thought it was time for a little bit of shameless self promotion!! do you read the {twin set} blog? I think maybe you should. well if you like this blog, then you should because well, I co-author it!! Angela and I like to keep you updated with all things gorgeous, vintage, eco, pretty and lovely. mostly posts with images, and some with eco living tips. I promise it wont be too much more blog reading effort if you add it to your readers. hehehe.
do us "creative folk" blog about our everyday happenings because our "real life" friends don't appreciate the beauty?

friends. it is friday. yippee to those in offices, maybe not so fun for students who work part-time on weekends (I feel your pain, I am sorry).
this weekend I will:
1. jump with excitement when I finally see the freshly printed Foreshore Dynamic T's.
2. continue jumping while enjoying the sweet tunes of Midnight Youth.
3. chat about nonsense with my Mum.
4. take those freshly aforementioned printed T's and put them on sexy models and watch a super talented photographer shoot them.
5. clean up the red dust.
6. prepare myself to reveal to the WORLD one of the most exciting thing to happen this year (or to the blogging internet world at least).
can you guess what my little secret might be?
can you tell me what your plans are this weekend?

So.
I, like many of you, spend my spare time looking at images of hundreds of goregous, beautifully amazing apartments and interiors. I guess the addiction started when I found apartment therapy, along with design sponge, the design files, sfgirlbybay, you know, you get my drift.
Now.
I love these sites, along with alllll the others. They provide me with endless inspiration, ideas, motivation, all of that. My new(ish) apartment is starting to come together nicely, thanks to a whole host of DIY ideas, eBay hunting tips, layout ideas, storage solutuions etc that would just never have happened without these fantastic sites. (thanks guys).

But.
Sometimes, they leave me feeling a little disheartened. Overwhelmed. Quite simply not good enough. While I constantly look at a little illustration on my wall with the quote "these things take time", sometimes it just doesn't help. I want it all done and perfect now. They seem to be able to do it for all the pictures! Why can't I!

Then.
I started to think. Maybe, maybe these homes only look so super amazingly wonderful due to all the amazing photography. Because really, photography is pretty super, and it can make even the ugliest thing look pretty. So maybe this is where I am going wrong? I am an average photographer. And my eyes are no camera. So maybe I just need to hire a pro photographer (the selby please) to come over, take some shots, and make my apartment feel better about itself. Because to be quite honest, I think it has developed a apartment (body) image disorder.

Images.
Of various lovely peoples homes from the selby (found via the design files, thank you!). Mess and chaotic looking pretty and perfect.
Ahhh, who am I kidding.

I have this EXACT "artistic sculpture"
going on in my bedroom. I tell my
boyfriend every morning when we
wake up that it needs to be cleaned up
today. But maybe his argeument
now has a valid case... eek.]
