...And it Was All Yellow

Blazer: Hunt No More @ Market HQ   |   Boots: Betts   |   Shorts: One Teaspoon   |   Rings: Lotus Mendes

Spent yesterday scoping out venues to film my next music video... We're doing a couple of live videos, so you guys will get to see the whole set-up I use on stage then. Anyways, the day included a lot of walking around Sydney-town, hence my studded Warhorse Boots from Betts, and with the sun shining a glorious bright veil over the whole city - I couldn't resist getting my legs out for one last dash before they grey of winter settles in.

One thing I have learned about Sydney weather since moving here 3 years ago is that no matter how bright the sun, how hot the air, or what the weather app on my iPhone says... You must always take a jacket. ALWAYS. Because even if it's 40 degrees at lunch time, chances are it'll be like the winds of Antarctica if you find yourself in the shade of a building. No better way to feel as bright as the sun than with a show stopper in your back pocket like this fluorescent yellow blazer by Hunt No More.

Lucky I have a rad BF... he takes the pictures AND lets me steal his clothes.

Back Into The Swing... of 2013

I've been away for nearly 6 weeks doing the thing I love most - music... But now I'm back on the ground and have so many things to catch up on. For one, this blog needs a little love and attention! Secondly, my wardrobe needs a new injection... (first world problem, I know)

And I have all new goodies to add to my online store (clothing, music AND jewellery).

So, to get that inspiration fire burning again I've been collecting images for a new mood-board, getting me back into the swing of where this creative head is at in 2013... I always like to start with pictures to get a vibe... then everything grows from there. So far, my 2013 has been all about music and performing... And streamlining my home/work life. Luckily for me, my home and "work" life are pretty intertwined - but that can also be hard... Anyways, more on that later.

The first quarter of the year has ended and the artistic side of me has been waiting in the wings... but it's about ready for the spotlight now. The most important thing I learned in 2012 was patience, and I think I'm getting used to it. Haha.

There's no Business Like Show Business

A variation of what I wore each night on stage for the Newton Faulkner national Australian tour.

Bodysuit: Amercian Apparel   |   Boots: BooHoo   |   Leather Cuff: MojoMade   |   Tringle Ring: Lotus Mendes

I grew up on the stage. From four years old I was singing, cartwheeling and tap dancing under the lights. Quick changes, dress rehearsals, costumes of glitter and sequins... Once you join that club - it never really leaves you, that need for a roller-coaster existence. 

The chaos and craziness of what goes on behind the curtains followed by the adrenaline of being centre stage. The connection and magic of entertaining a breathing audience is so ancient and so raw - it's a feeling that never gets old. 

The brilliance of being in the spotlight and the darkness of waiting in the wings is all one and the same.

You can't have one without the other and no matter what happens on or off stage, the show must go on.

From the stage at The Metro, Sydney.
