Weekend thinking

1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

"I'd rather be a could-be if I cannot be an are;

because a could-be is a maybe who is reaching for a star.

I'd rather be a has-been than a might-have-been, by far;

for a might have-been has never been, but a has was once an are" 

-Milton Berle

Coming together

1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Again recently I've been busily working on new projects. I can't wait to share a bit more about what I'll be getting up to over the next few months. Until then I think I need to sit down and start making lists, become disciplined and start ticking things off.

Always a lot to be done, but it is coming together.

Saturday Instax

Trips up to Auckland are now becoming more frequent, and I imagine this will only increase with good friends of mine Amanda and Jeremy making the move next month. Yesterday I caught up with Jessica from Foxes, she was able to introduce me to plenty of new Aucklanders and shared with me some of her favourite places (Along with a couple of shops that were on my to-do list).

We stopped off at Sal's for some authentic New York styled pizza and garlic knots. Biggest slice of pizza to date, I only needed one! Afterwards it was a visit to St. Kevins Arcade to try the coffee at Alleluya with the Auckland Sky Tower as a backdrop.

Before travelling back home I had to visit Arcade on Cross Street. I had never been in their store before, but had heard plenty about them. Even got to see Askew One AKA Elliot, painting a new winter window display. Every time I'm up in Auckland I also have to visit the boys at I Love Ugly. They're a rad bunch.

The lost boys club prints

Another addition to my project, The Lost Boys Club. Prints are available via Etsy, along with some pretty sweet bowties. Check out Here Comes the Sun for your chance to win one of four.

Grand Scheme Spring/Summer 11/12

I've chimed in a little late for the Spring/Summer 11/12 collection by independent Australian lable Grand Scheme. However you can still nab what's left via their shop. Otherwise I'm looking forward to their Autumn/Winter 12 collection.
