Celeb Style Muse | Stevie Nicks

She rocks my world each time I hear her voice... Such a great band, such a great era, such a great style! Need I say more?

Cecilia

When I found the above clip, I almost slid off my office chair :-) haha it raised some eyebrows with my co workers believe me! This would be one of my fav Simon & Garfunkel songs being covered by a gaggle of gorgeous men who are incredibly gifted with more than musical talents! By the looks this is earlier in their career... Love the use of the tree and the esky in the percussion section too!

It's now official... I am completely obsessed with Local Natives... and I mean COMPLETELY OBSESSED! Not only have I fallen deeply in love with their music, I have to admit I have developed a major crush on Taylor Rice!

How could you not adore this young man??? I mean really... the mo, that mouth and the sound that pours forth from it... and how cute is he without the mo in the clip at the top!!!!????

God help this man if I EVER get within about 500m of him!

Song of the Day | Local Natives

Welcome to my new regular feature Song of the Day!


Click the player belowto listen to today's Song of the Day!

I love this song so much... the harmonies make my heart feel lovesick and the sense of yearning is almost too much to bear (especially with all that keening at the start of the song), but none the less I crave the sensation and listen over and over and over again! If I actually let myself be swept away by the music, it brings tears to my eyes every time... such a journey, such an EPIC journey! These guys are pure GENIUS!!!!

Aussie Cossie

HIGH-heeled ugg boots will make their international catwalk debut as part of Australia's national costume, worn by Gold Coast model Jesinta Campbell at the Miss Universe final next month.

Jesinta will fly the Aussie flag wearing woolly booties in the Las Vegas quest on August 23, reports the Herald Sun.

Campbell, 18, will wear a unique creation by Sydney designer Natasha Dwyer, who works under the Arthur Ave label, in the pageant's national costume section.

"Isn't it incredible," Campbell said yesterday as she revealed the gown.

We're not so sure.

As quoted in the Gold Coast Bulletin today...

Are you kidding me? We're not so sure... (I really hope Sasha didn't write this article...) this dress is AMAZING!!! and the fools that don't like it have no taste!
I think its incredible... I love the shape the skirt provides, to me its grandiose and incredibly flattering and the onesie swimsuit is to die for (if you have the body to sport it) that shrug is mega cute and as for the high heeled uggies.... its every aussie chick's dream to have an amazing pair of stylish heels that are also mega warm and cosy.... it's a winner in my eyes and I'd be surprised if there is another outfit in that horrible pageant that reflects the origins of its model better!

This outfit is a total win for me... I want that belt and skirt!!

Abandonment

Image credit | Sam Thomas - amazing artist

Ok so i have completely abandoned my blog for the last 6mths!

i guess its been for a few reasons... one is I have had very little time between a busy work schedule, a puppy who commands and absorbs most of my free time (willingly and lovingly mind you!) and the fact that I have been in a bit of a slump of late...

Though its all changing right before my eyes... well that last part at least!

The slump I've found myself emerging from meant that I found little that inspired me enough to blog about, and when I did, I just didn't seem able to find time! That's not to say there was nothing rad and wonderful being produced out there by peeps, I just wasn't looking for it!

Going from a place where I just didn't want to do anything or be anything, to a new perspective of looking forward with a fresh burst of energy, a renewed vigour for life and a good cleanse of my temple has been a breathe of fresh air!

Its amazing to me how deeply I can bury myself in insubstantial, unmeaningful and unhealthy habits that completely remove me from the playing field of my life... I got sick of watching an empty pitch, and finally realised there was no one holding me in the grandstands... so I got up off my ass and headed out to play again!

I have a lot to do to fully get myself back on track, so while I'm not promising to blog everyday, I am going to make an effort to adding something to this 'ere lil ol' visual diary more often!

So here a a few of the images I had buried deep in the bowels of my hard drive just waiting for a day that I had some time to share...

The above images were found somewhere on the web... not sure where but if these images are yours, please comment me and I will add the credit and link for you asap!

Tin Pan Orange

I saw these amazing artists a few weeks ago supporting Mamma Kin at the Loft... such an awesome gig. Emily had me completely mesmorised with her astoundingly beautiful presence, she's one of those artists that I could not take my eyes off! Her voice is so lovely and the music these guys produce is simply lovely! take a listen to the clip below, pretty cool vid... I like it, hope you enjoy!

Underwater love

Trent Mitchell is a local GC boy who is blessed with an amazing ability to capture moments from a perspective that thrills the heck out of my retina's!
His love is waves, clearly a surfer who digs the shit outta mother natures wonderous and gigantic bath!
The colour and saturation of his images are soooo incredible! I love the work he does with film, the digi shots are awesome as well but I would seriously give my left tit for his talents with film!
Plus not to mention he has some great taste, one of the quotes on his website is from one of my fav books, Johnathon Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach... "perfect speed....is being there!"
His gift with a camera, film or digi, is not to be missed check it out kids...

What I would give to have a home like this!!!
Sooooooo cute!!!
This guy is an absolute genius... he built this home for his family in England... true hobbit style!
If it were mine, I'd have a shitload of fairy lights and hanging plants and wind chimes and pretty stuff!!! I think I would never leave home and always be pottering around the house!!!
