Daily Outfit: Dark Art

The Art Gallery of South Australia is doing pretty great things at the moment, we all agree?

After watching some music in Elder Hall a little while ago, my friend and I took advantage of daylight savings to do a little photoshoot with this installation out the front of the gallery. The exhibition itself was curious...

Yes, I do have a bluebird in my hair. What of it?

The importance of hair(cuts)

I grew my hair over December and January to keep me warm during a chilly European winter.

Now that I've been back two weeks, it is high time for a new chop!

I took these pictures last time I had my hair cut - look how much happier I am?!

Daily Outfit: Otherwise

I also wanted to share that I don't only wear red....

Here are some more work looks.

I haven't seen this brilliant cat around lately, and I'm a bit sad about that.

It's salmon, ok?

Do you have a signature colour?

Hello amongst the tumbleweeds!

Um, hi?


It feels weird posting on here after a year of tumbleweeds. 23 posts in 2014. Not so flash, hey?

That's not to say I didn't do anything of note last year.

  • Trips interstate, Thailand, Turkey, Singapore, France and Luxembourg
  • Moved into a house by myself
  • Navigated a year teaching French and physics at a brand new school
Just hanging in Turkey in July. Wow! What an adventure!


  • Dated (and am still with!) a lovely man
  • Adopted a cat (not officially...)
  • Read 26 books for my Goodreads challenge

I am hoping 2015 will be even more mega! January is surely the month for planning and goal-setting...
Welcome back!

Daily Outfit: My friend Minnie

Some of the time (ok, a lot of the time), I like to channel a bit of Disney fever and dress Minnie style.

Who doesn't like the colour red and big, bold polka dots?

It's my standby when I'm too wiped to come up with a new outfit for work.

Thanks Minnie!

Daily Outfit: Kangaroo Island

Oh hi!

I went on school camp to Kangaroo Island in March (perhaps?)

I hadn't explored much before and I loved it!

Daily Outfit: Working 8-6

New job means dressing professional again! No more swanning around the world with a backpack, handwashing my delicates and borrowing clothes.

(Obviously I started work back in January/February. Told you the blogging thing was overdue!)

Cat friend to the rescue!


Which look is your favourite? So much red!

Daily Outfit: An Aussie Summer

Pre spontaneous jaunt to Thailand, the Viking visited for a few weeks and we did all the tourist things. It was the best!

Melbourne "summer" in Federation Square.


I loved the helicopter flight over the "12" Apostles - the whole touring of Great Ocean Road was magnificent! We also saw the Boxing Day test in Melbourne, stayed at the Grand Hyatt on Collins st, went to Moonlight Cinema, Botanic Gardens, Chinatown... being a tourist in your own town/country is rewarding!

Daily Outfit: Put a bird on it

When in doubt what to wear when dressing up (regardless of the occasion!), putting a sparkly bird in my hair always seems to cheer me up.
