100th post

Leave a comment

This is officially my 100th post, I cant believe I have found 100 random things to say in just over two months. I started out just wanting an outlet for all the creative energy I had (us creative types need to be careful or we freak out or burn out) I was kinda scared that I wouldn’t have anything of importance to share, and mostly I was right hehehe, but it was still fun, just posting not knowing if someone will even see what I wrote. My comment section is still buggered up so mostly I have people commenting on twitter and facebook, which is cool, but I wont lie, Id love some interaction on the actual blog. To date I have had almost 1850 views (well aware that 300 of those could be from me) but none the less it’s great to know that somewhere out there someone is listening to me ramble on and looking at the pictures I take and find.
I intend to keep on posting, sharing and growing thanks soooo much for making me feel like there is someone out there sharing in life’s little moments with me.
MUCH LOVE ELLA

So what are you wearing today? I'm in:

Before I put on Sal’s fashion collage for the day I have some pictures of my own to share, I mentioned before that I was lucky enough to be invited to Sao Paulo fashion week last year. TOTAL FREAK OUT TYPE HIGHLIGHT!!!. and I did not go anywhere without my camera, I took tons of pictures, these are just ten of the fashion ones, see if you can pick out some big names 🙂 I know I saw a few
I was not the only one attached to my camera, hot international photographers 😉

St Paddy’s day

Leave a comment

So there is nothing Irish about me, maybe part of my surname but that’s it. This does not stop me from sharing my five favourite green things in honour of the day 🙂

I love green grapes I have gone whole days eating nothing but grapes, yum

I love the feel of (clean) grass under my feet I could sit in a field for hours, really could

Green shoes, I have a pair in this colour (gift from my dad) mine are not boots just pointy heels, I didnt have a pic so I am just sharing colour

I love rich nail polish and this green is SUPER NICE

My pretty green guitar, I can’t play it and it’s not even home at the moment, but I love that thing, so stunning!

Me in blue tights at SAFW

So this morning I overslept, as in really overslept. Because I work “out of town” I usually take the train (regardless of people’s opinions, I like taking the train because; it’s cheap,I don’t have to face rush hour traffic, I have met amazing people and have I mentioned it’s super cheap) anyway missing the train means I am now updating my blog from a taxi blasting music from old school musicals, while I sit lodged between a construction worker and someone I assume to be a secretary (SA for you).
Walking to taxi rank made me realise that I like how random my life is and how I have lived two sides of a story.
Thinking about my life I have to say I love that I’ve lived in a small bachelor flat as a little girl, moved eight times to a point where I could pick my bedroom out of seven.
Went from watching my parents take on handy man jobs to make ends meet (my mom would sew my dad would fix things) to helping my dad set up his own business.
I love how I know how it feels to be searching the house for change to buy bread, but have also been lucky enough to have eaten at many fancy restuarants and know that pine nuts and rocket are some of my favourite salad ingredients.
I love how I know how it feels to be thankful for school uniform because I had nothing nice to wear any way and I like how it’s taught me the value of looking good without me forgetting that the outside of someone is nothing more than a mask.
I love how I’ve played in the same roads others see as dangerous and have gone on to attend fashion shows around SA and even Brazil.
I love how my husband and I know the worry behind having to choose which bill to skip and how to stretch 100 bucks over a month, but we also know the joy of having no fears of debtors phoning you and getting to decide if we want sushi or steak for supper.
Most of all I love how I have never wanted for anything, how my parents would do anything for my siblings and I and taught me the pleasure in giving. Their lives have set the example that working hard you can have your dream.
Thanx mom and dad and thanx Rob for working towards “the dream” with me.
-have a great day guys, just remember “be careful of the toes you step on today, because they might be attached to the ass you have to kiss tomorrow) 😉
