Bachelorette.

"A bachelorette's party is simply a party, given in honour of the bride to be, in the style that is common to that social circle."

Jasmin and I started talking about her hens party almost immediately after the venue was chosen! A few months down the track I stopped involving her and knew in my mind exactly what I wanted to do for her and I wanted it all to be a surprise.

Jasmin is a beautiful soul. A loving friend who is always there for me when needed, a very hardworking and inspiring mother of two and a genuine human being who deserved to be spoiled and shown how much not only I, but all her friends love her.

When I read the above quote I laughed because the afternoon tea I put on for her is definately our style. Sweet and pretty treats, I went with a pink and red theme as it's super feminine and fun!

Later on in the eve we sat on Madame Brussels rooftop indulging in Martini's and then danced like crazy at the Carlton Club. It was honestly the best day and night! Jasmin was beaming, that's all I could ask for, seeing her so ridiculously happy!

If you're planning a party and like the look of my pink and red afternoon tea, here are some tips:

Pina Colada and Raspberry Beret cupcakes from Sticky Fingers Bakery! I highly reccomend this company. Exceptional customer service, prompt, great pricing, everyone raved about the cupcakes and they deliver!

Raspberry, Strawberry & Vanilla and Cherry Blossom & Sake macarons from La Belle Miette! These were an absolute hit, as always. They are my favourite macarons in Melbourne and you can pre order what flavours you like so that they're ready for you when you need them.

All glassware and doilies are vintage, from my local op shop. (Jars/vases collected by myself and Jasmin!)

All candy and oreos from my local supermarket.

Black Forest Cake from Brunetti's.

All plastic plates and napkins from The Reject Shop! (Great colour selection.)

Mixed roses from my garden, carnations from the florist and succulents from Jasmin's house.

Pimms, cucumber, lime, strawberry, bitters and ginger ale.

All other food made by family and friends! (Huge thank you to you all!)

Sailor Jerry at Harvest Festival, Part I.

I couldn't have asked for a better introduction to Sailor Jerry.

Meli took me along to Harvest as she was snapping for the brand. I captured the day through my black and white point and shoot, but if you want to see Meli's photos from the festival, you can do so HERE!

I can't even begin to tell you how much fun we had. Spiced rum in hand at all time, a mixed bag of awesome people, sunshine and there is something exhilarating about being in a crowd where you know no one and can dance like no one is watching.

Keep on doing your passion and it'll blossom into something beautiful.

These photos were taken around 7pm one night when I was in Byron Bay. Everything about it was perfect. The weather, the lighting and the warmth of the water. After taking these, I took my skirt off and went for a swim whilst the sun set behind me! Once again in white, I can't get enough of the pureness. It's soft, uplifting and a refreshing change from black.

The title from this post is something a very special friend said to me today, he oozes good energy and positivity. It's motivated me so much that I had to use it and share with others because it's so easy to give up or become disheartened, but having a passion for something (whatever it may be) is the first step to creating something beautiful. So I dedicate this to him because he is always there for me and I appreciate it very much so.
