Had a little play with a Canon 7D for the day, we walked around the city looking for Laneways by George and instead we found random installations.. am not sure what we saw but it wasn’t what we expected, and it wasn’t any good. We abandoned it after the third laneway, and went to eat instead.
Here are some pictures I took of downtown Sydney – the new Sportsgirl on Pitt St Mall, Aesop and The Strand Arcade. I think I need to upgrade my G11 really soon. I know, it hasn’t even been a year yet! I still have a very long way to go in terms of picking up photography, I studied it in college for a semester and still couldn’t tell you what an f-stop is, haha. To me it’s fiddling with a bunch of dials until the photo looks right on screen – thank heavens for digital cameras – I just really enjoy messing around with it.
Unsurprisingly, food looks better too.. yum!
Am really excited about a new online store discovery today – Sereni & Shentel – that I found via Zen’s blog. They’ve been around for a while, and I really wish I’d known about them sooner!
If I had to pick a favourite it’d be this one:
Bow Down Red
Love the nod to the Malaysian origins of this brand:
Kuching Cat Turquoise
For US$40 you can customise your own version of their cute Blair bands, which I assume is named after the notorious Gossip Girl!
Custom Blair
First, pick your base grosgrain ribbon colour, then these gems:
Best part is, they ship to Australia!

Experiments with radius distribution – I love these colours! They are what I’d imagine Summer to look like – but not right now as this week’s been wet and cold.

My Soak Republic package has finally arrived after some drama with the post office. Apparently it was sent back to Malaysia to be declared, and as a result took a whole month to get to me.. but the wait was worth it! I am now a happy owner of this adorable paper crane necklace.. and it actually looks better in real life!
They have plenty of cute things if you have time to browse, site navigation is a little messy and there isn’t an automated checkout system so you’ll have to email for a quote but it’s all legit! I’m not usually a fan of blog shops, but this one has great photographs and with a little patience there are some great deals at really good prices.

Two parts inspiring, one part feeling like I shouldn’t be looking at these intimate details of other people’s homes.. not in broad daylight and certainly not on a big computer screen..
This is all time favourite Selby shoot – the home of NY consultant/entrepreneur extraordinaire Cindy Gallop. LOVE!
