free people

I am prettttty excited to show you this interview with the peeps from Free People



Heres a little snippet for all of you rose hunters out there
They asked me how to give the right flowers and I answered-
We know there is a color code to roses�
This is my official unofficial colored rose giving guide:
� Red: I love you. I want to make out with you.
� Yellow: I think you�re awesome, lets be friends.
� White: I think you�re amazing, and I�m amazing too, so let�s be amazing together.
� Light pink: I wanted to give you the sun and the clouds in the sky, but I couldn�t, so this will have to do.
� Orange: I�m secretly in love with you and want to smell your hair, but you don�t know that.



Now go over here and read the whole lot ya'll!

spring racing

Over the last few weeks I have been designing an installation to go smack bang into Melbourne Central. Yes, as in - Melbourne. Big Deal!
So last week, it was time to make the idea the real deal. Yes I was nervous. I had only ordered 580 bunches of flowers. And at the last minute I was hurriedly stuffing them into my backpack as I ran out the door to catch my aeroplane. 
And then I got to Melbourne, HOW GOOD IS MELBOURNE?
Have I told you what I was making? I didnt? 
I made a flower wall, A really big (dont try this at home) one. 
And no I didnt do it all by myself. I called out for a Melbourne intern, and amongst the line up of applicants, I read an email from Pip. She said something about pinatas. And her name was Pip. So that pretty much sealed the deal.

She informed me of these night time dancing in the dark classes which is kinda weird, and she is going to start delivering people vegetarian lunch snack packs ON HER BIKE under the name of hello aubergine. I know. Cute. She is one awesome tiny compacted human.
this is pip. isnt she cute?

To build the wall, I needed to work in a really big space, that was filled with some first class excellence. The home of Easey st. Easey st, is the place that you wished you lived in, but you cant because its where people work. The boys Jim Bob, Grayson and I cant remember the other guys name (im kidding, joel) look after some cool brands in there, the inhouse mega babe Lou of St Josephine looks after some even cooler brands and then theres anoushka from great sweet and photographer Steve Gourlay who also happened to be the handy man behind the great wall structure. 
I tell you what, if I didn't live in Sydney, Id be parking my car there every day.
Collectively, they are so awesome they could start their own religion if they wanted to.
So Melbourne, if you want to visit this heart racing spring racing creation get down to Melbourne Central quicksticks, because thats where you will find it. It is all part of the excitement for The Spring Racing Carnival.
And you know whatelse, if you catch the elevator you will see maaaa name in there.
Now that is a big deal.

Guess who has new hair and looks like a packet of lifesavers?

the flower bomb BANG

Its been nearly two years since the birth of the flower bomb, and not a day, hour, minute or second has gone by where I haven't had my mind buried deep in the happenings of a flower bomb exploding all over the universe and filling the world with flowers for all. 
It has been my mission since november 2010 to make the bomb go BANG. 
Never in my life have I wanted anything more.
And then it happened. And then I couldn't tell you. Not until now.

If you know me, I am the biggest worst secret keeper in the world. Fact. There are only about three secrets that I have kept without accidently spilling. 
And this secret, it made me burst at the seams.


WELL HOLY CACTUS AND JAM SANDWICHES. IN THE GLORIOUS NAME OF SURF TRUNKS. THIS IS IT. 
THE FLOWER BOMB. THE MOVIE. 




 To Trines and Andy at Analog, I want to thank you to the moon and back for making this happen. And also to Barrett and Myles, and the phantom camera man and the team of pyros. I FLIPPIN LOVE bomb yooooooooouuuuu.

No, this isnt a 2 person conga line. This is pretend christmas with Megan Morton. 
A sneak look at the christmas shoot for real living mag that took place just a couple of weeks ago. (Yes in maggie magazine world, they do christmas in september and valentines day at christmas. V weird) 
Anyway, no turkey, no tinsel, it was just a bunch of awesome clever babes being cute and sipping rose,  being merry in THE MOST well dressed, too good to look at festive christmas setting. And somehow here I am, wearing a hermes blindfold and participating in some stick on pi�ata smashing activities. 


You will have to wait until December to see how we did it MM style.

You know why I havent been around lately? Its because blogger have changed the way we blog. The lay out is different, the buttons look different. Its all different. And in my stubborn ways, I do not embrace the change. So here I've been, just sitting ontop of bloggy posts for you, but I couldn't share them because, I cant handle the NEW POST button looking different. 
So now, prepare to be so UPDATED you are going to get webcrash pash rash.

Sincere apologies,
