Desire to Inspire 

I will keep this post short and sweet as I have been so extra lazy lately and it has been so amazing. However, I do apologize for my lack of blog posts ! I am just in the process of choosing what fabrics to use to make my first few pieces! I found an old single bed sheet at the salvos today which i think i will use for the fabric !! I cant wait to get started ! Anywho ! I have started my own tumblr which is one of the reasons for my lack of doing my own photos etc ! Here is some of the inspiration that i have found through tumblr and also if you want to have a visit the URL is www.apricotaccent.tumblr.com. XX

 World of Innocence.

" It seemed as if the whole world was slowly being stripped of its innocence. Or maybe I was just seeing a little too clearly."
I wanted to write in this quote that I read the other day in Just Kids, if I read this a year or so ago I wouldnt have understood but lately it makes a whole lot of sense. I am really up to that stage that I experience every couple of months where I need a hair change. I am thinking maybe grey/dark blonde hair at a medium hair length with blunt ends. I want to start making some two piece suits. I am thinking a really high neck to shoulder simple top with some well fitted shorts to match. Hawai/Greek patterns are making me happy lately. So maybe this will be my first fabric pattern attempt! I will keep you posted!
I also bought some amazing shoes the other day, a slight creeper platform, a high top fitted suede boot with some nice laces. I also bought some baggy 90s denim pants and a black wooly jumper to keep me warm on my long ventures up to Melbourne. I'm beginning to be swallowed by the whole 80s surfer neon look. Its all so exciting! Anyway last year I did a few photo shoots for studio arts! I lost my hard drive but luckily Samuel had these images on his computer. Thank GOD!
I hope you like them, a few are a bit blurry but my favorite one is of Sam and Bella. So FREAKING cute.

White Collars

Yes I went to Washington… lots of museums…beautiful architecture… however, not the most stimulating place that I have ever been too. A few things I did enjoy were the lovely art museum, which housed a piece of blue tube string which was a couple of meters long and wide it was such a strange and foreign sensation to walk through it. I did have some down time to read Just Kids by Patti Smith and also watch the whole Beatles anthology again so in other words Washington was a holiday; however,  It was a lovely journey home. I made friends with an Australian man called Josh who wore a NYC cap and was as overjoyed as I was to board the flight to our cold country, which was calling me and most likely him with open arms. Here are a few images from the trip, I start back at uni again tomorrow! I cant work out if I am nervous or excited. It will be lovely to walk around the cold foggy city again.

 Us and Them

So New York is treating Samuel and I very nicely, from the subways, which feels like your in a sauna, to the buskers that seem to do the strangest things to capture your attention and of course your money. I really am having a great time! Sam and I have ventured to the broadway to the circus, to a few band things in Brooklyn, some drunken lunches followed by a lot of giggles on the subway! Well today Sam and i went to the hells kitchen market where i found this amazing stall, the owner of the stall was also the owner of some amazing things !! I will post some photos up of the little goodies I found there in my next post!
Below are a few photos taken within two days probably about four days ago hehe ! So there are many photos to come ! The cat photo below was taken in a nice little record store on Bleeker street (the street that Bob Dylan got famous on,) Sam brought a million records, my favourite was the sounds of the Budos band. There was a sneaky coronas incident in central park one morning.. and I did have a lot of difficulty getting up that tree in the photo below.. Sam finally found a hat that suited him, it was an amazing moment. Below there is also a bearded man in Washington square park listening to some jazz buskers. There is a fairest wheel in Coney Island... Sam and I happened to go on it...and not long after we ventured to a high thrill ride, which consisted of me giggling and screaming hysterically.. Sam hasn't looked at me the same since. Yes there is also a couple selfie.. guilty as charged. There are a couple of photos of Shea stadium which we went to last night for the second time to see Woodsman, for once the night consisted of me looking after a very talkative and drunken Samuel. There is Sam hailing a cab whilst eating a strawberry, him walking through Williamsburg in Brooklyn, him in a music store in Greenwhich, drinking some thai beer... a litttle box that our check came in.. what was inside it was not as pretty but the box did cushion our fall.

Well i will stop rambling !! I will post some photos of the last couple days in the next couple days hehe ! It feels so good to be doing another post !! I hope you enjoy xx
