Faraway beach - photo diary

We had a whirlwind trip away to the Central Coast to see my parents, my sister and her boyfriend and little nieces. It was a weekend filled with so many laughs, massages, facials, wine, coffee, more wine, more coffee, lots of food and a toasty wood fire. When my family gets together we're guaranteed giggles galore and lots of performances from my 6 year old niece -  usually involving a lot of musical instruments played very loudly. Ha ha.

It was so nice to see everyone! Missing them all already! It was perfect weather the entire time we were down there - but it was soooo bloody cold compared to Queensland. I had more pics, but a lot of them have my nieces in them - and I don't want to put them on my blog for privacy reasons.

On the way back to Sydney we stopped in at Zara in the city quickly - but we had to make a flight home so we didn't have ample time to shop. We're gonna save that for our Sydney trip in August. 

Hope you all had a perfect weekend - whatever you got up to!

we won't run, we won't run.

For the past few weeks all I have wanted to do is get all cozy in my winter layers, rug up and drink hot tea, because the weather has been nothing but drab. However, the weather over the long weekend had other plans for how I dressed. It was such amazing weather!! This is one of the things I picked up from the markets yesterday. HOW RAD ARE MY NEW VINTAGE SWIMMERS? At only $10 - I would have been one silly girl not to buy them.

The cut is super cute. A little bit higher than my other swimmers and I think I'll be prone to wedgies when I wear them but all that is forgiven as I love the little fine string detailing on the side and the colourful pattern (which sort of looks like something my five year old niece would paint).

I was worried taking photos in a bikini on a beach would end up looking a little too cliched/ mens magazine-ish. But, thank god I was in good hands and they turned out awesome (thanks to J). It was kind of a last minute decision to hop in the car and shoot these, but I am so glad we did as the sunset was stunning. One of the best I have seen in a long time!

So as my brain has switched into winter mode, hopefully summer had finally done it's dash because I really want to continue to rug up and sip on hot tea. I think I am finally ready to pack my denim cut offs away and shop for some winter goods.
