My friends may say I am loopi and lusty. I think I am complicated enough to make me interesting. I am self confesed trend watcher and style-ist!...this Blog is all about supporting local and upcoming talent & all the things I love doing in the hope that my stories will have a positive influence in your life or at least cheer you up. I will sometimes include some pretty pictures for you to enjoy together with what is now known as "Kati-isms" or "Spanglish".
The end of the roll…
A lot has happened since my last post…My Chile had a earthquake and thousands of people have lost their homes and many their lives. Inevitably when things like this happen we start to think about our lives and how little time we have to enjoy life.
These are the last few pictures from the last phtoto shoot for you to enjoy.

Parte Numero 3
Today we had a stock take at work I am amazed on how fast they can be done. I still remember the days when I used to work at Sportsgirl (as a teenager) and we had to hand write each code and count each item manually. These days and thanks to modern technology we are able to get it all over and done within a couple of hours. Yey for us!
I wish I had such a little gadget here at home so I could go trough all my items to help me get rid of some of the clothes I am sure I have never worn or have not even had a look at for ages…a home stock-take system where emotions or attachment to clothes is not allowed.
Anyway back to the unoform project…
The next set of pictures is probably one of the combinations I would wear the most to work…mainly because most of the belts at work are black bold feature belts. As you know I love matching my belts to my shoes and I think you would agree that the combo is a winner!
The shoes are from Urban Soul…god I miss the Bank Street sales! They used to be on every few months and all shoes where on sale at super cheap prices. I probably would not wear the boots to work…as you can see from the pics I had to take them off and put some cool low shoes back on.
That’s it for now…I hope you enjoy and look forward to the next update!

Loopi’s Uniform Project Part 2
So here I again with my Cue little cute lime green dress again. This time I used my other favorite combination…navy blue. I got the navy blue and flower pattern “I Love Billy shoes” sometime ago while shopping in Bungalow with my old friend Kylie from Kylie Gartside jewellery. I wish I wore them a bit more often…not only are they the cutest shoes I have they are super comfy (but you don’t have to drive all that way to get I love Billy shoes as I recently discovered that Izabel at South bank also stocks them)
I got the scarf from my mum…I think I may have mentioned before that she does volunteer work at St Vinnies in West End when in Brisbane and she always brings home the coolest little things for me to mix and match. The belt…hum 100% leather and made by jag.
Next…
The next combo is a little OTT for some but if you know me well then you know that I would have zero problem catching the 196 bus wearing this and maybe a few more accessories…
I love red, lime and navy and I love-love my poker dotty dress I got for mothers days from Jorge a few years ago…the combination POPS! and one of this days I may just wear it but maybe not to work…the head peace I got from Myers and the best bit about it is that it can also be worn as a brooch…love the multi-purpose accessories.
The little red beads are also from st Vinnie’s and as you can see Ian and I got a little carried away having a bit of fun with some of the shoots…
So there you have it…part two done. The best bit about the dress is that is super low maintenance and after wearing it on Monday for the photo shoot I put it in a laundry bag and wash in on the delicate cycle of my washing machine and Voila!
Hum that’s all for now…I think you would agree with me in saying that Ian did fantastic work with the pics. I must go and put something together to wear to the festival tomorrow but stay tuned for Monday’s upload of the final section of my version of the uniform project…

One Monday night…
Inspired by the uniform project’s Sheena Matheiken I set myself a little challenge and together with my parter in crime Ian we set up a makeshift photo studio set and took some cool pictures for you to enjoy…
The materials: One Cue new seasson lime green dress, one cannon EOS 5D camara , one manfrotto tripod, one Ikea light, 3 sets of white sheets and a few of my favorite accesories…huh and the “charge” bike!
The result: over 200 pictures with 38 final shoots! way too many to put in one single blog so for the next few days I will take you trough the diferent styles and belive me there is a few.
My aim for the challenge was to see how many times I could wear this dress in one week without feeling like I am acctually wearing the same thing over and over…as you know I have a new job and its super important to be able to wear our clothes while at work to maximise brand exposure and to be able to share our love of the Cue clothes with our customers…
So my first combination is red and lime…I paired my lime dress with my vintage red belt (I got from the lovely Kitty before she made her move to the big smoke) and my fire engine red bag I got when I was in Melbourne a few years ago.I know its sounds a bit OTT but guess what? it acctually works…
I wore my dress with pride to work on Tuesday and similarly to the yellow week from last year’s challange I got lots of positive feedback…I say bring on bright clolours and even more so when you can combine them with almost any colour under the sun!
I am super excited about the next blog when I show you my other super combo of lime and navy blue…can’t wait!
