Ho Ho Ho Merry Christmas !! I hope all is well. Christmas is always such a magical time of year, everyone is happy and singing Christmas songs and just the overall atmosphere of Christmas is incredible. I have deux (two) outfits for you today - a night and day one. For my first outfit today im not Christmasy at all. In fact I could probably well be the grinch. Black is always in season even if its boiling like it is today! I didn't get much for Christmas simply because I didn't ask for much a few books and some clothes I've been eyeing off throughout the year was perfect! But my favourite was defiantly my record player - its so beautiful and the sounds that it produces is just ahhhh ! My evening attire is still dark colours, of course who would of thought (: Merry Christmas and a safe & happy new year ! Post soon, Take care -

Chinese Stripe

Top: Dotti / Skirt: Op Shop / Shoes: AirForces / Sunglasses: SportsGirl 

Hello cherubs, hope all is well. My outfit today I thought I would dress for comfort as I was walking around in the heat all day. Patten clashing is my speciality ;) so I thought I would wear my striped tee and a chines patterned skirt I snatched from an Op Shop.

 As I normally cant sit still and always need to be doing something so me and my best friend Febe went into the city for an explore, as I do most weekends; always in the city. We got off at South Brisbane  walked to a strip of shops where we found the cutest boutiques! We had chats with numerous people and strolled around for a bit then off to Queen Street where Febe got her Helix Pierced which looks amazing on her may I just add! after that we looked around the normal shops like GP , Topshop + Verge and  then got some food and went home ! was such a lovely day, post again soon,

 Hay guys  ! Sorry I have not been posting so often but will be within the next coming weeks!

Day 001. To have a good start to the Holidays a group of friends and myself went to the Sunshine Coast to camp out for 3 nights at Samantha's grandparents house. We left on the Saturday afternoon and it was chucking it down rain, did not look promising at all ! but once we got into the mountains on where we where staying it had a clear view. The place was amazing and I couldn't have asked for any better, we where out looking the mountains and ahh was to die for. After all getting settled with putting out bags down and such, the nine of us went for an adventure through the paddock which has two rather large bulls in it.

After not getting chased down by the bulls we went to go help out with dinner and have our showers and such. As we ate there was the most magical sunset over the mountains as we just all watched in ore while eating. The food was delicious, a lovely home cooked meal by Sam's Grandma. There Grandparents left us to go to there party so after dinner we turned up triple J and all took out chairs out side and star gazed for a while. We decided to play it safe with sleeping out side as there where a few rain clouds that night and did not put up the tents, we slept inside in beds/floors.

Day 002.  Me and Georgia shared a bed that night and we woke up to the house moving around us, when I say this I mean everyone was awake making breakfast, getting ready to leave for the beach so it was straight into it. We has a lovely breakfast which we all took turns cooking/washing up and putting out plates and so on. Bacon, eggs, sausages, toast, juice the works! Once that was all hovered down we still had an hour or so before the taxi arrived so we decided to set up camp!Brodie and I where already sorted - all we had to do was roll out his swag and where set ! The girls and boys both decided to have a race to put up the tents I'm pretty sure the girls won that one ;)

We caught a maxi taxi there and also back which was fun and the taxi drivers are rude as always. The beach was filled and the water was so clear, We just went into Noosa beach but was packed and had nippers on so decided to walk around to a more of a secluded beach. The water was warm and had no waves which was nice for a change; It was peaceful. We tanned, swum, played with the ball, slept and just chilled out. at about 12 we all went and got some lunch then came back to the beach until around 4 an caught the taxi home. We learnt something interesting from this taxi man that no one told us - if you book a maxi home its alot more expensive that to wait for one. He went into more detail why and such but I wasn't really listening to be honest! hahah. When we got home dinner was served, and then was off to star gaze another night with everyone; trying to see how many shooting stars we could see.

Day 003. I was so comfortable that night, sleeping on a mattress in a tent where I can watch the stars all night was one of the most magical things. Once everyone was up letting each other know by bird calls to each tent ?! we went and has some breakfast - same routine - then head off to the beach. Another relaxing day exploring, shopping,Beach hopping,  tanning, and swimming. Lunch was good and then we went home around 4 for dinner. The taxi guy seemed a little bit strange and didnt really talk like most of them and he also looked like a paedophile. When we got into the taxi ( unbooked ) the meter was already on $10 and we all look and was like thats not right. As it kept going up and when we got to our destination it was an unreasonable price and was not what we had paid for the other time coming back, Brodie spoke up on behalf of us and thank god he did.

