My 2013 so far... In blog posts and real life stuff...
You know me - I'm all about walkin' the talk - ya know? No point in talk talk talk - you gotta actually put your money where your mouth is. So for that reason, it's always good to review what you've done... It's a way to make you feel good because I usually find that you've done a whole lot more than you give yourself credit for. So instead of a monthly round-up, I'm gonna do a quarterly one. So here goes...

I went home to Perth for a couple of weddings and some much needed R&R before a month-long national tour. This is one of the dresses I knocked up with a borrowed sewing machine at my Mum's place.

The Dr. Prescribed High-Waisted Jeans...

Jeans: Dr Denim @ General Pants   |   Fur Vest: eBay   |   Rings: Lotus Mendes & Low Luv
Leather accessories are MojoMade... coming soon...

One of the best decisions I made when moving interstate was to sell my car back in Perth... I hire Thrifty cars whenever I need one here in Sydney and the rest of the time, I walk. This inevitably means I need comfortable shoes (that look good) and appropriate walking attire for this windy city - which isn't always appropriate - to have to dress appropriately. You know? I mean f*ck appropriate, right? What the hell is fashion for, if it's not for rock n roll self expression? And actually, what the hell is this life for if it's not for self expression, riiiiigh? Anyways, I digress...

What I was going to say is that whilst today I may not have the most appropriate shoes on for walking (I just stroll in these Betts bad-boys), I am modelling my best I-just-threw-this-on-because-all-the-washing-is-on-the-line-and-this-is-the-first-thing-I-could-find outfit. Ultimately, the answer to any one of those "I don't have anything to wear" moments - similar to a bad hair day - which I am also showing in it's full glory here.

3 Key Ingredients include:
Dr Denim Arlene High Skinny Jeans from General Pants
(the best high-waisters in town, I personally guarantee they will flatter anyone's ass like no tomorrow. They can do no wrong, and neither will you.)

Any one of your boyfriend's t-shirts, preferably with some wankerish-hipster print on it, eg. a roaring bear.

A fur vest or denim vest. Any kind of vest to make you look like you didn't try. And to hide that you're rolling the sleeves up over your shoulders because he'll inevitably get pissed off when you've stretched out the arm holes to his new shirt and complain that he wishes he could wear your stuff so you would know how it felt. Which you will then laugh about, saying he is welcome to wear your stuff anytime he wants. And then you will win. Hehe

Overnight Oats & The Wild Unknown


This morning, I woke up to some overnight oats (mojo ingredients below) and organic hot chocolate... Took a walk around the harbour with my pup Memphis, soaking up the sun. I came home and spent the morning with my journal, some words and some art doodled over the pages.

Whisper stardust into the air.
Shake lust into the wild unknown.



Oats
Almond Milk
Loving Earth Organic Raw Cacao Powder
Banana
Apple
Organic Jam / Fruit Spread
Sunflower Seeds
Chia Seeds
Pine-nuts
Coconut
Cinnamon

Just smash all this together - to taste - and refrigerate overnight.
Eat cold in the morning. Or warm it up. Whatevs.
Amaze-balls.
