Yes, you will have to wait 5 mins before i allow you in to take your call,why? because i need the perfect tourist "phone box" facebook pic.

So here are my pics from the previous weekends tourist pics :)

My flatmate just got agro because i accidentally left the door unlocked. It seems she thinks i was personally trying to get her killed (regardless of the fact she wasn't even home). Ohwell perhaps she's right, maybe my subconcious was wishful thinking. Sadly my subconcious was disappointed.

It's raining in london!

hey that's me and i want you only

2011-05-24T08:28:00.000-07:00

So i've grown up in the past few months...

I've realised that Jim isn't coming back from the dead to light my fire, that Heath will never hold my hair back while i puke after dancing on a table, that River Phoenix will always be too pretty for me (dead or alive), and that Elton John will always be gay and will never look like any of the prior mentioned loves of my life. I've also come to accept that fictional characters are impossible to have a romance with. It's this new found wisdom that has lead me to the only constant man love i've had that:

a) is real, and

b) has not self-destructed.

Dear Bruce,

It's me and i want you only

love elke xo

GETYOUR PARTYHATSON

2011-01-01T02:13:00.000-08:00

Looks like i'm back for this joyous new year.

How i love new year, the time for making promises you WILL not keep, spending money on a dress that WILL get ruined, buying shoes you WILL take off by 9pm, wearing a facefull of make-up that WILL melt of, and putting curls in that WILL drop.

I hope you all enjoyed your 1st of Jan hangover, always a nice way to start the new year.
Yesterday don't matter if it's gone, right?

I'm not a fan of new years, but i am a fan of hats.
catch you in zed oh L L

Apparently Elton John's given up song writing.

This was the view from my window in china, and below is the front of the building. Oddly missing the ironic freedom that is living in a foreign country, not speaking the language, living with strangers, having no income, and being told what your doing the next day at 9pm the night before.

road to nowhere

2010-10-24T04:21:00.001-07:00

Dear Wildfox,

You always make me want to pack a bag of frilly knickers, childrens t-shirts, my old ballet skirts and denim ~~shorts~~ underwear and run away to a hick town in the middle of nowhere to get wild in a ~~classy~~ motel (bookings by the hour), while someone gets their seed on and documents it all on film.

I feel this could have negative consequences.

Love and shit

now im old, i look to youth

2010-10-11T04:00:00.000-07:00

When in china, being 19 means looking 13.

hilarious photos none-the less and if you wish to give me free shoes ill be 13 all you like.

for your giggling amusement. i don't really do cute, sorry asia.

Waiting for the Hart

2010-06-14T17:43:00.000-07:00

Around a month an a half ago, i was sitting on my bed/desk/cupboard in the half of the bedroom that was mine in a model apartment in Shanghai checking my email, when the most perfect t-shirt in the world flashed before my eyes (my computer has a glitch so it was literally flashing).

Here it is...Neon Hart, by Jess Hart, Waiting for the Sun, Doors t-shirt

Is there a more perfect t-shirt? no there is not.

One month and a half later, i'm back home in brissy town...cruising around the city killing time when i wander into general pants not really expecting to find anything but SHAZAM, there it is, in all its glory. Size too big? yes. perfect. I take my shirt to the counter where the wonderful sales assisant is finnishing a conversation with his fellow employee "yeah but there's like nothing youse can do about it can ya? ( after 3 months in shanghai you'd think that the sound of aussie slang with a subtle hint of bogan would be endearing...sadly not).

Now let me just say after waiting a month and a half to get my grubby mitts on this baby i was pretty sure nothing would ruin the moment i purchased it. Until the sales assistant asks if the shirt is a gift for my boyfriend.

1. no it isn't thanks to the extreme lack of Johnny Depp, Heath Ledger and Emile Hirsch's in brissy.

2. it was in the girls section

3.don't give me weird looks mr sales assistant, you just said "youse" which sums up everything.

frustration of waiting 1.5 months, and sales assistant aside. I am truly, madly, deeply, savage garden-ly in love with the shirt.

is it not amazing ?

The time i was picking my nose when someone threatened to kill me if i didn't turn into a panda.

2010-05-28T22:51:00.000-07:00

So incase anyone's been wondering why i've been absent, i have just returned today from 3 months working over in china.. where facebook, youtube, blogspot and a million other entertaining sites are blocked by the government.

So what does one do in china to cure boredom all alone? One takes photos of themselves and makes a story....enjoy

2010-01-29T17:21:00.001-08:00

It's boiling in brissy lately, every time you breath you feel like your eating heat. Which means there are only two possibly explanations for my lack of presence...one i got food poisoning from eating heat ...........or........... two i have been running around naked and realise that i might get in trouble for posting naked outfit pictures....

