Trilogy was listed as one of i love typography’s favourite fonts of 2009, and with 103 variants it has incredible flexibility. This sample demonstrates some of that fancy flexibility! Shannon Fricke is one of my favourite stylists. I love the way she uses colour and pattern! This cute cardboard bedroom suite was posted on Tumblr,…

Black Milk: Leggings for fancy people
I love Black Milk leggings and I can’t be quiet about it any more. I’m currently getting some custom made leggings from another designer but one day I’m going to get some Black Milk on my legs. Probably when I move to Melbourne and can wear PVC without dying. James, the head designer at Black…
Paper and paisley
I love fiddly things that take hours to finish – it’s almost like a type of meditation for me (the girl who can’t shut her brain up to do actual factual meditation!) Recently I started playing with tiny bits of cut paper because I loved the patterns they formed as well as the meditative aspect.…
My fat role models
I want to take a moment to appreciate and respect some of the fantastic people who have influenced me in the arena of body acceptance. When I started using the internet, it was more than just a mass of information ping-ponging from server to server, it was a means of finding and communicating with people…
Still in holiday mode!
Things are changing this year, and I’ve got to tell you… I always struggle with change. Nick is on long service leave but is still working hard at home with his freelance business. I’m trying to come up with concepts for a few projects but floundering, or errr, still developing them :P This weekend we…

An afternoon at the Asia Pacific Triennial
Zhu Weibing and Ji Wenyu, People holding flowers 2007 Today I spent the afternoon with some friends at the Asia Pacific Triennial at GoMA. It’s one of the most fun and engaging exhibitions but it only happens every three years, so it’s always a must do. Entry is free, making it a lovely and value-packed…
Sweet potato and lentil patties
Today I was in the mood for a bit of a burger but lately I’ve gone off animal meat, so I put the feelers out on the lazyweb (i.e: Twitter!) for a vege patty recipe. Viv supplied me with this sweet potato (or kumara) and lentil patty recipe, and it was so incredible that I…
My Couch to 5k: the beginnening
If you’ve read my blog for a little while, you’ll have learnt that I am pro body acceptance and anti body negativity. Body acceptance, for me, involves honouring one’s body and loving it for what it can do and not treating it too poorly because it doesn’t look like other people’s (amongst other things). Body…
A year of outfits
One of the things that I’m proud of doing last year is taking photos of my outfits. I love talking about fashion, the silly side of it and also the political aspect, so doing regular OOTD photos (and then posts here!) was fantastic because it allowed me to express myself, to share my own styling…
