Marigold.

I have been spending my weeks looking forward to the weekends, and getting out of town! Don't get me wrong, I love the city of Melbourne more than anything, but there's something about getting to the beach and feeling free. I can't believe it's this time of year again, I am having so much fun already. Do things you love, with people you love!

Shadows.

Between working, escaping to sydney, and seeing someone special... the weeks have flown by.

This is an outfit I wore to a date on Sunday night a couple of weeks back, shot in the shadows of golden hour when the sun was low and it was still warm. We've had some beautiful balmy nights lately, this time of year is quite magical.

This dress has seen me through numerous years, worn so many different ways. Summer, winter, and everything in between. It's casual, yet sexy with just the right amount of sheerness and it drapes beautifully on the body.

I found heaven on earth at QT Sydney.

I never really splurge on hotel rooms, purely because I am always out and about discovering the city, shopping, or out eating my way through the town and it seems unnecessary! But because I was only in Sydney for one night (and solo) I thought I would book myself into QT. 

I walked into my room and was literally floored. It was STUNNING and looked so much better than the photos, it was a whole lot bigger than I imagined too. It's glorious from every angle and such a pleasant place to be. 

I attended an event, and excitedly came back to my room desperate to order some room service, have a bath, and jump into the huge marshmallow bed. It was everything I thought it would be... The lady who took my dinner order was so nice and friendly on the phone, and even helped me out with breakfast (I already knew I would be getting breakfast in bed the next morning) as it wasn't on the room service menu, but she brought me one up from the cafe downstairs so in the morning I could call through. Both meals were fantastic, and I felt super relaxed eating them in my personal haven. 

Everyone working at QT was super helpful and all had big smiles, being in the service industry myself I appreciate when the level of service is this good. 

I wont say much more, I think my photos speak louder than words. But please, do yourself a favour and book yourself in at this incredible hotel. You won't regret it.

Live your life, be free.

                                     

It's late afternoon and I have the whole beach to myself, bar two surfers who disappeared into the waves. I chased the sunset, but the sun was muffled and all I saw were these pale pink clouds and a dull sky. The sand was freezing and I was covered in goosebumps, but I couldn't help but think... What an amazingly beautiful world we live in. 

In this moment I was happy, content, and free. 

Take yourself on an adventure, enjoy your own company, love yourself, free your mind and heal your heart.

United we stand.

A week ago I flew up to Sydney to attend the United We Stand campaign launch hosted by Samantha Wills and Mount Franklin, in support of the McGrath foundation. It was such an amazing event to attend, very moving and inspiring. As women we need to be smart, strong, and supportive. That is what this cause/collection is about.

Jane McGrath was 31 when diagnosed with breast cancer, and was a warrioress when it came to determination to create the foundation and help others in need. Her legacy is what we celebrated and every time you buy a bottle of Mount Franklin or a Samantha Wills piece you are contributing to her dream that every woman with breast cancer would have their own nurse.

To shop the collection head over to www.samanthawills.com/shop/mountfranklin - My picks are the Aztec Bohemian Bardot rings and the Warrioress t-shirt! A generous donation from each piece goes towards funding of breast care nurses throughout Australia.
