2.11 Randoms

I've have had a very busy week, too busy for my liking really and 

I can see that the rest of the month is going to be very much of the same. 

And this is all just due to my day job!

So I'm tired, just want to sleep, rest and relax! 

But I can't see that happening for at least another 2 months.

That's my inspiration for today's random post.

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

 

Hope you all have a beautiful weekend

Putting the dream together ...

Ok, so it's finally time I can start share to something with you all.

I just can't reveal everything right now but I promise I will very shortly.

As I mentioned a few weeks back I was going to be heading overseas. 

Well sadly that didn't happen, long story but at the end of the day things just change!

So I decided to take the money saved and the time I had to start an idea

I have wanted to do for over a year now. 

I am going to start my own business!

It's very exciting for me but has (still is) taking a lot of planning as I want to do this right. 

I've always wanted to have my own business for so many reasons but the main reason 

to put it simply is to live my life on my terms.

 I am under no illusions that it will be easy, I know it's going to be hard and a lot of work. 

But I say bring it on, I'm ready!

So I have been spending my days planning, researching, buying, learning, writing,

 taking photo's, being creative, putting together financials, emailing, organising, making decisions,

 being inspired and most importantly - enjoying way more than I thought I could. 

My motto is you never know until you try and there's lot's a different ways to try.

I am bursting at the seams to tell you all in detail as to what I have been working so hard on.

Stay tuned as all shall be shared in the next couple of weeks.

Space of the week ...

 

How adorable is this workspace. 

Still working from home but having that extra (external) space

is such a great idea. 

Little rustic but cosy.

Just so sweet.

Catching Up

Apologies I have been M.I.A of late. 

I've been in Sydney for work this week.

It's always a really tight schedule when I go but I got to at least spend 

one day with a couple of girlfriends, which was so great to catch up with them.

After having yum cha for Sunday lunch we headed down to Bondi to see the 

Sculpture By The Sea which was kind of cool and something a bit different. 

Maurizio Perron - Paper Boats

Subodh Kerkar - The Chilly  (in the distance)

Paul Trefry - Knot Standing

Cave Urban - Mengenang (Memory)

Rachel Couper & Ivana Kuzmanovska - Mirador

 

Tae-Guen Yang - I Am So Sorry

Then it was straight into work and work dinners from Monday through to Wednesday,

 which fortunately was also very lovely. Oh and just a little bit of shopping sshh ...

So I shared this via my instagram

Over the bridge we go ...

Beautiful dinner at a private home, so lovely and great food

Heading up to  the Gowings Bar and Grill at the QT hotel

 

 

My new shoes, too cute and I ♥ them

I have realised though that the 3 hour time difference between Perth and Sydney 

is quite challenging for me to jump into 3 days of work, I must be getting old!

A Fashionable Wednesday - Olivia & Johannes

I don't think it would be possible that Olivia Palermo and her boyfriend, model Johannes Huebel 

could be anymore stylish than they already are! 

Seriously, they look like their lives are part of an endless magazine editorial ...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Blog Crushes

I have been a been really enjoying these 2 blogs of late. 

Whilst they are quite similar in many respects they are also both individual. 

The first one is  

Nat The Fat Rat

 

I first came across Nat by this image of her at the ALT Summit 

which has been shared all over blogs and Pinterest (super stylish)

Very well written, Nat takes us on her journey of her life and work in New York

with her husband Brandon and their simply gorgeous little boy Henry, also known as Huck.

She captures her life in beautiful images and at times posts really cute little video's of Huck.

 

 

The next one is  

Rockstar Diaries

 written by Taza.

Having just relocated from Washington, DC back to New York with her husband Josh, two adorable children Eleanor and Samson and their English Bulldog, Kingsley we are given insight to a young family life through images of family, food, fashion, interiors, shoppping, streets ... 

Do you find over the years that you become attracted to different styles of blogs? 

Can certain blogs you like to read (consistently) tell you something about your own life? 

I'm kind of thinking that with these two beautiful blogs.

I thank both ladies for sharing their lives with us.
