Darling T I N A


When in Melbourne a couple of years ago I came across an illustration in a magazine and took a photo because I wanted to remember it -have recently stumbled across this photo again and thought hmm I wonder what this illustrators been up to, and busy indeed has she been! check out some of her work!

SSSSSoooo have been in London town for a good 2 and a half months now and still completely loving it! Ok even though am nowhere near the career I want to be in and haven't travelled further than Brighton yet -am still loving it! AND am definitely one of those people who would rather be too cold than too hot, though I do believe I may have to eat my words on this over the next couple of months... it's only the begginning of Autumn and it's already very chilly indeed.It's quite fun though! Bought my first pair of mittens this week and a hot water bottle and a bunch of thermal socks! Come on Winter, BRING IT!
Anywho below are a few pics from my London (and Brighton) travels!


GRRRrrrrr at the Natural History Museum

Brighton Pier & Carousel


Macaroons! mmmmmmmm must have a go at making these!

H is for H A L L O W E E N

Noticed today that it is perfectly acceptable for a group of people in costume to walk down the main street but in singular -not so much...

Beautiful, fantastical illustrations by Bec Winnel. Stunning pencil and pastel works -unbelievable skills I wish I could steal.

Oh Susie!


Came across a great illustrator today -Susie Wright who draws on her Scottish heritage, architecture and nature to create some amazing graphic designs. Am loving her birds! Her work may at first glance look a little crazy and all over the place sketching inside the lines but if you look closely it's all very precise!
Stylist! I missed you this week. I'm sorry.

Gorilla man gorilla man...

Am loving Caitlin Rose who hails from Nashville, Tennessee. She's pretty adamant in her youtube interviews that she's not pop or folk or anything associated and hates the word Indie... she prefers to see herself as an original country singer but... I kinda have to disagree a weeeee bit with her there. Her music is really great but I can't help instantly think she sounds like she belongs a little bit in the indie/folk category... I think it may be some of the lyrics she uses? Listen to Shanghai Cigarettes I'm playing it over and over.
