Skins #4

Playsuit: Bardot. Boots H for Hudson.

Took this Skins #4 pic on the way to L'etoile in Paddington on Saturday nght. If you are wondering the food was amazing. Entree was Duck Liver Parfait Foie Gras and Prune Jam. The other was Stuffed Quail and it's Egg, Parsnip Puree and Geape Jus. Main course was Pork Belly Confit, Crackling, Black Pudding, Clove Scented Jus. Desert was Creme Brulee with Almond Tuile.

The crackling on the pork belly was so good, sticks to your teeth type amazing. And the Creme Brulee is the best I've had. I really recommend eating there.

I just have to mention this for Felt. The male waiters were good looking blokes, all of them were French. So in a way I felt like I was back in France. haha. And I love it when they speak English, their strong French accents come through, too cute. My only criticism about the restaurant was the service of the female waitresses in our section. We waited a long time to be seated when we pre booked, we waited a longer than usual for our orders to be taken. I think their saving grace was the manager who was on the ball and kept reminding them of what to do. But all in all great food.... and eye candy.

people watching

...my job is very much all about people...talking to people...understanding people...influencing people...all day...everyday...

I find myself people watching all the time...I can't help it...its so amusing...watching how people interact...all the undeniable body language...you don't realise your actually doing it...it is a subconscious thing...

I am always on the road....so traffic is a daily struggle I have to contend with....I swear...I always bust people picking their noses...LOL...usually old men...but still...is it really that imperative to pick your nose?? Right then and there in that moment...don't be fooled by the perception of isolation and privacy in ones car...don't they remember that they are at a complete stop??? People are just such funny creatures...either that or I am just easily amused...*beams*

Doing what I do....I need to be observant to these kinda things...ques and so forth...but I just find it so amusing to watch people...you can tell when people are lying to you...when people are confused...when people are not listening...when people just don't give a flying sh*t....all that stuff...

If you pay attention people can give away so much without even realizing...I am quite evasive...can seem outwardly very happy but my insides would be in complete turmoil...thank goodness those happenings are few and far between...only my family and closest of friends can actually see what the hell is going on...and besides because they know me so well...no point in even trying to lie to them...which is a good and bad thing within itself...LOL!

Pay attention...people watch!!!

There are some people, who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into the other.

- Douglas H. Everett

I think, therefore I am.

There is a power that lies in decisions that we sometimes forget to acknowledge. I decide what I eat today. I decide what I drink today. I decide what I do today.

I choose to eat this ben and jerry's amazing melt in you mouth cookie dough ice-cream. I choose to drink this soy carmel latte. I choose to laugh out loud and smile from ear to ear. I choose to go to work. I choose who I work for. I have choosen my path in life. Sometimes I don't have to do anything...I forget that sometimes. I don't have to do anything...I don't want to do.

We don't have to hit the gym to burn off indulging on that mouth watering cookid dough ice-cream or soy carmel latte. We don't have to smile at anyone...we can choose to sulk and moan and complain about every little thing that isn't going our way or going exactly as planned....we don't have to go to work...heck...we don't have to even get out of bed!!! You know that what I am saying is true!

Believe in yourself, in others, in the power of your dreams. No one else will believe them...in you...if you don't! You choose who you listen...you choose who to talk to...you choose who and what you fill your life with...you choose what success looks like...only you can choose the life you lead...

You think therefore You are.

I think therefore I am.

Princessdom

Once upon a time...

there was a princess named Felt....who found a frog...and kissed him in hopes that he would be transformed into a prince....but nothing happened...he was still a frog...she realised she will just have to wait for her prince to come...should he ever come...he is probably stuck in traffic...AND TO STOP KISSING FROGS...but until then she will party up and party on...!!!

The be continued....*beams*

I have to admit that being a princess is well...fun!!!

You have to look the part, act the part, live and breathe princess...BUT as the world renowned and obviously wise and defender of good from evil Spiderman once said "with great power comes great responsibility".

I have a gazillion calls to make, negotiations to deal with, business relationships to build, so much blood, sweat and tears sometimes have to be shed...sometimes it's a walk in the park...other times not only are you all up in their business, it can be like your pulling teeth!!

I am, to put it frankly really enjoying my new role, though I can be and am proud to be and am renowned to be all princess like, I do get my butt kicked and am kept in line...as and when needed!! And trust me I am such a cheeky little sh*t sometimes..just to see exactly what I can get away with...LOL...it's all part of the charm!! I tell ya!!

