Dreams, lattes and chasing bunnies 

Me and Johny were suppose to shoot on Sunday but I had no idea about concept, I had my 'Emilia' dress tom Aje freshly bought in it bag. (I am currently obsessed with AJE, I bought two absolutely gorgeous pieces from summer collections and planning to get few more pieces).
I wore it with my Nero leather ankle boots second pair of the same design. 
I think the leather boots completes the kind of raw look, together with minimum make up ( a lot of Max Factor False Lash effect mascara and their light foundation with Alpha moisturiser) and messy bed hair.  I use Organix, Cherry Blossom Shampoo & Conditioner which keeps the natural slight wave and volume of my hair. 
We took a walk around Surry Hills, I changed into my Emilia dress in a bathroom of a cute little cafe. 
As soon as I changed into my dress I felt different.
We walked along the Riley street, then we saw this really cool restaurant with super creative decor in a white shady looking house, we took few shots there. Unfortunately I didn't catch the name as there was no signs and the restaurant was closed, only few guys moving the chairs. 

We walked further down just to discover  a beautiful cafe with flowers, plants and red wooden chairs. 
I went to order lattes and a beautiful Italian girl that looked like an actress took my order. 
We talked about our dreams and chasing them and for some reason about bunnies as we sipped our lattes. 
After Pasta Emilia, we walked around Surry Hills and found another spot to shoot. It was this little back street with gorgeous houses that look like from fairy tales. 
I specially loved the pinks house with red flowers. It looks like it's covered with cherry blossoms. 
I believe Surry Hills is a magical place. There are so many beautiful secret lane ways. streets and cafes. It's like chasing bunnies. You look for a place to shoot photography then you end up in a magical little street. It's like chasing your dreams. You chase it, you don't know what journeys await you. 
Lattes are my magical portion. It's like Alice in Wonderland. 












                                Meeting mr. Domo and becoming a Zen girl 

So, me and Justin Fox, the godfather of Zen Garage have been talking about shooting for a while. And it was finally happening..He said he likes his girls just in T-shirts and undies. I suggested I wear my white shirt that I bought in Capital L with this cute lacey undie from Chloe & Lola, he liked the idea. 
I prepared my stuff for the shoot the night before.  Then I headed to meet him after my day job. 
BOOM! I opened my kitty backpack, realised I never put the white shirt in it..
Luckily I took a spare Tshirt, one that I bought in Akihabara. 
I chilled and sat in his couch,  chatted with him while stroking and adoring Mia, (his beautiful grey cat girl). 
His house was a place full of inspiration. I liked almost every single object that he has in his house. 
He has really cool things like an Astro boy figurine, a robot collections and stuff. 
I love that! I plan to be a full on otaku one day and have this huge collection of manga, figurines and animies. 
Plus that he lives with Mia and Domo! 
His style of shooting was completely different from everyone else I worked with! But I found it so easy-going, relaxing and enjoyable. 
He can't shoot without music so he puts on some music then grabs his cool little camera, and we chat about things, about his Zen garage, Japanese culture our mutual fascination about things-Japanese and so many other things! 
Ok I should shut up now! I'm too excited about this shoot. Oh then I got to go to bed with Domo. 
Domo was so comfy, big and cuddly. I think I'd like to marry Domo. 
I actually think Hello Kitty and Domo would be great couple. 

Hmmmm..
