A whole Lotter fun !

Also, I saw an otter today swimming in Lake Sammamish


Sweet !

this totally makes me want to dye my hair dark

Maybe it's the being in winter up here in seattle, but anyway, I know I wasn't really happy being brunette, I remember how awesome it felt when I went back to being blonde again,

Anyways just thought I'd share :)

the land of much deliciousness, in the city of prettiness

Man, i have got to get wayyyyy better at posting.. this is probably going to become a life blog for a little while, it jus seems to be goin that way..plus i was super at packing, so b4 i go shopping it's just going to look like the same pieces mixed in many many ways !



So I left all my friends on Monday night for a month. Heartbroken is not the word, so sad, i have so many awesome peope around me I feel very blessed.. then I've spent something ridiculous like 20 hours in planes.. had 5 hour stopovers along the way.. and bang! Here I am, finally, in Seattle..

Seattle is seriously pretty. Seattle's like the pretty girl in class who is seriously awesome but doesn't really talk much and so people don't really know much about her. At the moment it's well and truly winter, so the pines are dotted amongst deciduous trees which have all lost their leaves, it looks.. well it looks exactly how you imagine america in winter, like something from a movie or postcard. My dad's house is on a lake here, so every monring I get to wake up to this

that's been pretty neat.. a few weeks back there was a little family of otters sliding around on their tummies on the dock, it was the cutest picture, i'll ask if i can post it for u all :)

Also, I took a photo of peppermint bark for Sam from thatswhatsam-said.blogpot.com to have a look at, i hope i described it well!
I have been eating so much here it's ridiculous, they have such different food, yesterday i had a maple syrup donut.. so amazing it didnt even get enough time in the world for me to take a photo, there's pop tarts for $2.49, which jst seems ridiculous cos in Australia we pay like 8 dollars or more, might even be 10 i cant recall.. oh and AUSSIE WINE - is actually cheaper here, and yellow tail has wayy bigger range, work that out. Going to Costco tomorrow, it could get crazy, im jst excitd about costco pizza slices, they were so yum last time!
Shopping here is crazy too, i was flipping thru a big 5 catalogue ( like our Jim Kidd for sports store) and nike's are normally $60. This trip is going to pay for itself in no time.

Another discovery of deliciousness, Passionfruit Malibu. OH . My. GOSH. Sam i hope u read this, ALL of my duty free allowance is going on this stuff, it is so delicious! screw Alize! yep yep yep, that's just how awesome it is =D

The day before I left I did a shoot for the amazing, amazingly talented Olivia from Olive farm.. totally worth looking her up on etsy, her stuff is sooo pretty
Anyway, here's one of the photos from the shoot

also needing a huge mention is Mashita from Meisha make up artistry, she was sooo gorgeous and did such an AmaZing job! her page is http://www.facebook.com/#!/meisha.makeupartistry

Just quickly
this was the night i left so the picture quality was shot to high hell, oops! anyway, you'll see more soon :)


so im ridiculously tired! and it's something like 2 maybe 3 am here .. damn !
hope you're all eating lots of yummy foods, doing lots of amazing things and feeling fantastic, wherever u are in the world !

9. Went to macdonald's almost everyday of the week - stress eating clearly kicking in. Got two free bigmac/quarter pounder vouchers because it took longer than 3 minutes to get my food.
10. had a brush with an angry German Shepard when I didn't notice I was walking on it's driveway.. who knew stuff from Bear Gryll's worst case scenario would ever be useful? Cheers Bear, ur even more of a hero !

Outfit 2 of 7

Outfit number 1 of 7 new

Just for you kim !thanks so much for ur very speedy comment ! I agree, it's so easy living in perth to just zip up to singapore, bali etc for a week ! I'll be posting more very soon, but im at uni at the moment !

