On our way from Auckland to Rotorua, we stopped off at Bilbo's house.

2015 | shine bright

It's 1am on 1 January 2015 here in Melbourne and we are officially in the new year!

A new year carries new hopes, and is a great time to reflect on your triumphs, your failures, and what you would like to let go of in order to make room for new goals.

Happy New Year to all my readers across the globe. Whatever your goals may be, I hope that 2015 will be full of adventure, love and laughter for you.

Shine on, shine bright.

postcards | impressions of Auckland

There are few places in the world celebrated for their natural beauty, New Zealand is one of them. For us Australians, it is so close in distance and similar in nature that it makes you feel like you're simply visiting a neighbour. But the picturesque landscape, infused with the Maori culture and the distinctive Kiwi accent can take you a world away from home. Here are a few snaps from our time in Auckland. 

Happy Holidays from New Zealand |

To all my readers, whether you are hugging a mug of hot chocolate watching the snow outside, or chilling with a cool champagne under a sunny blue sky, I hope you are having a safe and joyous time with your loved ones.

See you in 2015 with more fashion moments. Remember: love life, love style, and most of all, treasure yourself.

sunday reading | #1

Image sourced from Mashable

Ever since I started working last year and, like the majority of the world, started living "for the weekend", Sundays have become a sacred day in my calendar. It seems to be the only day of the week when one can find time for thyself, find peace and reflect on the week that was, and the week ahead. Of course it is also a great day for catching up on reading.
