your tunes.



Don't come too close
You don't wanna see my ghost
Your turn but I'm betrayed
By you my sweetheart
Don't you think that you went too far?
Do you want to see my heart bleed?
For you, you and him
Him and you you know my heart bleeds

-Kooks.

If chocolate had a little finger,
it's got me wrapped around its thumb.

cravings take over.
i crave just one little piece.
i want it after dinner.
but soon i'll be obese.

desire desire desire.
its just a function of our brains.
desire desire desire.
its running through my veins.

black & white.

some of my favourite images;



wish list.



on the prowl for a big thick knit,
for the chilly winter days
when the boyfriend needs his jumper back.

words.


Her eyes are sky blue,
like a pack of 25's.

Her presence is overwhelming,
like a night filled with stars.

She's becoming rather chilled,
laying back at life.

She's enjoying the moment,
& things are turning out fine.

She is in love,
with all the good things.

& she is happy & free,
like a bluebelle in the sky.

This is my best friend,
a person i adore.

i love her silly,
her name is tess.

-Katie

& this is mine.

light me up.





my twentyfirst birthday present.
i cant wait.
hmmmm,
black or traditional...
which do i want?

quote of the day.


the more you know who you are, & what you want, the less you let things upset you.
— lost in translation

baby.


new baby turtle.
her name is little foot,
& she has little feet.

spin the record.


new record player that Byron bought...
we did a retro paint job on it.

Love it.
currently listening to cut copy on vinyl...

My boyfriend.


how cute is first love...

the first time he whispers those three words in your hear.
the first time you admit to yourself that the are butterflies inside you.

when your falling rapidly,
faster than your feet can catch you.
falling somewhere,
who knows where.

And who knows when your going to land.

is there a net below you?
will it catch you?
or will you hit the ground.

After knowing how much love can hurt
its so easy to be scared.
scared to let go,
scared to hit the bottom.

do you decide to to fly freely,
or keep your only blood pumping possession inside its cage?!

i think i might fly.

My DIY job.






I've transformed those beloved garage sale chairs into perfect sun catching seats.
Awesome floral fabric from spotlight & a quick spraypaint, they are now ready to be enjoyed with a cigarette, magazine & a chilled beer.
ahhhh.

Burleigh Markets


We are poor uni students strapped for cash.
so what do we resort to?





Selling our treasured clothes at the markets.
It was such a fun day, & the biggest success.
Nearly a grand in total between us!

cant wait to do it all over again next month...

skin city.


So i'm booked in for my third skin treatment next week,
Microdermabrasion is the best thing since sliced bread.

I love the feeling of clean, soft & silky skin.
After each treatment i feel fresh & happy to go without makeup.

Soon i'll be looking as flawless as Karlie Kloss;


(ha. if only it were that easy!)

You are blowing my mind.
Like a kitten on speed,
you have me smitten,
yes indeed.

say cheese.


$350 left on my camera.
I'm a poor uni student hence, laybuys are a slow process.

But i'm hanging out for it so bad,
I have too many ideas overloading in my head that need to snapped & captured.

I've decided i want to buy a fish eye lens to,
(just like every other man & his dog.)

Treasure Hunt.


So, its 7am on a Saturday morning.
Its early, but as usual, the sun beat me up.
Its shining bright.

Its 7am on a Saturday morning.
Its early, but i'm feeling good.
I've been to a garage sale!

Oh, now i understand why dad lugs 
'its-&-bits-&-pieces-&-treasures-&-junk-&-things-that-we-dont-need'
home on a Saturday morning.

The thrill of spotting a treasure
(worthy of exerting bargaining energy at 6.30 in the morning)
 is so great.

I found a cute, retro wicker day chair & foot stool.
After a quick DIY job of recovering the cushions in some awesome floral fabrics, these will look great on my balcony.

A new cigarette & magazine posi.
VOILA!

Today...


A comedy of unfortunate events followed me all day.

I begun by rocking up to my 10am lecture one & a half hours late,
with one thong on foot & one thong in my hand.
Why does the plug always seem to break at the most inappropriate of times?

Running late to my next class, 
a bird decided to drop its insides on my freshly washed head of hair.
Why me?
Today?

Whilst drying my rinsed, yet still sticky hair under the bathroom blower,
i proceeded to smash my head on the upwards of the head-flick.

My digital visualisation class was going well,
& i was really making progress with my assessment.
Until,
Bang.
Lights off, computers down.
Unfortunately macs don't do the whole 'recover-in-case-of-power-surge-thing'.
So, there's goes two hours of my life i'll never see again.

And to put the cherry on,
sometime during my disastrous day of unfortunate events,
I must have misplaced my car keys.
So waiting next to my Priscilla in the dark & cold of the night i wasn't the happiest of people.

All in all,
90% bad day.
...but i'm still 10% smiles.

Here's to hoping tomorrow's a better day!

A poem for me.


Katie's kind words:

Her smile in infectious,
she's one of the amazing few.

She believes in no boundaries or limits,
on anything she sets her mind too.

She is in complete control of her destiny.
She is happy and free.

She is beautiful and charming.
Everything I aspire to be.

Kate Moss.


''My mum used to say 'Kate you cant have fun all the time' 
and i used to say 
'Why the Fuck not? Why cant i have fun all the time?''

Come Back.


Can anyone tell me...
Where oh where has Gemma Ward got to?

I remember picking up a 2007 Vogue.
I flicked through it.
Gemma's face appeared again & again.
I thought fuck.
This chick is getting some attention.
Flipped back.
Noticed that this edition was dedicated to Gemma herself.
A whole magazine dedicated to her.
Not just a magazine.
Vogue.

wow-shit.

& yet,
where is she now?
i haven't seen her face around much.
bring her back.
i want Gemma.