Swimming in a dust storm

2010-01-05T20:57:00.000-08:00

Today i am attempting to clean my room, i don't just mean a general tidy up, i mean the giant kind of clean out/re-arrange type of clean that i really only do about once every...well... never. It has been put off for far too long and now i'm paying for it. I can't see my floor, windows or door at this stage and am convinced i may never lay eyes upon them again. Why is it when you take everythingout to clean, space somehow shrinks and you run out of room to put everything back?

I took some time out of sneezing to go outside and breathe.

Children of the rain

2009-11-06T15:41:00.000-08:00

Dear fellow children of the rain,

My camera has officially carked it, and it now lies in its shallow grave of candy wrappers and coke bottles in my bin. So unless i can swindle a camera from someone, there shall be a shortage of outfit posts in the near future. The depression has set in, because i have lots of new toys (aka:clothes) to show :(

The weekend is going to be great, i don't have work and its raining.

Movies, marshmallows, tea and rain are by far one of the best combinations of words my ears could ever hear, or my eyes could ever read.

So get your brolly out, and frollick in the puddles children. The storms are upon us :)

a days worth of haze

2009-10-20T03:22:00.000-07:00

I'm unsure what i'm doing, though i know it's meant to be an assignment and that it's due tomorrow. Instead of doing the assigment however, i am procrastinating with all my might (which is still succeeding at something in my point of view).

Anyway whilst my mind went wandering i realised that without the invention of clothes my bank balance would be a great deal higher. Solution to problem= run away and join nudist colony

Or maybe just walk around like this.....

I did a test shoot with Geoff Francis and Vivianne on Sunday and it was a mighty great deal of fun :) I haven't seen the pics yet (hopefully i will soon) but he sent me these 3 pics as some form of evil teaser :P

When i get the pics from the shoot ill post them up with a lovely recount of the day, because i was rather eventful.

Let me know what you think lovely people

The storms are coming

2009-10-13T04:10:00.000-07:00

I'm a tragic attempt for a blog writer ( everyone else writes this, and because im new i want to fit in). But realistically, i'm sure you're all doing just fine without my useless ramblings.

Uni will be the death of me but HOORAH as of next Friday i will be finnished for the year!

Lately the weather has been weird

Storms are my friends and because they haven't visited me in so long i'm over the moon at even the slightest mention that one of them might come.

Today feels like pic below.

It was taken by Russell Fleming (copyright also), a very, very talented man who i was lucky enough to have the oportunity to work with. It was a group shoot, we drove for two hours to a perfect location, only to have it storm on us before we could even start shooting. We had no hair or make-up. This pic is the result of being completely drenched and battered by the elements and then having your photo taken. Point of the story?- If you ever find yourself drenched, blown away and freezing just hope that if anyone's taking your photo it's Russell because he managed to still make the shoot work.

check out his website here: www.russellflemingphotography.com

i want you, i want you, i need you, i need you

2009-09-29T00:42:00.000-07:00

OH BABY OH BABY!!!!

man i love 10 things i hate about you, its got to be one of my favourite movies, purely for the scene when Heath Ledger is running up and down the seats, singing..................

But alas, this post is not about 10 things about you and whilst, yes i do need my own heath ledger (if you know any look a likes feel free to send them my way because there seems to be a drought in brissy town), i am actually here rambling about clothing.

SUMMER IS HERE...for real this time....last time i said that, the summer weather was here..but the ranges weren't...BUT NOW THEY HAVE ARRIVED!!!

So below is a wee bit of inspiration for what im feeling this summer.....

pretty please?

im sensing a DIY copcat of this with different wording (apologies i forgot where i found the picture)

Days ought to be spend looking like this...

(image from http://www.thefashionspot.com/)

image from http://www.thefashionspot.com/

A nose piercing is not really neccesary for summer, but Abbey Lee kind of has a way to make you want one a LOT!

Summer is also associated with festivalss as noted by the million woodstock style photoshoots that grace our magazines each summer....(russh, oyster i'm counting on you here). So here are a few pics from i shoot i did a while back with lovely photographer leanne dixon with a similar feel.

We found the "i'm looking for my soulmate sign" in the garden of one of the places we shot at, on the other side it says "free sex," it was the highlight of my life and so i not so sneakily stole it, it resides in my bedroom currently and forever :)

http://www.leannedixon.com/ please note all pictures are copyright

hope you like them!

Thats all for now guys, but i promise ill have some new outfit posts soon, i just have to remember to get batteries for my camera!!!!