We share a few jokes at work...there was a day where a client had made me wait 15 minutes to see him....YES...15 WHOLE MINUTES...I called my boss...saying something along the lines of....should I really have to wait any longer?? HELLO TIME IS MONEY!! hehe to which he replied...hold on....your not a princess....you've graduated to queen...just wait...ill just have to some people to come throw rose petals at your feet...so nowadays thats stuck with me...so when I do get up in their grill and princess like...the whole rose petals thing comes into play...

I love my bosses...they are so much fun to work with...though i do have quite a stressful job...we have a great laugh...till we cry...one of the main reasons I decided to work for them...is they have the entrepreneurial mind set...building their business from scratch...it is fascinating to watch....hopefully ill absorb a little something something from them...or some of that entrepreneurial genius will rub off on me....hopefully the knowledge, experience and skills that my bosses are imparting on me...will be more than useful in Maybel and I's quest for WORLD DOMINATION...LOL...gotta keep your eyes on the prize people! *beams*

My boyfriend calls me princess, but I think of myself

more along the lines of monkey and retard.

- Alicia Silverstone

Haha gotta love Alicia Silverstone...she is such a ditz...haha...BUT my thoughts exactly...

Anywho....hope you find your happily ever afters!!

I JUST WANT TO TOUCH THE SKY

So Lovers and Friends...

Hope life has been treating you all well...since I haven't blogged properly in a lifetime of light years...be ever ready for one hella long post...you have been warned *beams*

I just got back from dinner with a few friends and I really really have to share with you this story...one friend let's call her Bella...is soft spoken, shy, warm, friendly and just an absolutely gorgeous girl...she told me about how she in all seriousness believes that one day...she will be walking down the road with books in hand and due to her utter clumsiness will drop these books on the floor...as she starts to pick them up a complete stranger will come to help and their hands would ever so lightly touch, she would look up to see who this helpful person is and as their eyes met, they would just know...in that very instant that theirs was a love that would stand the test of time...so romantic right?? *wink*wink* It just makes for such beautiful "how they met" story, it's the stuff that movies are made out of...highly unrealistic...BUT I guess you never know...Life has a way of surprising you...It could happen...Bella is beautiful...the love that she could only have dreamed of will find her one day!!!

I have had a very very very strange wake up call. Have you ever found yourself giving someone else advice....profound advice...life altering...maybe not that drastic...but really great advice...then listening to yourself and realising...why am I not following my own advice?? My own profound advice...life altering...maybe not that drastic..but really great advice??

Sometimes it is so hard to see the situation for what it truly is because you are right there, in and amongst it, its just so close to you, so close to your heart...and I for one am completely guilty of being completely oblivious and blind to things...my family and my closest friends...who give me the best advice know that I when I have decided on something no matter how bad it is for me, I will not listen to a word they say...in one ear out the other...actually I do listen I just don't adhere to what they are saying...even when they are making complete and utter sense...I just refuse to see the light even though the light is threatening to blind me...haha...

Love is not a feeling it is a decision. A conscious decision that you constantly make, day in, day out, through the good and the bad, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and health till death do you part...man I have watched to many chick flicks LOL

OK so totally going of tangent, kinda...I didn't write for awhile because I had all these negative feelings and was just feeling a little sad...not a sadness that was in your face...just this tiny lingering emotion that wasn't too evident..it just kept lingering...it was just there...and no matter how tiny it was...the more I paid attention to it...the bigger it got...

I just want to touch the sky...

maybe that simply put means be happy...but you and I both know that happiness is also a decision....we decide what we think about...what we focus on...which leads to how we feel...I don't know if I'm making any sense to you but I'm making complete and utter sense to me....so therapeutic blogging...just gotta love it...so now this burden of negative crap has been lifted through a series of conversations about my not understanding how stupid the situation is, and my steadfast stubbornness and pure non-application of common sense from family and friends, also through the sharing of other peoples problems...other people have a lot bigger problems than I do...a whole lot more to think about than I do...have a lot less than I have...I guess I'm back to my more appreciative state...feeling very blessed to have such great relationships with my family and friends...I really am lucky...I seriously have nothing to be complaining about...I just have to chill the #$% out...and just breathe...

In regards to work...in this new job...I am a complete and utter princess...no joke...I am so very hard to handle...so demanding...so impatient...so determined...so blunt...so cocky...because I am so worth it...and I can get away with it LOL See this attitude seems to work for me...

