the neverland project

Being interested in design, passionate and often overwhelmed by it means that inspiration in essential. I love being inspired as well as sourcing inspiration for projects and my own designer-ly ventures. Having a creative space amongst all of the constraints that I face like brief deadlines, economic barriers and good ol' creative block is actually really difficult, which is why I have decided to give myself a project that involves none of these but all of the rewards. I want to create a neverland space that has twinkling stars, bell jars, books, terrariums, found items and lost things. This will be my inspiration and my work.

First comes my one true love for imagination and inspiration - Pan.

Euro trippin









































I had the most amazing time overseas (two summers this year!) Italy, Hungary and Berlin - amazing design. So nice to be wandering through so much culture and history, and the colours and details in everyday lives take my breath away. Planning to be back soon!

back to basics

Not looking forward to being back at university but what an amazing holiday! Italy, Hungary, and Germany (just for a few days) hot summer days, ice cream and bursts of colour. Consolidating photos is  taking much longer than expected but soon to be my pride and joys hanging off my wall and up here.

Despite dreading getting back to the basic routine of winter, public transport and stacks of assignments there is one thing that has lessened the load, the new kikki K range! I am absolutely loving the canvas collection as part of the basics collection pencil case, laptop bag and sweet note book - the pencil case is perfection and even as a cosmetics bag, love.

olsen the third



I simply cannot put enough emphasis on how quickly Elizabeth Olsen, 23, has become one of 2012's it girls. It was mere months ago searching for her face online and few results were provided, now with both film and fashion under her belt she is being shot-gunned by all the big names. Personally invited by Karl Lagerfeld to sit front row for his Chanel show in 2012 Paris Couture Fashion Week - can only be seen as the clearest indication of A-list arrival.
