I'm absolutely in love with this photo of my great grandmother's beautiful garden in country Queensland. This was a childhood scene that my mother still often fondly recalls, so in some way I feel like it belongs to me also, even though I've never been fortunate enough to have visited this long-gone Eden.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It seems fitting to share it today as I thank my mother and all the
other strong women in my life for all their support, strength and love;including my dearly departed grandmother, nanna, and all those amazing ladies who came before them!</div>

2014 involved a lot of wandering, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel lost for much of it. It was a year of poor health, hard lessons and lost friendships, but also a year of amazing exploration and unerring support from loved ones and from a few unexpected corners too.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Despite the challenges and difficulties, or perhaps because of them, I'm determined to bring a more positive outlook with me into 2015.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here's to many safe and happy travels for the year ahead.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
A few years ago, in the midst of severe chronic illness (still ongoing), my domain name was poached away from me under extremely dubious circumstances - circumstances that my original provider is yet to fully explain or apologise for - I'm clearly not holding my breath!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the meantime however, I have sporadically asked for the 'going rate' on my very specific, quite undesirable AU$10 .com domain, and as of today I have been told it is <i>still</i> at more than AU$900.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So please, if you happen to have linked to my site or added me to your bookmarks, or even to have supported me at any stage in the past 8 years, please do NOT do so via thatunreliablegirl.com any further - my website now is <a href="http://thatunreliablegirl.blogspot.com/">thatunreliablegirl.blogspot.com</a> and I greatly, GREATLY appreciate every single visit and link. Please let the "owners" of my rightful domain see their stats drop daily, as they attempt to hold my domain to ransom.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you do not want to let the shady 'domain brokers' win, please also consider helping me by sharing this post and spreading the word to update any links, and sending the love to the rightful owner of the name.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am proud of what I have built up over the years and although I have recently been too unwell to keep the site going in earnest, I still hope to one day (soon!) relaunch it with all the energy, enthusiasm and inspiration I was once able to muster. I just need your help first! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thank you!</div>

It's been a little quiet on the blog lately as I feverishly try to pull together a million ideas into one "relaxed" party. This weekend is a fairly significant birthday milestone for me, and for the purposes of my vanity, let's just round down and pretend it's my 25th.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Next weekend I'll be having a party to celebrate/mourn the occasion, and quite frankly I'm a little scared. What if everything looks terrible? What if it looks great but nobody shows up? What if my attempts at cooking give someone food poisoning? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I truly wish I had the spare cash to outsource everything, from the styling and setup through to catering and drinks, but it's just not possible on a freelancers budgets.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So it's a DIY party-planned event by the most disorganised, anxious person in this corner of Queensland.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Wish me luck!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sometimes when I'm particularly devoted to procrastinating, I do things like this to hopefully amuse (but probably annoy) people from random corners of the internet. This time, it was a Twitter quote from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/brendanmacleanmusic" target="_blank">Brendan Maclean</a> that <i>spoke</i> to me. As soon as I read the words I thought, yes, that needs to be in white Helvetica on a blurred landscape background.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sorry Mr. Maclean. I had to. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Also, you're welcome. </div>

PS. The background image is a snap of a salvaged <a href="http://www.artnet.com/artists/alois-arnegger/" target="_blank">Alois Arnegger</a> print that adorns my desk now that I've finally come to terms with the slow and painful death of my desktop PC, and the resulting uselessness of my beautiful (and relatively new) monitor.<br />
<br />
PPS. Probably don't use someone else's photos and claim them as your own when you add a quote to them. Definitely don't add your own watermark to your appropriated image, and please, always do your best to find the original source and credit them accordingly!</div>

These two photos captured by <a href="http://megancullenphoto.com/" target="_blank">Megan Cullen Photo</a> at last week's <a href="https://semipermanent.com/event/brisbane-2013" target="_blank">Semi-Permanent Brisbane</a> event are a pretty perfect summary of two of the most powerful overarching themes of the day.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They may seem blatantly obvious, but the design industry is a challenging world and we often need these kind of 'commonsense' reminders. I do, at least - even after a decade in the design world.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another reoccurring theme was the importance of personal projects. Almost all the speakers touched on this in some way or another - pouring yourself into a personal project, expressing yourself in an unfiltered, unapologetic way (<a href="http://moffittmoffitt.com/" target="_blank">Moffitt.Moffitt</a>) and letting your work be your journal (<a href="http://m-i-s-o.com/" target="_blank">Miso</a>).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

