These past couple weeks in Sydney have treated us to some gorgeous sunny days. Bare legs all year is fine by me. Apart from snow trips of course. Unfortunately I won't be going on my annual skiing trip this year, but for good reason! Less than a month from now Luke and I will be jetting off to Europe! It'll be my first time travelling around Europe (apart from our quick trip to London last month of course) and Luke's too. I think I'm still in a state of disbelief because I still haven't booked some of our flights or accommodation. Eep! So this is where I call on you guys for any recommendations - not just accommodation but just anything you think is a "MUST" in Italy (think west coast), Greece (think Santorini) and Turkey (think Istanbul). Thanks in advance guys! x

Splendour In The Grass 2014

I've been home from Splendour for about a week now and finally getting up to speed! Luke and I spent 3 amazing days in Byron Bay for the Splendour In The Grass 2014 festival thanks to the crazy kids at Red Bull AU. We tried to fit in as many sets & activities as we could while at the same time trying to chill out after the craziness that was London (see previous posts). By a happy coincidence we were bundled to the festival with my recent partner in crime Ally from Substance blog and her fiancé JD. Though I was also able to meet and hang out with a lot of new, fun people including Young Franco, Lisa from See Want Shop and Nicole Millar (who sings on that wicked tune 'High' by Peking Duk). Highlights of the festival had to be Outkast, haloumi vege burger, Sticky Fingers, Miso flavour corn on a cob and these Hunter boots which saved my soles on the last day! Again a huge thank you to the wicked team at Red Bull for a great time! Visit my instagram here for all outfit details.

LONDON Day 4

Day 4 with Next was non-stop ... and I loved it! First up was the Next Christmas 2014 runway show, which featured big names such as Jourdan Dunn and Kendra Spears. My favourite trends featured in the show were the layered wool pieces paired with boots & hats, plus the sleek Noir nightwear which featured some sassy, fluffy heels. We were then treated to a christmas themed chill out session upstairs, complete with hot chocolates, canapés and manicures. Next, we drove across London to the Barbican to see the Jean Paul Gaultier exhibition which was utterly clever - a must-see for the fashion lover. I was thrilled to hear we were then to have high tea (high tea in England!) which of course included scones, english breakfast tea and cream cheese & cucumber sandwiches - darn posh. After packing our bags ready to jet off home we spent a lazy half hour in the residential 'private park' outside our hotel - just bliss. I can completely understand now why so many Brits have their lunch break in the parks throughout summer - very peaceful. See my Day 4 video for a closer look at our day! I can't believe this has come to an end. Like I said in my video, this was definitely a highlight in my blogging career so far and I can't express enough how thankful I am to the Next team for taking me on a trip I'll never forget.
