Boom bam I'm back baby. It's been a while but I've missed it and I'm very excited to create some cool content for you all. I am really hoping to create some new films, and be able to interview interesting people, as well as creating more interesting fashion posts that don't consist of me finding cracks in the cement ridiculously interesting or the camera hilarious...
As it has been SIX FLIPPING MONTHS since I've last posted on here (I feel guilty) I thought I'd give you a little run down on what has been happening. I'm also going to steal pictures off pinterest that take meh fancy because I feel like it lays a nice grounding of what I'm liking at the moment. Also it just makes this post look really pweetty.
I got a job! I am the social media manager for @aqof
My family bought a house!
I'm in year 11 now so am beginning to think what the hell I am going to do with myself after high school... I have dreams of studying film, art/design or fashion journalism in Paris or NYC and being an actor for beautiful films but that means I've got to have the $$$ and I ain't got no $$$$...
I just want to meet cool and interesting people and create amazing thanggsss
I would love to make my own clothing
So there you have it folks - enjoy the pretty pictures and videos and I will see you soon!
Possibly one of my favourite music videos - the colours, the costumes, the cinematography and the overall message is just so good!
I know this video is from The Feed (grade 5 anyone?!) but 'Miso' is one of my favourite artists and it is pretty cool to see where she gets her inspiration from. (I wold also love to get a tattoo from her one day...)
I've sadly been very absent from my blog and instagram, and to be fair, practically everything that makes me happy during the past couple of months. I guess I've kind of put it down to living in Chicago and attending the school I go to here, as both don't inspire or energise me to any extent that Melbourne did. I am also being an incredibly hard judge towards anything I create (which isn't the worst thing..) but does mean that I don't end up sharing it with you guys. For now I'm here so I'm hoping to get back into the swing of everything I enjoy, and work on new projects too.
I thought in this post I'd share some inspo from pinterest and other creatives so I can (hopefully) inspire myself and even possibly you...
Alexa my love <3
love the backdrop, her hair and her outfit!
It's getting rather chilly here which is very exciting for me (you all probably know autumn/winter are my favourites!) so I have been looking out for some lovely coats, jackets and jumpers. I'm going thrifting on Monday (the last day of "summer vacation" as the Americans call it), and am hoping to find some cheap gems. Here are some photographs of wintery goodness that I am loving at the moment (when am I not loving it..?).
I'm really wanting to start some different creative projects. Along side wanting to experiment more with photography, acting and film, I'd love to play around with a few different art mediums (all pictured below) and styling.
Artwork by Ashley Mary - medium isn't noted but I'm going to guess gouache ? I could be very very wrong...
Beautiful sketch by Horst Janssen (1929-1995) // Selbst mit Zigarre, 23. November 1965, Sammlung Hegewisch in der Hamburger Kunsthalle - led pencil
Artwork by Violet Lopiz - again the medium isn't mentioned so I'm going to take another terrible guess and say water colour or ink or pencil??
Couldn't find the artist but I think the medium is pastel
Like I mentioned above, I'm wanting to play around with styling. Styling clothes, interior and even flatlays could be really interesting. If you don't already follow @belldazzle on instagram, then I'm not really sure what you are doing... she also has a blog which is way cooler then mine *sob*, and she tends to style her friends and models and friends that look like models and models that are friends in some of the coolest ensembles you'll see. + her photography is incredible + she's only in year 12. Here are some of my favourite pics from her.
Well there it is folks. I love making posts like this just because they're a nice way to display what I am loving and have a bit of a ramble. I'm sorry for being rather absent from everything but I'll hopefully get back into it - I really do love doing all of this.
Well, I don't usually do this kind of post but I thought "hey! why not??".
I've got a lot of blabbering to blab and cool picks to show you, taken off everyones best friend, the 'interweb'.
So I guess let's start with Christmas. I. Love. Christmas. The family, the food, and hey, the presents are pretty neat too. We went across to Adelaide this year which was great! (apart from the 8 hour car trip)... and then came back to Melbs.
Really all I've been doing is lounging around, shopping, checking out other blog sites (wix was not working for me so I'm back here!), eating, easy-bike-rides-which-i-call-my-excersise-even-though-i've-only-gone-on-about-two... day dreaming, actual dreaming, sleeping, photo taking, nail painting, drawing, reading, writing, trying to sing, singing anyway and heaps, heaps more.
My family and I are going up to Sydney in a few days which will be so fun!!!! I've never been to Sydney, and, if you remember my Q&A I mentioned that I really wanted to go there and now we are going. Yeahya! I thought I would make some kind of vlog thing to show y'all what we get up to (and so I can moan to you all on the 12 hour car trip.) ugh. But it is worth it.
Anyhoo, that's about it. (I bet as soon as I press post I'll remember something really fun or important that happened *thinks real hard*) What have you been up to??
I'll leave you with some pictures that I like looking at and just wanted to share with all of you.
Seeya,

Prue from Wildwood, illustrated by Carson Ellis and written by Collin Meloy, is on my list of dream characters to play.

Oh yeah! I was about to post this (i told you I would remember last minute), but I remembered that I have got my hair cut into a bob. It ain't new news but I thought some of you aren't following me on Instagram and I haven't posted any bobby pics here. Yip. Well, there you go. BUT if you do want to see what I get up to in more detail you can follow me on Instagram @urbanarcade (hehe that sneaky self promotion)
Okay, Okay, this is the final seeya,
