Looking Back: The California Coast Part I
Ok. So. After a day of solid inspiration at Semi-Permanent I am feeling particularly motivated by Andrew Quilty's amazing photography work, so tonight I feel compelled to pick up where I left off in my little looking back series of posts. This latest one is part of what I assume could be quite a few posts solely devoted to our time spent driving a van along the California coast (seriously, I highly recommend it if you ever get the chance). This first part sees the departure from LA bound for San Diego, where we had a great day checking out the wonderful animals at the zoo, and some time hanging out in the gaslamp district. After going from a trio to a duo, we began the drive back up through the OC (!!), including Huntington & Laguna Beaches. Then there was a bit of San Luis Obispo, every other little place we could stop off at, and then a hit of the Big Sur just before our first stop in San Francisco. Yes. Our first stop. Get comfy my pretty's, this could take while...
only one more sleep...
...till Semi-Permanent! And here's a fun fact: it's one of the only wishlist items that has actually come true! So tonight I'm actually wishing for nothing really... Aaand I am in the wonderfully fortunate position of having four days off. But what is a Wednesday without a wishlist I hear you ask? ...well, it's probably a Tuesday... or Thursday even... point being, I've still got my eye on at least a few things, when there is so much loveliness out there, how can I not?!
1. Chevron Mug 2. Hand Woven Beaded Friendship Bracelet 3. Gorman Praise the Sun Dress 4. I Miss Being a Small Girl, Silk Scarf 5. Coral Vintage Tea Cups
PS: I think it's quite probable that each wishlist from now on will feature something from Gorman's latest (and upcoming) collections... I really am a broken record that physically cannot stop sharing my undying love for the brand.

Introducing: the DAISY SEE project
Happy Tuesday evening/Wednesday morning everybody!
Yes, I know it may be a little too early for some of you for so much happiness, however I have a completely legitimate reason... So. Raise the curtain, cut the ribbon and smash that champagne peeps - after a few weeks/months of planning and preparation, I've decided to finally let my little part of the world wide web in on a bit of news...
I'm creating a collection of one-of-a-kind chiffon scarves! And I'm calling it 'the DAISY SEE project'! (but really, if all goes well, {and people don't use them as tea towels} it won't just be a one-off project... it will become all that is DAISY SEE... how poetic!?)
So yes, I've always loved doodling despite never being much of a pro-artist, and my motivation to translate all these scribbles into something a bit more fun (and the fact that you can really never have too many scarves) just bubbled over one day not long ago... So, get ready minions, for in the coming weeks DAISY SEE will cease to be just a few words and pictures on your screen... and will become something you can, like, totally accessorise with your latest outfit, or even just tie together to make a skipping rope.
I posted this sneak peek on Instagram last week when I had a strike-off print done, and now that the files have boarded their noble vessel (HMAS USB) and are en-route down south, I felt the time was right.
Be sure to follow here, here & here for all upcoming news. And for even more of the new DAISY SEE creative endeavours, be sure to visit the Suitcase Rummage this Saturday in Brisbane City. You may even be able to haggle yourself a good price for a pair of these babies (expert haggling not guaranteed).
PS: To those of you that have followed along so far, I'd like to just say a quick thank you - I really hope I can continue to call you my 'minions/peeps' for many years to come

Sunday Sounds: Clare Bowditch
Oh hey!
So this eve I'm psyching myself up for next weekend's Red Deer Festival out at Samford. It's pretty much the ideal festival. Around the corner (well, not exactly...) and BYO. Seriously. Amongst all the festivals out there with strict alcohol policies I'm so glad that there is finally someone out there willing to acknowledge that most of us are out for a fun yet relaxing festival experience. All that 'party party' business can get a bit much sometimes, right grandma?
Aaanyway, one of my long time loves has been Clare Bowditch (no, not because her parents blessed her with a pretty decent name..) and hooray for me, she's playing next weekend! I've no idea what she's been up to lately, but a few years ago when I was more in tune with Aussie musicians, I was a super big fan of this song. I'll have to get on the google and see what she's up to, besides being awesome and having a good looking guitarist...
