Uhh i guess i'm not used to having free time... sorry for the multiple updates lately, just don't know what to do with myself since assignments are over and i'm not working much til the wedding & honeymoon are over. Free time is a foreign concept to me. So i'll just blog away for a few days i think.
I'm craving some new additions to my wardrobe! I know these are only chain store cheapies, but my bank account isn't huge and i want all of these:
Can't wait to be in Melbourne to find treasures!!!
This weekend has been tiring for me. And when i get tired, i get irritated over nothing and can't seem to move past it so i can just enjoy myself. Bring on honeymoon and a break and refreshment. 6 sleeps to go.
Today i took a trip back a few years in my life and listened to I'm Wide Awake It's Morning by Bright Eyes.
I'd forgotten how much his words resonate with me, and now inspiring his voice is when it fills my ears.
Conor, i will always love you.
This is the first day of my life Swear I was born right in the doorway I went out in the rain Suddenly everything changed They're spreadin' blankets on the beach Yours is the first face that I saw Think I was blind before I met you I don't know where I amI don't know where I've been But I know where I want to go So I thought I'd let you know That these things take forever I especially am slow But I realized that I need you And I wondered if I could come home I remember the time you drove all night Just to meet me in the morning And I thought it was strange You said everything changed You felt as if you'd just woke up And you said,This is the first day of my life, Glad I didn't die before I met you But now I don't care I could go anywhere with you And I'd probably be happy. So if you wanna be with me With these things there's no telling We'll just have to wait and see But I'd rather be working for a paycheck Than waiting to win the lottery Besides maybe this time it's differentI mean I really think you'll like me...
A friend introduced me to http://www.veganyumyum.com/ and i'm not a vegan, but there are some amazing recipes on there! My favourite is the amazing knitted cup cakes:
I've been enjoying the work of New Zealand artist Kelly Thompson:
Photography by Chadwick Tyler:
And i also recommend some pretty photographs you can find here
New Zealanders we can vote in our own elections this Saturday. If you are eligible to vote, then DO IT! NO EXCUSE! Every vote counts.
And moving on.... (i actually love politics but that's not what this blog is about, hence why my strong opinions are missing)
My friend introduced me to Florence Broadhurst, an Australian designer who did a lot of work with patterns and wall paper design. She was murdered and there's some mystery surrounding what really went down. But i was looking at a book about her work, and some of it is a bit too retro for me, but some of it is really beautiful!
Like this japansese design:
This pretty floral:
Horses!
And pretty birds:
I guess i just can't get interior design off the brain.
Well, really anything to do with houses. Everytime i hear anything about curtains or paint or furniture or pots and pans, my ears prick up. I am so ready to set up our home and be a little hermit for awhile.
The last 6 or so months i've been saving pictures to my computer for interior design inspiration. We start setting up our new house next week and i'm more than ready to start making it as pretty as some of these ones:
(By the way, i don't have the links to credit all these photos. I think they're mostly James Merrel and Roland Bello, but there might be some from fellow bloggers too. If you see a picture on here that you took, let me know and i'll credit you)
