Smart Summer Love

I was asked to be part of Sun Smart's Love Your Body Blog Carnival . So to celebrate Summer coming around the corner & my love for a good floppy hat and crazily shaped sunnies I made this wee stop motion movie. Hope it gets you in the mood to love your summer and your skin!




I've always been fair, as a teenager I longed for a golden tan but the kiwi sun always got the better of me. By the time I was in my early 20's I'd finally learnt my lesson. I'm never going to get a natural tan! I'd gone through enough after sun lotion, painful showers, sleeping sessions lying on my back & embarrassing tomato face moments I'd had enough! Now I embrace my lily white outer layer & if being sun smart means I can wear a gigantic 60's inspired floppy sunhat and some sweet cat eye sunnies like the ones in the video then I'm all for that! Special thanks goes to Lauren for being a super smart smiley model!

The Spooky & The Kooky

Snaps from Halloween night . . . 

Sunday Sessions

I dusted off my instax mini today for some Sunday instant camera shooting. We had breakfast, went to the National Gallery of Victoria for the Vienna exhibition, had a coffee then tottered off home to blog all about it. 

Flower Bomb

I went to hanami on the weekend to sit under the cherry trees, drink sake, eat rice balls & reminisce about my time living in Japan. Sadly, most of the cherry blossoms had already bloomed but still the air was clean, nature was all around and the kawaii factor was on major overdrive.

Doll Face

I went along to Doll Face  - the gala launch party of Full-skirted Productions & shot some snaps for the online mag laneway magazine. I felt like I'd stepped back into 1949 when Lady Diamond, a burlesque performer, got on stage. 

Nautical Musings

I just spent 3 days and 3 nights sailing on the sea...this is our boat, the Solway Lass.
