HEADDRESS

Today is Melboure Cup day, probably the biggest race day for us here in Australia. As they famously call it 'the race that stops the nation'. For the girls its all about the frocks, headpieces and hats. So here are a few things I think are perfect for your head today.

SUMMER IN AUSTRALIA

Decided to post a few photos from a portrait shoot I did on the weekend. These are a few of my favourites. I will be 

updating my photography website soon with lots of new work... so I'll update you on that as soon as its online.

LAZY

So much to do this weekend........ all I want to do is lie around and sleep.

These images are work of a very talented  photographer from my hometown of Avalon, Tim Hixson. His work is all done on plastic cameras. He has really perfected the technique, and captures some serene images.... enjoy!

For me light is the essence of a relaxing home. Bright open spaces, and natural light bring a fresh feeling and relaxing mood. Through Followstudio I found this amazing blog by Shannon Fricke. As she so perfectly puts ' I believe that the way your decorate your home can influence the way you feel about your life'. I adore the homes I have posted found on Shannons blog, so many little inspiring shots to help me create a home that makes me feel relaxed and happy. 

I found out a couple of days ago that I was accepted and am going to have a little store at The Finders Keepers art and design markets on december 5th and 6th, selling my swimwear range sol bellow

Such a pretty promo poster for it.

HOME SWEET HOME

Some images from my home and things that are special to me.

 - In the top image are black and white photos of all the special people in my life, which I have pegged onto some string. Hanging in the middle is a heart made of twine and shells I received from a loved one from an overseas trip, also sitting on top of my mirror is a little ornament from my grandma, three little monkeys 'see no evil, speak no evil and hear no evil'. It reminds me of her and I really believe that she lived like these monkeys. She was the most kind hearted person I have and possibly will ever know.

- My beautiful backyard and a chair we found at a council clean up.

- The next image is another of my grandmas belongings a necklace my pop bought her from a trip to Holland. 

-The last, a little white birdhouse I received as a gift.

Personally I think we are spoilt for choice when it comes to Australian fashion. There are so many wonderful Australian designers. Here are a few pieces I have my eye on this summer, from a few of my fav's.
