What a week! I've been missing for the past 5 days and to be honest i'm not really sure what i've been doing with myself (besides taking photos in a 1950's tulle dress on my furniture?). You know that feeling when you're frantically trying to do 20 things at once and instead of focusing on just one you try to juggle them all at the same time and in the end you don't really achieve anything? Well that's me right now. I feel like i've been working towards something that still seems so far away but i'm slowly ticking things off my lists. I could honestly poke my eyes out if i had to speak to another bank representative or printer though!Anyway, i decided to take some happy snaps of my office before the big move in two days time. The one thing i absolutely love about my office is how beautifully lit it is during the day so i wanted to document it before we leave, as well as my inspiration board for this month. I also received this amazing white clock as a gift from Snow Fawn a few months ago but haven't had a chance to post about it before now. I can honestly tell you that every time someone comes over to visit they always stop mid sentence and say "Oh my god, how beautiful is that clock!?" and i couldn't agree with them more. I'm always so grateful for any sort of gift i receive but even more so when it's something i would have personally picked myself. Sometimes people just get it so.. right.. and i don't think i could have picked a more perfect clock to reflect my personality. So thank you Bonni for the generous and beautiful gift! It's absolutely stunning and it makes moving house just that little bit sweeter knowing i'm taking something so beautiful with me :)

Fingers crossed the move goes smoothly so i can settle in quickly and get back to posting on my blog! I've missed you all. How was everyone's weekend and what did you get up to? I hope you didn't spend it chasing around application forms like i did. Like i said, i could poke my eyes out at the thought of it so please tell me about your weekend instead!

(DIY Flower headband, Camilla & Marc high waist Shorts) I can't begin to tell you what a wonderful day i had yesterday. Not only have we finally settled in to our new home after 5 days of painful and torturous moving but i also received some wonderful surprises in the post. The biggest surprise of the day was when Chloe returned with the brand new copy of CLEO Magazine fresh off the racks. I excitedly flicked to page 82 where i found a jaw dropping page full of my photos alongside an article about street style blogs! I did this interview about a month or two ago and you never know what photos they're going to use or what quotes you've nervously said, so the feelings that rush over you when you see something like this for the first time is, well, it's indescribable. I experienced so many feelings in the few minutes it took me to read the article. I was excited, nervous, happy, overwhelmed, and after a whole 24 hours it still hasn't sunk in yet. To be honest I'm not sure if it ever will...A very big and warm thank you to Jess from CLEO for writing such a beautiful article, and to Ellie to whom none of this would of been possible - not even in my wildest dreams! I hope you believe me when i say from the bottom of my fluttering heart i would never have thought Gary Pepper Vintage would be on the pages of a magazine like CLEO.I thought i would scan in the pages for my international readers who can't get their hands on a copy. Oh and before i forget, Chirssy Lau is featured in this wonderful issue too! I was ecstatic to see her beautiful illustrations gracing the CLEO pages and we excitedly messaged back and forth as soon as the issue came out. I always knew she was a brilliant artist, i guess now the rest of Australia will too :) Enjoy!
