DAY 1 OF 2014

POSSIBILITIES 
I'm so excited for this year. Re-doing my room, working, saving, spending, saving, reading, dreaming. I'm excited for driving, road trips, 17, gaths, people, running, walking, hanging, exploring, ITALY???, new years eve, beach days, winter fashion,  tidiness, happiness, sleepovers. I'm excited for completing a 3/4 subject, visiting art galleries, returning to art classes for another year. I'm excited for movie nights, good sleeps, good health. I'm excited for the next 365 days or so to come and they already seem promising. I'm so excited.

HAPPENING

The past few weeks of my holidays have included heaps of late night froyo runs, my friend's 16th, getting my L's (about 3 months late), shopping, exploring, eating, and a quick trip to the beach (in freezing weather). oH AND XMAS OF COURSE
For Christmas I received clothes, Alexa Chung's book "IT", Nike running shorts, money, vouchers, A T2 CUP AND HEAPS OF TEAS YAY and I think that's everything. 
Also, I happened to have gold class tix from last Christmas so I took my best friend Lu to village cinemas to watch "About Time" which is FRIGGEN AMAZING, absolutely must see if you haven't already. Such a great movie about your attitude towards life regarding happiness, etc. Life changing PLS JUST DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR AND WATCH IT TILL THE END. 
LATELY:

Shorts: Neuw// I'll show the tees inside in another post

Browsin for ideas

On my hunt to discover new designers//products//and super cool decor in general for my room, I came across some exciting things that I thought I'd share. 
First of all, if you have never visited The Design Files you are MAD. Go and check them out now for inside peeks into houses around Australia, interviews, art, craft, food, retail, anything really.
Also, on an ice-cream rampage with my friends, we happened to walk past a shop called Modern Times which offers some unique furniture and artwork. Although everything is quite expensive it's still inspiring to have a look around. 
From this shop I was exposed to artist Ellie Malin who creates beautiful prints! (Her prints were found on a range of Gorman's clothes this past season).
A few online stores to check out:

I hope you can find some things you love, too.

KEEPING A PROMISE TO MYSELF

Hello Blogspot! My name is Cat (Catherine) and I always swore I would make a blogspot when I got a Macbook, so go figure. So much has been happening recently and excitedly there are so many great things to come! 
Holidays started and I've been exploring with my dad, reading The Book Thief (really good btw), celebrating my brother's 18th and going for late night drives with him. He seriously is a gem of a brother and we've gotten really close this past year which is kinda awesome.
Anyway, so yesterday I turned 16 and finally received this awesome blogging tool (along with many other wonderful gifts) and spent a fab day with my closest friends whilst we picnicked it up in Carlton gardens, etc.   
I live in Melbourne, I constantly crave being close to the ocean, I'm obsessed with quotes, I go to an art class, I run, I love vampire weekend and generally my life is pretty full of fun    
enjoy,
