The early bird catches the worm...


The other morning I actually sprung out of bed with such eagerness and gung-ho and it was 4.30am! Yikes! I was excited.. I was off to hit the flower markets! 
I actually don't get to the flower markets as often as I'd like to, so any time I do, it's always special. 

If ya haven't been to the Sydney Flower Market before, let me tell ya, its pretty spectacular. 
While most of us are still ZZZing in bed at 5am, the day is already underway at the markets. It's rowdy and there are people buzzing about everywhere. It's another world. An absolute feast for the eyes and nose. I especially love the hustle and bustle of it all. It's so alive and magical and I'm always surprised how everyone is so friendly and chatty so early in the morning! 

Thursdays aren't a big market day so it was really chilled, which I didn't mind. It was a great chance to have a good old nosey around, without rushing.
I was reminded about flowers that I had completely forgotten existed or hadn't seen since last season. And there's always something I've never seen before.
This trip to the market was just for fun. I wasn't after anything in particular or buying for a special occasion. Just for myself really and whatever took my fancy.

Oh boy did I find some goodies! 

Highlight of this market visit: Errythang, but esp. dwarf pineapples and hanging amaranthus.
Low: Wearing white converse! Doh!

"The earth laughs in flowers."

Just wanted to share some colour with you all...

Maybe you've already seen this (it is a couple of years old now) or maybe you haven't..
SONY created the dopest marketing campaign for their 4K TV and created an explosion of colour over a town in Costa Rica, with 8 million flower petals erupting from a volcano!
It is totally epic! Ultimate Flower Power!!

It made me think of this quote...


"The earth laughs in flowers."
                              - Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Palm trees & warm breeze

All this rain here in Sydney at the mo and the fact that summer is now officially over has got me dreaming of an island getaway.
I'm an absolute sucker for anything tropical (even when it comes to the whole pineapple on pizza debate, yep I'm down for it!)
Tropical blooms are so fun and vibrant and quirky! I love 'em! To me they're all about good vibes and sunshine! They whisk me away to an imaginary paradise, to the palm trees and warm breeze. 


Here's a lil TROPICOOL inspo for your hump day!! A few of my absolute faves...
