Headspace update

It's been a while since I've blogged, and there's been such a lot going on, I thought it might be nice to get it all out here.

So, I have made some inroads to becoming a stylist. I have done some assistant styling with a great operator Renee Brown. She's a fashion stylist, very well established in Melbourne and I was lcuky to help her put five shows together for the Loreal Fashion Festival. It was great fun, although to be honest, I'm not thinking that fashion styling is really my thing. Dressing models can be a hoot and all, but I am thinking of doing something a bit more... sustainable.. substantial? Not really sure of the right word here.

Then I assisted an amazing stylist and designer Alez Zabotto-Bentley in putting on a massive event for Vodafone at a bar called the Lexington in the city. This guy has an endless well of energy to cast from, and I really learned to keep my eyes open, that I need to develop an intimate knowledge of my surroundings and to keep commited to the vision at all times. I was very lucky to be working with him, a little beyond my experience level at the moment.

Still, it would be nice if he paid me.

I am now starting work with Kim Hallis. She styles apartments and houses for re-sale and has a massive warehouse full of furniture and furnishings to do her work. She seems pretty amazing too, although it's early days yet.

My savings are dwindling considerably and I really need to secure a reliable income. That is my objective for this week - I imagine it will involve some customer service, maybe f+b, but maybe not. I am turning lots of stones.

Other than that, I am in good spirits. Look, I have good days and not so good. Days when I let the financial concerns get the better of me. But I am trying to just live normally, trusting that the universe will look after me, and that I too, will not let myself hit redundancy, just as I won't let myself get out of shape.

In the middle of all it all is uni. I love it, it is keeping me sane. No small task...