It's easy to be overwhelmed by the sheer amount of knowledge and talent at events like <a href="https://semipermanent.com/" target="_blank">Semi-Permanent</a>, especially for a hermit like me who was too shy to rock along to the after party on my own, but I'll do my best to sort through my thoughts and impressions of the day and share them here with you next week.</div>

In the meantime, check out the great snaps, quotes and insights from other Brisbane attendees over on <a href="http://tagboard.com/SPbne2013" target="_blank">Tagboard</a> and/or <a href="http://seen.co/event/semi-permanent-brisbane-brisbane-australia-2013-3673" target="_blank">Seen</a> (where I'm a 'Top Source' - woo!) I was planning to take a lot of my own photos during the event, until I took a shot during <a href="http://www.benbriand.com/" target="_blank">Ben Briand</a>'s presentation and suddenly realised how awkwardly loud my phone's camera is, regardless of which app I used. I could swear the sound echoed!</div>

Anyhoo, watch this space for more SP goodness, and have a great weekend!</div>

I have a long-held fascination with forgotten, <a href="http://thatunreliablegirl.blogspot.com.au/search/label/abandoned" target="_blank">abandoned buildings</a>, so these photographs by Australian architectural photographer <a href="http://www.peterbennetts.com/" target="_blank">Peter Bennetts</a> appeal to me on many levels - precisely because what at first appears to be sprawling Babylonian ruins, or perhaps even abandoned coastal bunkers, are in fact an exciting new hotel currently under construction in Vanuatu.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The project in question is La Plage D'hôtel du Pacifique, designed by Melbourne-based <a href="http://www.kristingreenarchitecture.com/" target="_blank">Kristen Green Architecture</a> (KGA). The strong influences of both Louis Kahn and Le Corbusier are combined with references to ancient Roman architecture, and to my mind, the resulting design manages to be oddly at home in the tropical setting.<br />

<br />
The strong geometries are both complemented and softened by the timber herringbone fenestration on the windows and doors, and the boarded in-situ concrete walls, whilst appearing quite brutal and stark at first, will weather and age beautifully and gradually blend back into the surroundings (if they're not rendered or whitewashed, that is!)<br />

If you've ever bypassed drab landscape paintings at a garage sale or your local op shop, these cheeky altered artworks might make you think again. In a quirky departure from the <a href="http://www.artofthestate.co.uk/Banksy/Banksy_crude_oils_photos_001.htm" target="_blank">urban additions</a> made famous by <a href="http://www.artofthestate.co.uk/Banksy/Banksy_crude_oils_photos_001.htm" target="_blank">Banksy</a>, these monstrous alterations are a little bit whimsical, and sometimes just a little bit creepy too!</div>

Fulfil your annual dairy requirements with the amazing work by London-based photographer <a alt="Aurum Light [NSFW]" href="http://aurumlight.com/" target="_blank">Jaroslav Wieczorkiewicz</a>. According to the <a href="http://www.slrlounge.com/traditional-40s-pinup-photos-models-wearing-high-speed-milk" target="_blank">SLR Lounge</a> article, the pin-up inspired 2014 calendar will be available next month - pencil it in!</div>

The <a href="http://www.slrlounge.com/traditional-40s-pinup-photos-models-wearing-high-speed-milk" target="_blank">SLR Lounge</a> article also details the incredible processes involved in creating these retro works of art - and while it involves high speed photography and a decent serving of Photoshop, it also involves real milk being thrown onto the models. A lot.</div>

