This Is Not A Dream

The images above are images I've taken over the course of three years that I absolutely adore but have never posted. 

And here's a link to a Spotify playlist I've put together full of tunes that remind me of hazy, slow, evenings. (I will add to this playlist as I discover new tunes)

Hi everyone!

School camp, and the start of the school holidays have happened since the last time I've posted here. This year's camp was focused on study skills, so we sat through a few seminars on how to study smarter which were, in my opinion, quite motivating and helpful! We had quite a bit of free time between seminars to hang around in our/friends' cabins, which turned into bonding sessions involving hair braiding, DnM's, a mini photoshoot on the basketball/tennis court, and stuffing our faces with the junk food we'd brought along in our suitcases. It was our last school camp and it definitely ended on a high note!

The school holidays so far have been pretty swell. I've gotten through a whole season of Orange is the New Black and somehow been productive in between episodes. I'm very deeply and shamelessly in love with Ruby Rose (I mean have you SEEN her DJ? So precious) but that's a topic for another day (spoiler alert: read below)

I haven't updated my Youtube in a while but I'm thinking of filming a video soon so stay tuned.

Hey all!

I first started using my DSLR camera in 2012 to take generic tourist-type pictures and the occasional outfit of the day shoot, and I've only just recently started to use my camera to capture more ephemeral moments. Don't get me wrong, I love shooting my OOTD posts but they don't have any intense emotion behind it. The pictures above were all taken yesterday after we went and saw the VIVID Light Festival in the city. We caught trains to and from our destination points, and even though I'm a CityRail regular, I found the train journeys quite soothing, and incredibly pretty. We ended up roaming around a small and eerily quiet suburb looking for a place to eat dinner (it was around 10pm), and then at around 10:45pm, it was decided upon that dessert was a good idea, so we ate a mountain of mango crushed coconut ice (I have no idea what it was called but those were the ingredients) even though it was around 10 degrees Celsius out (it was quite snug at our corner table though).

I tried to capture emotions and simple, delicate moments, and I'm content with how it turned out to be.

Run Into the Ocean Instead X Rokali Designs

NECKLACE - ROKALI DESIGNS, SHIRT - THRIFTED, OVERALLS - JAY JAYS

Heya everybody!

I'm collaborating with Rokali Designs for this fun and quick post. Rokali Designs are an Australian label hand-making and selling jewelry. Self proclaimed lovers of colour and chasers of fun (which I can 100% agree upon), they incorporate a variety of textures into their jewelry- pom poms and painted geometric wooden beads being some of them. 

My necklace is a little hand painted wonder that I love wearing about. It's lightweight and incredibly aesthetically appealing with it's pastel palette. 

You can check out their stock at hey-stella.com

Coming soon will be a post about what happened on the day of my friend and I's combined birthday party (pssst! includes: 3 hour jam sesh, green tea icecream, meeting one of my favourite bands). Unfortunately the post will be lacking in pictures as I am usually the photographer in my group of friends and I decided not to bring a camera.

I Want To Believe X Pixie Tree

Hi everyone!

For this post, I was able to collaborate with the lovely girls at Pixie Tree! I'm wearing their limited edition 'I Want To Believe' bronze alien choker (which you can also get as a necklace). The chokers come on an adjustable chord to suit your neck size and how short/long you want the choker to be. The chokers are 30cm long rubber cords (with an adjutable chain), and the necklaces are 45cm long wax cords.
You can check out their full collection on their website - pixietree.bigcartel.com. If you have Instagram, I encourage you to follow them on their Instagram so you can keep up with their updates (new stock, sales, limited editions, etc.)

Soooo, I turned 16 around a week ago! I had honestly lost next to all the excitement I used to feel as a kid, about birthdays, but this year it was different. I was definitely pumped for my birthday! Although I haven't ~officially celebrated with my friends yet (I'm having a joint party with one of my best friends next week aahh!!!), I had a small celebration with my family. (They didn't really get me a present this year but oddly enough, they let me buy 3 pots of cacti in the space of two days??) I'm definitely looking forward to living up to the big 1-6 (I admit- Hollywood's depiction of the ultimate 16 year old sweetheart does have a little bit of an influence over me, but I guess this is a good thing in my case).

P.S Hey pals from school! You may  have noticed a little something in these photos. I was pretty skeptical about wearing it at first, but trust me; if you have one, wear it out. It actually looks pretty cute!

Numinous

numinous:

(adj)

an experience that makes you feel fearful yet fascinated, awed yet attracted- the powerful personal feeling of being overwhelmed and inspired

"Be careful, you are not in Wonderland. I've heard the strange madness long growing in your soul. But you are fortunate in your ignorance, in your isolation. You who have suffered, find where love hides. Give, share, lose - lest we die unbloomed."
