One of the surprise highlights of our trip to Montreal was the Jean Paul Gaultier exhibition at the Montreal Museum of Fine Art. I snapped only my favorite looks, but there was sooooo much to see from this amazing designer. Even the Mister was impressed!

I've just been to visit my family in Perth to celebrate the 30th birthday of a very special person to me, my sister. In two weeks I'm be headed to the US to explore the cities of Chicago, Quebec, Montreal, Boston & New York. I have just resigned from an 'OK' contract role to take an exiciting permanent position, which I start the day after my holiday...jetlag, please be kind!

2011 as a year has been very good to me so far, but I do at times feel like I've bloody well earnt this happiness. In short, it's a work in progress this life of mine.

Today we took in 'Vienna' at NGV International - which was an amazingly diverse and inspiring exhibition. Follows of course by a quick coffee which stretched to a lovely lunch.

Now in its 90th year, the Archibald Prize is one of Australia’s oldest and most prestigious art awards. JF Archibald’s primary aims were to foster portraiture, support artists and perpetuate the memory of great Australians.

The winner, Ben Quilty's portrait of Margaret Olley.

And my favourite; Del Kathryn Barton's Mother [portrait of Cate] of Cate Blanchett & her sones.

she laughs out loud, sings off key and believes in taking chances
she is quick and curious and playful and strong
she lets her imagination run away with her
she has never been one to stick to convention
she is fond of daydreams that take her places
she can order a cocktail in six different languages
she feels that understated is overrated