Melb-Mania

2009-09-25T17:29:00.000-07:00

Melbourne was fabulous fun.

I went down to the crazy land with my parents and sister, so it was like an old school family holiday (which we havent done since i was 12 so it was quite odd). Anyway the trip was mad fun and consisted of: getting lost, getting lost in the hotel, getting lost on the street our hotel was on and generally a lot of being lost. It also consisted of getting stuck in the elevator a million times, strange conversations with other people in the elevators and getting locked out of our room which for the record had no window in it. It did however, have a lovely white see through curtain dividing the bed from the rest of the room...how romantic...if i wasn't sharing a room with my sister.....nah who am i kidding it was still romantic haha, whilst we sat on the bed eating chocolate and watching the disney channel and mash.

The trip consisted of

-seeing the Dali exhibition

-Shopping (duh)

-seeing Chicago

-Shopping

-Visiting the old jail

-being lost

-eating

Whilst there were a million shops there, i only ended up buying two things. This amazing necklace, which is black rhinestone and silver. ($55)

and i dress...which i'll post a picture of later because i don't have one atm.

.......and here (as promised) are my super lame tourist shots from the old jail which was probably my favourite part of the trip.

My attempt at being a madman in the padded room :)

Mug shot...note the crazy red eye

Let me out

Please Sir, i swear im sane.

but not really..........

til then

I'm back!

2009-09-24T22:54:00.000-07:00

Hello hello hi hi hey hey!

I'm back from Melbourne (city of rain and cold which i will post about later to save from having to split this post into chapters) and am now home in good ole sunny brissytown!

My parents just arrived back from the UK....and with them came mountains of radness as pictured below.

A TOP HAT!!!!

This epic bundle of joy is a traditional one, carried by hand all the way from oxford st, back to brisbane so as not to crush it :P thanks mum, thanks dad haha i love it so!

THE GREATEST JACKET IN THE WORLD!!!

London, london, london, how i wish i could have been there with them! This is officially my favourite piece of clothing in my presence. The picture does not do it justice at all. But you're sure to be seing many pics of it in the future, because i refuse to take the damn thing off!

LEATHER CAP..it was my grandad's and he sent it back with my parents for me (i love it dearly)

DOCS

Oh the PAIN the PAIN the PAIN, i trapsed all over Melbourne in the bitter sweet darlings and my feet are currently cut, blistered and bruised along with my bruised calves. But i love them so it's okay.

There was stacks of other things too, ( a new bikini, a skirt, underwear haha, shoes etc.) but you'll have to wait to see them because i've just put everything away and i'm far too lazy to get anything out again. I'm also a wee bit scared that if i attempt to pull one item of clothing out the entire wardrobe will explode and i'll be back to where i was in the beginning.

Anyway stay posted for my epic melbourne adventure post which is sure to inlcude tacky tourists shots YIPPEE!

I have been rather absent of late, i apologise, although doubt that it has really bothered you. I don't think my blog has reached biblical proportions exactly which is lucky for you really because for one not only do i not ask for a percentage of your pay as the church does or used to (though it can be arranged if you feel it's needed) and secondly unlike in the bible the main character here actually exists.

Anyway it seems the world decided to play a nasty little game called "remind elke just how human she is" and it struck me down with illness. Hence the lack of outfit posts, or posts of anykind.

BEACH TOMORROW...PARENTS HOME FROM UK ON SUNDAY....MELBOURNE ON MONDAY!!!!

Yes i FINALLY have a day off. A day of nothingness. No work. NO uni. Nothing.

It's going to be great.

Anyway as i will most likely be spending today in my oh so fine striped pj's, here is what i wore yesterday.

I'm holding on to the last gasps of winter with clenched fists before im smothered by sunshine.

Also big thanks for letting me know where i could fine the "to hell and bach" shirt i posted about earlier, just my luck that they're out of stock now! Like i said, the world is kind on the RARE occasion. Apparently i am not allowed to have my cake and eat it too.

Okay you know the drill, thats all for now folks

As promised, here is what i wore yesterday. I went down to the old tennis court at the bottom of my garden and stomped around in my new heels getting mud all over....it was great....and the neighbours think im nuts. All in all, a successful venture on my part :)

I love dead gardens :)

Sunday was fathers day, my parents are currently overseas so instead of spending time bonding, i went to the beach with a friend. Much as im sure you'd all love to see pictures of the beach and sun and half naked people on the beach and in that sun, i fear you may have seen something similar once or twice before in your lives. Instead, friends i show you the poster that was behind us as we ate lunch.

PROSTRATE CANCER AWARENESS!!

