working 9 to 5 (weekend style)

This weekend resembled an ordinary work day more than I care for. Lots of sitting at my desk. No brunch, no wandering around taking photos, no hot chocolate. 


But never fear, I did manage to have a little bit of fun. I had a super Friday night at Boy & Bear (they were amazing). I tried my hand at illustrating food for my sisters friends kitchen tea present.  And I designed some more wedding invitations and I've even included a super sneaky peek for you. I think this one might be my favourite project yet - but I think that about all of them when I am doing them. 


So maybe it wasn't so bad. Hope you had a super weekend xx

shape of love

While i feel a little bamboozled this Monday, I blame the silly torrential rain we had in Melbourne over the weekend for upsetting my balance or something. So while I am all frazzled and struggling to string together a sentence I thought I would join in with Anna again for Much Love Monday ! 

things i'm loving this week :

mid week Public Holidays - Melbourne Cup I love you 

buying too many concert tickets - January and February please hurry up and get here!

and the song I am loving this week - Shape of Love by Passenger featuring Boy and Bear

This video is actually from the gig I saw last weekend - enjoy :) 

ps. I think you can download this track for free thanks to inertia - but buy the whole album instead and make an indie artist smie :) 

music makes me happy

i'm pretty sure my love for music, in particular gorgeous layered folkish offerings, is pretty darn clear by now.  Actually the 2 things i am probably most excited about doing on my trip to be truly honest are seeing Laura Marling in Salt Lake City and Mumford + Sons in a few cities on my travels (slightly obsessed, I know).  


And here is a little offering to share from boy + bear to tide me over for the 13 days until i leave. i love it and they are stunning. go listen. it's lovely.

truth // i like moments of bliss

moments of bliss are few and far between. i mean true moments of joy where you just kind of feel like you are glowing. its rare, well at least for me. so when i catch myself in moment of true bliss and happiness i am always taken aback and in the same moment treasure it. i found myself feeling this exact way last night when i was watching laura marling at the corner hotel.  i haven't been truly content like that in i don't know how long. she is stunningly talented. seriously, if don't already love her, go and listen to her because she is an amazing songwriter with a truly beautiful voice. and she was joined by the rather dapper marcus of mumford and sons who is also ridiculously talented (playing 3 instruments at once anyone?). i was literally swooning over him, sort of embarrassing but completely justified. above are a few photos i took from my front row possie. oh and check out the support act too - boy and bear - they are a rather talented little foursome.
