A few very cool things this last couple of weeks, besides major shopping spree (which happens every week anyway ;P)...
I attended the BIG DAY OUT festival (such an amazingggg day - best big day out ever. Muse were superb along with fantastic sets from Grinspoon and Fear factory).
Australia held the Triple J Hottest 100 for 2009. I've been listening to triple J every day for the past few months and was glad to hear UK band mumford and sons came in at number 1 with their song 'little lion man'.
Discovered the gorgeous artwork of mydeadpony. What I'd do to have some of his artwork printed on a tee or a tote bag. Here are some of my favourites from his gallery:

back to the working world tomorrow, and no doubt lots of hard hours, however the quality of inspiration around me and the people who keep me smiling makes everything worthwhile :)

Hope everyone has enjoyed their weekends <3

monuments and melodies

{this week from my flickr}

my past is perilous

but each scar i bear, sings

monuments to where I have been

and melodies to where I am going

slow songs and fast heartbeats

 

slow songs and fast heartbeats, they’re the only things that really stay with me.
those moments when your heart breaks or you fall deeper into whatever you’re feeling 
or those bouts of extended eye contact. the moments that, if they were in movies, would be 
accompanied by slow songs with acoustic guitars and sorrowful grand pianos. 
however, i prefer them unscripted.
fast heartbeats follow the moments you’re overwhelmed with emotion or you’re taking the 
plunge into something unknown, something new. when you’re scared your heart might pop 
out of your chest or explode, or make some sort of dramatic gesture to let you know it’s 
rushing to keep up with your thoughts.
when those moments overlap with each other, they create memories that last lifetimes. 
these are the memories that stick with me. these are the memories i love.

31 RUE CAMBON + festival fashion

Well here I am after a ridiculously busy week of work, work, work. Needing a little bit of relaxation I thought I'd put together a post of some things that I found inspirational or that are playing a part in my current state.

31 RUE CAMBON - Chanel is launching their own magazine titled 31 Rue Cambon. The glossy will be designed by Karl Lagerfeld and art directed by Olivier Zahm of Purple Fashion Magazine. There is no official release date yet, but the magazine will have a worldwide distribution in all Chanel stores.

And with the BIG DAY OUT festival just around the corner for Adelaide, I've spent the last day trying to hunt down a ticket for this sold out show!!! And now for the fun part - FESTIVAL FASHION...Some big decisions to make but here's some outfits I put together over at polyvore with some of my fav items at the moment.

make a wish...

I love making wishes when I find a dandelion, and I love finding ones that are completely in tact  :-)

Do you make wishes on dandelions / shooting stars ?

And a bit of musical musings for you all out there, Joe Purdy is and will always be the musician of my life. Everything he creates hits a spot in my soul that nothing else can.

Listen to his song 'dead end kids' from the album ' last clock on the wall' below
