I Hate Mondays

Flowers don't care what day it is, so neither should you!


I know a lot of people hate Mondays. The weekend is over and it's time to go back to school, work, university or plotting world domination.

But that doesn't mean you should sulk and sigh! Everyone can have a bad day but don't let the day of the week be the cause of it.

Here are some tips to help you if struggle from weekend withdrawals:

1. Try and wake up planning to have a good day. Yes, we've all heard it before but deciding to have a good day is half the job done.

2. Smile! Or even better, give someone else a smile. I've read in numerous magazines throughout my life that smiling at a stranger can brighten that persons day and they might even pass it on! Yay!

3. Eat something nourishing when you wake up! I'm not a big breakfast person so I usually just have a tangy fruit smoothie to wake me up along with some jam on an English muffin.

4. Make plans! If you're a social person, make some plans to hang with friends. Having something to look forward to can always get you though the day. Or if you're more like me and prefer some quality "me" time, do some things that make you feel happy. I usually draw or read a good book.

5. Take a break! That uni assignment slowly turning your brain into melted goop? Go outside and calm the brain!
Got a difficult problem a work? Work on something easier and then go back with fresher eyes.

6. To do list. Yeah bit lame but hey, it can really help. When I'm planning an art piece or series I always make a list of things I need to do; being able to check things off always gives me a sense of accomplishment.

7. Ye old exercise. Doesn't have to be hardcore but something to get those endorphins going. 
"Exercise gives you endorphins. Endorphins make you happy. Happy people just don't shoot their husbands, they just don't." - Elle Woods.

8. Music! Listen to you're favourite band, whether it be Katy Perry or Megadeth, to keep you in the zone and charge through the day. It always helps me when I want to smash through a massive workload!

Of course everyone is different but I usually find it starts with your attitude towards the day. If you're going to go in negative, that's all your day is going to be!

Cheer up, eat some cake and cuddle some cats!

Chanel Fall RTW 2014

Oh Karl, you sure know to make the fashion world sit up and stare!

This show was amazing. Not only were the clothes beautiful but the runway was something else entirely.

Set up as a huge supermarket and filled with thousands of every day products - with a twist. All the items had been renamed in what has been dubbed chanelspeak and the prices marked up to suit their new high market status. When you go to the Chanel Shopping Center you don't purchase some garbage bags you invest in some sac poubelles.

I've chosen some of my favourite looks for you all to drool over!































Fair enough to say we are dying from too much exposure to this magical collection.

Falling Back To Earth

Happy Hump Day kids!

This past Sunday we toddled off the see the wondrous installation Falling Back to Earth by Cai Guo-Qiang at the Gallery of Modern Art.

Falling Back To Earth is a beautiful representation of the connection between all animals of the world - including humans.

We certainly recommend seeing it if you live in Brisbane or happen to visit! It's on until May and is really a magical piece of art.

Afterwards, we had a spot of lunch and a coffee or three at Alfred and Constance where we still enjoyed some company with some animal friends!
