Hey, I’m back. I wasn’t planning on being back so quickly but I just couldn’t stay away.
I just took these photos. The first one is some illustrations I’ve been doing with watercolor and the DVD’s I’ve been obsessed with. “The Day Before – Loic Prigent”. They’re so good. It’s basically the 36 hours before a fashion show for particular designers. I think I’ve almost watched them all.
The second photo is some beautiful fabrics I bought at “The Fabric Store”.
And the third is the new Gorman a/w 13 look book. I like Gorman’s prints, they also have really comfortable shoes. My faves from the lookbook are the; Ellie malin + gorman collage landscape pant and the unique new york dress.

A collection of images I collected from my tumblr feed. Not my images. I just like them.

clickety scribble
when i decided to post about the new book i bought i didn’t expect the title to be clickety scribble. the inbuilt dictionary on this wordpress is telling me that clickety isn’t a real word. but that’s the only way i can explain it.
i bought ‘the scribble diary’ – my brain right now by lisa currie at dymocks yesterday. i have an obsession with notebooks, journals, stationery and writing. i’ve already started using this one and i have decided it will be my daily journal until i’ve used up all the pages. i love it especially because it kind of prompts you on what to write about, even though i always seem to twist into into what i really want to write about, only it comes out in a different way which i think is super cool.
the other cool thing is that the author/creator, lisa currie, is from melbourne. so cool. and the other so super cool thing is that once you try to find out more about lisa currie you just find out more and more about so many other super cool things. i started clicking and clicking and reading and clicking about an hour ago and there are still so many more things to look at…
heres a list of some of the things i’ve clicked to:
see what i’m saying? and these aren’t all of them! i could keep clicking all day.
uninvited frogs here to stay
Z I N E S ( P R O N O U N C E D L I K E M A G A – Z I N E )
It always surprises me when I start talking about Zines and the person I’m talking to has never heard of Zines. I’m surprised because to me they’re just so interesting. They can be really creative and also very simple. They are often very random and to me that’s what makes them so interesting. Everyone should know about them!
It’s basically a self produced publication. Anyone can make a Zine. Its typically in a small booklet form. It can be handwritten, typed, photocopied, pasted, printed or whatever other way you can think of. It can be about anything. You can put in drawings, photos or writing, whatever you want to share.
I found out about them when I first moved to Melbourne. I came across Sticky Institute at Flinders Street Station on my way home from work one day. And I’ve been wanting to submit my own Zine ever since. (Any one can make a Zine. Yes, even you can.) I’ve actually started making mine today, I think I’m calling it “Uninvited Frogs Here To Stay”. I’ll let you know more about it when I’m done (it’s currently in development/production stages).
There was a cool exhibition on street art in Melbourne some time last year and Zines were a part of it. You can see my photos from the exhibit right HERE.