It's always lovely to have something to look forward to, especially when the week feels like it's puttering along. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Here's what's keeping me going this week (aside from the usual copious amounts of coffee, of course!)</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
As someone who is <i>still</i> without a drivers licence (don't judge me!) the very concept of road trips doesn't enter my thoughts often. Once someone even vaguely hints at the possibility of a road trip in the near future, however, there's little else I can think about.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A little trip to Byron is on the cards with my long-suffering best friend, and I'm a tiny bit on the excited side. I'm a very well-practiced passenger and practically a pro at sitting!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I haven't been to Bryon in <i>years</i> though, so any hints, tips and recommendations would be very gratefully received! (As always, coffee is my #1 priority, closely followed by delicious treats!)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yay!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
One of these days I hope to sort through the tens of thousands of photos I've taken, uploaded, then promptly abandoned across a range of computers and external hard drives.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the meantime, here's a little snap I took back in 2011 at the <a href="https://www.thetearoom.com.au/" target="_blank">Gunners' Barracks Tea Room</a> in Sydney. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Even on a toasty Spring day like today (36°C in Brisbane, even hotter in Sydney!) there's just something about the sight of a cup of tea that relaxes me (although an iced tea would be the more logical option, of course!)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Unreliable HQ relocated to Brisbane a little while ago (sans former-Mr. U >: ) and although I'll readily admit that sub-tropical summers are still incredibly scary to me (think of an entire city that feels like a sauna), I absolutely <i>love</i> springtime here.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The weather is blissfully warm, the skies are azure blue, and the humidity hasn't quite set in yet - not in earnest, anyway!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I especially love the jacaranda trees, with their explosion of purple blooms that slowly give way to glossy green leaves. They usually start blooming in September, which coincides with the exam periods for the major universities and has consequently given rise to the term 'Purple Panic' - also making me immensely glad my university days are well and truly over!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On a quick stroll through the inner-city suburb of Paddington yesterday, I wandered past this beautiful church that reminds me of the grand turreted houses peppered along the main street of Annandale, and I walked past an arbour of star jasmine - the scent transported me right into the back lanes of my old 'hood, Surry Hills, where entire terrace houses are enshrined in star jasmine and the perfume is nothing short of intoxicating.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Needless to say, I'm a little homesick for Sydney, but I'm definitely learning to love Brisbane. If only the beaches were closer!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What do you love about where you live? </div>

It's been a really big few days for me which translates into some big but super exciting deadlines next week - so I may have a work-filled long weekend ahead, but at least I can sit outside with my laptop and a nice cold drink! I'm actually looking forward to it!</div>
<br />
What do you have planned for the long weekend? (Or the plain ol' standard weekend if you've already had your Labour Day public holiday!)<br />

These stunning photos by <a href="http://www.luismonteiro.com/tatler-alek/" target="_blank">Luis Monteira for Tatler</a> may be three years old, they may have already done the rounds, and I'm fairly sure I've featured at least one of the images already. But today I just don't care, because they're so beautiful, they're inspiring, and as I've recently redoubled my efforts to hone my photography skills, they're particularly motivating too!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Everything about this shoot is utter perfection. The fashion, <a href="http://annabromilow.com/home/" target="_blank">the styling</a>, the locations, the <a href="http://www.selectmodel.com/portfolio.aspx?modelid=556766&subid=9256&mainsubid=9256&sexid=2" target="_blank">effortless model</a> with her <a href="http://www.premierhairandmakeup.com/galleria/hair/artist/richard_scorer.html" target="_blank">effortless hair</a> and <a href="http://silverbramham.com/" target="_blank">makeup</a>, the pretty pastel balloons, the soft blue skies.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

What's inspiring you this week?</div>

I'm <i>completely</i> enamoured by the high speed colour explosions of scientist and self-taught photographer, <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/weiphotography/with/8576659478/" target="_blank">Jon Smith</a>. The result of what I can only imagine is some very messy trial and error, Jon experiments with a camera, a pellet gun, and light bulbs full of materials ranging from layered paint and sand to sequins and feathers.</div>

A photo shoot for the May 2013 issue <a href="http://www.wmagazine.com/people/celebrities/2013/05/tilda-swinton-tim-walker-las-pozas-cover-story/" target="_blank">W Magazine</a> by <a href="http://timwalkerphotography.com/recent_work.php" target="_blank">Tim Walker</a>, featuring Tilda Swinton in a surrealist sculpture garden. Perfection.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The sculpture garden is <i>REAL</i> and it's called Las Pozas, located outside of Xilitla, Mexico - a place that I know exactly nothing about and plan to remedy immediately (starting <a href="http://www.wmagazine.com/culture/2013/05/las-pozas-edward-james-estate-cover-story/" target="_blank">here</a>!)</div>

Colourful confetti seems to be a theme this week, so I'm going with it. I've had a really interesting few days with some exciting opportunities presenting themselves, despite my overwhelming Awkward Turtle-itis kicking into gear, so fingers crossed for more colour, more unexpected beauty, and more good things.<br />
<br />
Speaking of colour, I've given <a href="http://www.thatunreliablegirl.blogspot.com/">THAT [unreliable] GIRL</a> a pastelicious mini-makeover to keep me inspired whilst I tinker away on an entirely new layout. I'd love to hear what you think!<br />
