//I hope you all had a nice weekend.....A few links and things I loved from last week, normally I post this on a weekend as part of weekend link love type post, but I'll make up for it now...

• Have a peek inside the wardrobes of Melbourne creatives Kirra Jamison(who just won the Yen Magazine, Toni&Guy Young Australian Art Award ) and Beci Orpin
• 3 tips to improve your blog today via fat mum slim.
• Frankie Runway from LMFW. My favourite, so quirky and fun - look at those knitted cacti!
• The great blogging divide - the in crowd and the rest of us. Bit of a sensitive topic, but I feel Carly had some good points about where blogging has been heading lately and I do hope we can all remember why we started blogging and be true to ourselves.
• The Archibald Finalists announced.

I know, I know! It's already March and I'm only just getting around to blogging my January holiday photos! I had six whole weeks off, my longest break since uni days and when I got back I started a new job. So I think I have only just readjusted to my new life/work schedule.

I spent my break in four different states! Queensland, Canberra, Melbourne and Sydney visiting all my friends and family spread out over them all.  You can see my Holiday Photos Part 1 : Christmas & New Year and I still have a part 3 photos to blog from my time in Sydney.
