push it.

pushmataaha skull bracelet, Tiffany & Co mesh ring, manicure by The Nail Lab

When I was young the friendship bracelet movement was in it's prime. Yards of coloured string, days spent braiding cotton together, all to make individual tokens for each other, the meaning behind each bracelet was priceless. These bracelets stood for belonging, a constant reminder that you weren't alone in this crazy world, having that visual connection to our group of friends became a big part of growing up.  As time moved on the friendship bracelet turned into the friendship necklace, watch, mood ring and anything we could find doubles of. Fast forward 15 years my child-hood best friend and I found ourselves both living in Sydney, worlds away from the school yard. She is like a sister, and having her around the corner while we both dealt with the challenges of living away from everyone we knew made everything so much better. Recently she packed up her life in Sydney to go back to Adelaide, but not before presenting me with a ribbon wrapped box containing a token that will forever join us. 

We aren't 7 years old anymore, but I never take off my Pushmaahataa skull bracelet and never does she.

The pedal to whatever

a combination... a platter of things that I use every single day to get my through the daily grind. 

Why? Because you should all know/have these things, or at least own things you love

enough to write an entire blog post about. 

I took these photos in my bedroom with a $5 lamp I bought from Kmart and a whole lot 

of reflex a4 paper, I never realised the work that goes into flat lay.

1. I've moved down a size.
Deciding that I don't need to 
tote around carry-on luggage
sized bags my 3.1 Phillip Lim 
31 Minute clutch is by my side 
daily. From being thrown in my
bike basket to black tie dinners
carrying the essentials has never
been so streamlined and easy. 
Downgrading is the new black.

2. a very wise woman once

told me about this miracle 

cream. I fly often and it's my

skins saving grace against

the elements. It's apart of my

daily regime and the best 

hand cream that you will 

ever use.

3. I'm just gum obsessed, 

I have the worst habit of 

finishing a packet of gum

before the traffic lights turn 

green. At least with Vitamin

Gum I'm taking my vitamins 

andgetting rid of my coffee 

breathe. right? 

4. Do you take the time out

to read? You should, it's 

escapism at it's best. Currently

I'm all about powerful women

taking over the world. The

Widow Clicquot is ticking

all the boxes. 

5. Do you have a pen? No, 

but I do have a Sharpie. 

Ask anyone, no matter where

I am or what I'm doing I always 

am equipped with a Sharpie or 3, 

mainly because of my latest 

endeavour The Writing and 

mainly because nothing beats

a thick black type. 

6. Up until recently I relied
heavily on taxis to get me 
to work etc, then I had an 
epiphany, all this money I'm
wasting on cabs that I could
put towards more long lasting 
pleasures. My Tokyo bike has 
since become my best friend.
I have the Bisou step through
in white, and I love her dearly.
It takes a tough one to get you
and down the slopes of Surry 
Hills and I've mastered the art
of riding in a Josh Goot tulip 
skirt and heels quite well, if
I must say so myself.  

7. I searched far and wide

for my Dita Vesouls, they

are the perfect mix of cat

and tort and they hide a 

multitude of previous 

night sins, my unmascared 

eyes and my true emotions

from the world. The perfect

mix of cat eye and tort. An 

old lady at the cafe yesterday 

told me they make me look 

like a movie star, that's all I

needed to hear.

8. The best thing I've bought 
this year is my Commes Des
Garcons pouch. How do I 
name thy ways I love thee?
The perfect size, the perfect 
black and the embossed dots
fit well when I feel I need a little
a touch of kooky misdemeanour.
You'll catch me pounding the 
pavement through Potts Point
with my CDG on a weeknight,
or taking tequila shots at Tios 
Cerveceria on the weekend. Or
you'll probably see it in the 
background of most instagram
shots I take, because it's just so
goddamn classy. It just works, 
and it works it well.
