Unemployed- Parcel of Rainbows















On Thursday I received the most amazing parcel- I'd like to call it the
parcel of rainbows because thats how happy it made me feel.

I'd just like to say that I have some of the most
amazing, beautiful friends back in Australia and I dont know
what I'd do without them. I miss them everyday & I know
we are going to be friends for life (wow how much
of a whimp do I sound like right now?) haha!

I received my parcel & went and had a coffee
to celebrate opening it.

I started to cry in a cafe because it meant so
much to me..

I received a handmade coat hanger...I've called him 'Muddle'.

The most awesome 'Bondi Style' book...this is so inspirational and makes
me miss home and our style like crazy- keep doing what
you do Australia because your awesome! I love all
the photos of Bondi and interviews of creatives
from Sydney...it makes me miss home so, so much

One of my 'Lady Gaga' leotards from my label
'Prodigy of A'
I miss my label terribly..I miss making it..I miss my customers
and I miss the fun it bought me every week at the
markets and an excuse to hang out with
one of my best friends all day on a Saturday talking
crap, eating blueberry muffins, drinking coffee, talking
about a hot coffee man who is like 45, sitting
there and pondering life- together

A sweet little card from the GOMA exhibition..
with gorg handmade cutouts..somehow
I believe these replaced the words
'i miss you'

This parcel was truly blessed!
You know who you are- thankyou so much
Sometimes Australia feels like
a distant dream that never happened-
this parcel made me realise, it did happen-
and it will happen again.

Unemployed- ?





Hey- wow- remember me?
Unemployed-ness is really taking its tole- inspiration or shall I say... motivation
has to be squeezed from my head like orange pulp at the moment.

Bank funds- yeah, getting quite depressing.
Food? bread, rice, pasta- never thought I'd say this but I'm over it, plus my
face has swollen up like one of those scary blowfish cartoons and I can't seem to make it
go down without a hideous amount of exercise and just eating beans.

I've got an interview tomorrow finally with KICKERS shoes for an Assistant Footwear
PD role...

I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY WANT IT!
The brand has a big recognition with the BRIT music scene and festivals....

Who would suit this more than me?

Fashion Week starts at the end of the week.....

More updates on my Internship & Fashion Week very soon but for
now Kickers research and prep continues, as my brain boggles itself
thinking 'wholey fuck Aysh- look at your savings account- a feeling a bit like
a large rock to the temple of my head'...I'm missing home, I miss my
best friend, I miss the gym, I miss cooking nice food and I seriously just want things
to get back to some sort of normality again.

Now? Sleep.

Love A.

P.S
Please god- bring me luck for tomorrow I really need this!

Ohhhhhhhh by the way- no luck on Fred Perry- someone with more U.K
experience was selected.

Tomorrow is a new day!


Inspiration

***** my feet- they think alot****

** Fashion Exhibit at the V& A- I'm obsessed with these boots by Nina Hjorth- she's amazing! **

** My best friend sent me this little boat and poem all the way from Aus- he sits on my window
sill- reminding me of better days to come**

UK high street trends.

Love A.

Today I went to visit their store and check out whats on offer, I also ran into a catman at Covent Garden and needed to share this. 1) he has a cat on his back 2) this cat has its own fricken scarf. There was also a girl with a superbow on her head, I also needed to share this.

Enjoy.
