sing for your supper

Sometimes there comes a time when you have to sing for your supper. Fortunately for me I have a plate of leftovers to be microwaved and a voice that is not quite ready for public consumption.

Should I keep up this whole writing gig however, I may just find myself busking on the streets of Melbourne to earn a pretty penny.

Having said that, the good news rolled in this week (and funnily enough has continued to do so ever since). I managed to pull an article in Fashion Journal 97.

You can grab yourself a free copy at most fashion boutiques, chain stores and cafes in and around your city, or check out the online version HERE

A big thank you to editor Leah White for persisting with my piece and how can I forgo a mention to the lovely ladies at TV who made it all possible...Ingrid Verner and Monika Tywanek (http://www.tvthelabel.com/)

And lastly I'd like to thank the higher beings from above, without which, I never would've made it this far in life

*cue music and shameless tears*

got quirk?

Just as an FYI, I am not a fan of the Lady Gaga's of this world. Whilst I find her style all very creative and theatrical, I don't believe for one moment that she rolls out of bed and throws on these outfits as part of her everyday garb. The whole "it's just who I am" thing is wearing thin...fast. Who really wants to lounge around on a Sunday in a lace body suit, complete with camel toe. How on earth is one supposed to read the Sunday paper with a net eye cover?

Give me quirky yes, but give me quirky with a touch of class, a dash of reality and a whole lot of wear-ability.

Step aside Lady Gaga and enter; Chloe Sevigny, Alexa Chung, Lou Dillon, Cory Kennedy, Atlanta De Cadenet Taylor, Diane Kruger, Peaches & Pixie Geldoff, Whitney Port, Shannyn Sossaman, Mary Kate & Ashley Olsen and Harley Viera Newton.

For these are the girls who's colours clash, who's patterns collide, who's sweater pants are paired with heels and fur coats...these are the girls with original style, unique unto their own without being blatantly obvious.

life is like

'LIFE ISN'T ABOUT FINDING YOURSELF,

IT'S ABOUT CREATING YOURSELF'

Just a little something I think we all need to remind ourselves of every once in while, non?
