Cape Schanck
Cape Schanck is a locality in Victoria, Australia. It is the southernmost tip of the Mornington Peninsula and separates the wild ocean waters of Bass Strait from the slightly calmer waters of Western Port. The most recognisable symbol of Cape Schanck is the Cape Schanck Lighthouse. The lighthouse was built in 1859 and was the second lighthouse built in Victoria.[2] A prominent rock outcrop is Pulpit Rock and stands out at the very tip of the cape. (text : wikipedia)

Megan Morton: Science of Styling
I've admired Megan Morton's work for a long time. She is one of Australian prolific stylist, works with atmospheres and interior. She's been featured in the pages of Vogue Living, Inside Out and In Style and on the covers of international publications; Elle Decortation UK and Vanity Fair. I was very excited that I had the chance to attend one of her Melbourne Roadshow program: Science of Styling Masterclass yesterday at Small Giant.
Here a few quotes from her presentation that I really likes and and would like to share:
"I am going to make everything around me beautiful - that will be my life." Elsie de Wolfe
"No amount of money can buy you style. It's just instinctive. You can't try to be somebody you're not; that's not style." Iris Aprel
"The best stylist don't have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything."
There are fun courses being run each day this week by a host of Australian talents. Visit The School website for the program, be quick because all are booking out fast.

Albert Park Lake
The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes (butdoesitfloat). I have a relationship with this space, Albert Park Lake, Melbourne. Here's a place where I spent my morning for jogging. Its difficult to resist not stoping my step to take some pictures. Those beauty bring me happiness, relaxing my eyes from busy metropolitan views.
Recap 2012
I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for all your kind support this year! Your likes, tweets, reblog, blog posts, emails and any kind words have made my art feel more loved. 2012 was truly another good year for me, I had the opportunity to do crazy shit that I want to do before I die, I also got involved in lots of inspiring projects and travel abroad to few countries. I'm looking forward to achieving more good things in 2013. My new years resolution is to stay longer in this country, get a full time job, involved in more crazy art projects and chase more dreams. I hope everyone has a wonderful New Years Eve and safe holiday season!!! AYEE!!
