Nothing makes procrastinating quite so perfect as a great new song that's sort of gold and writing a pointless blog post about it, enjoy Pompeii by Bastille.

Most of the time I don't live on this planet, I live in a fantasy world inside my head. Sometimes I like to think of day to day life as a bewitched, mysterious Cecil Beaton or Annie Leibovitz photograph that leaves much to the imagination that is reminicent yet vaguely familiar, which is why sometimes I turn up to work ...

I'm reading Mansfield Park for the zillionth time, slowly and savouring every delicious moment of it, when all of a sudden I remembered this passage from P&P, it's always been one of my favourites and any Jane Austen aficionados will be able to appreciate this. Mr Bennet Treated the matter differently. 'So, Lizzy,' said he one day, 'your sister is ...

I have so many shortcomings, usually I'm quite poised but I've come to the realisation that social awkwardness and babbling like a baboon about things that have no relevance when I'm really, really nervous should be added to that already long list. Felt like an extremely uncomfortable out of body experience. Urgh. But the biggest shortfall of all is my ...

Why are us humans so bloody stupid in love? Why are we so selectively blind to what's in front of us and get so mesmerized by the shiny new toy. This is not just about a single situation, this is sadly reflective of so many of us, but the thing is that relationships are not about filling up a temporary ...

I'm sorry this took me over a month to post, but my retreat was amazing. On the very last day I felt almost as if I had been enlightened or awakened. I wasn't but in a different kind of way I was or closer too I like to think, and because I'm a rain child and I love anything to ...

Written on the 26th of November.So happy exams are over, and had my fill of sleeping in, wino and sangria and movies for the last two days. So thought I'd write up one last blog post before getting dressed to head over to the airport. I'm off on a no phones/ no internet meditation retreat at Jhana Grove, Serpentine ...

"...that's why we do this, that's what politics can be, that's why elections matter. It's not small it's big. It's important. Democracy in a nation of three hundred million can be noisy and messy and complicated, we have our own opinions, each of us has deeply held beliefs, and when we go through tough times when we make big ...

"productive use of break time" This is what happens when actual studying gets too much, I resort to online shopping or make thank you cards. These didn't take long, just took a while for the ink from the woodblocks to dry. But aren't they cute. The pre-made envelopes and placards were from Gordon Harris in stone shade and the ...

So here's a fun idea to ponder, all those times you were stuck in awkward group projects at school, they were really training you to survive adult life post-school. I somewhat dreaded group projects at school, but it's ironic because now I'm a big believer in it and very much dependent on it for my creative projects outside of uni, ...

Aphrodite by Brenda Burke First of all I'm not paid to advertise for spa's, I just happen to be a complete spa whore, especially when I'm stressed or on holiday or both in the case of family reunions. And since my first exam is next week and my back was killing me, and my results so far were pretty ...

When life gives you lemons, drink gin - I can imagine my mother saying that. Thwarted by stormy weather and a few other things couldn't have my initial 'Plato's cave/myth of the metals' editorial on location at rugged Muriwai as we initially planned. Even my parents called twice this morning from Sydney asking are you really going to Muriwai, they ...

Irina Lazareanu at Hôtel Salomon de Rothschild, Paris. Photo Gavin Doyle. From Purple Fashion Magazine. Love this photo, perfect capture. I hope the winds of Muriwai will be in our favour (sans rain) this Saturday at the shoot to keep my silk chiffon's flying too!

I have to say I really like this season's South Park, it went back to it's usual edginess which I really missed last season, what happened to you guys Trey and Matt?? I'm glad your zest is back and I hope it stays that way the rest of the season. I have never previously blogged about an episode (even though ...

I love democracy, its principles at heart are good in politics at least when its actually being applied honorably. But this post is about politics of a different kind. But seriously how applicable is the concept of democracy in the creative arena when the some truly creative genius gets overshadowed by the popular vote. I have seen this happen so ...

Guess who's on the Summer 2012/13 Australia and New Zealand Coke Ad Campaign???? Our BILLIE Holland of course! Gooo Billie!!! Check it out and show Bills some love and hit that like button on youtube! xx

I know what hitting the wall is, I've watched Run Fat Boy Run. But last Friday I experienced hitting the wall in the most paramount way possible - I couldn't even look at my work. I knew this semester wouldn't be easy, getting back to academics and balancing self directed projects, but I thought I had enough conviction to not ...

So thanks to a certain friend, this is what I have been listening too in the past day on repeat, in love with Pompeii, but love Nara, it's so uplifting in a nurturing kind of way, its too early in the morning to find words, and some things just don't need words. Enjoy!

Good morning! Saw this on my facebook newsfeed today and thought I would share it, its so cute and inspirational, have a great day! xx I don't to whom this instagram belongs anymore to credit it, I think it's gone viral too long to find out...but thank you whoever took it :)

I have been dreading this blog post since I found out the bad news on Thursday night but like a fast peeled band-aid it must be done. Unfortunately due to uncontrollable and unforeseen events we had to postpone the shoot to the 13th of October, which actually left a lot of things in chaos. Yup, chaos seems like an appropriate ...
