On Monday I am starting a shoe design course, and I'm super excited!
There's so many shoes I am ready to create.
paciotti, kirkwood, campbell, skovgaard, acne, balenciaga - thanks for all your inspiration over the past couple of years.

We just had a lovely weekend in Melbourne. Had to leave the bubba at home at the last minute, so it turned into a romantic walking tour of the city. There's so much great art hidden in the little lane ways. 'Ava look below:

Sia, I love you!

I love your sound. Every time I hear it it reaches inside and grabs at something. A heart string perhaps? Not sure, but it can make me smiley and it can make me teary, all at once.
Love the sound and the general kookiness.

sometimes you just need to feel those wheels a-turning.

On hot days like these, the breezy easy of an all-in-one is very appealing.
In fact most days it's an ideal option for someone like me. Someone who is so busy working and chasing after her 2 year old that she barely has time to dress herself.
Sometimes mums dress their babies to look like teeny tiny adults - eg 0000 sized denim jeans with buttons and combat pockets, collared shirts and hair accessories.
I on the other hand, prefer to dress myself like a baby. One soft fleecy item, and I'm good to go.
It's funny. I can spend hours looking at other people's blogs about the effort they put into dressing themselves daily, but can't seem to find the time to wash my hair or find a belt (let alone one that matched my outfit).

A girl at work had this book on an awesome artist called Charlie Harper. Immediately I went online to have a look for some images, and I was inundated with Charlie Sheen pics. Turns out Charlie Harper is the name of his character in 'Two and a half men'. Coincidently, there's another Harper/Artist/Sitcom crossover with Ben Harper in 'My Family'.

I watch you walk in your soft men's shoes

The first image is from: http://artandghosts.typepad.com/. The shoes are a Dr Martens / Stussy collaboration.
Theres something about a pair of desert boots that fill a little void in my inspirational heart. Possibly it traces back to the first pair of Rollers I had. Every time I put them on, I relished the moment. And I'm talking about a rather ugly pair of mens shoes, really. There''s also a vivid memory of those Clarks desert boots back in the day, I would watch the feet of the kids who wore them intensely. The gummy sole looked SO comfy. Were they called moon boots?
Is it normal to feel so impacted by these shoey moments in life? Don't even get me started on what my desire for a pair of kung fu slippers from the asian 'thuc pham a chao tan hong phat' on the corner did to me. I memorised the name of the shop for one thing. How can a pair of $8 slip ons mean so much to a girl of 10?

I love these. I didn't realise I was such an equine lover - but these two images are really working for me today. The first looks like paradise to me. If I could live on a beach and ride a beautiful horse through the clean water, I'd probably feel that life was perfect. The second is an amazing leather harness which looks so good in this colour, that I have just bought one of my own! Thanks http://shop.zanabayne.com/

So, YAY, step 1. I have sponsored a child from Ghana. A beautiful little girl named Charlotte.
It is a really good feeling to know that this means one less child that has to walk 5km just to get fresh water.
so worth it. so worth it!
