Life in Sydney so far part 2..

 I would like to share with you what I have encountered the time I have been in Sydney.
Well Look!! There's a store called Katies!!! In err.. I can't really remember.. I will try and find it.
Ok yeah, I tried looking for it on google, and didn't have any luck. Found a lot of Katies baking and stuff.. hmmm. Oh yeah, this was my 2nd day in Sydney when Peter took me around the City :)

But hey it was cool!

 Ok, take 1.. Too Windy! Hair in the way!

Take 2, still windy but hey getting there. My dress is flying up too, trying to hold it down

Take 3. Beautiful wave in the background. Not sure about me tho, It was so windy can barely see!

GADS! Cockroaches

Ok, so first time I had a cockroach, it was in my room! and I panicked. So grabbed a cup and caught it! WOO! 2nd time, big ass one came in through the door, and I totally squished it with mags. ( mags as in magazines, not like .. proper mags) 

Size of this beast! I watched it for like 30 mins making sure it doesn't escape! bluergh..

To double make sure it doesn't get out. I stacked my book and another cup to secure it. Take that cockroach! Oh and the black thing next the cup is a cockroach trap. Not really sure how it works, think if a cockroach eats it then like it dies. Or something.  But it was MINGIN!! 

Think I had like.. 6 cockroaches altogether. 

One time!! I was watching Tv, and I heard rustling to my right, near the kitchen. I got freaked, so I grabbed the cockroach spray turned on all the lights. Walked into the kitchen holding the spray like this.

I was watching Lost at the time, so I think its relevant to use Kate in this haha! But yeah. Holding my spray, and the beast was right next to me! I swoosh round and sprayed the thing!! Totally shot it. And yes it died.

Memories in Sydney

It was Lorraine's Birthday! So we surprised her with a cake a mini gifts! 

Yummy Green Tea Latte

I was like in shock when I seen this, I mean come on! Double decker train!! I thought it was cool. And it is still packed! Crazy.

Can you spot Christopher here? We just finished the Easter Service at Hillsong, seen these people do their stuff, and Chris joins in. He never fails to make me laugh haha! Easter service was amazing. I'm gutted that I won't be here for Hillsong Conference.
At the Easter Service, it was literally like a concert. Even though it was like a rock concert, I was still emotional.

Sorry Christopher, I stole ya photos :P
But hey! These are memories to me too!
Me and Chris did the Bondi to Coogee walk. ( when I first seen Coogee, I thought it was congee)

Amazing Views and sucha relaxing walk.

Fashion Events

It's Jennifer Hawkins! 

Jennifer Hawkins is so HOT and such a nice model. This was at an event at Myers, where she was interviewing other aussie designers, think one of them spoke to us, but I didn't know who it was haha! But yeah Really nice stuff and she was really nice. Check her site!



I took some snap shots at Sydney Fashion Week backstage.
The models weren't here yet, so I couldn't take pictures with models. They are always late, but hey! It's the fashion world.
Such a good collection though, gutted I'm not here to see it go in production

These shoes are stunning, but I don't think they are that comfy. They feel amazing tho.

 B&B Chrysler heels come in different colours.

Until Next Time..

Life in Sydney so far...

Hey all! Man, I miss my blog.
Sorry, no internet in the house! Been coming to the library to use the net.

So.. Sydney...
What can I say..

You ARE this beautiful... But.. Your not for me. 

I just want to thank God for sooo many things. 

I am alive and well in Sydney. People around my work are getting this bug, and are coming up with something. I am totally fine. 

Speaking of work, my first internship. Thank you God. I have heard so many things about how designers treat their interns, but Bec and Bridge are so nice. I am so blessed to have such nice people around me.

I thank you for the place I am staying in. Providing me shelter. First flat showing and I took it straight away. 

So handy too! Only 15 mins on the bus to my work, and 15 mins walk to the City. Most importantly, just 10 mins walk to Hillsong city Church.

I am staying in Redfern, and when I tell everyone this, they always say "Be careful, its dodgy." " Watch out." and so on. I thank you God for protecting me. I've not seen any dodgy people around me. So yeah thanks for keeping them away from me haha! But to be honest... When people say its dodgy, its not as dodgy as Glasgow or Motherwel. So I'm not afraid. Knowing that You are looking after me :)

You are just amazing in what you do. 

And yeah so... I've not really taken any pictures. I am lazy. 

Sydney is great! But it's not the city for me. I don't fit well here. 

People don't understand me, they think I'm Irish. 

Urm.. Everything is pricey, it's so expensive to do anything in Sydney. Especially the rent! Wherever you stay in Sydney its so expensive to live here! If you want cheap, then you share a room. and thats still like.. 90quid a week. 

Another thing I dislike, Everything is slow. The fashion is slow, technology is slow, banks are slow. I don't think I could live here in future. 

You do get paid more here, I get paid $25 dollars an hour worth of clothes. So I worked in the weekend and I got $586! now thats a lot to spend on clothes. This works out to be.... £300 odd or something?

And working here is relaxing. They are relaxed about things, I guess thats why they are a tad slow. But oooh! I shall show you what I have!

I have this dress, not this jacket, the fluff goes everywhere, but it is warm and comfy

got this dress cause I'm going to a wedding in October!

I have this in Navy colour. Wore this to Sydney Fashion week.

I've got this denim shirt! Such a good design

Yep! I have this Batille pants, I mean trousers

My last buy. Is this Bastille Jacket. Stunning right?

Working at Bec&Bridge has been great experience for me.
First time working backstage at big events! Sydney Fashion Week!! It was so fun! The collection this year is so strong. Check them out!

And then came Sydney Fashion Weekend. Now was that hectic!! We had a lil store, to sell last season stuff, working in retail again. So many people! Bec&Bridge were always really busy!
Check it out.

Working in Bec&Bridge Studio gives me an insight what Designers do backstage. They were very stressed when Sydney Fashion week came, but it was a huge success, and they had a lot of good press. 

It is fun working there, I get to know how it all works, how they dispatch their stuff to boutiques and stores. How they make their garments. I get to help cut the fabric for them to make. So yeah, I got to learn more about fabric cutting! Been sewing lil things for them too! So I say I am better at hand sewing.. ish.. 

I get to work with DANT. Fashion accounts thing. Man is that thing annoying, lol! But.. it keeps all the information you need about every store that buys Bec and Bridge. So yeah, it gives me an idea what you need to be a designer. So much work. 

I am having fun in this wonderful City. 

Until next time
