What a stormy day! I was worried my pot plants would get blown away so now I have half a jungle inside my house. It was also super windy when I was trying to take these shots for @erstwilder, I'm glad you can't see my skirt trying to fly into the sky. Brian was upset she couldn't sleep on the outside table as it was just to wet so instead she tried to convince me that hiding under the bed is the safest place during thunder. I wish I could tell her she's OK and doesn't need to fear the thunder :( does anyone else have a fur baby who freaks out as soon as it thunders? I can hear her screaming "we're under attack! Under the bed mother!". Poor fluff butt. Scarf and earrings from @erstwilder Cardigan @mak_sweater Dress me made with Butterick pattern and fabric from @spotlightstores
Oh Peter Rabbit, how I love you so ❤ So this week @erstwilder released a recolouring of their ridiculously popular Peter Rabbit collection and also included brand new scarves and bunny earrings! It's perfect for those coming into spring or those getting ready for Easter. This scarf is so soft and cute including Peter and all his friends ❤ Check out my blog to read my full review of this collection and today's blog which should be up within an hour!

I kept thinking today was Friday, perhaps I'm just ready for the weekend. It's another crazy weekend for me with my final fundraiser, a shoot and lots of meetings and planning. I'm hoping to still take some time out to relax perhaps a nice bubble bath is in order. I've loved sharing this Alice in Wonderland collaboration between myself, @daisyjean_floral and @sherbetbirdie_photography with you all. We've had a great response regarding the brooches which is very exciting! There's heaps more photos on my blog of course and I'm still hoping to share more further down the line. Have you got yourself anything special from this collection?
A couple of days off have really made me feel better, calmer and more collected. Self care is so important so even by switching off around 6pm every evening, I already see myself being more productive and better able to handle issues. I'm getting excited for my final fundraising event in conjunction with @pinupdollaustralia as well as a few other fundraising ideas I have which are about to come to light. My fundraising for @bullyzero will fully wrap up in two weeks so I'm really hoping to reach my goal, I'm almost half way! I'm really hoping to make the world a better place. You can still shop my charity items, the link is in my bio. I also have a direct donation link, see my stories or look up "MonMon" on the everydayhero webpage. ❤❤❤ Photo by @sherbetbirdie_photography Hair and makeup @mua_marija Brooch and earrings @daisyjean_floral
The caterpillar from Wonderland was always one of my favourite characters. He was so wise, straightforward but challenged people to get to a conclusion themselves. As great as it is to get an answer, sometimes we just need to figure it out for ourselves. Even if it takes us a while; there are so many lessons we can learn along the way. This brooch is my favourite from the new Alice collection from @daisyjean_floral His resin is just so beautiful 😍 I'm on a few very personal journeys at the moment which will take quite some time: I'm on a quest for self love, self worth and learning to be kind to myself. I'm also trying to figure out who I am and how to be myself a bit more. There's always a fear of rejection but as Dita says, "how can be the juiciest, ripest peach in the world and there will still be someone who doesn't like peaches". I'm learning to open up a bit more and be my true self 🍑 Photo by @sherbetbirdie_photography Hair and makeup @mua_marija Brooch and earrings @daisyjean_floral Dress true vintage
Painting the roses red 🌹❤🌹 My actually garden is struggling in this heat and but at least my tomatoes and blueberries are pretty happy. I really do miss gardening but I'm hoping to get back into it all once April kicks in. Do you have a green thumb? This was one of my favourite sets from the Alice shoot with Sherbet Birdie and Daisy Jean. These flowers were just so pretty and I had too much fun "painting" them. Not to mention the adorable matching Queen of Hearts brooch🌹 Photo by @sherbetbirdie_photography Hair and makeup @mua_marija Brooch and earrings @daisyjean_floral Dress and apron true vintage
Monday feels ❤ This week I am trying to be really strict on myself and stop working at 6:30 in the evenings. I normally work right on through till about 2am but I'm just getting very drained and tired. I'm starting to say no to a few things and taking on fewer collaborations. It makes me anxious not to work but I need to focus on my mental health right now. Things will get back to normal in April but right now I'm taking things slow. There will be a new video released now once every two weeks but I'll still aim for one-two blogs a week. I'll still try to post regularly here and keep posting on the bookface too. I hope you're loving these Alice photos from my collab with @daisyjean_floral and @sherbetbirdie_photography because I've still got heaps more to share. This one is a particular favourite. I've wanted to do this kind of shot since I got into modelling all those years ago. ❤❤ Photo by @sherbetbirdie_photography Hair and makeup @mua_marija Brooch and earrings @daisyjean_floral Dress and apron true vintage.
It was a very busy weekend so I decided to switch off and have some alone time. A few things got overwhelming so by taking a step back I was able to figure out a better game plan. Today I'm staying home and cleaning and then later tonight I'll catch up with admin. Much like Alice here, there's a lot on my plate! This shoot was so much fun and the level of cuteness was unbelievable! It's all worth it for the @daisyjean_floral Alice in Wonderland collection. Go check it out now! 💙💙 Photo @sherbetbirdie_photography Hair and makeup @mua_marija Brooch and earrings @daisyjean_floral Dress and apron true vintage.
Hurray! Today is the release of @daisyjean_floral brand new Alice in Wonderland collection. This collection is absolutely stunning and features brand new depictions of all your favourite Wonderland characters. The resin in this collection is so gorgeous and it makes every piece unique and beautiful ❤ Alice's Adventures in Wonderland was the first novel I ever read and although it was ambitious reading such a book in the second grade, I got through it with the help of my teacher. The story showed me just how wonderful reading could be and how exciting the adventures books take you on are. I've had my nose buried in a book ever since and even have a Bachelor's of English Literature. Yep, I'm a book worm and proud of it. Don't make me quote Shakespeare at you! ❤❤ Photo by @sherbetbirdie_photography Makeup and hair @mua_marija Earrings and brooch @daisyjean_floral Dress and apron are true vintage
Tomorrow I am taking the entire day off to do whatever I want because I just know that I'll end up crashing and spiralling further down the road. It's completely play to acknowledge that you're tired, drained and in need of a break. I am going to fall down the rabbit hole of self care and relax tomorrow. Now, what skin care should I indulge in? Photo by @sherbetbirdie_photography Hair and Makeup @mua_marija Brooch and earrings @daisyjean_floral Dress and apron true vintage