In around 2.5 weeks or so im going to Melbourne (1st time ever) for a little holiday (4 days) so i have made a deal with the devil herself aka: my nasty inner shopping addict not to spend any money on clothing until then......

But i couldnt resist these lovely feet killers :)

Sachi, on sale at myer $54 (how could you say no?)

also today i finally went and picked up my new book and compcards YIPPEE!!!!

OUTFIT POST TOMORROW

Float on my Summer Song

2009-09-01T22:57:00.001-07:00

Today, my dearest 9 favourite people in the world (aka: my followers) it is Spring!! I had uni, which was boring as pie. For those of you who don't know (which i'm assuming is 8 of the 9 followers) i study creative writing. Yes i'm going to be a poor struggling poet lovers, a well dressed one too!

Anyway, after uni i decided to browse around good ole brissy town and stumbled across the dress i have on in the pics below. Its a mink pink number (honestly that brand seems to get better and better as they go on). They always have fun pieces for a good price (this dress was 89.95).

Heres the link http://lookbook.nu/look/231438-Float-on-Summer-Song

HYPE YOUR HEARTS OUT!

I also stumbled up the stairs on Adelaide st to that fun old music store, and got myself a lovely Doors poster which i decided was probably due seeing how they are my favourite band an all.

Currently listening to: Raising Sand by Robert Plant/ Alison Krauss, my Dad came home with it a while ago and its very worthy of a listen, if not the album then at least look up "gone gone gone (done moved on)" because its awesome as!

That's all for now lovely people

until next time........

Well, well, well lovers whats new?

This week has really whizzed by and i haven't had a spare moment to think!

its still sunny, i now have a fringe, and i wasted some money yesterday :)

Today is my only day off this week so im taking advantage of it by doing basically nothing, i forgot how great it is to be bored :)

Yesterday before i went to work i had a quick rush around the stores to see if anything took my fancy and suprise, suprise it did :) I've been on the hunt for a nice pair of black denim shorts for a good while now, and Universal delivered them in form of the Oneteaspoon shorts im wearing below. I also found a sweet as vest in dotti so it was a pretty succesful 10 minutes in my opinion!

Thats the lookbook link for it, so feel free to hype away dearies!

The new russh hit newsagents yesterday and based on a quick glance i'm voting its actually worthwhile this time round. Russh has been getting increasingly depressing over the past few issues and just wasn't as exciting and inspirational as it once was. But this one looks promising so here's hoping its all good from here!

That's all for now rockers and groupies, until next time

For those of you who don't reside in Brisvegas, you should know that we are actually in the middle of winter at the moment, a 30 degree celcius winter that is!!

Which means..............SUMMERTIME is COMING LOVELY PEOPLE!!

time to dust of the ole summertime blues from the closet and get happy again :)

Summer ranges are only just starting to hit the stores atm and there doesn't seem to be anything much exciting around so below i've put together a little outfit in commemoration of last summer :)

As i said, not much is around but here's some stuff i've bought recently (i know it doesnt really go together but i couldn't be bothered taking seperate pics).

Bow and lace hair clip/pin
Another black jacket, this one has a diagonal zip whilst my others all zip vertically

A little dress

Also the other day, me and my friend were browsing in rocking horse and just as i was buying my cd's my friend spotted a copy of Fiend magazine issue 18!!! I actually don't read the magazine but as i happen to be on the front cover i wanted a copy to hold on to.

The Photographer was Kate O'Brien (of Kate O'Brien Creative Photography)

She is an absolute lovely lady and soo talented, not only did she shoot the pics, she made the background, did all of the styling and even made the neck corset and hat!!!!

CHECK OUT MORE OF HER WORK HERE http://kateobriencreative.com/

MUA: Elizabeth Colbert

Hair: Adrianne Guteridge

These are the two cd's i bough at the same time as Fiend, both Aussie artists: The Galvatrons and Tame Impala, i suggest you all invest in their music!

Once again peace out loverss xo

I've decided that this blog will mainly be looks (lookbook style), pics from shoots i do and news on that front and other shoots/clothing im in love with.

That being said! Get following me!

Last monday i met up with Chih-Han Hsu and did a little test shoot type thing with him, we wandered around the valley and he found some funtastical places to explore (even if they did smell like piss).

Anywho here's some pics from it, and you should definately check out his blog and start following because he does some radtastical photos that are definately worth opening your eyes for!

Well ,well, well, crazy world of internet!

It seems everyone has their own blog these days that noone else reads, so i figured "Hec! i want one too". and here all of my zero followers out there will find boring musings of my daily life, whinge sessions, and things i generally consider to be fairly rad in life. That's about it really but heres all my linkage for you none existant readers.
