thoughtful ink

Everyone has their own reason for liking Freja Beha, mine doesn't really have much to do with

her beauty. Although she is undeniably gorgeous, heck she is a model after all!

But the main reason I respect Freja is for her unflinching desire for tattoos. I too, love a bit

of ink on skin, whether it be a meaningful one or something that simply looks beautiful. 

Typically models are meant to be a "blank canvas" so the designer can make them suit whatever

style their line is. So for a model to get tattoos, and as many as Freja has, I think that's

a beautiful thing. Because it shows that she's not afraid to be her own person and have it

permanently inked on her skin. Sorry for the super cryptic kind of post, I just saw a 

photo of her and it reminded me why I got my tattoo.

I recently picked up Fallen magazine and was delighted when I 

stumbled across the work of Emma Mulholland adorning their pages.

A born and bred Australian, Emma's designs are heavily influenced 

by her many years growing up on our wonderful beaches. 

Her most recent collection is inspired by Mexico and cactuses and 

colour are scattered over almost every item. 

Emma's works are so original I can't think of another designer like her.

Armed with a new hair cut and a slightly different sound, but still as lovely as ever, 

Natasha Khan is really making waves in the music industry. 

I've been a long fan of Bat For Lashes, and so far I'm loving what I'm hearing of 

their new album, The Haunted Man. Having her as a headline for St. Jeromes 

Laneway Festival just has me even more exited. 

She's even covered a Rihanna song, that just melts into your ears. But as if that's 

anything knew. Her voice has always, and will always, be one of those hauntingly

beautiful things. Let's just hope she never leaves the industry!

And here's one of her newies...
