Jeffery Campbell Craze




These shoes + many more have been on my wish list since i discovered Jeffery Campbell. He is one of my all time favourite shoe designers and all of his work is artwork. As you may or may not know I am in fact completely and utterly obsessed with shoes! Jeffery Campbell takes the cake for me ( I mean apart from Christian Louboutin; one day I will own a pair of you! *dreaming*)! 

This was just a quick little post, I hope everyones holidays are well underway and going awesomely. Its nearly Christmas, anyone excited?! Whats on your wish list?

Burning

Sunglasses: Minkpink // Dress: Glassons // Necklace: Sportsgirl // Boots: thrifted 
This post is dedicated mostly to my outfit but strongly to these amazing trees and the flowers that have sprung on them. These trees are both on either side of the main road by my house and the site of them are one of the simple things in life that make me smile. This outfit was what I wore to Breakfast with Brodie and we pulled over to take these photos on the way back.

The title of the post "Burning" is kind of my emotion or the feeling inside of me at the moment. I've just finished year twelve, I'm excited for life and what it all has to offer. I have this deep Burning emotion inside of me to be the person I want to be. For me, well, I'm strangely finding it hard to put my words into actions. Its sounds easy it really does when you say it but to brake out of old habits of always putting yourself down and always comparing yourself to others is hard. We are all young and trying to find out who we are and I need to remember this sometimes.

My incredibly talented young man took these photos as always! Im sorry for a little bit of a chit chatty post. I just felt as tough I needed it. A lot of exciting things are happening right now! I have started full time work now, which means working five days a week in the hairdressers. Its also nearly christmas !!! AND I go to Thailand soon (10th January 15). Also maybe Hayley Williams orange hair or fluro purple hair in the near future! I will be posting as much as I can to the people who read this blog. Talk soon,

Sleepy Head



Here are a few snaps that Brodie took on his new little lens. I am incredibly awkward in front of the camera always and I will never look at you; maybe just for a split second. He always manages to get a few cool ones until I start pulling funny faces. We finish school in less than two weeks and counting! I am currently on exam block which means next week is my final week of school. This year has gone too quick for words! It feels like only yesterday I was leaving to go to high school and now I'm leaving with a full time job in my hands, some amazing friends for life, memories and the one who I love!

On another note, yes my hair is long! and no it did not grow over night nor am I wearing a wig. They are tape extensions and I got them done at my work (I work at a hairdresser if your new here to the blog) If you have any questions about them or want to know anything; feel free to comment below or send me an email which you can find at the top of the blog. Post again soon. Take care,

10 Songs I can't get out of my head ! + Update

- *Image not mine* From my Tumblr -
Hi guys, long time no post I know. I have been extremely busy with school (three weeks left *screams internally*) and work but I am so happy to be back blogging! I thought I would do a little up-date before i get into the post.
I am currently saving up for a new camera so the photos on my blog will be a lot better than my iPhone; other than when Brodie Photographs them because he is a genius with a camera! I am also thinking or will be making styling and lifestyle kinda vlogs on youtube next year. I'm heading to Thailand in January and will be hopefully be filming my whole trip! Oh and I'm getting long hair on friday so keep an eye out for that one! (Instagram : @caitlynkirton_ ) I think thats about it! all updated, no onto the post.

I have had a few songs stuck in my head for the past few weeks and they are just too good not to share. Take the time to listen to them! I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.


Patty Walters / Stay with me (cover)

I am all for covers, I love them and it kinda gives me a new love for old songs. This cover by my favourite Patty Walters is a lot softer than the original sung by my all time favourites "You Me At Six." He is also in a band called "

FKA Twigs / Two Weeks

Her music just makes you want to listen and indulge in the sound. Her voice is just so hypnotising and puts me in a trance and only Coldplay and a few other singers/bands can do that! I strongly suggest you listen to all her songs on her album because they are mind blowing and a little odd.

Andy Bull / Dog 

I have fallen in love with Andy and his music since the first time I was introduced to his music. I was lucky enough to see him live in a small venue and was so close I could have touched him! It was magical. Even though this song is about depression it is such a beautiful song. All of Andy Bull's music is something to listen to of everyday of the week!

Banks / Warm Water (Snakehips Remix) 

This is one of those songs that you listen to when getting ready with the girls to go out for the night. It has a beat that just makes you want to grove and smile while listening. Its nice because its not too full on but its not just background music. I haven't really listen to much of her other music but another one of my favourites (which is an original) is called "Beggin For Thread."

Youth Model / Couldn't resist 

Youth Model is a new band to me and I've only listen to this song of theirs but I'm in love with it! The tune of it makes you want to be at their concert rocking out and singing along. Hopefully they post more on their Youtube Channel in the future because I love their vibe in their music.

Lo Fang / You're The One That I Want (Cover) 

My wonderful boyfriend (Brodie) sent me this song and it is breath taking. Its amazing and I agree with him this should have been the way the original was sung. I haven't listened to his other music but if its this good he will be on my favourites list for a long time coming. His voice takes you to another place, I fall asleep to this at night and it makes me feel all good inside.

