Somers Time

Had an epic (and very hectic) weekend up at Somers for Steffi Beach. After searching up and down Chapel Street for  the perfect outfit I finally decided on this amazing kaftan from Sass and Bide. Initially I was unsure about the lack of colour but then I realised it just meant I could add some crazy accessories which of course I always love!

Rainbow Bright

Pulled out a seriously bright and colourful outfit for today's beach session. Fell in love with these shorts when I found them in a store in LA and was so excited to find out they were Shakuhachi. Loving that a few of our fave Aussie labels are making it big in the US at the moment. FYI have since found out there are bathers that come in the same print which I'm dying for...in case you're starting to brainstorm for my birthday present!

Finally Arrived

After a day of travelling, a five hour delay at the airport and ten episodes of Homeland, I have finally arrived in Hawaii! Had the most beautiful first day tanning by the pool and reading my most recent obsession Message From An Unknown Chinese Mother which I'll have to give you when I'm done. Could not be more excited that this is all that's on the agenda for the next two weeks! PS I discovered an epic tuna sanga and hot choc combo at Santos in Sydney airport - Pret has some serious competition here!

LA Adventure

Having a week off from HTL for the first time since it started has been super weird. I have no idea what you've been doing, what you've been wearing...and even what you did for New Year's! LA has been epic, we've been seriously living it up here. From the incredible SLS hotel to major shopping success, and hitting up midnight Mexican feasts, I am dying for us to come live here. Today was my favourite - we hired a car and drove to Malibu for lunch, then sat on those The OC-style sheds on the beach and had a Sprinkles cupcake sunset picnic. Feeling like it's too soon to leave but very excited to be lying by the beach for the next two weeks...

How Two Give Day 6

After a morning spent on the beach, we escaped the 38 degree heat and headed over to Somers General Store, where we were happy to discover both the perfect thing to quench our thirst and a great feature for HTG Day 6. Thankyou Water is a social enterprise that sells bottled water and helps to fund water projects in developing countries. Buying one bottle of water will supply one month's worth of safe water to someone in need. The coolest part is you can track your bottle online and find out exactly which project you're helping to fund - turns out we're helping to fund water filters in Myanmar.

Beach Day

Finally woke up to blue skies yesterday morning so headed straight to the beach for another amazing day. I spent the entire time reading my book (which is crazy and you have to read!) but obviously took a break for an epic lunch at Orgasmic Falafel. Picked up the most ridiculous pair of flares while here which you are actually going to die for... I think I'll have to post in them before home because I just can't wait for you to see!

Byron Bay

First day in Byron was seriously perfect - consisted of a swim at the beach, lunch at Bay Kebabs and an afternoon walk to the lighthouse. Devastated to report that weather for the next few days isn't looking so promising, but I am seriously looking forward to some great food, and most importantly a shop at Pompidou... think I'll head there tomorrow so will hopefully have some fun new purchases to report!

Matching Print

Gig and I felt like something a little different so we decided to go to the Cross for some delicious porridge and people watching. Surprisingly blended in with all the crazies in this matching bag and shirt combo - I picked these up from the same place I got my glasses (a new store in Surry Hills you'll love). What you actually can't see behind the jumbo sized sunnies is the epic burn I am now sporting after 2 days of solid tanning. Major ouch!

St Kilda Beach

Decided to head to St Kilda beach for my first full day in the sun. I guess it wasn't the most original idea considering I was joined by what felt like a million other beach goers. May have gotten a little too excited with the prospect of a tan - I know I look a little pink here but trust me, this is nothing. After the snap was taken I seemed to get progressively redder, to the point that now my face almost resembles a tomato... god I missed summer!

Double Rainbow

Went for afternoon drinks on the beach at Sandbar today. I decided to ignore the temperamental Melbourne weather and opted for this adorable double rainbow duo. Not gonna lie, my legs were a little chilly, but the photo made it worth it!
