17.7.26 Dear Diary, They say art is a form or a way to self-express. But perfecting the art, or the craft, takes effort, time, practice, and consistency. From the perspective of my own, one creates hats, and another wears it to match their outfit. But one also makes the outfit - designs the clothing, and someone else wears it. In events such as these, energy and time is also spent to make it successful, and I want to take a moment to validate that - the effort organisers have put into enriching each aspect - arranging a stylist, the musicians, artists, models, milliners, catering… It’s an art to collaborate with people from different industries whose duties co-exist. Love Laura 🌷

17.04.2026 | Dear Diary, "Like a sponge, I’m soaking up the chaos of the outside world, the news, the exterior changes, people’s suggestions, because I may have forgotten the fundamentals in the internal pursuit of perfection?" Life will find a way when you go against the tide. Let us remind and encourage one another always!

27. 02. 26 | Dear Diary, Sun Moon Lake was a beautiful scenic place to visit, especially for the tranquility of the tea mountains and the central lake. We had lots of tea tasting and some exploring, and unfortunately, some not-so-nice mosquito bites.

09.01.2026 | Dear Diary, Life often gives us lessons on what to do with ourselves with the time we have, but one of its challenges that remain constant is to be able to handle anything where we are - and the gift of having the choice to choose. May you choose wisely. Love, Laura ✨ #mindfulness #journalling #selfawareness #selfdiscovery #lifeandspirituality #authenticitymatters #sydneysnippets #sydney #travelvlog

21.11.25 | Dear Diary, This September in New York coincidentally happened to be the month where New Century celebrated The Moon Festival, otherwise known as the Mid-Autumn Festival. I feel really lucky and blessed to have captured my experience down, and to all the people that I've worked with, and met, and gotten closer to, I thank you 💖 Love, Laura #newyork #portjervis #festivals #americanfestivals #mid-autumnfestival #autumnmoments #hanfufashion #countrylife #vintageaesthetic #performingarts

31.10.25 | Dear Diary, It is the last week of August 2025. It is also the last week before I leave for New York, and looking further ahead, Sydney, and then Taiwan. And honestly, my life felt stagnant for the past several months, but now it feels like the boat I’m on is starting to set sail. I’ve had a thought, which is, sometimes it seems, upon looking back, the past dreams and plans I had for the future have come to fruition - and it feels like I’ve been there, done that, and that’s all it was. But life goes on, unlike all the fairytales or stories I read in my childhood, once something big is accomplished, or an adventure finished, the story ends. Yet, I’m still alive and breathing, figuring out what else there is out there for me to do - what’s my next quest? My next mission?

19.09.25 | Dear Diary, "As we grow, our ideas and the concepts of ourselves and who we want to become change. We will never stop evolving and growing as long as we embrace ourselves and time. So grace yourself with kindness, and embrace the flaws with patience, for there is beauty in a world like this."

20.06.25 | Dear Diary, As I grow to understand the world around me, where my thoughts are coming from, what kind of person I want to become, what sort of archetype I am portraying, and what is true to my being, I feel like in all my life, I'm finally becoming more free to express who I am. Perhaps it's because I chose to let go of all the expectations placed upon me by others or myself, and choosing to let the universe unravel it's magic like the winds that blow me from one place to the other - taking one day at a time, not anticipating anything to happen, but believing all is in good hands. If you're in your 20s, you have just entered a world of exploration, wonders and possibilities - or, maybe this is true for every decade. But know that this is just another ring of the tree :) Love, Laura 🌿 #20sWisdom #WhatImLearning #GrowthInMy20s #QuarterLifeThoughts #TwentiesJourney #LearningAsIGo #EvolvingInMy20s #BecomingMe #FindingMyselfInMy20s #SelfAwarenessJourney #innergrowth #MaturingGracefully #LessonsLearned #AdultingDiaries

18.07.25 | Dear Diary, Last year, I had a wonderful opportunity to help out with a millinery fashion show at the Moonee Valley Racing Club's 2024 Racing and Fashion Lunch. Like every other fashion show I've helped behind the stage for, this is probably the first time I've actually taken my camera to and filmed what happens behind the scenes. For those who aren't aware, it can get pretty hectic behind the glamour and beauty - and everyone I was made known to, have worked really hard for the show to be a success. Thank you everyone who participated and helped each other out, there's honestly still so so much for me to learn in this industry 🌸✨ Love, Laura. _________ #CoutureOnTheCourse #MillineryLunch #HatSeason #RaceDayStyle #Hightea #HatsOffToStyle #Melbournecup #MooneeValley #Australiaculture #Melbourneculture #Hatsandfashion #fashionvlog

23.05.25 | Dear Diary, This time visiting Ballarat, I was invited to join Hidden Lanes' Walking Tour and explore the town in a way I never knew. Understanding the histories and past made me realise how the way people lived their lives can leave an everlasting impact on the present and the emerging. May we live responsibly so that we leave a positive legacy - individually or together as a community.

18.04.25 | Dear Diary, There is peacefulness and harmony from dedicating family time and eating home-grown fruits, to art, and beautiful scenery.
