[I DIG] FLUME

Oh baby it's cold outside... let's dance. (around the house while cooking dinner)



If you don't know him yet (WHAT!), he's this 21-year old music god from Sydney's Northern Beaches that won't take too much longer to make everyone else around the world go crazy for him. All you kids in Europe and the US better go see him at one of his gigs now that he's touring or else you'll really regret missing out... I always make the mistake to discover artists after they finish their concerts in Sydney, so don't follow my example.


In the meantime, go on his Spotify and star the shit out of him already.

Don't think there's anything I need to say. I can see your saliva running down your mouth.

Summer is approaching fast, guaranteeing some of the grandest sundowns in the world.

[BAREFOOT] BE JEALOUS, WORLD

 

In the two years I've been here I'd never sat down at Opera Bar until yesterday. When Tamara and I were on our way I thought ha, this again is most likely a really touristy spot where a whole lot of foreigners sit and gaze at the Opera House and the Bridge (which I get to see from the ferry every day I go to work) and get ripped off for their drinks. Well, I ended up sitting there gazing at the Opera House and the Bridge too, with a whole lot of other locals. And they didn't even rip us off for our drinks.

Recently I've been feeling very grateful to be here; Sydney Harbour is just so amazing no matter how often you get through or see it, and Manly is probably one of the coolest places in the world to live - what else can you want besides five beaches, meals and drinks at the water and in the sun, and living at the speed of a turtle? I couldn't be happier with my life at the moment, and thanks mum for sending me here.

How gorgeous is my Tamara? And I really like that make-up on me too; Irina's flat mate Karen took me to her make-up course and I got to play model for her oriental face practice. I'm gonna make her run through a Make-up 101 course with me - time for me to get acquainted with more than just eye liners and nail polish.

And thanks to that stranger who offered to take photos for us!

[BAREFOOT] A RAINING JOSEPHINE SESSION

*Jason Mraz - A Beautiful Mess (From A Raining Jane Session)

Josephine and I were in the same group for Contemporary Leadership, and from the very first day I thought this girl wears mad stuff; it was pretty much a massive fashion girl crush at first sight. Last Friday we hung out all day as I had asked her to take me shopping some time - the weather was quite miserable but I had such a good time exploring awesome shops around Bondi, Woollahra and Paddington, and areas I had never been to before. She is such a lovely and funny girl (she believes she's a very pink person) and I'm excited to hang out again soon when she comes back from NY - you know, she's just casually flying over there during Fashion Week. Without knowing that it's on.
And now I remember - she was one of my "upcoming projects". She's finished with her degree after this term so I better follow her around at college to take her photos before she's gone.

[BAREFOOT] ALLEYWAYS, THE X AND SOME FLASH

It was Monday, Queen's birthday, overcast and therefore dead quiet in the city. Normally public holidays/long weekends here are heaps hectic but winter is currently dominating Sydney so I guess everyone opted for hibernating instead.

Getting out of Manly for a day was a good change. Surry Hills and Darlinghurst have this little bit of magic that makes you feel restless wandering through their web of lanes and alleys, and keeps you coming back for more. Although it kind of drained me - I must have taken that gloomy city mood home with me; I had an uneasy sleep and woke up to a blurry day. But I'm probably just trying to blame those innocent suburbs for my shit day. I must apologise now that I look at your beauty I was trying hard to capture yesterday.

Listening to my favourite devo playlist and to myself, I know for sure tonight's sleep will be much tighter.

And my hand in that last photo looks abnormally massive. Please ignore.
