raw edge

Good morning from sunny Australia,

Last night I could hardly sleep so I got up and got straight onto photoshop.

Heres what I came up with.

My artworks are the intersection between fashion and art.

I've always been fascinated with Catherine McNeil - she has this raw edge about her that I adore.

healthy and fashionable

I've always thought that Miley Cyrus was incredibly beautiful.

There is also something very approachable and human about Miley. 

Despite always thinking a lot of her, my opinion increased when I saw her going to Pilates.

I started Pilates about 8 months or so ago and have seen amazing results to my curvaceous body in regard to toning and shape. 

It is incredibly admirable to see someone working on themselves. I don't think that it matters if you're a size 8 or a size 16 or any size, It is always beautiful to see someone working on themselves. 

No one is perfect, and its nice to see that people take pride in their appearance and in their wellbeing and health (most importantly).

Hands up if you love being healthy and fashionable?

Gleeks Unite

Now aren't we all just little Gleeks deep down inside.

Beautiful voices, beautiful people.

If you don't love a good old sing-a-long then get off my blog (just kidding).

Right now I even hear my manly, tattooed boyfriend singing along to something - so there you go, everyone loves a sing a long.

Listen up, this rag and bone design is perfection. Perfection ladies and gentlemen.

Lea Michele looks so chic, so incredibly on trend with beautiful leather, her tummy showing, and of course, beautiful ombre hair.

I feel like people don't like her sometimes - it is no wonder (I am stating this with understanding, I am not saying this with malice). And so I elaborate - She is beautiful, talented in both singing and acting and you know what, shes pretty much a triple threat. People are always jealous of beauties like Lea Michele. But you know what, she is absolutely amazing. Kudos to you beautiful Lea, you're a star and you work hard and you deserve every success in life.


Unite beautiful people, unite and go forth in life.

Geometric Aztec

Hello fashion addicts.

I know you will love this one.

Kristen Stewart needs no introduction of course, we all know and love her.

Movie premieres bring one amazing thing - more fashion looks.

There is also the excitement of the film and anticipation of whether you are going to like it or not, but for me, it is the excitement of trawling sites like just jared and thefashionspot for amazing looks.

And so i've found one. Thank me later.

Geometric Aztec is how i'd like to describe this. Look, i'm no vogue-ite that terms things correctly - I admit that. But the geometry about this outfit is clear, and so is the aztec inspiration. Peter Pilotto is a print god.




You know you love it. Even if you don't love her (which is like blasphemy).

the perks of being a wallflower

There is something really beautiful about the storyline behind Perks of being a Wallflower.

Also, I love that a majority of Emma Watson's outfits for press have been floral themed, structurally or print wise.

Emma Watson has always had an ethereal quality to her.

Regardless of her success in Harry Potter, there is just something mystical and intriguing about her that I love and I know millions of others do as well.

I also admire her because she had the guts to say that she wasn't sure she wanted to be an actress, and she took time out, and she came to the conclusion that she did want it. You have to give her credit for being honest. Shes only human and you know what, not everyone knows what they want. To be perfectly honest, I doubt there are many people who do.

Structure is so important to a design. Also, texture plays such an imperative part in an outfit.
You will see all of those beautiful things in this Brood dress.



Print is such a key element to me when assessing fashion, I love a beautiful print. The key to print is keeping the silhouette simple. This J Mendel dress is a beautiful example of an amazing printed dress.



I know you'll agree with me beautiful followers.

whimsical watercolour

Personally i've aways had this whimsical dream about fashion.

Theres always been this feeling i've gotten from seeing a piece of fashion perfection.

Its like a drug to me, I am always sneaking onto websites purely just to see beautiful clothes and combinations.

Sometimes my fascination is editorial, sometimes sartorial, and sometimes just plain celebrity.

Regardless of the setting, when you see an image that works, to me, that is the breathtaking moment.

Its that "my heart skips a beat" moment.

I had this dizzy feeling as soon as I seen Nina Dobrev from Vampire Diaries in this heart breaking, fashion stopping outfit.

Theres something breathtaking about this two piece shorts-suit. Do you see it?

a glorious occasion

Of late i've been feeling rather restless.

A few months ago a beautiful friend announced she was engaged.

I'd shown many friends a few designs i've done (see previous post) and my friend approached me about designing her wedding invitations.

I was incredibly flattered and jumped at the chance, I couldn't think of anything more beautiful than being a part of a union of two beautiful souls.

Over the course of a few weeks I pieced together some designs and here is one of them.

This, I might add, is not the design the bride has chosen - I would never publish this.

However this is my personal favourite (aside from her chosen design).



What do my fashionistas think?

floral fantasy

Hello beautiful fashion lovers,

I've been on a bit of a hiatus for a while, i guess focusing on life.

But what is life without fashion?

I certainly don't want to live that life any longer.

Not like i've been a non-fashion-loving-sloth for a while, but still, I need to get my fashion fix.

To be honest, I have been secretly fulfilling my fashion craving.

As you know - I love fiddling round with photoshop.

It makes me miss my uni days, creating, blissfully having no knowledge of the outside working world with responsibilities and things of a so called greater importance than creativity.

So here you go - this is what I came up with.

Enjoy beautiful fashion lovers
