The Happier Moments of May

This morning, I woke up with a jolt at 12PM.  I realised that all three of my alarms just refused to stir me awake at 10.30AM like it was suppose to (I often sleep at 3am-4am so I'm not one of those indulgent over-sleepers). But I'm glad I didn't wake up so early to cut off my dream. It was a wonderful one - he smiled at me, held me, brushed my hair behind my ear and whispered sweet nothings. When I woke up, He haunted my mind.
This month of May I predicted was supposed to be a sad one. And it was, in some ways - disputes with close friends, abit of disappointment from my friends as they let me down, no money, no motivation to clean my room. But I wasn't locking myself up in a room or work bathroom to cry about Him. I don't know how but I seem to have discovered some inner strength I must've reserved just for this month.
I continue my day as normal - work, blog, read emails, exercise, photoshoots, spend my nights with close friends etc and I rarely think about Him. I just think : Ignorance is Bliss. Yet no matter bloody what, you cannot escape your dreams. It must've been my subconscious letting out all the feelings I bottled up during the day. So I battle my mind when I wake up reminded of Him. I then spend the next couple of hours trying to forget it all again - read and watch bad TV.
Another way to forget (during the day) is to go to far away places with one of your best friends. Here I am at Mona Vale and my friend Betty instructs me to mount a fence that wasn't as stable as I thought. I rolled around on that log as it tipped me forwards and backwards. The result: some fun laughs and giggles and a reminder that I was indeed happy during the Month of May.

A Special Birthday Brunch at The Armchair Collective

A Food Diary: A Special Birthday Brunch at The Armchair Collective

What a lucky birthday girl am I! For my 26th Birthday recently, my close friend Betty packed me into the car and we mini-road-tripped up to Mona Vale in Sydney to visit The Armchair Collective. Betty said she had three places in mind to surprise me for my birthday (she is a passionate foodie after all) and she settled on this one, the sweetest of them all.
Not only was the food was delicious (Mushroom bruschetta, Smoked trout on bagel, and thick chips with mayonnaise) they had a quirky shop full of candles, pillows, vintage chairs and tables, books and bags. I could've spent all afternoon in there browsing the shop, basking in the sunlight and giggling with Betty as we discussed our lives the only way friends could. I felt like I could've been in countryside France or in the valleys of Italy having one of those long day lunches. But I was very aware we were in a very special part of Sydney, and I am willing to share it to the world. Thanking Betty so much for making my birthday so enjoyable and for introducing me to The Armchair Collective.

A Campaign: Lonely Kids Club Autumn Winter 2013

A Campaign: Lonely Kids Club Autumn Winter 2013

I love a good quality t-shirt. As I was browsing the Lonely Kids Club online store, many solid, simple prints and drawings caught my eye. I could tell those t-shirts were unique and could be a staple in my wardrobe forever. So I'm happy to present the latest campaign from the Lonely Kids Club.
Based entirely in Sydney, Warwick the designer, owner and inspirer spends the time to make sure each t-shirt and garment is of great quality and fits his philosophy. 

About Lonely Kids Club (taken from the website): "We choose unique and interesting artists to collaborate with for each range, to keep things fresh and unique. Each range begins as a broad concept and through the design process organically transpires into a theme. We also try restricting the amount of colours we use in each range, as we believe in simplicity as well as the theory that restrictions lead to further creativity"

Officially launched in the early months of 2011, Lonely Kids Club will definitely be here to stay, with every clothing item being inspired by a short story about a personal experience. And each product is mailed out with a personal message and a unique drawing, courtesy of Warwick; creating sentimental gifts for every lonely kid out there.
