Do it Do it Disco

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!! Hope you all have a great day and hope that you get to enjoy it with those dearest to you.

I'm excited to share this shoot with you, taken back in August with a good friend of mine, Jonathan Rae. It's now published in Haunt Mag issue 7: Destination Unknown. You can see the full spread right here!

I got so many goodies from my trip, we decided to pull a few things out, scale walls, climb fences and break into some awesome locations for a shoot around Brisbane.

Thanks to the team at Jump From Paper, I scored this limited edition Caramel bag to play with for the shoot. I've been a fan of their unique, animated style since day one!

DIY: Kawaii Clear Clutch

Remember collecting stickers (from morning glory, those of you who live in Brisbane) and having them all in a sticker book you can show off? Once again, you can revisit your childhood with this super easy DIY! Duh, I know everyone of you out there are more than capable of running wild with a bunch of stickers and a clear bag of your choice. But to save you from a few oh shit, shouldn't have done that moments, here are a few handy tips!

I got my bag off etsy; they have all sorts of styles and sizes! Stickers are from anywhere from markets to department stores and stationary shops.

First off, clean your bag/surface you wish you stick the crap out of! Nothing worse than getting fluff or hair caught under your stickers and you end up having trailing strands of hair (unless that's what you want) or snapped off bits sticking out all over the place.

Collect all the stickers you want to have on your bag BEFORE you start sticking things down. I had to peel ones off to make room for the new cool 3D ones I ended up getting.

If you want some kind of symmetry for a more organised look then use a measuring tape/ruler to decide where the center of your bag is (if you have a feature sticker) or to help you divide your working space into quarters.

Home stretch! Like Purikura, the more the better, fill out every gap for that overkill kawaii look...

And you're done. Fill that up! Click here for a super cute tutorial by The Milk Club on how to style a clear bag!

Motherly Advice

I have the fondest memories of sporting killer outfits when I was a kid! We're talking head to toe hello kitty, snoopy and tweety outfits, denim suspender dresses and coordinated to the nth degree, creations. Thanks to Mum, my childhood albums were already bursting at the seams with outfit shots (my photo booth takes the load these days). Over the weekend, we managed to cull down the collection to 12 looks over tea and nostalgia resulting in a not so serious interview about her inspirations and styling career. Drop by the Spool Collective blog to read all about it and to find out more about Spool (an exciting new collective I'm apart of)!

Can't wait till winter! Well lately i've been working on getting together with a team of makeup artists and photographers to style a shoot. Exciting stuff! 

Any-who, lacking a team and after poking numerous tiny holes in my wall, this is what i came up with
