Julia

Did you watch the video posted by The Young Turks where Cenk Uygur said Julia Nobis looked like a "zombie"? 

If you did, you're probably as mad as me, if you didn't and you're having a good day then maybe don't watch it right now, because it's a sure way to work yourself up into a rage. 

One way or the other I put my two cents in and posted an article on Fashion Global that you can check out if you want.

Haven't picked up a copy of Kirstie Clements' new book The Vogue Factor? Well, you should.

Picnic

Here are the results of my first blogger collaboration! I got together with Erika from http://blog.erikarax.com (who is a graphic design/food blogger) and had a picnic. 

Erika is responsible for all the food of course (no one who wants something nice to eat lets me near an oven) and I can personally vouch for how delicious it all was. I had to keep pausing between photos to finish off mouthfuls of her Cadbury Freckles. She also edited all the photos. So I need to thank her for transforming me and this set up into something from Alice in Wonderland. All I needed was a white rabbit.

This dress is on sale by the way! So if you were in the market for a purple dress covered in little embroidered cupcakes you're in luck.

The photos were taken at the Camellia Gardens which is the most beautiful and tranquil paradise hidden amongst the busy suburb of Caringbah in Sydney's south. It's one of my favourite places in Sydney and you may remember I've taken photos there before. You should definitely go there if you get a chance. 

I know we aren't exactly in picnic season but if you get the chance and it's a sunny day you should grab your favourite throw pillows and try out some of Erika's amazing recipes and have your own Alice in Wonderland inspired day!

Hey guys! 

So remember how I told you all that I'm writing for a new blogging platform called Fashion Global? Well, I published an article on there a couple of weeks ago that I've wanted to write for quite a while, about instagram and instagram fame. 

I'm sure any of you who have Instagram (and probbably a few of you who don't) know who Gary Pepper, How Two Live, Caitlyn Paterson, Sydney Fashion Blogger and Tuula Vintage are. Well I finally sat down and wrote about how them, their Instagram accounts and their fame are all connected. 

I had a lot of fun writing it, hope you enjoy reading it!

This is my last post from Berry and it also happens to be my favourite. Finding a field full of yellow daisies couldn't have been a coincidence, right? The photo op was too perfect, even if you can't really see my outfit. 

Anyway, this is the road that lead to the house we were staying at. Each time we drove down it I told everyone in the car I wanted to take pictures there and on our second day I forced Roisin to go out into the freezing cold to take some shots. Hey, I was the one that had to walk down there in a crop top.

While we were taking the photos a woman walking her dog came down the road and stopped to chat and told us about a cemetery a little drive away that weshould go check out. Needless to say the next day we went searching and found nothing. After seeing the dog wandering a field alone the next day my friend Chris (from Cwixtopher) thinks this was for the best and that the woman herself was in fact a ghost from said cemetery. Well, it was a pretty creepy road. 

Ghost stories aside I truly do love crop tops. Next time I think I'll pair one with some high waist jeans. What do you guys think of them?

Faux

Sports Girl faux fur hat: Similar here (or check Amazon/Ebay where there are hundreds of choices)

Another post from Berry that Roisin (from The Simple Moment) and I shot just as the sun was going down. I'm always worried about this time of day because you basically only have one chance and if you don't get a shot you like, well too late you have to wait till tomorrow. But these shots are possibly my favourites from my Blogger history so maybe I should take the risk more often? 

Anyway, to the fashion part of this fashion post, who else loves fur hats? I remember saying a while ago that I was becoming a hat person and I'm really living up to my promise. I don't know if I like it because it's warm, because it's pretty or because I like prancing around in front of a camera at dusk with one on pretending to be a Russian princess. All of the above?

This past weekend some friends and I went to a small town called Berry (which is about an hours drive south of Sydney) for the weekend for my birthday (happy birthday to me!) 

I've travelled all over Australia and whilst places like Kings Canyon, The Great Barrier Reef, the Dain Tree Rainforest and all the beaches are amazing, there is something about the beauty of Berry and the surrounding landscapes that puts it at the top of my list.

We stayed in this amazing house (you can check it out here if you'd like to go there) which you can see above (sorry about the bad quality, it's from an iPhone) which had an incredible view. I couldn't help just walking around even if it was cold. We also used the landscape and the paddocks to our advantage and took some amazing outfit shots which I'll be sharing over the next week.

I've also discovered that there really isn't much that beats sitting in front of a fire place, reading a book and over looking an amazing view. Pretty good birthday present.

We also got a chance to walk around Berry which I've always preferred to refer to as Hogsmeade (I first visited it when I was 10 and still eagerly awaiting my Hogwarts letter). It even has its own version of Honeydukes called Bon Bon. You have no idea how badly I wanted to buy that lollypop.
