Update 1: Shoot & Sculptures by the Sea.

So, it's been a while since I last posted.

I'm close to graduating from TAFE now and I am finding some time for old hobbies which will hopefully restore some of the life I lost over the course of my Diploma.

I hope to document my work here.

Here are some photos I took on a recent trip to capture Sculptures by the Sea over a course of two days.

Day 1:

I went to watch the sunrise at the headlands with the boys. To our dismay there was a thick cloud on the horizon that blocked most of the sunrise, although we did catch one tiny sliver of sun.

After this we went to catch breakfast at a nice organic cafe down near Centennial Park. I decided to be more adventurous than usual and chose a desert like breakfast which I throughly enjoyed.

Finding a park close to the Sculptures proved to be quite difficult so we opted for a spot further away and had fun peering into little boutiques on the way to and from the coastal walk.

There was a thick fog hanging around all morning which made for an interesting touch to all the photos we took. It didn't rain so I was quite happy that day.

If you have I-nigma, you should check out this band.

Day 2:

Went to Sculptures by the Sea again with the girls after a day of vintage shopping and pub lunches in Surry Hills.

This time it wasn't that foggy but we did get caught in the rain.

And after all those photos I was sitting on 1%.

I also did a shoot a while back with Gilbert Rossi.

And that concludes the first of many updates to come.

More hair porn.

For the time being...

Inspiration Spam.

Because I am absolutely loving the pin up girl look at the moment.

Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer RTW 2011

Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer RTW 2011


The Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2011 range designed by Marc Jacobs seemed to be a mix of elements from the 20's and 70's. The colour palette used consisted mostly of bright jewel colours and was paired back with muted earthy tones. Fabrics used ranged from stretch knits, leather, satin, a metallic lace, jersey, an extremely shiny fabric that wasn't lame and possibly some chiffon.


The silhouettes of the garments appeared to be inspired by the 20's and 70's with lowered waist/hip lines appearing, fringing from the 20's and 70's, collars inspired by the 70's nehru jackets and mandarin collars and coats inspired by the 70's shift dress look.


"It's Shiny" as quoted by Marc Jacobs himself pretty much describes the texture and colours perfectly with glittering jewel tones highlighting the sheen of the fabrics, whilst muted earthy tones were used to pair back the "shiny". Texture came in the form of sequinned belts, glittering fringing and extra texture was created from the use of knits and laces.


The use of line was consistent with bold outlines appearing on dresses and different coloured bindings on tops.
The collection also featured alot of animal prints in bright colours.


Overall, I liked this collection because of the use of colours which I feel made outfits 'pop' without being too much with the glitter. I really like the crisp clean lines used throughout the collection which seemed to also keep colours tied together and also the fringing used to create shapes and textural detail on the dress.

Good Advice.

Today my Dad suddenly turned to me and said, "Jess, why can't you just get a job at Quarantine? Just work there until you have a huge superannuation, and you will be able to see the world."

Why couldn't I?
Travelling the world is my grandest dream.
So, I think I might just do that.
BUT, i'm still going to finish this course first and see where it goes.
