Instagram’s Monster; Part 1

July 10, 2020July 2, 2020Leave a comment

Online, the way one presents themselves and their identity is fluid which means that users of media, such as Instagram, can create and generate several different versions of themselves (Kendall 1998, Turkle 1999). Turkle described the computer as a means of creating a ‘second self’ (1984), Instagram can be seen as a popular way of … Continue reading Instagram’s Monster; Part 1

That’s a Wrap – Fields of Gold

April 25, 2020April 25, 20202 Comments

A little while ago, I wrote up a post all about how to organise a photoshoot whilst travelling (link here) and thought it would be fun to share just what such collaborations can create. When I knew I was going to be travelling to Poland last year, I really wanted to grab the opportunity to … Continue reading That’s a Wrap – Fields of Gold

Daisy Jean Alice in Wonderland Collection

  As some of you know, I have recently become the Australian face for Daisy Jean Floral for 2020. It's such an exciting venture but also a very scary one. As one of my yearly resolutions, I am trying to be kinder to myself and stop putting myself down even as a joke, so to … Continue reading Daisy Jean Alice in Wonderland Collection

Sarsparilly – Veronica Biker Jacket Review

November 1, 2019November 1, 2019Leave a comment

I have a weird habit of wearing out my clothes until they are literally hanging on by a thread before I throw them out; one of my favourite items whilst living in Dublin was my black faux leather jacket which I wore until the sleeves were all peeling, the zip was busted and the lining … Continue reading Sarsparilly – Veronica Biker Jacket Review

Day at the Farm Look Book – Miss MonMon Styling

July 15, 2019July 14, 20191 Comment

Continuing on with my new Look Book series, today we are off to the farm. There are some really classic images of Audrey Hepburn surrounded by baby animals which have always been an inspiration to me. I loved her natural beauty and how at home she was with all the animals. I grew up on … Continue reading Day at the Farm Look Book – Miss MonMon Styling

What a lovely sunny Saturday it was 💚
It's the long weekend! It's a quiet one for me with only some housework, a catch up with friends and a shoot. It's a pretty exciting shoot but it's all secret squirrel business for now. I can't wait!
The best part about summer is discovering new wonderful places to have adventures. One quiet Wednesday we drove into the hills and found an isolated swimming hole surrounded by beautiful bushland. The water was so calm, clear and cool. It's always such a precious thing to be out and deep in the heart of the beautiful outdoors. As much as I love the beach and the pool, a secret fresh water swimming hole in the mountains is hard to beat.
Today somehow felt like Monday all over again. I was productive for a few hours but then, you know, migraine.
Summertime; sunshine, straw hats and peaches. I went on a cute peach picking adventure a little while ago in preparation of today's blog and video release. Link in bio 🍑
And just like that, the weekend is over. I spent mine with a migraine but it's just made me more determined to have a productive week.
After two days of migraines, it's time to just unwind, have a shower and go to bed early for once.
I feel very blessed that every morning and ever night this fluffy baby comes up for snuggles and cuddles.
I know one day I'll look back and think, "remember when we had to wear masks? Wild times!".
Although we only had to wear masks for two weeks, it was still a chance to get overdressed and be as glamorous as possible. I had just finished sewing this dress when we entered lockdown so whipping up a matching mask wasn't a big task. This is my first attempt at the Gertie Butterick b6380 pattern in @gertie18 fabric. I'm pretty happy with it but I think next time I might adjust the bust a bit more.
