gah

I am still digesting prawns, champagne etc from the past few days but felt the need to share this photo - it's my new desktop background which only happens when an image is at obsession status.

How was everyone's christmas? Best present, dish of the day, most awkward family moment etc GO! Tell me yours I'll tell you mine.

a garden party

It was sister 1's birthday yesterday, for which she had envisioned a garden soiree.
In the lead up I was picturing myself all braids and garden wreaths, creamy skin and flushed rosy cheeks, muted flower toned dresses, nude sandals, all very soft and whimiscal - a big, but desired step away from my unofficial uniform of jeans, tee and button ups.
Having just moved into our new home it's a hot mess of boxes and last minute bit's and pieces so cleaning, organising (ie hiding sh*t in places that won't be seen by guests) and decorative preparations left only 10 minutes for personal preparations. I ended up fresh out of the shower with a side plait, makeup of no such description, in an old floral number with a sheer white tshirt underneath a tied up pale pink shirt and my beat up converse...it was far from what I had imagined but very close to what I had predicted...that's just me and I think I'm ok with it.

This post is about sunshine, smiles, silliness and encapsulates my hopes for the summer that is coming to Sydney soon, please Lord VERY soon.

It's not just the girls it's the photo's, but it's just not the photo's it's the girls. Healithy obsessed with everything that is seen through Ms Maya Villigers lense.

Y'all can pretend you're not interested in the whole Pirelli calendar phenom, but really, there is no denying the beauty of this....

Less smut than usual for 2012 which, a well recieved surprise.  It has been decided this Saskia de Brauw shot needs to be hanging life size on my wall, pronto.

As a side note, I want a Phase One 65+ back for my travels next year so I can zoom in on grains of sand and have them this crystal clear. YUM.

walkabout

He has mornings off (I seem to have the whole day off) and likes to feel like we've lived a little before the daily grind begins...so we wander down to Salvador Coffee on Kings Lane and sit and listen to the loud South American make coffee, eat some avo on toast with nothing more than a crack of S&P and squeeze of lemon, take some photos, take the scenic root home, do some general meandering always looking around for new things to feast our eyes upon, find a pretty little lane with a grey cat on a garden table, take note of a big leafy wall and try and figure out how we could shoot that (scaffolding?), see that the vine covered and ever intriguing MiniMeanwhile (the outlet store of what is thought of as a mens Blood Orange ie AMAZING) is finally open so pop in for a browse, reconfirm the fact I love mens clothes way more than womens and before you know it, it's 11am and time to say goodbye.
