friday morning

a snapshot of my friday morning...

coffee - productivity in a cup. sketches made whilst watching project runway last night. country road's latest sale (i'm in savings mode so really need to throw this away pronto!). today's to-do list - written on an old envelope complete with notes from katrina's latest amazing tutorial. 

happy weekend everyone!

as of right now

+ i'm wishing this vera wang dress was mine (via squid)

+ i'm wearing my new handmade woollen socks - they are rocking my world. did i mention they're handmade?

+ i'm working on new projects - and what better way to get inspired than with a new notebook. i picked up a couple when we were over in melbourne from meet me at mikes, only to return to nz and see one of them featured in an issue of fashion quarterly. i have never been so 'on-trend' in my life! ha

a great list

it's friday, so i'm keeping it short and sweet.

if you read nothing else online over the weekend, let it be 'how to steal like an artist (and 9 other things nobody told me)" by austin kleon.

we're off to wellington! enjoy the picture show here over the next couple of days...x

life is art

makeunder challenge

a couple of weeks ago i started my 50 things challenge inspired by jess of makeunder my life. we've done a lot of moving these past four years so i'm getting a lot better at only keeping things i love. that being said, i still can't walk past fashion magazines, ribbon or a pretty dress without my wallet somehow flying out of my pocket!

here's my list of things i re-gifted, re-cycled (as in donated) or re-moved (sent to the trash)!

1, 2, 3, 4 pairs of shoes - recycled

5 bag - recycled

6 basket - regifted

7 a ball of stuffing (????!) very random, i think i had plans to make something for my nephew! - removed

8, 9 dresses i never wore - recycled

10 a strange pair of gloves - recycled

11 magnetic letters - removed

12 spiral journal - recycled

13 a pair of earrings - recycled

14 unused lancome eyeshadow - regifted - and my friend absolutely loved it - double bonus!

15 assorted lipglosses - removed

16 a roll of tape i'd saved with approximately 4cm left - yup, removed

17 welcome pack from my hairdresser - removed

18 a pack of cards minus the seven of clubs - removed

19 small canvas - recycled
