10 Days of Melbourne; my True Love gave to me...



With my head in the...





The place I kept my shoes;





Little Cupcake Shops... everywhere!





My favourite Architecture;





The Floor of my Favourite Architecture;





Just Love.





Concrete comes Cool;



The kid in a Zelda cape that "dug my style..." - Minotaur







Reflect;



My favourite shade of Pink Lippy...



Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and Diamonds are a Girls Best Friend...

 


The jacket, that didn't make it home...

 







 







 

Outre:  MISS VAN, Mark Rydens and Angelique...!



Endless Cups of Tea;



Pure genius;



It Started In... Adelaide!

Why Hello there!
While I'm sure I've been terribly busy...
I can hardly remember a thing I've been up to...



Jeykl hiding in the machine
















It must have started with Racewear Induced Amnesia... here's it half way through my machine.  I didn't sleep much that week!... But all sooking aside; I'm really happy with the outcome - and if you look back to the sketches.... It's pretty true-to-life; anyways - who actually cares for anything apart from IT LOOKS AMAZING!  And I invite anyone and everyone who reads this to come along to the TAFE SA RACEWEAR PARADE, October 30th, and the Jekyll Hyde dress will be there! 



Rhett Butler... ♥
















I am still obsessed with Gone With The Wind;
Planted the seed to Shannan that I think the boxset would be much better than the standard!
SO MANY SPECIAL FEATURES, and cards... oui la la!


Dough. @ the Central Markets.  Choc Pistachio heaven... ♥♥

See that green stuff?  It's like pistachio cream.  Bitter cocoa tart.... Delish!
So many wonderful and delicious places to explore @ the Central Markets, it makes me feel so lucky that we have something like that in Adelaide!  I spent a Friday just wandering... then a D&M/Cocktail date with a BFF... Absolutely bliss!

Don't Step on the Caterpillars... they are baby Butterflies }{

The insects have my back when I get overwhelmed...
Must be a residual child-hood fascination... but they always appear when I need to be told TO CHILL OUT!


Rainbows.

Spent an afternoon road trippin' and rummaging @ Savers with another ladylove!
SO MANY COLOURS!


Bedazzles, and Fraying... tres chic!
















I secretly love these jewels, no better way to show off your love handles!



North Adelaide, LOL




I saw this months ago and had to get a photo when I was in the hood!

Was fairly impressed when I showed my Mum that she knew exactly where it was....

Had my first Fashion Parade @ work;
Had visits from my olds, from BFFs and interstate friends!
Had way too many assignments... but love it.

Off to Melbourne tomorrow...
Wish me luck and shopping victories!!  xx




Prototype! Prototype!

More Escapade, Less Fashion;

Did June exist? ...hehehe.
Been super-busy (who hasn't?) trying to defrost the last month!
Currently on Holidays which means WORKING lots!
Have not been too snap happy of late which is truly disappointing;
But have been able to catch up with some of my favourite ladies in the last week;
Which makes my heart smile!

I found this old photo from May;



I spent the day w. my Nana trying on clothes @ my job as a Retail Stylist!
Spent a weekend at hers, internet-less, which was actually tres fun!
Played a card game called Hand and Foot...
GOt back in touch with nature and spent some time w. her before she set off on a 4 month trip around WA!! Jelous...

I also caught up for coffee tonight with my dear friend Georgeena!
We met when we were studyingin 2008; and she's from Syria,
And she is beautiful and smart and lovely!



So this is from Topkapi Palace in Istanbul, 2008;



And this was us, post-coffee @ Adelaide Uni, North Terrace!!
<3 She is our own Princess Jasmine!! Don't know about you, but I would totally park my car near this machine!

In regards to being Fashionable?!
A smile never goes out of style!
And I will update with Fashionable Escapades as soon as I get them on film...

Promise;

With frozen fingers and pink cheeks!!

MISS KATE xx

(PS: Been keen to buy a new baby-laptop and I think now is the time considering its too cold to get out of bed most days!! Updates from bed? BOOYAH! Dear Mr Taxman...)

I Can; And I Will.

Ohhhh dear.
I forgot about the blog.

Had an amazing dinner date with Nic-Nic, Ryley, Kye and Sarie two Mondays ago;
If anyone reading this in Adelaide hasn't been to East Taste Cafe on Gouger.
Go. Just get off your computer - go now.
Anyways; LONG over due and just left me with a giant smile all week!

Shannan got a tonne of parcels from eBay.
His current pose.



Reading.
It's like old fashioned DVDs.
And the DVD that took years...

So TAFE has been super-busy!
Been working in groups developing a range for our Gilles St Market Debut in December...
Will upload some work later;
Also been draping,



Finished!


So this is what happens when you have lots of pins.
And a terrible ammount of time.
I like the boob cup on the shoulder; I'm sure Lady Gaga would wear it!

The work that goes into this is incredible;

It's couture darling... x
Short detour to IKEA for lightglobes ended up with me buying fabric;
(and not lightglobes)
How could you walk past this?



Friday evening was Tashes Bday
$2 Gin and Tonics.
Gosh yes!
Not to mention; fantastic company again!
And D&Ms with people you've known for ages...
D&Ms with new lovelies; and lots and lots more smiles!

Saturday.
Evening in with the boy. Sounds lame?
I needed it... x

Sunday was my vintage themed day!
Catching up @ the North Adelaide Vintage Market
[SO MANY GLOMESH PURSES needed love....]
Then spent the afternoon with my Grandparents.

I took this photo in the garden...
Always remember to smell the roses.



It's always a little hard visiting them;
Just makes my heart hurt but my Grandpa had some good advice that he lives by:

"I can and I will"

And he as overcome so much in his life;
kicking it into almost an Octogenarian era!
So it must be good...



Sunday evening spent @ the "brother in laws"
Acted taxi; had dinner @ 11-30pm (at East Taste again, BOOYAH)
Picked up people from broken down cars;
Shared icecreams...
Continued into Monday (LONG WKEND!!!! Lest we forget...)
I just didn't want to come home.

And really should have got more done!

But needed some reprieve!
So here's to another week....

Gilles Street pending...
Long weekend loving...

With warm feet and tangled hair......

How Soon is Now?

Dear World.

I am in a particularly grouchy mood this eve.
My body is against me and not sticking to our agreement.
My stupid look book is sitting on the table, all but completed.

I hate it.
I HAVE FALLEN OUT OF LOVE!

Anyways.

Apart from the world-hating/teeth-grinding/shitty-moodness...

Spent the weekend with the boy,
Had a Shameless-fest.
Season 7.

Loves.

Alright. So here's some of the images from mi-book.
They are all either drawn by, edited, or milked from me.




I also wish I was one of those cool people who could pull off a pink rinse.

Sigh!
With a Bad Mood and Insomnia...
