soups

Nikki To for Broadsheet

If, like me, you're stuck in a gruelling countdown to the end of semester and your toes are almost frozen off with chill and all you want is a bowl of something steaming hot filled with some noodles or meat or potatoes or vegetables or pulses or all of the above or nothing then look no further than the list of sydney's best soups I compiled for Broadsheet. This was a fun article to write.

cinematic style - overalls on film

Abbie Cornish in Candy // Samantha Mathis in the extraordinarily underrated Jack and Sarah // Demi Moore in Striptease // Mena Suvari in the truly awful (but doesn't she look cute?) American Virgin // Jennifer Aniston in The Object of My Affection

overalls are everything.

Late nights and early mornings got me with a serious case of the denim blues.

the local harvest collective

Luisa Brimble for Broadsheet

A piece I did for Broadsheet on a new business in Potts Point that packages up locally-sourced fresh organic produce and other goodies for you (like toasted muesli, hand-churned butter and a bunch of fresh flowers, how clever!), taking the stress and inconvenience out of shopping. It's called The Local Harvest Collective and it's kind of dreamy. See the full article here.

repose

Kate Moss by Bruce Weber

Vogue Italia October 1996

I feel like I have spent the last few weeks (including most of my Melbourne research trip!) stuck in libraries. I've always loved libraries, I've loved their stillness and quiet severity, that hushed solitude of endless shelves of books, the slow rumble of photocopy machines. But today I think I'm going a little stir crazy. I know it will be over (for now, anyway, don't even get me started on when I have to write my thesis) next week, and I'll be able to drop all my books back in the after-hours chute and celebrate by cancelling all my inter-library loans (crazy times) but right now, right now, I just want to get out. I want to sit in a movie cinema and watch something awful and eat popcorn. Help.

Still writing that paper on Central Park, still feeling the love.

I Love Mr Mittens

We joked around fashion week that it was the dream team but it's starting to really feel that way. Who doesn't love working with their friends? Talisa, Rachel and I did this illustrated campaign for I Love Mr Mittens celebrating crisp, sugar-snap mornings, mugs of tea gripped with two hands and layer upon layer upon countless layers.

And just like that, I want long hair again.

city girl

the selby

When I think of New York I think of her. The friend who becomes family, the family who becomes friends. I think of being young and cold and really young. Of doing the stupid things you do when you're a teenager. Of sitting together on her fire-escape and dreaming big, wholesome, happy dreams while snow fell around us. Of eating Van Leeuwen ice cream by the barrel-load. Of catching the F train everywhere. Of no worries. Of tuna melts and pizza slices. Of getting lost, and she a local! Of laughing in drugstore aisles and wholefoods and her hallway and the corner of court and pacific. Of sweating the small stuff. Of apricot jam and camembert. Of reading lying on the floor, propped up on elbows. Of being so very, very young. Of feeling like it was all our playground, like it belonged to us, no, of knowing that it did. I wonder if we achieve our plan of living together in New York after university/college is over whether it will feel the same. I wonder whether you can really truly love a city like you do when you see it for the first time through the eyes of your best friend.
