Packing For a National Tour

To make live loops on stage I use a Roland RC-300 Loop Pedal & Sampler 

One of my strongest memories as a little kid is spending school holidays at my Grandmother's house. I'm an only child which meant I had to keep myself occupied, so my imagination has always been a big part of my life. I remember always packing a million activities into a suitcase to take to Gran's house just in case, God forbid, I ever actually got bored.

As I pack for a national tour of Australia with Newton Faulkner - I realise nothing much has changed! Instead of a huge suitcase full of colouring books, Barbies and my tap shoes - I've packed it all with this stuff. The stuff that makes my live show a whole lot more than just a girl with a guitar. Surprisingly, for someone with such a love of fashion, my clothing takes up not even a quarter of my suitcase - if you can believe it!

Hope to see you somewhere on this trip... You can find gig details here.

There's Something in The Water

What kind of magical place is this?

Somedays Lovin bikini

The waters of South West Australia... they have some kind of magic.

Got my eye on you.

"Agh! Got my hair wet - I KNEW that would happen..." - Memphis

I love the friends I have gathered on this thin raft

Never lose sight of your shadow.

I miss the sunsets over the ocean... nothing beats a West Australian coast-line at twilight

Contemplating.

Took a trip to my old stomping ground... Perth. It's the first time since I left my whole life behind three years ago that I have truly understood the magnificence of the place I grew up. How lucky I was to have that west coast air filling my lungs each and every day. I hear people talk about the Perth folk and how there must be something in the water... And I have to admit that before I left, the simplicity of   dipping my toes in the West Australian waters felt like any normal every day thing - but this time, it felt like magic, and after 2 weeks of sunsets over the ocean and the "down south" air of Yallingup - something has changed in me.

For some reason I feel at home. Not in any one place in particular.
But in myself.

Have you read The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho?
Yeah, it's like that.

So it's been a busy few weeks. Busy with all the right things - full of relaxing, beaching, road trippin' and hangin' with some of my favourite people on the planet. I've been to Western Australia and back to Sydney and now I'm in Radelaide, on the road for my national tour with the awesome Newton Faulkner - So I'll try my best to be a good blogger and keep you up to date with on-the-road shenanigans and what the style situation is. Haha.

If you're in Australia, keep your eye on my Facebook Page as I'll be giving tickets away to some of the shows - and we're hitting pretty much every city so you guys should come along to check out some cool live music from Newton, myself and opening band Jolan.

You can get my new EP Borrowed & Blue on iTunes.

Music Meets Art Meets Fashion

New MojoMade tanks are hitting the road...
So I couldn't resist it anymore!! Have to leak a little look at some of what's coming next to MojoMade in the Music/Fashion/Art sense... I've been quietly working away on some designs that are all Australian made and have a quirky little element to them that I think is really cute - and I've got something for the boys too!
But that's all still in the "coming soon" pile...

For now, I'll be taking some new tanks out on tour with me so if you're at any of my gigs with the incredible Newton Faulkner, come see me at the merch stand :)

National Tour with Newton Faulkner details can be found here.

Let Them Watch You Walk Away

Sometimes the only thing you can do is turn your back and walk away.

Be it relationships with lovers friends.

Be it work situations. Or everything you know.

And so, as you walk away it'd be pretty rad if you looked smoking' hot, right?

An incredible back-line of intricate detail seems to be a common thread running through each collection from Blesse'd Are The Meek. I've just been looking through the BATM website at all the possibilities for one lucky winner of the giveaway I'm hosting at the moment.

So if you like the idea of leaving a lasting impression as they watch you walk away, I think you should get entering for you chance to spend $150 on Blesse'd Are The Meek.

The give-away is open to international entries and closes on March 25th.

Good luck!