 The guy knew what he was doing and agreed to let us pay for what we normal did. Just because we are young dosn't mean we don't know !!!  Every night we has something different - one night  pasta, stake, sausages, salad, the lot she was so kind for cooking for the nine of us! especially seeing as most where guys apart from four.After dinner we all said thank/you for having us as it was our last night and we gave them chocolates and things to say thanks. after Woody offered Samathas Grandma to dance to the dixi chicks as it was her favourite and we all started dancing everyone and it was like the a happy ending to a film was so much fun hahah!  After washing up and having showers we took the chairs down to the tents and talked while looking at the stars - was the same routine every night - as we one by one went to sleep

Day 004. Leaving today :( we all set alarms on our phones to see the sunrise which I saw, not too sure who else did but it was magical seriously like you where in another place. We had to pack up all the tents/ clothes and such as and half went to the beach and half went straight home. Zane's mum picked up Callum, Jordan, Zane, Brodie and I and the rest went off to the beach! It was such an awesome weekend of relaxing and chilling out with my good friends! They are like a family 

Can't wait to do it all again soon! I will post again soon,

Guns For Hands

" But there;s hope out the window, so that's where we'll go, let's go outside and all join hands; but until then you'll never understand"- Twenty One Pilots

Some people don't understand me and that's okay. Its okay not to get something or someone and its okay to be wrong, its okay to make mistakes and its okay to be utterly crazy. It upsets me to see people sucked into the reality of what people expect from each other and be someone who they not entirely are. Be you and be happy with who you are. If you like having space buns in your hair, you rock it. If you want to wear clothes that don't entirely match, I think you look rad. If you want to skate bored or bike everywhere, what's stopping you? You like rock music, play it loud and proud. What is stopping you from being yourself? because people will judge you you say?

No matter what you do someone will judge you, every human does it, it's normal; but if that is what is stopping you from being you - stop - because at the end of the day YOUR the only one who is important; your happiness. 

"What if my friends judge me" - Screw them ! if they are your true friends they would be all for it and if anything want to join in with your new look/style/hobby or what not. 

"I don't have the confidence" - of course you do, your the one who has passion about it, push the boundary; who cares! 

" What will they think?" - stop dwelling on the idea and go for it ! 

"I don't want to get hate for it" - why do people take hate? why let someone so immature being you down for doing or wearing something you love? because its true that they are either jealous, have confidence issues or have nothing to do with their pathetic lives. I've had alot of hate in my time for being "different", "not the norm" or "just plain weird" and to be honest it drives me to be more bizarre because I like the way I am and dress. 

All these excuses can be over come by just doing what you love. Live in the moment and not thinking of what people think, make yourself happy; and I guarantee you if someone puts you down they are jealous because they can't do the same. They are trapped in the cycle of being scared of being judged. I'm glad I got this off my chest because I hate hearing girls and guys scared of people judging them for something which is them and they love, everyone has their opinions yes but lets not be nasty about it. If anyone ever wants to talk anonymous or not message me here! I'll answerers anything and everything, always willing to lend a hand.Post soon, 

Take care -

The Jungle Giants 27:10:13

Hi guys, hope all is well!
so yesterday I went and saw the Jungle Giants, Northeast Party House + The Creases and it was also mine and my boyfriend, Brodie's two years! and it was seriously one of the utmost amazing days I have ever had in my life time.

How the day went:

at 9.00am Samantha, Ashley and Brodie met at mine and my dad + mum took us in ! My amazing boyfriend bought me the most Beautiful flowers! We listened to The Jungle Giants the whole way there of course.
10.15am - Once we got there a few people had already started lining up (there where around 20 people I guess so not many!) and waited in line for the next hour or so (doors opened at 11:30am). They didn't open the doors until 12.00am which was really annoying and also a group of about 15 girls push in-front of us because their "friends" where there but oh well, non the less we where going in !

My amazing Friend Samantha waiting in line

The lounge was awesome, nice leather seats, bar at the back, stalls and benches everywhere and there was about 20 -30 people already finding a spot by the stage. We all made our way to the very left and side where there was some seats, a window frame that led to the other room and then we where 1 person away from the stage! We sat there for a while until finally The Creases came on stage!

The Creases (Lead singer has amazing style; overalls, docs and stripes !! )

The Creases 

Northeast Party House 

Northeast Party House - keyboard player/DJ

They where really good and so nice, they all had such awesome style it was a great performance! Shortly after they preformed Northeast Party House started setting up there gear, and they had quite a bit of it. This took awhile so i snuck through the window to get some water and freshen up before they stared playing again. Northeast Party House I recommend everyone to go see live they where amazing! Their music gets you really hyped up and you just want to dance along and jump around. Once they had finished you guessed it - THE JUNGLE GIANTS!!!

Cesira (as you can see we are pretty much on stage)

Sam singing - 'You've Got something' 

They came on and Cesira was right infront of us, about a meter away maybe even closer. Sam was in the middle, Andrew on the far side and Keelan at the back. The set they played was awesome closing with Shes a riot, it was such a fun experience and had an amazing vibe in the lounge! After they played and said good bye everyone raced over to the merch desk where they were doing a signing. I got my record signed by them all and even got a polaroid with Sam, Keelan and Andrew  which their producer took. All of them where so nice, me and Samantha had a conversation about how there day was going and just chatted. Went over to say hay to The Creases and also Northeast Party House and they where all really nice also!

Signed Record by all members of the Jungle Giants !