Tonight Alive / Lonely Girl 

I was lucky enough to go and see these guys live in concert when I went to go see " You Me At Six" earlier in September. They are an Aussie band from Sydney and the lead singer Jenna McDoughall makes such an amazing atmosphere and her voice is just *cries* ... you can't put a word to it; maybe Hayley Williams esque with the way she fills a room with her voice. I have grown up listening to "pop - punk" music and always gravitate back to it. Their album is one to buy !

Sia / Soon We'll Be Found ( Triple j like a version)

Her voice is one that will never get old and she even sound amazing with a croaky voice! Even though I don't enjoy her new music as much as her old, her voice will never get old. I grew up listening to this blonde bombshell and always wanted her hair.  This is one of my all time favourites of hers and if you haven't heard it .. .well you have been living under a rock!


Adult Jazz / Am Gone 

Adult Jazz is one of those bands that never fails to disappoint. Their music is refreshing in a sense and is something to listen to when you need an uplift in your day. They remind me a lot of Dog is Dead who is another one of my all time favourite bands.


Grace Vardell / West Coast ( Lana Del Rey Cover) 

There are two people in the world who I wish I could have their voices; Hayley Williams and Grace Vardell. This girl is amazing, her voice is so pure and effortless. She gives me shivers when I listen to it, it's better than the original in my books! Not to mention she's only 14 ... Check out her other videos! They will leave you speechless!

 I hope you enjoy these songs as much as I do! What songs are you obsessed with? please leave a comment on them! Much love,

Winter Blues

Jumper: Thrifted / Tee: My boyfriends / Skirt: Lee / Shoes: Vintage 
Long time no blog, I know I know I'm a horrible person! But I am back now and it feel good. Im sorry this outfit is a little boring. Brodie and I just went and saw the new ninja turtles movie and he took a few snaps of my outfit before we left. Its comfy and warm (even though its not cold; far from it achually) Spring has certainly sprung and I'm still not in colour ... What a surprise ! I am quite sad that the warmer weather is hitting us so early, I love the cold.

Its was my birthday yesterday and I turned seventeen, nothing too exciting. I got a new Macbook air which I'm still getting used to so no fancy  editing. If any of you guys have any editing sites you can recommend or programs for the mac please let me know! Also let me know what you think I should do with my hair ... Im in a bit of a rut! I hope you all enjoyed this post (Well the ones who are still with me). I'm sorry its a quite one. Hope you are all having a good day,  post again soon!

I purchased the "Crazy face tee" in a size medium as i wanted it to be baggy. Its the perfect every day tee and I may wear it forever! You can check out their collection Here & follow them on instagram HERE.Sorry this is a short post, but i hope you enjoy our photos (im pretty awkward in-front of the camera but Brodie always seems to capture some awesome moments). Take care,

August Desires

Free people top / Monki shirts top, $13 / Happy Socks ankle socks, $17 / Topshop jeans /Birkenstock sandals / Crystal necklace, $23 / H M chain jewelry, $9.93 / Buckle belt, $46 /Nars cosmetic, $51 / Topshop velvet lipstick, $13 / Marc Jacobs perfume fragrance / Sony Alpha a5000 Compact System Camera with 16-50mm Retractable Lens… / Frends Taylor Headphones
Hi guys, Ola! How are you all doing ?! I'm back after a long brake which im so sorry about. I'll be back posting regularly again and i have no excuse for not blogging except for lack of inspiration and also having no time to post a quality post, BUT never fear I have some ideas up my sleeve.

Basics, I need more of them in my closet and I need to invest in a few good tees and singlets. The ones from Free People look like they would do just the job! I admit it ... I have fallen into the "ugly shoe trend." I love Birkenstock's and have recently purchased a pair from topshop which are platform style *heart eyes*These ear phones are to die for, I mean they are the prettiest ear phones ive seen and ive been wanting them for ages, but just cant bring myself to pay $200 on them when im ment to be "saving." If you haven't heard of Broods I suggest you stop what you are doing and listen to them. Click HERE and HERE. I was fortunate enough to see them at Splendor in the Grass (which was amazing by the way)! Shes just too cool!
I've been looking to buy a new camera and this is the one I will now be saving up for. Its a Sony A 5000. Next on the list is jewelry, im a big fan of it and how it looks (especially silver) but im not very good at styling it. I would love to have a body chain and some layered necklace's to style. Orange lippy is always on the list because I never get around to getting some!

Its my birthday coming up too and I am getting from my wonderful Parents and family a Mac book air, which i am over the moon about! Maybe some of these items will be a birthday present to myself hehe. Ill be posting again soon! Take care,

Adventures w/ Brodie


Tee: Chemist // Tee: Op shop // Jeans: Topshop // Shoes: Vintage // 
Sorry for my absents lately I have been quite the busy little elf, but I am back now and will be posting regularly again (to any of the lovely bunnys that read my blog). I though that I would share with you some of the awesome photos Brodie took of me when we where in the city. We venture in and ended up walking from south bank through an estate called ' Spring Hill ' (where ever that is) and ended up in Fortitude Vally which is quite a away away from where we started. Can we just take a moment and see how cool these turned out?! I love them!
You can follow Brodie and his work HERE , HERE & HERE  
On another note yes my hair is brown due to my hair being unable to handle the bleach anymore but non the less, I love it ! and i hope you all do too. Keep an eye out because I may be getting extensions too. Ill post again soon
