Brighton Huts








Last week we went to Melbourne for the first time. Its my birthday on the 27th and we planned to escape the fuss of having to tell people what i want for my birthday and awkward phone calls.

We actually drove from NSW and it ended up taking longer then expected, like 12 hours. Although, i was with good company. Sam and I love to play silly games like making up song lyrics,we google weird things and Sam loves to drive like a race car driver just to scare me/make me laugh. Which means endless hours of me whinging for him to slow down and stop "apexing" around corners.

My highlight, which to others might seem quite boring was going to the Brighton Beach huts 10 minutes from where we stayed in St Kilda. Even getting sand it my shoes was exciting! Well not really..
We walked,skipped and jumped around taking snaps of each other and a lovely lady who was not very talented took the last picture of us kissing which unfortunately turned out blurry. Wheres Sacco from Evoke images when you need him!?

Apart from the huts we had a kind of 'Hangover' the movie kind of night on ANZAC day. At one point in the night we had met a guy in the navy, his weird cousin with a beard, a lesbian, two gay guys and an Italian man named Luigi. His fathers name was Mario ironically! It was such a crazy unplanned night and we made some good friends which were so lovely and a lot of fun.

We'll be going back again one day for sure.

Only 17








I started Tafe about 5 weeks ago studying Fashion Design and Technology and I'm really enjoying it so far. The first little shorts i made are from a small square embroidered tablecloth. I had a small amount of info from my Tafe teacher (who seemed as excited as i did) as how to tackle making them and i never thought they would come out as good as they did. Needless to say I'm proud of myself and you can expect to see more similar clothing in the future.

 Im thinking of using one of my favourite photos in the world as my inspiration. Its a picture of my mum when she was 17, shes all shy and smiling with her eyes closed looking so innocent and shes wearing a really beautiful embroidered top.


Who knows i might make one as beautiful as that, one day.
