reincarnate

With the cost of carnations booming off the richter during the wooly months, 

I've found myself in a prickle of a problem. One of the worlds most frowned upon flowers has now yelled back to the universe "im too expensive for you AND im not available" 
Bah humbud!    So I thought to myself, what other flowers do people hate? In search of the next most un-sort after flower, I stumbled across some poofs of babies breath.

Do I have bad taste? Or are you guys with me on this?

THE BREATH BOMB

And why would I stop at The Breath Bomb?  I wouldn't, I didn't.

Here we have Dangerous Dylan sporting -

THE BREATH CIRCLET

 she hated it

remember me

Oh my gosh! Remember me? Im sorry, Im still alive.. Are you still with me? Have you moved on and found another flower enthusiast to be friends with? Nooooooooooooooo!

I don't know where to start. Im going to blame the fact that I moved into my new renovation rescue house and have been without interwizz for a little while. And Im also going to blame the fact that ontop of my already dangerously time consuming addiction to nail art, I have a new addiction - to Kmart ( where else can you buy mascara, palm trees, wrapping paper and a toasted sandwich maker in one shop?!)  Im also going to blame the fact that I partnered up with IMG to be the official floral partner for Mercedes Benz Fashion Week. And lastly, Im going to blame the fact that I am really really loving our classes at the school and I spend hours each day being excited just thinking about it. 
So here I will show you a little photo diary of the wonderful things that have been keeping me out of your lives. 

bomb with me

I am currently suffering a post school bombing come down. I feel like all the fun in the whole world was put into one day. And now its just plain ol' Monday...

If you are new here, let me clarify- I didn't not bomb a school. Well I suppose yes I did.

'The School' is now open, with classes to inspire your creative cells to duplicate and quaglamate until your whole body is just one giant UHU glue stick. 

This Sunday from 10 - 12 we will be hosting yet another flower bomb class. So if you are in Sydney and have always wanted to bomb OR hang out with myself and the totally amazing glitter whisperer Megan Morton then jump on over here to book! NOW!

the school

Guess who became a teacher on Saturday? I DID! And I'm not even joking. 

The magnificently minded Megan Morton asked me to host the first ever class at the school so cool its not even open yet  - "The School"

On the agenda? Flower Bombs of course! Thirty Three style mafia representatives / explosive technician beginners made their way out to interior mega heaven located in Rosebery to clink champagne glasses and get bombdiggity. Of course I didnt take any photos because I was being being a TEACHER, so I have borrowed this teaser image from Vivian of ish and chi

I will be sharing more about the classes and the school shortly, but I just had to share this jazz hand worthy excitement with you immediately. 
PS- Loooooook!

THE WEDDING

Let me apologize. OK, IM SORRY. I went all the way to America and flowered my face off for 2 days to help make a very special day even more special, and did I take photos? 

No, not really...

My dear friend Lucy  became Mrs Aaron Rose on the 17th of March. We celebrated with the "Roses" at the home of super awesome outfit wearer and art collector Jeffrey Deitch in 

Los Feliz, LA. I dressed up like a marshmallow and Lucy wore a beautiful dress by Australian lovers - LOVER.  It rained, it snowed, the sun came out and then the moon took over and we danced away in a room that was so beyond totally cool man that I wont bother telling you about it. Luckily there were a few other people taking photos while I was busy not being thrown in the pool. Thanks Rambo Estrada, Terry Richardson and Imogene Barron- Im using your photos. And thank you Lucy and Aaron for letting me share a special day that will be forever remembered. 

 

The Wedding pt 2 will be posted soon! Keep your toes on!

express your shelf

Flowers can be used to express all sorts of words that you don't quite know how to say - 

I forgot your birthday, I'm a moron - Sorry heres some flowers.

Oh, congratulations you have given birth to a funny looking baby, heres some flowers to cheer you up

BUT WHY DOES IT ALWAYS HAVE TO BE IN BOUQUET FORM? 

And why cant you say bugger off with a bunch of flowers? 

Well maybe you can't, but I CAN! let me know if i can help you...

Good Mood Board

When the newest issue of Yen magazine came out, I went to the newsagent and made the lady cut the bundle of magazines open, I ripped it out of the plastic before I handed over the cash at the counter,I was sending out streams of embarrassing excitement. 
I was really excited to see it. WHY? Because I was in it..

Below you can see all of my special inspirasssi peices and some of my favourite work- 

I think the text is too small for you to read so you just have to go and grab a copy!
Buuut, if you really want to know what it says right now, it basically says 
I REALLY LIKE FLOWERS. you already knew that.

downtown

As part of the whole "taking over the world" mission that I am part way through 

I had to show my face at the Los Angeles flower market, just so they knew that they knew who was boss when the flower drum revolution revolutionized. kidding

I am reporting to you live from the flower markets in Downtown LA. I am here at the moment as part of a wedding spectacular. More about that another time. 

The houses of these flowers are SO BIG. Crossing over 2 blocks are neat stalls held by Ricks and Roberts and Robertas and it seems everything is in season. It is supposedly spring time here, (I've been catching glimpses of snow whizz around the hills)

so anyway we found on offer- ranunculus, freesias, sweet peas, hydrangeas, anemones, tulips and load of other fragrant things in eye blinding colours. i also  crashed into a few cherry blossom branches

On day one, I had with me the bride to be and on day two I had Bronwyn who was my floral assistant and trolley pusher for the day.  We managed to find bronwyn a green card husband and I found everything on my shopping list for the actual wedding.

I was sniffing around this stall here, when a waft of boronia made its way up my nose. 

"No, surely not, they cant be here, they are rarer than ruby sapphires!"  I exclaimed to no one. I followed my nose and finally my nikes hit a bucket full of boronia! And then I found Bronwyn in this flock of orchids. I felt like the queen of the discovery channel.
