The sun is shining, the weather is sweet...

I woke up this morning still sleepy and so cosy in my bed, my first thought was; if I don't go to course today, the world won't end, right? I decided it wouldn't. I'm so glad I took the day off, the weather is so beautiful and hot. It was exactly what I've needed!
So I went outside and lay in the grass and took photo's of my garden.

A few weeks ago it was Marlborough Anniversary Day. Marlborough is the region I live in in New Zealand. Everyone goes to the A&P Showgrounds and celebrates and drinks wine and lines up for hours at the hotdog line. My boyfriend and I only went to see the fireworks. Pretty!

I just found this photo on my Myspace of myself as a lil chubby kid (I still am a chubby kid, mind you). Whatever you want to call them; bathers, swimsuit, or here in New Zealand...togs - they are CUTE. And I wish I still had them, but about a kazillion sizes bigger so they'd fit me. I was a stylish bub.

All photo's taken by me. And I'm telling you, they took so long to upload it's insane.

She's such a charmer

I haven't posted in so long. I am sorry! I can't believe the amount of comments my last post recieved, especially since I'm only starting out. You are all such an insperation and your words mean so much to me.






So I went shopping yesturday. This is what I got. I'm afraid I couldn't post photo's of me actually wearing them, because I've been very busy. But the shorts are my new favourite summer outfit so I will have plenty more opportunities to take photo's. They roll down too, if you feel your outfit needs longer shorts... I love them!

I am writing to you sitting at work. It has been a very slow Sunday morning. I can see the clouds if I look out the window, they seem to be glowing from the inside out.



I love this picture. Don't you? Credit: http://leloveimage.blogspot.com/

Also, this is the funniest website I've seen in awhile. It's hard to explain it... basically, a food shop here in New Zealand called Murder Burger started up a website. The posts have nothing to do with their food, it's just really funny. http://murderburger.wordpress.com/

Drawing at the top of post by me. Sorry for the bad quality. I don't have a scanner so I have to take photo's of my drawings. It was inspired by Audrey Kawasaki. She's my favourite artist: http://www.audrey-kawasaki.com/. I'm sure if you visit her website she will be yours too!


This is my favourite drawing of hers. It's called Memai. I'm getting it as my first tattoo when I turn 18 next year (Feb 26). I read on a blog once on tips on how to get a tattoo you will never regret. One of the tips was to put your wanted tattoo on the wall above your bed months before you plan on getting it done. So you look at it everyday, and if you get sick of it then it's not the one for you! I have had Memai above my bed for 7 months now. Still lovin' it.

Who is your favourite artist?
