I was surprised and stoked to hear I’d been nominated in this year’s Cosmopolitan Fun Fearless Female Awards in the Blogger category. What? Me! I’m just a lady who takes photos and draws and writes about stuff, and I honestly didn’t think there would be any recognition in future for me when I registered this…

Stitch and Twitch: Social anxiety and public crafting.
Over the last few months I’ve been coming to terms with learning something new about myself. I’ve been dealing with generalised anxiety and depression for many years but a few months ago I found out I was also suffering with social anxiety. I’ve never been into partying a lot (well, besides my early 20s and…
Pizza partying.
Last night I attended a pizza party at Vespa for a dear friend’s 30th birthday! Super exciting! But more exciting than pizza were the crispy polenta pieces. SO good, if you are near a Vespa Pizza you need to try them. I bought this dress from Yours Clothing a few weeks ago because I’ve wanted…
With chronic bitchface.
What are friends for if they won’t pose in silly photos with you? Zoe and I decided to do an impromptu photo shoot showing off our incredible modeling skills. I suggested to Nick that he mimic skeezebag Terry Richardson’s style of photo taking but he was very uncomfortable with that considering that Richardson is awful…
Stretching my batwings.
Two things! Two posts in one day means you’re very special and I suck at being a Proper Blogger who metes out content by scheduling posts; and yes I’m wearing a lot of black lately. It’s just how I’m feeling at this time of doubt, uncertainty and frustration. This tunic has sheer purple wings that…
Zombie apocalypse manicure.
I like painting my nails. It’s one thing I find I can do when I really need to practice some self care (that is looking after myself because I am human, not just looking after myself to practice femininity) and lately I’ve been getting into doing fun things with my nails. Nothing too difficult, just…
Back in black with strong brows.
Last night I went to Nick’s Dad and aunt’s 60th birthday party. They are twins, and after learning of all the twins in Nick’s family I am even more unsure of having kids. It’s a big job just having one kid at a time, eep. But yes, I wore clothes and got Nick to document…
Puppies and brollies.
This is actually what I wore yesterday but I discovered my site had been hacked so Nick spent hours figuring out how to unhack it and today I’ve been trying to have a nice relaxing Sunday. So here we are, a late ootd :D I’m sorry for any weird business with the blog over the…
PRESALE time! Order a fat necklace this week.
YES THAT IS RIGHT! You can pre-order a fat necklace this week. I know I’m a month behind on this but I just haven’t been able to organise everything properly but now is the time to unleash the fat necklaces again in red, black, pink and white as well as purple hologram and gold mirror.…
Purple and blue for a windy day.
While the more in-depth content is a bit light at the moment, please enjoy another outfit photo. This dress is the one I bought from Torrid the other month, snapped up while it was on sale! Torrid’s shipping to Australia is disturbingly and consistently expensive so I was glad to go in on a group…
