I stumbled across Annabelle's blog today and I think I have read all her archives now. I wasn't going to share you her link cos I wanted it to be my little secret - but her styling is too impeccable not to share. ENJOY.

Pitt street

Some street art in Sydney. I think it was done over night, as the council worker was cleaning it off when we were there. I have no idea how the artists did it - it was really, really high and it was on one of the busiest streets in the city. The council obviously didn't appreciate it as much as we or the other people walking by did.

UPDATE: The artist suspected of doing this is Barry McGee! A legend in the street art world! I am so happy to have witnessed his work!

hair inspiration

I'm getting my hair cut like this, this week. And probably really blonde as well. Or maybe not, I only just thought of the maintenance! Though having to get my hair done every three weeks means head massages... I can't wait to get this cut - it will be so liberating! Then after this cut I think I will finally go back to long brown hair (my natural colour) - I'll have all the hair cuts and colours out of my system by then.

Funland

If you follow me on Twitter, you would have seen all the kilometres we traveled recently. We went from the Gold Coast all the way down to Narooma (South Coast NSW), stopping at places in between! It is such a beautiful drive - though I am in no rush to be in a car for that long any time soon!

The South Coast is one of my favourite places in Australia. The water is the clearest blue and the endless green fields really are gorgeous. If you haven't seen this part of New South Wales I would suggest that you book a little getaway over summer!

The place featured in these photos is "Funland" in Ulladulla. Every time we drive through Ulladulla we say "We should stop there", but we never actually do! So finally on the way back to Sydney we stopped in, had a look around, grabbed some lunch from a little bakery and tried to look through a vintage/retro shop in a side alley. It was impossible to look through their over stocked racks. It is my absolute pet hate going shopping when a shop is holding too much stock. I normally walk straight out (cursing them).

Happy Tuesday!

Projection - Sydney adventure

These were taken by Jonathan while we were in Sydney the other day. We snuck my camera into a projection room in a gallery - as we've always wanted to see the effects the images will have on the overall photograph. I really love the outcome. What are your thoughts?

I will be back to regular posting as of today!

Hope you've been having fun! I have lots of photos to share with you.

All vintage...

All Vintage

An outfit from my road trip!

(Dress and Jumper Vintage, Shoes Sportsgirl, Bag vintage gift from my brother, Rings assorted)
These photos were taken by Jonathan in Sydney where we stayed. 

Our holidays have been so incredibly amazing the past few days. We've seen some really, really nice parts of NSW. It's been awesome to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and not have anything to worry about.

We took our time on the way down south and stopped at cute towns along the way. We stayed overnight in Port Macquarie (I'd  never been there before), and then ventured on to Sydney. We're currently in Narooma, NSW, visiting my parents for a couple of days (thanks for the internet mum haha). It is the first time since leaving four years ago that the nostalgia has truly kicked in - it will be sad to leave tomorrow morning.

So today is Wednesday and it marks the midway point of our little/massively long road trip. Tomorrow it's back up to Sydney, then to the Central coast Saturday and lastly back to Queensland Sunday! Far out that's been a few Kilometres, thank god for Ipods)

Hope your weekend and week has been fun!

Spring road trip

I find it very hard to narrow down the clothes I choose to go away with. Even though I have taken photos of "what I am packing", I bet when It comes down to it, I won't pack some of it and I'll find something else I'd prefer to take...Or, I will pack this and much, much more. (lucky we're not flying this time)

I CAN NOT WAIT FOR TOMORROW AND THE NEXT TEN DAYS! We've downloaded all our tunes, camera is charged, I'm off to buy us some essential road trip snacks today, we're not booking any accommodation and we're ready to cruise! Bring it on!

When we get back, it's all systems go for the store and for my new blog layout. So get pumped - we sure are.

HAPPY FRIDAY!
