:00.000-07:00

So around about this time last year my friend Jess and I were thinking about starting a label together and we were both working at amps at the time. So we made a dress for Lisa Mitchell who was playing a show there. We tried to contact her through the promoter and her manager but we didn't hear anything back so like two nervous school girls we got there early and made it our mission to hunt her down and somehow convince her to wear the dress.

Jess was being a pussy and made me do all the talking, she was really sweet and invited us to dinner with her and her band.

She's back in May and it looks like I'm dressing her again.

A few weeks later we thought we'd try our luck with Patience from the grates. We tried the whole emailing thing which got no response so we thought we'd do stake out again cos it worked so perfectly with Lisa. But when the time came she had a massive entourage and well I err... chickened out...

and then when she played she wore some really fucking ugly cowboy get up.

meeeee

FUCK FASHION!!!

I need to stop buying books. But I do love a good treehouse. I've been fascinated with treehouses ever since I saw the movie Hook when i was a kid. When I grow up and have my own house I'm building a treehouse!

My dream tree house would have lots of hanging lanterns and ideally it would always be night time.

I wish amazing people would stop dying...

Malcolm Mclaren

Who is basically responsible for the wonderful Vivienne Westwood.

McQueen

And MJ..

I have this strong urge to just jump on a plane. I feel like I'm tied down here now. If I could jump on a plane tonight I would go on a self guided Frank Gehry tour. I have always loved Frank Gehry and I want to go and visit all his work.

You know you're doing ok when you're a guest star on The Simpsons.

Walt Disney Concert Hall downtown LA

Dancing house, Prague

The Windows from the Dancing House

The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, Spain

The Experience Music Project in Seattle

I've had to write bio's and answer a million questions about myself and my label for press releases and upcoming editorial. I'm so bored of myself.

It feels like thats all people want to talk about when they see me.

FUCK FASHION!

2010-04-11T23:18:00.000-07:00

Probably my favourite Miu Miu collection ever! I will kill for these shoes. Pity I rarely wear heels.

So some exciting things are in the works for my label but I can't say anything just yet. I finally saw Alice in Wonderland. It wasn't as colourful as I would have liked, more eerie. But nether the less I would love to know what goes on in Tim Burton's head.

This is all I feel like sharing...
