THE DREAMER

I picked up my very own Diana Dreamer whilst in the USA recently from Urban Outfitters. Over the weekend I loaded it with some expired 120 film and went for a walk across the road to the beach. Looking forward to seeing the results!

FINDING RYANTOWN

My first stop after arriving in New York was Ernest Sewn store, and Robert Ryan's 'Ryantown USA'. So excited to see his work in person and to pick up my very own bag of goodies.... too bad I couldn't take one of his big framed prints home. Gorgeous installation!

Plantation House

Wanted to share with you this beautiful little hideaway in Playa Del Carmen. We stumbled across  Plantation House, whilst looking for a place to stay. Saw the amazing front entrance and knew we had found a winner! We stayed in the gorgeous place, and were lucky they had any vacancies.  We had a pool right outside our door, our own little outdoor library with hammock and 2 mins walk to the sea. Not to mention the amazing floor tiles, timber details, and gorgeous decor. Paradise if you ask me!

Just a little note to say 'be back soon'

photo from Playa Del Carmen, Mexico.... more on this little paradise to come.

RYANTOWN USA

I will be leaving my dear homeland Australia next week, and venturing to New York City. So you can imagine my excitement when looking over London artists blog to find this! An invite to his exhibition in New York! thanks for the invite, I'll see you at Ryantown

MUSIC & MUD

After spending a weekend away, stomping in gumboots through mud, at the Byron Bay Blues festival, today calls for a musical blog. I have been a big fan of Ayo for a few years now, after a lovely old man at a music shop recommended her album to me. This was the first time I have seen her live, and I was totally blown away by her. Her presence on stage is so engaging. Ayo is German born, her mother is a Gypsy mother and her father Nigerian. She has the most beautiful smile and her cultural diversity is reflected in her music. My favourite song was when she did an improv song about her life, her family and culture, mixed in with her love for Byron Bay, and how she was discovered there years ago. If you have not listened to her music before I urge you to have a listen, and buy one of her albums... I like her first one. Let me know what you think?

TROPIQUES

After looking around on White blank press I came across this colourful shoot by Carter Smith. I just had to share it. The headpieces are just gorgeous. Model: Anja Rubik

SLICE OF FASHION

Although it is getting cooler here in Australia as Autum is upon us,  I can't help but have a peak through the dresses at Shopbop .These 3 are my pick!

Happy Friday

HOME

I have been loving these pieces for a while now. Just realized he is located in Brooklyn, where I will be staying in less than 3 weeks. Might have to get in touch with JDavis Studio and pick up one of these treasures!
