Melbourne I love you..

Ok so I was going to talk about our recent trip to Melbourne but looking through my images in iPhoto I came across this beauty and I think this totally reflects the home I want to live in.

Large enough to have heaps of friends over for dinner, parties and to stay.  

Life is so busy I know my goals in life totally revolve around how i can expand my life with more time for my loved ones and inspiring events to come into our life.

But I digress, Melbourne is definitely somewhere I hold close to my heart, I was born there.  And I love the distinctive multi culturalism that isn't apparent so broadly anywhere else in Australia.  Every Italian joint we went to we felt like we were in Little Italy.  The locals are amorous and the sites never disappoint.

We saw Monet's exhibition, getting in the mood for France, and the Gallery was stunning and the actual exhibition was amazing.

Did you know Monet was inspired by Japanese Wood prints and the bridge he has in his beloved garden was inspired by Japanese art.  His two loves were his garden and his art.  He adored his wives and questioned his purpose in life when his second wife past.  But he always came back to art.  

It was his working through process.  

Anyways here is our collation of the art of Melbourne.  I love graffiti so walked and meandered down lanes to take these shots.  

This is going to be my new vege garden, watch out pallets of Brisbane, I shall be coming to get you..

Have an awesome day guys..

Fashion is just an extension of your inner awesomeness.

Sometimes we don't realise how courageous we are every day for the decisions we make and the avenues we take.  But it is more for others and automatic for some.  University has been a major decision that sometimes I do question but I am almost at the half way mark and I am glad I have stuck with it as I am changing my destiny.  But it doesn't have to be so epic a decision as we make little changes to our lives we change the outcome to our day.  The YouTube video I have attached is about a man name Mister Rogers who passed away in 2009 from stomach cancer but had dedicated his life to showing people the good in life.

I do hope you take time to watch it as I feel watching him reminds me of the good in the world and the way we can be as we bring out the good in ourselves and others when we follow our dreams.

How this relates to fashion?  When we feel good about ourselves what we put on every day reflects that, not trends.  What I have found from selling fashion for 11 years is that everyone makes my designs their own.  As it is everyone's unique way of thinking that brings about the essence of what their style means to them.  So if you feel good throughout whatever means gets you there, you will always look fashionable, always look beautiful, always do your best.

Fashion is the means of bringing what is inside out.

Love you awesome nerds.  (Pitch Perfect, 2012)  if you haven't seen it, go get it out and have a giggle fest and try and sit still in your seat..

 (I had to write this blog twice and I think the 2nd go round I just made it that little bit better.  Enjoy)
