only just otoño

While there's only a smidge of Autumn left in the Southern Hemisphere... I would have to say outfits like this, are perfect for days like these.

Si?

if and when

I once posted a song about 'where my love had gone', for you. Here on this little blog. Now, if I were to reach you... it would be to let you know that There is a warmth that has never burnt out. The absence saddens me, but I know that now is not my time. Tonight I heard a song that brought you back to me, to my thoughts. I confess however, of late you haven't been far away. And whether the feeling I feel is to be happy for you, to be you and happy with where you are, or dream of that day I will leave the ocean behind to plant my feet with you. It is a little foggy, but right now, I'm sailing and I'm not sure whether or not I'm drifting closer, or floating past the inlet... this resonated with me. And I believe it's for you.

I’ve been out on the ocean
Sailing alone, travelling nowhere
You’ve been running on hard ground
With just you around
Your heart beats the only sound

But I know once in a while we will find
The sound of your heart beats with mine
And when it’s time, I’ll leave the ocean behind

So I’ll look out for a lighthouse
See through the fog, search the horizon
You’ll be like in a movie where everything stops
You can see clearly now

But I know once in a while we will find
The sound of your heart beats with mine
And when it’s time, I’ll leave the ocean behind
I’ll leave the ocean behind

‘Cos I know once in a while we will find
The sound of your heart beats with mine

And someday the crash of the waves will be far away
And I will sail in your arms
‘Cos when it’s time I’ll leave the ocean behind

And so if this does reach you... I wonder, dream, in spite of dream, for whatever comes of this, if anything - to say that I wish you only every happiness.

dear you,

Dear Blog, Dear Readers, Dear Friends, Dear Family, Dear You;

This is a small thank you, but a thank you that can't express the gratitude that I have for you sharing this little piece of the world wide web with me over the past three years. My 'untitled creative journal' - untitled being that it generally contains everything-  a piece of work here and there, a place to air those inspirational finds and ramble a little longer. I do hope you've enjoyed the journey as much as I. I have some mini projects and revamps up my sleeve for this space in the next few months, so be sure to stick around... there may be a celebration, project, inspiron to two to share.

But other than that - Happy THIRD Birthday blog!

For The Quill And Ink, you hold a special place in ones heart.

Glorious Sunday to You.

día uno

Day One of the Mercedes Benz Australian Fashion Week, here in Sydney, saw the lovely Casey Staar and I pound the pavement from the Shangri La, to The Establishment, to the Overseas Passenger Terminal in Circular Quay and back to the Shangri La. An afternoon of various designer collections, previewed with the chance to buy, backed by stunning views saw two very stylish and happy ladies strut their stuff through the city.

Hesitant to take too many pics of unreleased collections (pre runway show), I for now snapped a whole lot of gorgeous scenic Sydney snaps. Beginning with my morning coffee run to the heights of the afore mentioned hotels. Mid afternoon until dusk allowed some beautiful shots, instagrammed to perfection.

Coffee, Tea & Me - Redfern

Inner city view of Centrepoint Tower.

Georgia Osbourne's latest collection, on racks. The Harbour Bridge in the background.

The one & only, Sydney Harbour Bridge.

The Lady herself, The Sydney Opera House.

One of my favourite shots so far.

Model, tourist, designer, model, designer. Oh - just the passing foot traffic ;)

A little layering, at dusk.

And well, Day Two has begun, so the lookbooks and goodies accumulated will have to be shared a little later.

Happy Tuesday!
