Waiting For You
S
Sometimes I get lost in a world of melodies and wounded hearts, soft parades and poetry...
I've been going through old journals and books today, stumbling across so many times and places. This nostalgia makes me light-headed with it's 20/20 vision.
I don't like the idea hindsight. I just want to live in the now.
And love in the now.

I bet you my heart you don't know my name
You don't listen it's the same over and over again
I thought I told you, I thought I said
Lonely boys only go to bed with
Heartbreakers like me...
I'm kickin' the sugar... Keepin' the spice...
You don't listen it's the same over and over again
I thought I told you, I thought I said
Lonely boys only go to bed with
Heartbreakers like me...
I'm kickin' the sugar... Keepin' the spice...
Nothing ever happened to the girls who keep it nice
I'll break the door
I'll take the floor
I'll start the fight
Coz I'm kickin' the sugar, but baby
I'll keep the spice

Someday I'll Fly Away
S
This is such a little mish-mash of pieces but it's one of my most favourite outfits...
Sometimes you just find something that makes you feel good no matter what the weather is, no matter how bad a week you're having, no matter anything - you just feel good.
I know, I'm going a little bird / feather crazy lately - and there's actually more to come! But there's something about the freedom of flight that's feeling really alluring...
One day I'll fly away
Leave all this to yesterday
Why live life from dream to dream
And dread the day when dreaming ends

And dread the day when dreaming ends

Devil's in The Detail
S
It's been a journey worthy of a twelve part series... But my single Devil's in The Detail has finally hit the open ether and is now available for your ears and eyes to enjoy... This is everything I have, I've started over and I'm naked before you. So whether you like it or not...
This is me. This is my skin.
This is my music.
This is me. This is my skin.
This is my music.
The concept of the video comes from the struggle of light and dark... A wanderlust trip through heartstrings and broken bones, shimmering shadows and static dreams...
The pulsing jungle drums and the flesh of the earth...
I made the video with friends and smashed it all together on iMovie.
Thanks to Mango the bird for flying in for the day.

It will be online Friday at the same time my single goes out to iTunes.

Some Lyrics.

Been editing a little video for my new single and these lyrics are getting played over and over again!!
Got me thinking about how theraputic writing music is.

My Mother - Style Inspiration.
S
Kathlyn.
She carries herself with a gentle grace.
Loves a good laugh but is elegantly refined.
Independent with a gracious strength.
My mother has taught me everything I know about the art of being a woman.
Style Inspiration from a 50's baby.
I was always jealous that my mum got to live through the 50's, 60's and 70's - but now I just take inspiration from her wardrobe and she gives me tips on my designs and how to make them 'cooler'.
Don't you just love that?!
I used to love looking at these old photographs of her and always admired her style - I still do! She was a true fashionista before the word was even invented and as a teenager would have things made by local dressmakers from her own designs! It must be where I get it from.
She taught me Dedication.
When I was growing up, she would paint her nails once a week, and roll her hair with heated rollers every second day before going to work. She had a dedicated skincare routine and was always classicly organised. I didn't think much of it as a kid - but as I'm growing older I'm realising just how incredibly stylish she is. (So I'll forgive her for the 80's!!)

You just don't seem to see much of the old Hollywood class these days.
I mean seriously - doesn't she just LOOK like a movie star?
She's always reminded me of Audrey Hepburn.
To this day she still rolls her hair in heated rollers every second day before going to work.
Without fail.

Peace of Cake
S
Made myself a birthday cake.
Chocolate mudcake with orange flavoured icing, served with Madagascan vanilla bean Ice-cream (Crunchie and Coconut Rough smashed into it ala Cold Rock) and fresh strawberries.
Could you possibly get any more decadent? I had to do it.
"Peace of Cake"
Is this not the coolest thing ever? Forget mini-cupcakes when you can make full size PEACE cakes! Bake tray made by FRED - I picked this up at a cute little store in Potts Point called "Bang" http://shopatbang.com
You may or may not know that I love to bake things. Especially mini-cup cakes.
I think it's the decoration part I love the most, playing with what flavours work together and making everything look way too good to eat!
So on the weekend while baking my birthday peace cake and deciding just what to serve it with, it got me thinking about all my past birthdays and why I love the idea of cakes so much. And after looking through some photos it's pretty clear where I get it from... MY MUM!
I don't think I ever got just a plain cake - here's a few of my faves...
The Rabbit.
2nd birthday - I kind of look scared... Maybe I thought it was a real rabbit?
Hickory Dickory Dock...
The Candy Store...
I remember that my mum didn't want me colouring in the candy stripes because I would probably do it messy... And I insisted that I was an awesome colouring-in-erer (in fact it was my favourite subject at school that year - duh!)...
The strangest thing is that I can clearly remember looking at my finished art piece thinking I had done the most spectacular job and that it was perfect... Check out my SCRIBBLE on the candy store top!
Just goes to show that beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder :)
The Piano.
So age four is where it all started - the music and fashion I mean. We had an upright Pianola Piano that looked just like this. And you can see here I was a true lover of fashion - I mean look at my tracksuit... It had matching pants. Glad I got dressed up for my party.
The thing I love most about all of these memories is that the table cloth didn't change from my 1st birthday to my 5th. And even better than that is it's not the SAME table cloth - my mum just had heaps of the same style. Thanks 'the 80's'.
