fotografía friday

fotografía friday this week is a home edition, as I am in New South Wales visiting my parents, and the family pets.

This little rascal was my shadow this morning of my 26th birthday. My sister and I hand raised, the aptly named Typhoon from 3 to around 9 weeks, as he was found on a construction site in inner city Brisbane. My Mum came to visit, fell in-love and then adopted him. It's quite ironic that he sat still enough for me to take this 'portrait perfect' shot. All other moments he was stealthily stalking me or tearing around, from upstairs to down, like a literal typhoon.

He's got me on my toes (or is wrapped around my ankles), that's for sure. Just look at the fierce concentration.

persistence

... is the key, and perhaps the only thing that will pay off in the end. I found the below poster inspiring and reaffirming to say the least.

My lovely cousin sent this to me, and I hope it sparks rejuvenation and creativity in you too.

Keep pushin' on.

estilo sunday

Issued on your Monday, but nevertheless, the week's estilo Sunday greets you with the sweetest of fairytale inspired necklines.
For the innocent, the quirky and the alternative - here you have the Peter Pan collar. I can't get enough :: shopping all things Peter Pan collared as we speak. I can see my Autumn wardrobe having a little more of the whimsical touch, loaded with quirk.

 

Second star to the right, and straight on til morning?

fotografía friday

This week's late edition of fotografía friday was taken a few weeks ago (and instagrammed) on my ferry ride home from Spanish. Here you see the Southbank precinct, Performing Arts complex and the Brisbane Eye. I haven't been in to black & white photography for some time, but I like the way the light and dark contrast are truly accentuated in this shot with the Inkwell filter, and a mystery and vibrance is projected amongst the varying textures.

Just thought I'd share a little of my city with you.

put it out there

And believe it.

estilo sunday

I first saw these on the subway in New York City, now - I covet them. There's just something about them - comfy, rustic, fitting that alternative fashionista trend.

I know it's summer here in Australia... but I really, really want a pair. From Princess Di, to Kate Moss and the average Jane, they seem to be striking a rather fashion forward yet British-traditionalist chord.
Whatever your colour or cause - festivals, city block-hopping, mountain trekking, puddle-jumping or trend-setting - there's sure to be a style for you. From collaborations with Jimmy Choo, to short, heeled and snow styles; you can team these with Hunter's signature line of wellie socks to keep your toes even warmer.

These green Original Talls are just my caper.

They could take me anywhere, and I dare say I need a pair of wish wellingtons. You can find them and all their counterparts here.

it was all

So I'm feeling a little sentimental, and a little whimsical whilst pursuing my creative endeavours and making logos become functional business realities, here in my studio. So, I thought I'd combine the two with my evident journal of creative ramble and share this print I fancied. Perhaps it'll pull your heart strings too.

Sweet sigh.
