REVIEW // SODA SWEETHEARTS



So yesterday was my birthday (woo! more on that soon!) But whats a better way to spend it than trying on these wonderful hair pieces from soda sweethearts. Soda Sweethearts is a newer hair piece company by the wonderfully sweet & talented Holly. Each piece is custom made with so much sweetness you can see it! Every flower is arranged thoughtfully and attached on back with felt and a sturdy large clip these babies are not going anywhere once placed in your hair!(just what i want hehe!) She has a new range of christmas pieces which would be perfect for the festive season! 

They came in a little box via snail mail, wrapped in pink tissue paper with a sweet lil note! The box made sure they came to their new home safely. And there was even a packet of fairy floss in there for me to  nibble on while writing this hehe.

She does custom orders too! so I'd swing on over as fast as you can and snap some of these cuties up!

I received three wonderful pieces by Holly, a lil orchard clip & two big flower arrangement pieces.

 The three beautiful pieces & the yummy fairy floss.



 This lil orchard clip is beautiful for everyday wear.

The first of the two larger pieces is this beautiful purple piece, i love the hint of whites.




 The second is this pink,orange,white and baby blue piece with large leafs to off set it, these colour work in harmony with each other and I think look amazing in my orange hair.
It actually suited my tea cake dress perfectly! I love when things match perfectly.




(How long has my hair gotten?? so great mermaid status here we come!)

DESIGN : Kitten around!

A little something I've been working on the past few months is a mock up iPad app, It's called Kitten Around GOMA. I had so much fun researching children's needs and designing the characters for this app.  I've uploaded it to my Behance where I will hold a lot more of my work in the future, a whole project from design aspects to details are up there now.

Adventure : Say cheesecake photography


As promised here are a select few of the wonderful photos from our couple photo shoot at the EKKA. These adorable photos were taken by the very sweet and talented Kimberley from Say cheesecake photography.  Her work is very beautiful and whimsical her edits are always so wonderful  and really suit the tone of the photo shoot. 

If you're from Brisbane or get the chance to shoot with her, take it she is such a sweetheart and seems to capture that moment you never want to forget.

Make sure to check out her facebook,
I'll 100% be getting another shoot with her sometime in the future. 


These photos really show how amazing my relationship with my partner is. He is not only my boyfriend, but he is my best friend. We can spend days just hanging out in the garage working on our own things or we can spend days going on adventures. He supports me through thick and thin, he helps me when i'm down and lifts me higher when I'm up. I love him to the moon and back and I'm so lucky for every day I get to spend with him in my life.












ps. I'm working on revamping my blog so stay tuned for some new little layout changes.

Commissions // Pollys parlour.


Spring is in the air! I'm so excited this winter was far too chilly. While I do love a cute cardigan and coats I'm looking forward to cute little bathers and sandals for sure. I'm so happy for the wonderful clients I have and as I get ready to take a break from commissions and go on holiday (first time since becoming a freelancer I'm taking time off so it's a big deal and I still feel weird not having my life all planned out for a few weeks it is scary hehe) 

The wonderful polly, asked me to design a fun logo for her new business. I love her twinkly nightie and pink hair rollers.

Ekka // Version 1.0


So one of Miss Nikki's favourite times of the year is August and thats simply for one reason, EKKA. The ekka is the Brisbanes Exhibition. It's 10 days of cows, rides, showbags and dagwood dogs! I even have a ekka themed kewpie tattoo on the back of my leg. This year I was lucky enough to go two times, one with my amazing boyfriend and then with mumma bear. So not to overload you all at once I will have 3 posts on the ekka, This one will be about Ben & I's time, the one with my mumma and the third is a special photoshoot edition Ben and I did with say cheesecake photography.

So Ben has never been to the ekka, So of course I was over the moon when I was the one who got to take him and show him around. I tried to fit in a slice of all the sections. We did sideshow alley, saw all the wonderful animals saw some cows get belly scathes and even ate a cheese toastie! We stayed for the night time show, which was a lot fun of monster trucks and bikes doing tricks and a sweet little girl asking when ben was going to marry me haha. Here are some of the polaroids from the day as well as a few other snaps. Stay tuned for Version 2.0 and all the wonderful photographs from say cheesecake photography over the next week and so!
