A bit of online shopping!

I was a feeling a little bit tired all day yesterday - so i spent most of my day online and whinging that I was sore and tired to myself and to Jonathan when he got home from work. I treated myself to a little online shopping as a congratulations present for booking a big job this week. Here is what I got.

East of Grey

You would have all seen me mention my friend Kim's label, East of Grey before. Three weeks ago a local paper here did a little interview with her! I was so stoked for her when I saw this. Kim is AMAZING at what she does. And I want to show everyone, just how rad she is. So here is the full interview! Enjoy.

I am so tired after yesterday's shoot - I slept in til 12pm and now all I am doing is eating, reading blogs and about to post off orders and then maybe get a coffee.

Have a happy hump day.

The photos featured are from her "The Regulators" collection - which I modeled for her, alongside Kirsty Macleod.

Westfield style session






It's been all work and no play for me this weekend! Yesterday I was in Brisbane all day working with Westfield on a little style session. We modeled three on-trend looks that you are probably well aware of: nautical, white, snake skin and for next month we showcased some race wear trends.

It was lots of fun and a very colourful day. However, all colour was lost on the way home. The weather turned into this terrifying storm. It a mixture between Mordor and the end of the world. When you're traveling alone and it's pitch black at 4:20pm trust me it's terrifying!

I never take my camera to things like this as I am always scared I'll loose it - or someone might get their paws on it, as our bags are always left haphazardly all over the place. I need one I can just chuck in my bag! Those Canon G12's look pretty cool for that. But I have no idea how they are as a camera.

So, here are a couple of photos from my iphone! I guess some badly quality instagram is better than none. I have been looking at getting an iphone 4S - and I think I just may get one over the next week. I think it's time for an update.

On another note: We were busy all day shooting a collection for an amazing Australian label - I can't show you unfortunately...So hang tight until January! But trust me - the images look amazing! I can't wait to show you!

Anyway guys, I hope you had a wicked weekend. I.AM.EXHAUSTED.

Place Unknown Pleasures has been seen recently


1. The Wonderland PR Agency blog

2. SL and ST


3.WIKIFASHION

It's always fun being featured on blogs you follow or sites you visit regularly or even on sites that you hadn't read before! It's nice to be recognised for what you do and get the reassurance that you're doing it properly.

When I began Unknown Pleasures I didn't really think anyone other than a few close friends and family would look at what I liked or read what I had to say - so it is extremely flattering to be showcased on other blogs etc

2. Sweet Lime and Spieced Tea Blog

A massive thank you and big hug for the features, Ally XX

D&G Shades

If you have been reading my blog regularly over the past year or so - you'd know by now how much I obsess over a)Sunglasses b)nail polish c) shoes.

I have my favourite sunglasses - but I didn't have any black until today! Most of mine are metal or nude. But now I am so excited to have some black shades join the party.

I'll let you in on a little secret where I got them from...A rad site which offers insane discounts on their stock. Shadesdaddy, stocks so many rad brands, and when I was picking my new sunnies out I fell in love with about 20 other pairs - but that's just my obsession coming out to play.

I am wearing

Dolce and Gabbana Sunglasses

Shawl made by my mum - On'ya mummsie

Now I am off to the gym - I have a recall for a casting i went to this week and I have to look my best! Wish me luck!

Shoes: Ebay

Dress: Opening Ceremony

Watch: Nixon

Cuff: Eddie Borgo Cuff

Bag: Celine



For some reason today decided to be an absolute biatch and get me in a mood from about 11am. It was a shame, really. I got all my errands completed and was so psyched about that. But all it took was one person to get me off guard and my mood went spiraling down - That's enough venting. I'm not normally easily annoyed, but I guess tiredness and stress got the better of me!

Now I am showered, hair washed, vino in hand and browsing an abundance of online stores while trying not to enter credit cards details and "accidentally" pressing the confirmed button. I look forward to Wednesday being over and starting FRESH tomorrow!!

Tom O'hern


Introducing Tom O'hern - Artist, extraordinaire. Tom O'hern is known for his use of ink on paper. I posted about him on the WE ARE HANDSOME BLOG just after we got back from our road trip, but don't know if all my readers look at their blog, so I thought I would post it on here.

Tom Ohern's work is amazing. His fine detailing and intricate line work make his work so captivating. His line work is intense - it must take him hours to complete a single piece!

I want to purchase 6 pieces of his work and display them in a horizontal line - as that was how they were displayed around The Rocks in Sydney and it looked incredible.

If you’re in Sydney go and check out the Primavera exhibition – it runs until the 13th of November
