Light on my bicycle.


This wee little adventure makes me want to go explore the shadowy corners in the dark.
Kaiju (the cute wee vending machine creature) means "strange beast" in Japanese...and often translated as "monster".

No Safety Guaranteed.


I've just come out of a 9 month internship, to be offered a permanent role. 
I only now wish, that as an intern, I could have had reason to follow someone or something that had
"no safety guaranteed".

And whilst the industry of advertising comes mildly close to such a place...
Instead I shall have to watch films like this and only hope that the time of full that comes with a job, will be a place of other unguaranteed adventures all the same.

Moustaches, Milk, Cookies, Whittakers & whiskers.

What is more brilliant than a Milk & Cookies bar opening on Queen St.
A Milk & Cookies bar named
Moustache.

I had the awesome pleasure of meeting the owner and creator of this lovely wee shop in the middle of the most busy street in Auckland. This milk & cookie bar with three stools, is tucked in between chain stores and taxi stands. 

A little Stuart Littleesque.

It's a little room full of heaven and whittakers chocolate.

Also, what is so super lovely, is that it is the owners birthday this Wednesday. And she has asked for all her new customers to be so kind (although I think she is the super kind one) to donate a can for the wee cats that aren't so lucky. And in return, you get a cookie. I'm not usually a big cat fan...but when there's a cookie involved...and a good cause 'n all that...!

A nightmareesque dream.


Isn't this girl a fabulous nightmare-esque dream?
I'm completely in love with her sultry goth look.
Putting pink lips and a scrunchie with such killer goth shoes and a dreamful dreary skirt is an odd sort of heaven to me. 
And I thought nowhere could please me more than the streets of Wellington for this sort of look...suffice to say, this girl says a lot for Auckland.

The 4 I do's.


I've been thinking so much about where I want to be in a few years and what I truly want to be surrounded by in a work place.
I'm sticking to my editorial dreams whether that be a blogger for Etsy, an editor for House & Garden or an art director for Frankie.
But I also feel like I'm getting more on track with my everyday.
Since moving to Auckland it's taken me a while to get back here. 
But here I am, back and inspired by...everything.

I am surrounded by awesome people here in Auckland that keep telling me their dreams and goals-all work related ones. And I can't stop being inspired. I LOVE IT. But at the same time, horrific stuff keeps happening that also makes me think more and more about the everyday and how much I want to love every bit of it.

So yes, the 4 goals; to dream, to enjoy, to meet & to do.