It's weird because with the whole love thing...when I actually care about the person...I am a complete door mat...no joke...so easy going...maybe too easy going...so trusting...so patient...so easily taken advantage of...if I ever got to that stage...I am completely different to my work persona....like complete other side of the spectrum....I just...I just don't get it...and its totally not working for me...but that is only when I actually like the person...when I don't care and I don't like the person...I'm my work persona which seems to work....this...this just completely boggles my mind...if you figure it out...please please please let me in on it...I'll be your best friend haha

Well one can only laugh at oneself....Live and learn...let's hope I learn...HAHA

I just want to touch the sky...

As of lates...I have had this growing feeling of positivity...maybe its because im setting goals...maybe its because the whole negativity thing has been lifted...I have no idea...but I have decided that I like this feeling and I shall let it continue to grow and flourish within my world...

A fair few amazing things are happening right now...work is going great and I can see really big things starting to enfold but that isn't it...or maybe that's part of it...family and friends are amazing...I am truly blessed...but that can't be completely it...maybe it is in the reaching for the sky....maybe that is it...

I just want to touch the sky...

Horrible gloomy Sydney weather calls for fresh spring flowers, a good book, pretty plaits, mellow yellow dress, warm wraps, appropriate clothing for the rain and pensive moods. I hope this weekend's weather won't get you down.

Paris and Sofia Coppola

EF - Live The Language - Paris from Albin Holmqvist on Vimeo.

Some of the things I Love; Sofia Coppola and Paris. The fact that her partner is Thomas Mars from super awesome band, Phoenix, and the fact that she lives in Paris, is the icing on the cake.

I was having a conversation with my boyfriend how different cities/countries have a specific light to them, like it's own perosnal glow. Paris has a soft hue to it during summertime, it's quite beautiful really. Sort of like when the sun is low in the sky and everything you look at is so flattering and amazing. Do you feel the same way about certain places? Or am I just crazy?

Meanwhile, how rad are the EF International Language Centre ads. They also have some for Barcelona and London (two other cities I hold dear to my heart).

Never give all the heart, for love

Will hardly seem worth thinking of

To passionate women if it seem

Certain, and they never dream

That it fades out from kiss to kiss;

For everything that's lovely is

But a brief, dreamy, kind delight.

O never give the heart outright,

For they, all smooth lips can say,

Have given their hearts up to play.

And who could play it well enough

If deaf and dumb and blind with love?

He that made this knows all the cost,

For he gave all his heart and lost.

Never Give All The Heart- W.B Yeats
Currently reading Yeats collected poems and thought I'd post this one, seeing we are on the subject of love.

Funny

LOVE IS GREAT!! whether it worked or it didn't...at least you felt alive right? Even for those few moments...
It does suck at times...but at the end of the day...you can lick your wounds and fight another day...hopefully for someone worth fighting for!! *beams*

PEACE OUT!!

AUDREY KAWASAKI

In all honesty peoples...I love her work...she is just so absolutely amazing and talented beyond measure...when I do get the pleasure to see these art works in person...I don't think you EVER could tear me away...

her images are so... hypnotizing...there is this mystery to them....a sadness, an ache, a loneliness maybe? Maybe longing...maybe isolation...maybe lust in some...Captured on a canvass...so very hard to explain...but so strange and beautiful to see...thank you Audrey!! Great art indeedy!

Much Love

XO Felt

sorry have been neglecting you...luckily for me, my partner in crime Maybel has been on the ball...have had so much on my plate...very busy juggling a new job...studying...decisions...decisions...endless decisions...what I want versus what I actually need...something is bound to give...whatever will be will be...BUT if it's meant to be it's up to me...am I right? Or am I right??

Going through a rough patch I thinks...not a biggie...just feeling a little stuck...a little lost...not liking these feelings at all...I guess it's normal even healthy...self evaluation and analysis is a good thing...I'm sure...it can only lead to growth...am I right? Or am I right??

I shall be writing more frequently!!!

Anywhos....that is all....for now *beams*

3 guys, 44 days, 11 countries, 18 flights, 38 thousand miles, an exploding volcano, 2 cameras and almost a terabyte of footage... all to turn 3 ambitious linear concepts based on movement, learning and food ....into 3 beautiful and hopefully compelling short films.....

I love reading this tumblr! Felt posted a few in the past. It's sort of sad how some men have lost their gentlemen ways.

Skins #3

Fur, always a tricky subject. I bought this bad boy from a Bri-a-Brac store in Katoomba. Katoomba quite possibly has the raddest vintage stores in town. They had the most amazing furniture, clothing, books and nic nacs. One place also sold original ACDC rock photography images, rad. I would love to own an emporium one day.
