A little madness in the Spring / Is wholesome even for the King.
Emily Dickinson
Today was the first really hot day of Spring.
You can always tell when spring is in action and summer is just around the corner, when you wear thongs and your feet get a thong tan.
I am a big fan of the summer months.
I feel as though everyone is much happier. The days are longer and warmer and filled with beautiful rays of UV sunshine!!!
September is not only the first month of spring, but it is also the month of my family’s birthdays. My Mother is today, my sister is tomorrow, and my dad is the day after and I am on the 20th.
Indeed, September is an expensive month for my family and I.
I used to get sad on my birthday, as I would get so excited that the day is coming and get such high expectation that when the day did come I was often disappointed. But as the years pass and with age, Birthdays seem less and less meaningful and become just another day.
However, with the birthday season comes lots of birthday parties and celebrations!!!
Bring on the birthday cake I say!
Hope is a waking dream – Aristotle
I had one of those days when everything seems to go wrong today.
Woke up late. Missed the buss. left my keys at home.
I called my best friend and she told me to listen to this song.
Today has been ok by Emiliana Torrini.
and i had one of those moments
where everything falls back into perspective
and the day was ok.
“Today Has Been OK”
Friends tell me it’s spring
My window show the same
Without you here the seasons pass me by
I know you were not new
That loved like me and you
All the same I miss you
Today has been ok
Today has been ok
The preacher lost his son
He’s known by all in town
He found him with another son of God
Feeding on the prayer
Nevermind what God said
But love had lost its cause
And I thought today had been ok
Today has been ok
Today has been ok
Wind has burned your skin
The lovely air so thin
The salty water’s underneath your feet
No one’s gone in vain
Here is where you’ll stay
‘Cause life has been insane but
Today has been ok
Today has been ok
Today has been ok
Today has been ok
As a creative person, I must confess that i do love my fashion.
I love the different patterns, styles, cuts and fabrics and the way that designers can mold these fabrics to fit the beautiful female and male form.
For this reason, I am always looking out for new designers that arouse my interest and today I found one. Her name is Genevieve Er and she is a local Sydney based designer.
Her latest collection, ‘She dreams in fables’ is youthful, innovative and fun… and best of all the collection is actually affordable! The way clothes should be.

3. Excess
Like all creatives I have an extreme side to me.
I call it passion, love and drive but my close friends and family call it EXCESS!
In a nutshell, When i do something, I do it to the fullest, extreme and and to the limits!
This is not the best personality trait but it is one my friends have learned to love.
That is why i am at home on a Monday morning still recovering from the Weekend!
But I do not see this as a bad thing, All great artists and creatives have an extreme side.
As long as I don’t chop my ear off like Van Gogh, I believe I am heading in the correct direction.
On that note, Here is my favourite artwork By Van Gogh to inspire you all -Cafe terrace at night
