Some recent images I took of local model Isabella ( Viviens Models) , her style is really simple and I love it. She mixed bold cut prints and block colours with one stand out piece to bring it together.

There is a lot of empty spaces in my new home, so here are some small DIY furnishings that I have made or been kindly gifted with.

Some small indoor plants like succulents are good, they are super duper low maintenance and add some small bursts of colour to a room, usually in the kitchen I will have a mug or jar of flowers as a focal point or to add warmth.

Glass is probably my favourite type of home furnishings, I usually collect jars and bottles and fill them with candles, macadamia nuts (seen above ) or anything really that fits inside and has a minimalistic look about it. 

Rope, a slightly masculine item that can balance out having flowers and candles in a room. They are a little bit rustic and slightly messy, which I feel can even out clean line furnishings like glass. 

Ornamental animals, I am a sucker for a porcelain deer or bird and also prone to buying cheap and tacky wooden ducks at the local Vinnies, but they are a good space filler and add character. A DIY I use is to buy a bag of cheap plastic toy animals and simply spray them white.

Its a little hard to believe its still winter after the past week of sunshine! I moved up into the hills above Byron and it is the raddest little (not that little ) place I have ever lived. A veggie patch, macadamia forrest, mango trees and citrus garden surround the place so I doubt I will ever go hungry.

I picked up some denim overalls last week (email me for the supplier or to order some) and to begin with I was a little nervous about strapping myself back into the 90's with these denims but after a few hours or wear its going to be hard to get me out of them! 

These photos were taken on the neighbouring property where there is a deserted Queenslander home sitting amongst a macadamia farm, overlooking a huge valley between Broken Head and Lennox Head.

Here are some threads from some really good brands bringing out some of the greatest winter wear I have seen in the past few years. I headed into Driftlab in Byron and with help from Sarah got this get up ready. I really, really love Rollas and TCSS, but haven't really bought anything from Nique before, until I saw this shirt!

Plaid is definitely a pattern being seeing a lot this winter (even though flanno's and plaid never really go away), so if your going to buy a plaid shirt or jacket I would suggest opting for one with a larger bolder plaid design on it. 

As for the vest, I never thought I would be into a quilted vest but my goodness have TCSS done well with this number! Considering its sleeveless I honestly could not have been warmer yesterday whilst wearing this, it isn't to bulky either and the quilted finish tops it off. I always avoided vests, I think I was scared in the early 2000's by vest and ugg boot wearing gangsters..maybe, Im not sure if that was even a thing.

Some more gear from Rhythm featured today, and what a cold day it was! Sorry that content has been a bit slack over the past week, things have been busy behind the scenes but now that I have a bit more of a back log I can start posting more! Wohoo

We headed out to Broken Head today and walked along the head land which opened up into a grassy knoll. It was a bit of a walk, but once up there it was worth it (apart from the wind). The Jeanyes Chinos from Rhythm are a really good buy, unlike a lot of chinos I have bought in the past! I have found most pairs I have are a little to thick and a bit baggy, but the Jeanyes are really lightweight and have just enough stretch in them. 

I also really liked the Alley Rats Tee as I am a big fan of bold prints and this particular tee has a 70's style about it I think! Check out the other colous by following the links!

Some photos of Ashley a few weeks ago before a little trek down to some fun waves. A few hours south of Byron is a sleepy little fishing community wedged between the sea and the river, a fun place for a midweek escape or overnighter
