[Sometimes Images] Inspire

 I am a visual person. I am constantly surrounding myself with imagery. 

Sometimes its an image that inspires me creatively- the colour of feather, the textures in a room, a beautiful portrait or an intriguing fashion shoot. Sometimes I'm drawn to an image just from the feeling it gives me, sometimes I just like to look at images for no other reason that they make me smile or day dream. Sometimes an image will be of something I'm coveting or a street-style-snap that reflects my sense of style or one that I wish I had! 

And sometimes its just nice to see all those images that circulate around me in some kind of order. So I have collated just a couple of these images that are doing the rounds into six somewhat-organised collages.

Love

7 Little Wonders

{Well it's been a big couple of months! (sorry for the lack of posts) I moved to Sydney! I'm really excited how this move will further my own career and enrich The Satchel too.}

{I hadn't even been in Sydney for a week and I was already backstage at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia for Flannel. Here is a sneak peak of a massive post to come.}

{A little luck from a scarab beetle has certainly been needed in the last few weeks. This is my new beautiful gold plated with rose quartz necklace by Gabbi Kelly from Flannel.}

{Sculptures by The Sea at Cottesloe Beach- Sydney beaches will never compare!}

[Illume] Central TAFE's Fashion & Textile Graduate Parade 2012

16 fashion & textile design students graduating from the Central Institute of Technology presented their 6 piece collection in the grand Winthrop Hall at the University of Western Australia. The 500 strong crowd were treated to an inspiring show in which the students showed off their talent for design and innovative textiles!

As a past student myself it was lovely to see what the students had been up to! I was particularly impressed with the textiles the students produced. The course is well-renowned for its focus on textile techniques and design and this year the students even had a chance to develop their own digital prints. The exhibition after the parade allowed guests to view the beautiful textiles and garments up close and to fully appreciate the attention to detail and craftsmanship. It also gave guests the chance to meet the talented designers behind the work.

A huge CONGRATULATIONS to all the staff and students at Central TAFE on an amazing and inspiring show!
