You gotta giggle!

Do you have a friend or a few who whenever you hang out with them you forget about being serious and just laugh your arse off..well I'm lucky to have a few and man I cherish them...

Sometimes life kicks you in the arse and to be honest there really isn't much you can do except find the fun, brush it off and just laugh...i learnt that lesson again on the weekend..and my friend Karen just started laughing at my misfortune

(my bag was stolen&then i got to the airport and realised i had booked the wrong flight!) at first I was a little taken a back by her laughing but as i look back she was doing me a massive favour&she taught me a massive lesson - because what else could i do..I may as well get happy, laugh and let it go! And what do you know my bag showed up a few days later!

There is always a lesson and i am so grateful to have some funny friends to see me through

BATTLE SCARS

I have just finished reading the Alchemist by Paulo Coelho and my god is it an amazing book! It really resonated with me and made me realise a lot of things about life and chasing your dreams..the Author refers to it as 'One's personal legend'.

He also talks about 'beginners luck'..when you start to follow your dreams/your personal legend you will always experience beginners luck, something great happens, it works - to let you know you are on the right path and give you a little lift..but as you proceed things won't be so easy and there will be many challenges along the way and you will feel like giving up, I know I have, many times - perhaps it's the Universe asking you how much you want this?

It will be tough, there will be battles to fight, you will be wounded and wear the scars..but it's those scars that are the true testament to your courage and how hard you fought for what is rightfully yours - if you could just hold on. The reward will be your treasure and it may not be what you expect....

So welcome your challenges, fight through the fog and stay strong and focused on what your heart desires. Wear you scars with a knowing smile. Keep fighting sexy soldiers!

Check out the quote from the book below...

'Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself.

And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams'.

LITTLE DRUMMER GIRL

This is the cover of my look book for my new collection

'Battalion of the Brave'.

The shirt is a vintage scout shirt that belonged to my Mumma and the velvet shoulder pads are part of the new range.

I love this image so much! I feel like it says alot about who I am and what is intrinsic to me.

I feel it shows what I hope to make women feel, while inadvertently doing the same for myself. It shows softness, femininity and a childlike quality yet it is sexy, sultry and strong. Everything I hope to be as a women and everything I wish for all women out there.

The model is my beautiful and intelligent friend Michelle - she's so humble and elegant yet crazy beautiful and doesn't even know it - which is kinda nice that she doesn't realise her power but hopefully she does after reading this! She's a real woman and I think her beautiful energy shines through in the image.

As women, we need to find that perfect balance of still being soft, feminine and vulnerable but not a push over...I think women need a bit of grunt, masculinity and a take no prisoners attitude, we have to love and believe in ourselves - we need to guard our hearts and fight for what we believe in and most importantly honour what we want and deserve.

Pave your own path and beat that mother fucking drum however you see fit girl! Turn up the volume and Sing your song!

Happy Monday xx
