THE CITY

ACNE dress | Hat stylists own, made in LA | Alice + Olivia lace up boots | Kate Spade clutch

When I was last in New York, during Fashion Week, I met two incredibly beautiful and talented people, Iyan Difuntorum (one of the best stylists I've been fortunate enough to meet) and Jessie Obialor (a fantastic photographer).

We met on a New York rooftop - the Empire for memory, and instantly hit it off.

It wasn't long into our meeting that we decided to team up to shoot around the inspiring city streets of New York.

Here is the first instalment of our collaboration.

HOLLYWOOD PART I

CAMEO coat, SENSO boots, FLYNN SKYE dress

I GOT MY RED DRESS ON TONIGHT

 While in Hollywood, I had the absolute pleasure of shooting with the, beyond-words-incredible, Alexa Miller. Do yourselves a favour and check out her work (here) - top shelf.

 Last minute, we met at my hotel, grabbed some killer Flynn Skye pieces and paraded up and down Hollywood Boulevard, snapping the adventure every step of the way.

The funny thing about Hollywood - you can be spinning around side walks - singing Lana, swishing your red dress from side to side, whilst being followed around by a photographer and no one bats an eyelid.

I always feel completely at home in the craziness that is Hollywood. It's a place that sucks you in.

Already planning my next adventure.

WINTER CHILL

Sportsgirl knit, Zara leather pants, Tony Bianco sandals, Louis Vuitton Speedy 30 

The temperature is dropping, as we quickly approach what's set to be a very chilly Australian winter.  

During the week, I again teamed up with good friend and photographic extraordinaire, Sabine, to capture my latest cosy winter acquisition. 

Away with the sundresses, silk, shorts and shirts, it's now all about chunky knitwear, hats and coats.

If you missed my last post, I'm thrilled to feature in Toni & Guy's latest campaign - Blogged & Bound. You can find out more about the campaign and Friend in Fashion, in the short film created here.

FRIEND IN FASHION | TONI&GUY BLOGGED AND BOUND

After much ado (here) and (here), I am thrilled to present you with the final photos and short film I was involved in for the Toni & Guy Blogged and Bound project.

This amazing creative collaboration first kicked off in March, so I've been eagerly awaiting the final results to share with you.

So what is Blogged and Bound all about? The project pulled together 20 of Australia's most influential fashion bloggers to explore the connection between hair and style through photos and film. Each blogger's photos will appear in a beautifully bound book and the short films, which further explore each bloggers style, inspiration and motivation features on Youtube.

'Classic' was the theme of my photo shoot - which represents one of the four Toni & Guy hair collections featured in the project. Houndstooth twin set and a modern twist on the bee-hive pretty much nails the brief I think. 

Friend in Fashion meets Audrey Hepburn, meets Miss Dior!

Dreaming of a European Summer

Images: Bersa, Oscar Falk, courtesy LUNDLUND

These images capture my imagination and fill my dreams as I contemplate the European leg of our travels. Who knew travel could be so glamorous!

At this stage Spain, France, Italy, Germany, Greece, Denmark, Portugal, Sweden, Norway and the UK are all packed into the 5 month itinerary (which really doesn’t seem long enough to explore all the sights, sounds and fashion of these beautiful countries). I also plan to visit Egypt, Japan and return to New York and LA before heading back home to Australia.

When it comes to travel, I love taking each day as it comes - if I like a place, I stay, if I’m ready for the next adventure I move on. Although this is my dream of travel, reality soon kicks in, (planes don’t pick you up when and where you want, hotels aren’t just waiting for you when you decide to check in) and I’m back to planning an itinerary.

If you had 5 months to spend travelling Europe where would you go, and what would you see?
I’m hoping you have some travel hotspots I can pinch.
