moreover...


so i heard a cool thing today that sparked my interest...
in the old bible theres a verse in exodus chap 31:1- 7 where it says how God specifically gave creative ability to this dude named Bezalel to design and work with wood and gold & silver. pretty cool right...

but its verse 6 that gets me... the bible says "Moreover, I have appointed Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, to help him"

um so like i have been thinking about community lately and how it is the only hope for our society to operate in love and so that the poor are helped and everyone is leaning on each other (will go into my in-depth thoughts on this another time)
and today i realised the connection between brilliant design and art and how it comes when you have help. whether it is someone to give you creative feedback, encourage you or help you come up with the idea, some of my best work has come when i work with others help.

community + design = goodness

amazing things can be done. and i realised God thought of this thousands of years before i did.

bondi style

stolen from a book called bondi style

patched/ripped denim is about to enter your world (if it hasn't already)

goldfinger(tip)


when a tooth falls out, you can get a shiny gold replacement to show how wealthy you are (and im sure there are other boring, medical reasons you can read up on here)
i didnt exactly lose a nail but i decided that my aqua nails needed a reesh-looking friend. theres something comical and classy about the one-gold-nail thing. its quite liberating... just use the tester at your local beauty counter and try it for yourself. but dont tell anyone i told you!




seeing as i have had a lot of compliments on my tiffany blue nails of late i have really enjoying wearing them out and when i saw this guitar today i thought i should probably live up to my nails, buy the guitar, get lessons and become a superstar.

allans music - like around $299!!

verandah bags

oh deary me, its has been a while since i have written...

in my weekends and very short night-times at home i have been designing the encourage magazine, celebrating the 23rd annual "me" festival (my birthday) and perusing online shops (i am officially addicted) seriously! miss selfridge, asos, urban outfitters, forever21, topshop, LA vintage! i cant keep my eyes off them! i have only made one purchase though because i am saving for my holiday which is in precisely 12 days!

i have decided to share some of my findings and things to add to my wishlist... these are something i found yesterday on a site called needsupply.com
