Last week I visited Gilly at the lovely sowsew.com studio to browse and play dress ups.
sowsew.com is a great consignment website filled with great pieces from Australian and international designers, I highly reccomend heading over there if you are looking for a cute-looking bargain!
Gilly's apartment was so beautiful with high ceilings, dark wooden floors and huge white windows! I took a couple of pictures of her house and the studio so you can see how beautiful they are! I got to try on a few of the lovely pieces- coming up in the next few posts!

au revoir x

NYC!

N Y C !
Here is my photo diary of NYC! This again, is pre-amazing camera so the picture quality isn't too great but hopefully you can see how much fun it was. I especially loved Grand Central Station (we forgot the camera that day...trust), Central Park, Bryant Park (all the parks, really) and The Museum Of Natural History (and planetarium)
The picture below is my brother...he looks so much like a prehistoric turtle it's a little creepy. I was super elusive in all the photos as well, but I'm in two of them here...spot the me!

au revoir!

USA holiday p a r t o n e

San f r a n s i s c o !

♥

Hello all!
I have now come home from my American adventure, boy was it amazing.
Here are my favourite snaps from San Fransisco, which was incredible. SF is so much like Sydney it's crazy, its so crisp and clean and grey (in a good way!)
I really love San Fran...I mean just look at these pictures, what a beautiful place!

Sadly, the vintage fashion this time around wasn't so good. When I visited Haight Ashbury back in 2008 I pretty much lost my shit and went crazy in the vintage stores there. This time however, the quality of vintage was seriously lacking (in my opinion you really can't call 90's and 00's clothes vintage!) or the legit stuff was far too overpriced.

Vintage sadness aside, SF was probably my favourite leg of the trip. New York was incredible and exciting, but SF was just so chilled. I had a lot of quiet moments to just go 'wow. This place'.

In other news...I got a new camera! FINALLY! This camera is beautiful and shiny and I named it Ezriel. This is good news for you lovely readers too, because hopefully this will mean a better quality blog (better quality pictures at least!)

These pictures were taken with the old camera, I love the second image. Such a 'No, Dad, I don't feel like having my picture taken right now. Oh okay, just do it' face.

Glad to be back + Au revoir!

U S A trip 2011!

Hello all, I have some exciting news.... I'm going to America in three weeks!♥

We're going on a little family holiday to San Francisco and New York and I thought I'd do a few posts to boost up my momentum. I've been to San Francisco before, back in 2008, and I can safely say it is my favourite city in the world. It is magically sad in its fog ridden haze but it is also colourful and crisp and bright. Last time we stayed at Fishermans wharf and this time we will be staying in my favourite suburb in all the lands, H a i g h t A s h b u r y !

I've been saving my pennies for months upon months and plan to spend most of them in the vintage stores in Haight Ashbury, which I think are the best in the world. Unfortunatley I lost all my pictures from my last visit, so here are a few beautiful images of my beloved city!

For further momentum, I have been engaging in all American things, such as blogs, music and books. If you want to get in the San Francisco spirit (or just want a good read) I recommend Jack Keroac's "On The Road" (amazing novel...one of my favourites!); for some tuneage, I recommend "If you're going to San Francisco" by The Byrds (I listened to it last time I was there...with flowers in my hair!) and for a bit of blogging fun, check out San Francisco based blog Blushing Ambition here. I love, love, love her style (and will be visiting a few of the resturants she photographs so well!)




Next time, New York!
Au revoir.

Winter Holiday

Tim, Oli and Marta

♥

Here are some photos from my winter holiday as promised, and as you can see, the Australian countryside really is beautiful. I had a wonderful time sharing a cabin with nine of my good friends laughing, playing games, eating lots and exploring the countryside...we even visited some Alpacas! You can click on the images if you want to see them larger, all photos by Marta and I.

Oli, me and Liv

nineteen!

I'm nineteen today!
This photo is from three years ago, but I think it pretty much sums up how i'm feeling right now.
I've spent the day with family and my best friends and recieved some lovely presents (i'll show you later) and now I'm about to go get ready to hit the town for some celebratory times!
au revoir

I start U n i v e r s i t y today!

I am very excited today as I have my first lecture! Anyone who doesn't know (or cares) I am going to Sydney University to study Media and communications (...in other words journalism).
I worked all through high school to reach the goal of getting into this course so I am super, super excited to finally start my degree.
My first lecture is at 4pm, pretty random time but I'm pumped nevertheless.

au revoir!

Last Christmas I got a Diana mini so I spent all of last summer snapping away. I then spent the rest of the year looking for the cheapest deal on where to get my film developed...
I finally did get it developed last week and I like how they turned out!
They make me so nostalgic- I remember where and when I took every single photo this time last year.

A u Revoir!
