Thursday Treats: My Delirium

Kat

November 28, 2013

One of the coolest shops I visited during my time in Australia was My Delirium in Melbourne. A visual onslaught in its OTT décor, it is a treasure trove of vintage sequins, fur and psychedelic prints laid across two sprawling floors. Clearly I was in heaven as soon as I walked through the door. Although I left empty handed it was certainly worth a visit just to gawp alone. If you're in Melbourne any time soon you definitely have to check it out!

Thursday Treats: Back Home and Wrapping Up Warm

Kat

November 21, 2013

BRR!! Talk about stating the obvious but oh England you are so cold! I landed back in the UK on Tuesday morning and after nearly a month in balmy (or at least nicely mild) spring temperatures down under the 5 degree welcome was a little tough to take. I'm currently sat on my sofa wrapped up in two jumpers, black tights and a massive scarf, I guess there's no hiding from the fact that winter is well as truly here!

Thursday Treats: Melbourne to Auckland to Wellington and Back Again!

Kat

November 14, 2013

Since we last spoke I've been in three different cities, two countries and taught over 90 people... Not what you would call a low key week then! After saying goodbye to our Melbourne digs at 5am last Friday we hopped on an early flight to Auckland. Our time in this city was short - literally only two and a half days, and with the majority of it spent teaching there wasn't too much time to take in the sights.

Thursday Treats: Blissful Spa Days, Koala Cuddles and Surfing Beach Babes!

Kat

October 31, 2013

Well, Queensland you certainly haven't disappointed! After a 24 hour journey (London to Dubai to Singapore to Brisbane) I touched down in Australia just before 1am on Sunday morning. I was dreading having such a long flight but I need not have worried. I flew with Emirates, who I’ve never experienced before, and they were amazing! The planes not only had wifi (!!) but power outlets behind every seat… which, when you’re a computer addict like me is a total revelation! I spent most of my time in the air obsessively devouring Homeland episodes (my latest TV obsession) and writing – bliss!

Thursday Treats: OMG Australia, Here I Come!

Kat

October 24, 2013

I have no idea what's in store for me over the next three and a half weeks. Having such a packed schedule recently means that I've had little to no time to research much of what Gala, Shauna and I will be getting up to while we're down under. Thank goodness for Virgo friends who obsessively arrange everything on your behalf! All I do know is the week before our first class in Brisbane I've been promised a spa day, surfing lessons, koala cuddling and zip-wiring through a rainforest. WHAT!? Oh you bet ya I'll be reporting back on all this stuff when I return.

Thursday Treats: A Week Down on the Farm

Kat

September 26, 2013

It's been a busy old week round these parts. Not only did we launch a magazine on Tuesday (!) but Gareth and I were invited to model at the Photography Farm that same afternoon! The Farm is a wedding photography workshop hosted by Lisa Devlin that I've been involved with since it's conception. I actually modelled (solo) for the first ever farm and with this class falling on the two year anniversary it was awesome to not only be asked to do it again but to bring Gareth along with me! Of course I'll be sharing the full results of the shoot soon enough, but I couldn't resist a little sneak peek today.

Thursday Treats: Jet Lag is a Drag

Kat

August 22, 2013

Austin was a short but eventful trip. We may have only been in the city for a few days, with two of them being hauled up in a warehouse space with no windows (it was beautiful though!) teaching The Blogcademy, but we still certainly made the most of our time there. We strolled down South Congress, ate extreme ice creams, walked for miles to get our B balloons filled with helium (in 40ºC heat - fun!) and ate more delicious Mexican food then can be considered healthy (although, PS just say no to queso!)

Thursday Treats: Glitter, Gems & Giant Rainbow Flowers

Kat

July 11, 2013

It's finally caught up with me. After a few weeks of non-stop madness, racking up those airmiles and lack of sleep, I've caught the plague - and when the weather is so glorious too! Unfortunately I've not been able to wallow in my pit and feel sorry for myself, I've had a busy old week, the culmination of it being a massive photo shoot tomorrow in London. It's the final stage of a massively exciting project that I've been working on over the last few months. I CAN'T WAIT TO SHARE IT WITH YOU ALL. I'll be letting the proverbial cat out of my giant bag of secrets super duper soon and I have a funny feeling you're going to be just as excited as I am when you hear what I've been up to (hint: it involves glitter, gems and giant rainbow flowers..!)
