Saturdays
Photography Ben Sullivan
Model: Francesca Fame
Exploring city streets, scouring vintage shops and flipping through travel books, she lures you away from home on her favourite day, her most inspired day... Saturdays.Spontaneous, wild, free-spirited and undone attitude, she is a quick-witted vagabond and she’ll swiftly seize your heart.The Saturdays girl dresses in rich layers of printed rayon, textured knits, distressed jersey and vintage denim -- she cinches satin ties around her waist, scarves in her hair and treasures vintage T-shirts dug up in flea markets.She wears florals from Mexico and paisleys from India. A worldwide aesthetic inspires her, she is edgy, electric, effortless and authentic.She’s on a mystified journey and she hasn’t even left the city...
Somedays Lovin -- an all-time favourite Australian label of mine -- have put together something really sweet for their Winter '13 campaign, Saturdays.
Not being a native of the city where I live, I know what it's like to wake up on a Saturday and think... where to today? What can I uncover?
But then... I remember the overwhelming delight of my teenage years being a traveller in my hometown -- with freshly minted driver's licences and beat-up learner cars, we'd drive down strange roads and across paddocks to find the best freshwater creek, the most secluded beach, a friend's cabin in the hills or a hidden op shop.
Exploring, learning and discovering... They're such important things to remember to do.
Oh, and the humming bird shirt with leather pants and low-cut boots? Damn right.

Keeping on with the flower thing... and the kinda-homesick thing... How beautiful is my sister, collecting flowers in my parents' garden last summer?
She also caught a mean bass (fish) while we were there, and helped dad wrangle a little calf that wouldn't drink from its mama.
I cannot wait to go back to the farm in July.

Whimsical prettiness is not really my thing (I don't think), but at the moment I'm just right into anything with flowers.
OK, maybe not the ubiquitous garish floral prints, but I'm really enjoying stealing flowers from my neighbours' gardens on late-evening walks. And setting up bouquets around the house, as long as Humble can't get at them (she had a pollen-stained snout for three days last week after she had a massive, messy flower party with the lilies in the lounge room).
Maybe I'm having a kind of winter-denial thing.
Whatever it is, it's damn cute-looking.

Tiny-sweet thing

I'll be back with some substantial updates and interesting things soon... There will be some serious business taken care of this weekend and I'll be organised again.
Free time is going to be radical.

The quiet in your mind Δ Memories of home Δ Worn shoes and new socks Δ A sleeping lover and a half-grown dog Δ Rabbit paws Δ Thistles, stolen late-blossoms and turning leaves Δ The opportunity to do whatever you want Δ
