craving hot, dry days & splashing in the ocean.

summer, please don’t leave until I have

had the chance to do some more splashing in the ocean!

It’s really hard to do that living in Brunswick, I promise

I’ll be more proactive in heading beachside more often…

I have no words. I am loving the AW13 collections…

Loving the tones, textures, tartans & smatterings of metallic!

(Finally! Metallics done in a non techy-futuristic way!)

A recent trip to Raffles Hotel in Singapore, where I sat & sipped a fluffy pink cocktail amongst palm trees & chandeliers, then back home to the cherry blossom trees lining my street, I am looking to Shanghai circa 1930 to inspire the next lot of sketchpad shananigans.
