I feel like the Statue of Liberty in this spiked headband. Albeit a One Teaspoon-clad-crop-topped-hipster-triangle-wearing-1990's version of her. It got me thinking about freedom and liberty and I found myself asking the question:

HOW DO YOU DEFINE FREEDOM? 

For some it would be a day without war - others, a day at the beach. Some want to be outside of prison walls and others want to escape the walls they've put up. A simple chance to speak your mind and be heard is a freedom most of us have but would you consider yourself free? I just read a quote of Joan Collins' in this month's Frankie...

"Show me a person who has never made a mistake, and I'll show you a person who has never achieved much"  

I think at this moment, my own greatest freedom is allowing myself to make mistakes and not caring, not stopping and not worrying. To judge yourself (or others) on mistakes of the past will only keep you trapped.It's so much more fun to be able to look back and laugh at yourself than to look back in disappointment.

So let yourself go and be free :)

All I wanna do is have some fun go to Paris!

I don't think the funky little township featured on this House of Wilde poncho style top is part of the Kingdon of France but I'm going to pretend it is. Now I wanna go... And I'll be wearing the hell outta this killer leather studded collar - thanks to Mother and Father PR for introducing me to the incredibly hot How Typical of Metal.

 

I studied art history for my TEE in high school and saw Monet up close when some of his collection traveled to Perth years ago (man, they always get the best stuff! Bahaha) And I've always imagined giving everything up to become a poet and a painter, living in Moulin Rouge style bohemia.

 

I'd spend my days wandering the River Seine, soaking up the magic at The Louvre, snacking on macaroons and cigarettes. By suppertime, me and my artist friends Salvador Dali and Camille Pissarro would watch the sun set from a clifftop, drinking Champagne. I'm not 100% sure if Leonardo Da Vinci got the memo but I hope he comes, he's a great conversationalist with his crazy ideas of helicopters and calculators - what a hoot!

 

Guess I'd better get back to reality - recording my new EP. 

Wait, that's not so bad after all! 

 

Have fun dreaming the weekend away x

It's just not quite consistent beach weather yet in Sydney and even though it's far from bikini days - I couldn't wait to wear this gorgeous Roxy kaftan. So I tried something a little different with boots & chokers - totally bringin' back the 1970's boho grunge bitch riiiigghhhh?

When I was a teenager back in Perth I was obsessed with Roxy - couldn't get me in anything else... I grew out of it as I grew out of the beachy surf style my home-town is known for. And it's been a while since the laid back Aussie label has entered my wardrobe... But with this little baby (thanks to The Arc Factory) I think I'll be mixing my summer beach background with my inner city lifestyle. 

Sometimes you gotta invent a whole universe... 

just with what you have.
