Cacti

Witchery Pullover, Chanel Brooch, Alice Mccall Shorts, Tristan Blair Boots, Amber Sceats Bangles and ring.

Another of my favourite places in Adelaide is the Botanical gardens and specifically the glasshouse and Cactus Garden. On this morning we were blessed with a very prominent sun, very welcome in Autumn. I am wearing clothes here that I had left behind in boxes, after I had gone through them and compiled a mass (aka five or six big boxes) of clothes to give away. Not having time to get in touch with anyone my size in Adelaide I left this pile for my Mum to distribute (thanks Mum!) - donate to the Op shop or to anyone she thinks might want them. My tastes had changed so much, that the bright, colourful and heavily patterned things didn't seem very 'me' anymore. So, someone out there is going to end up with brand new clothes from all sorts of designers (unworn D&G, Alice Mccall, Zimmermann etc). It feels good to let these go.

This week we got approved for a new place, so I will finally have a home of my own! No moving every three months! Yay! So now to find homewares, pack and move. Excuse me if I am absent for a few days. I have some cool projects coming up to share soon, so stick around.

Adelaide Photo Diary

 

 

 

Yeah, I took too many photos. :) 

We were only away for a little under a week, but I get snap happy wherever I go. I have come across a lot of people who have never given Adelaide much thought, and find themselves surprised to learn that although it is small, can actually be both really pretty and cool. I definitely experienced appreciating this little town once I moved away from it. There is plenty to see and do, particularly if you like gardens, wine, antique shopping, beaches, and German food. So with little more to say, I hope you enjoy this photo heavy post.

For the record, photos were taken in the Mount Lofty Botanical Gardens (arguably best in Autumn), Hahndorf, Mclaren Vale, Strathalbyn, Adelaide and the Botanical Gardens, also pictured is Mario and my brother James. 

Honestly I wish I had somewhere less familiar and more exciting to share pictures of, but it has been a long time since I really traveled. :( Soon. I hope.

Cabaret Design Photo Diary

1/ Multi coloured Clown/ King light boxes salvaged from Dazzleland and painted a slicker black, white, gold to grace the foyers. 

2/ Former Archway lettering (which I deemed too small and had remade) reused in the Artspace

3/ The VIP/ Artists bar- at night with the view of the construction River Torrens 

4/ This years table covers and figure number holders- decided to go with a girl, modelled off of Degas' Little Dancer of Fourteen Years Sculpture (which I happily admired in the flesh bronze recently)

5/ Festooning that we expanded on so heavily this year to tie the spaces in together

6/ Costume racks at the Maj for Shane Warne The Musical (now you know why I have a Pinterest folder dedicated to Shane Warne- I used that to communicate with Simon Phillips the director, pinning reference images for the costume design)

7/ The Lyrics VIP/ Artists area- furniture hired through the lovely guys at LB Events. Love them xx

8/ The Artspace being reset pre show

9/ The small Throne I made for the Launch and for a photo spot

10/ More festooning and the Arches Archadia Games gracing the foyer. 

11/ Those beloved clowns!

I have one more design post from the 2013 Cabaret Festival, Moving meant that it has taken me ages to edit and upload them- but I hope you will forgive me.
