Peace, love and mirror work

Here's me finally featuring my first 'mirror-work on vintage denim' shorts that I have been wearing quite consistently. Its been sometime since I've created something and this evening I got all angsty and sad, it took some time till I realised I have not created anything and that is making me cranky. Does that happen to anyone else? I need to do more than work, come home, eat and sleep to nourish my being. I still haven't started on my tie-dye Ganesh/ Hindu Goddess tee-shirt, also I am dying to learn to sew, knit and crochet but don't know who to ask and where to begin. So all in all I am pretty starved of creative fulfillment.

But instead of ranting about it, I've decided to stalk inspiring tumblrs in a bit to energize myself and get the creative juices flowing. Do you have any ideas for me? Back to outfit talk, this is my usual attire when the weather can't decide if it wants to be summer or pre-autumn and I love this plaid beauty to death. Another thing I love is the Bowie tank I've worn here, its perfect, its soft and it has David Bowie on it, what more could I want? As you can tell, I am one to repeat my items of clothing again and again, you've seen the Bowie tank here and the plaid shirt here. Hope you're having a wonderful mid-week and are preparing to spoil your loved ones today. I am going to be dancing for womens' rights and can't think of a better way to celebrate love. Sending out good vibes to the universe.

Vintage Levi's plaid and DIY shorts, Vintage leather bucket bag

2013

The first weekend of 2013 was gearing up to be a scorcher and we decided to spend it at Jervis bay a 100 odd square kms bay, about two hours outside of Sydney, basically heaps of different beaches and lots to do in terms of holiday entertainment. Since it was just a weekend trip I wanted to pack right, normally I pack too much or too little or haphazardly and miss my wardrobe options too much. I decided to put things together make sets to help me decide what to take,here are the things that made the final cut. A pair of worn to death and then dipped in multi-colour shorts, my latest favourite vintage leather shorts, vintage Harley Davidson cross body bag to carry my wrap+phone on the beach, band tees, missoni-esque sarong, and boots that looked a bit too new for my liking and I thought stomping around in them all weekend would make them more me, swimmers, a cotton top to wear over the shorts in case it was too hot for tees, a vintage corduroy shirt whose sleeves were hacked off in case I needed layers, I also took my flip flops and silver jewellery which you will have to wait to see in the outfit posts. What would you pack for a weekend away at the beach?
