Pressed Juices


On my last day in Melbourne, I really felt like I needed a bit of health kick and I wanted to start my day off right. I had walked past this cool looking juice store a couple of times over on Collins Street, so first thing in the morning I made a beeline for the Pressed Juices store.

MET GALA FASHION BREAKDOWN


So, I've been gloriously glued to the screen every year when May brings with it the less exciting colder weather, and the far more mesmerizing Metropolitan Museum of Art Gala, which launches the carefully curated exhibition to be on show for the next few months of the year. A myriad of celebrities show up (those that can afford the steep ticket price) and all eyes are on WHO and WHAT they are wearing, expecting to have followed a costume theme synonymous with the exhibition..

Notes & Explanations

The faint sound of a saxophone began to trickle down the lane, up over the balcony and in through the double glazing. Just as it was gathering momentum, the rain suddenly dumped itself upon the music and surrounding city.
I'm sitting here curled up on the sofa in my Aunts living room, in her apartment that backs onto the Bennett's Lane Jazz Club. It's a lovely snug feeling to be cocooned within a cold wet late April night in the heart of Melbournes CBD. I'm supposed to be writing a 2000 word essay on Audience Reception Analysis due tomorrow at 3pm, but found my aural surroundings to be quite poetic and felt the sudden urge to write about them. I'm also desperate to at least have something, I can physically show, come out of my lengthy hours of procrastination.

I believe spending 9 days in Melbourne could be a good time to re-start this blog. The blog I created at the height of the blogosphere boom and have been wanting to somehow re-instate of late.
So here we go.
I was required to start a blog for my Camera Class in my Film & Television degree this year, and after basically attempting to extricate myself from ever actually having to get started and therefore completing zero homework tasks for 5 weeks, (phew!), once I eventually got started I kinda couldn't stop.
All these ideas for blog posts started rushing in, every time I watched a movie I wanted to write about it on the blog, even though that wasn't really what it was for, and even other ideas that weren't even to do with Film at all like deciding where really was the best brunch spot?! So my aural sparked epiphany was to damn well take this blog, and do it!

Great, now that i've got all that off my chest I might take my makeup off, and continue my current (rather exciting) twitter conversation with British Director Carol Morley regarding her latest film The Falling and the subject of mass hysteria.


I do hope we will meet again!

Seeing Paisley


So nearly everywhere i'm looking i'm seeing prints prints prints! Which is great, because I love them and they are rather springy so it's fitting that they should be featuring in the past weeks collections. Paisley in particular has made a comeback, this of which I have chatted to  a few friends about and the responses have been mixed, personally I think Paisley is pretty.

At the forefront of the Paisley comeback is Etro, Stella McCartney, Issa, Topman, Jil Sander, Karen Walker, APC, Jonathan Saunders and J.W. Anderson with Gucci and Alexander McQueen throwing Paisley into scarves.
Floral made appearances at Elizabeth & James, Dolce & Gabbana, Alexander Wang, Christopher Kane, Erdem and Vionnet and printed swimwear was big with Matthew Williamson (love the butterfly print one piece).

Happy Paisley X
