scorpio talk.

So I’m not really a horoscope-y / star sign person in life - when I was younger I avoided them like the plague and refused to let my eyes read my future, because I thought it was all so bogus. Or maybe I would be cursed for trying to look so hard into what’s to…

melbournite for a day.

I need to be ok with not doing everything. It’s a hard lesson to learn for someone like me. My obsession with being “productive” is extreme and not always the most helpful. It means I can’t just sit and binge on Orange is the New Black (although I need to so I can finally be…

feels for australia day.

The lightning last night blinded me through my eye lids - I felt like the naughty kid during the magnesium experiment in high school science class, trying to peek at the insanely bright effect. A reminder that the weather is such a powerful and wild thing, completely out of our control. I'm not sure what…

anatomy of :: personal style blogs.

Over the years I’ve developed a theory of some sorts - maybe not as clever or scientifically proven as a theory, but a thought at least - about personal style bloggers. For me, that was never an opportunity on the cards due to a number of factors - lack of wardrobe space, only a drop…

the sustainers :: st.agni.

I've been thinking a lot lately about what I would do if we ever moved rural. And by rural I mean beautiful beach town with sufficient young people to allow friends, at least one quality cafe, and boutiques close enough. Me moving to a retiree town full of wild language would be a mistake. In…

photoshoot :: shibori’d.

So far, I think I’ve been achieving my ‘little less online / iPhone’ time. The real hard part is about to start though - back to work. Sitting at a computer 8 hours a day gets you in the habit of regularly checking emails and always being ‘on’. The bus ride becomes the perfect browsing…

hello 2016.

We are off to a good start for the year, and getting in a sneaky quick post before another week of chill. Down-time has been achieved with days camping in the wilderness; venturing to the beach each day for a bit of a surf attempt and swim, walking along the rockpools, waking early for cliff-side…
