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.

Monk with Stomping Ground & Melissa Findley.

 

 

A few weeks back, I spent the day with Stomping Ground. Showing Aleesha some of my usual Melbourne haunts and my ideal Melbourne day. Followed closely by Melissa who captured the day.

First stop was Monk Bodhi Dharma. I come here a lot, if you follow me on Instagram you would already know this! Not only do they have a huge vegan menu, the food is delicious and the coffee is amazing, you can even have an almond milk latte. Oh and the chai lattes are INCREDIBLE, super spicy, just how I like them.

More often than not I get the pancakes, but this particular morning I had the quinoa porridge. It was mind blowing!

One thing I will say is don't be turned off if you can't get seated right away. You can sit outside and have coffee whilst waiting! It is quite a small cafe, but honestly so worth the wait.

Post coffee date at Common Galaxia with Nicole on a chilly Sunday. I have been wanting to check it out for a while, I had the Reuben sandwich which was incredible and they have great coffee too.

I bought this outfit for a dinner date and have found myself wearing it numerous times since! I was so excited to find a knit that was chic, and the mesh sleeved top will see me through winter and spring.

When I bought this top in Sydney last month, I thought it would hang in my wardrobe 'til at least September. 

I've worn it twice now and both times without a jacket! It's cold don't get me wrong, but when we are blessed with that beautiful warming sunshine the chill almost disappears.

I have built a small collection of beautiful clear quartz and silver rings over the last month thanks to Save The Last Pinker . Which got me thinking of my ever growing collection of black, grey and denim clothing! I use to dress so flamboyantly, but something in me just switched. Maybe age? Maybe lifestyle? I'm not sure, but I do know that I am enjoying the more chic style of dressing. 

The fact remains though, that jewellery never goes out of style. No matter what stone or what shape you can always wear colour with jewellery even if your outfit is newspaper toned. 

What I love about these 3 pieces is that you can wear them with a formal outfit and it would look elegant or an everyday look like I have here and they look effortless and casually thrown on!

Bondi Beach, baby.

I've just come home from a quick trip to Sydney over the long weekend. I was thrilled to be able to shoot this piece for Save The Last Pinker on Bondi Beach!

My blog is all about myself and Melbourne, however I love to travel whether it's near or far. Sydney stole a little piece of my heart this visit. I was so inspired by all the colours which seemed to follow me wherever I went... the art at the skatepark, jewel toned terrace houses, the moody blue sky and the flawless sand. 

Anyway, back to the jewellery... where to start! This stone changed my life. It draws out negative energy, invokes inner strength, draws out guilt and reverses destructive emotional programming, heals heartache, strengthens character and empowers feminine energy. 

I have always been into crystal healing, angels and tools such as oracle cards and so on, but after a relationship ending last year I really delved back into it in full force. And it was because of this stone, it found me and resonated with me more than any stone has before. 

When I first saw this ring, I almost fainted. My stars had alligned! I already had a huge chrysocolla ring, but this Pushmataaha piece really blew me away as it's simple, yet edgy, a statement piece that is not over the top, but holds it's own. 

The arrow symbolises aiming for your dreams. Something that speaks volumes to me right now. Never stop dreaming, but more importantly, never stop believing in yourself!

I am ecstatic to be blogging for Save The Last Pinker for the month of June. If you follow my blog and/or Instagram you will understand that jewellery is definitely my thing. It all started in primary school when those rubber bangles with glitter in the inside were all the rage and it snowballed from there. In high school I started making my own beaded earrings and come my late teens I was dreaming of the day I would own cocktail rings like Rachel Zoe and Mary Kate Olsen wore and my style became a bit more sophisticated. 

You name it, I've tried it and now as an adult I have definitely found my feet when it comes to my jewellery style. I definitely lust for rings more than anything and have a pretty epic collection. I opt for a lot of crystal and semi precious stone jewellery, usually set in silver and mixed with a statement or cocktail ring. Even if it isn't cocktail hour. 

When I saw these Kyrstle Knight rings I knew instantly I wanted both and knew I would wear them on these fingers. I love layers. The whole Krystle Knight range is beautiful, crisp and extremely versatile. Clear quartz is exciting for me too, as a big believer in crystal healing I am excited to have this beautiful cleansing and energy raising stone now in my collection.