Hey gorgeous readers ! So excited, so much to tell you! Phuket/Malaysia was ammmaaazing, i feel so blessed to hav been able to visit such beautiful places with such astounding scenery that you just don't get in Perth! First stop malaysia, and first thing off the plane - coffee bean and tea leaf for a ice blended chai mate ( said mah- tay) how i wish they had a coffee bean and tea leaf here in Perth, i would travel everyday to have that little cup of sunshine in my life ! Hearing the man giving me my tea, saying terima kasih, and i'm already loving the place silly.i remember reading eat pray love, elizabeth gilbert was talking about travelling, and about loving it so much that she just didnt care what it put her through, how sick it made her. This is exactly the way i feel. I love everything about travelling, I love the people, i love the way different things hav different words, i love all the different scenes, soaking up the culture as i physically can, the food.. Oh the food! my gosh,ate myself silly the whole time i was there, my fiance must have been embarassed at how much i ate ! We worked out the other day that by the end of the year i will hav clocked up over 20 flights, not bad for someone who's not the calmest flyer in the world ! Having already been to malaysia this year, it was great to go and be able to show fiance around, and im sure now, that there is no other feeling in the world quite like knowing where you are in a completely different country, where it's a completely different language. There's something so deep down satisfying about it, even the little things like being able to recognise the word 'tandas' which means toilet, just gives me a kick. Went back to petronas twin towers, and i didnt think it possible, but those towers looked even prettier than in my memories ! We actually got to see them from the sky as we were coming in to kl airport, which was sooo cool, and saw genting in the highlands, where i went for a while last time too ! Fiance agreed that they were the most beautiful buildings he'd ever seen, aftr a heap of photos, off we went down to the aquaria, where i got to watch fiance's eyes light up with amazement at the size of the bugs, the stargate atlantis looking crabs, and squirm at the thought of having fish eat his feet ! Hahaha it was fantastic jam packed day, the shopping was unbelievable, chinese markets highly recommended ! Monorail was so fun but so packed! bullet train back to the airport, onto phuket, and night swim b4 slipping into our bath robes and hotel slippers.. Bliss! Part 2 coming soon

Hope your having a fantastic amazing time, wherever you are in the world ! <3 always Lily

Back to Uni

hey readers! Hope you've all been having a great time, wherever you are in the world :)

Anyway so uni has gone back for the semester - yay! but aw :( hahaha!
Semester two is my favourite semester, the days are getting longer, there's a lot more sun to be enjoyed, and a lot more hanging out at the tav, and it's the semester quite often that a bunch of us will ditch class and head to the beach :) bliss!

So good to be back, I can't tell you.. this is the last semester for a lot of my friends, so there's a real sense of " make these days count" around.. which is making it lots more fun and making us all spend more time with each other.. cue crazy times at the tavern which roll out to us all heading out ..(in the middle of the week too!) and stumbling in late to the lecture the next day looking very seedy!

I've got loads of outfit posts to put up - I'll try to upload them tomorrow, I won't promise I'll get it done today! take care guys, talk again soon

Made on the Left

OH MY GOSH!!!!

Went to Made on the Left today, a designer art and craft market which showcases creative talent across Perth. My goodness, if only I was so talented!! It was soo great, it's one thing to scroll through etsy stores online, it's another thing entirely to be able to see all this stuff in one place, and even get to talk to the amazingly gifted people who've created it ! So much beautiful stuff I had no idea where to start! Bought some delicious handmade soap - coconut slice scent so yummy I'll have to remind myself it's soap!

Also, another amazing thing happened - I was just walking about, taking in all the amazing sights, looking what I thought - very worst for wear -and one of the ridiculously talented designers, from the label Olive Farm - asked me if I'd like to model some of her beautiful headpieces & headbands for her!! You literally could have blown me over with a feather. For one - i adore headbands and headpieces, and these were the prettiest I'd ever laid my eyes on, and for 2: even though I've been doing some stuff for my photographer friend and his colleagues, i have never quite thought of myself as being anything close to a model!

Hope you're having a brilliant time, full of adventures, wherever you are in the world!

New Grey Cable Knit Socks!

Looking quite excited here for two reasons - 1. Uni: managed to pull off some sweeet results! 2. New socks!! I have been looking for these babies (exactly) for - and I'm not even kidding - probably 2 years!

Anyway guys this is gonna be a short one - hope you're all having a wonderful, splendiferous time, wherever you are in the world !

All my love <3 Lily

A little bit of sunshine !

Hey there beautiful peeps, hope you're all feeling toasty warm, and the sun is shining, wherever you are in the world.
Still freezing here in perth, another zero degree celsius night last night.. Which means that there's not a lot of going out, but a lot of staying in with friends, huddled around the heater and eating copious amounts of delicious comfort food ! Perfect!
Anyway this photo was takn while a friend and i were adventuring through the city on the weekend. Poor Perth, I've been so busy I can't even think when the last time when i was ther, it's kind of turned into the kind of relationship you hav with the family pet when you move out, you don't see it as much, you miss it dearly, but when you do see it, it's as if nothing's changed. Ahh Perth, you loyal puppy, you always surprise me with something new to discover. Went to patricia piccinini's exhibition at the art gallery this trip- Wow. Where do i start. First off, that girl has some serioud talent, because my goodness, her creatures looked real! Pretty creepy looking, but when you saw them up close, they had a sort of innocence and gentleness to them, i'll post a pic of the igloo critter which i liked the best.. She'd also used vespa's and motorcycles as creatures, it was just insane !



All my love <3 Lily
