Maroubra Beach | S n e a k P e e k

Maroubra Beach, Sydney

Last week I had the pleasure of shooting with (yet again) Jysla Kay. This time was different as we both hadn't attended a photo-shoot since I was five months pregnant mid last year! Both feeling a bit rusty in our fields, we headed down to Maroubra Beach & prepared to warm up to the main outfit. Our doubts were soon blown away with what was one of the most breeziest, fun & gorgeous photo-shoots I've ever done!

Taken off Instagram, these are just some unedited snapshots... the real shots will be coming soon.

Ah, the beach makes everything shine...

CAFÉ LIFE

1+2. After my very first blog shoot with Jysla Kay + brunch with my husband at Le Pain Quoidien | Sneak peek with coffee from Surry Hills | 4 +5. Sweet treats & bright organic coffee from Roadside Cafe

Clearly I'm obsessed at finding a good cafe after shooting for the blog & finding good cafes in general; so I thought I would share my favourites of the moment + a sneak peek of a post coming soon...

So there's something I must admit; I have a slight [code for: very extreme] sweet tooth. When the topic of my Instagram profile comes up in conversation it's always followed by questions of all the sweet treats I post up on there! I've always been a fan of taking photos of yummy food. Heck, my friends know now not to even touch their food before I've taken a photo! So I thought I would post a short but sweet (ha, get it?) post on where I get my usual treats or how I make them.
"That it will never come again is what makes life sweet."

INSTALIFE

Brunch at an upcoming collab photo-shoot that I can't wait to share!

Shopped the One Teaspoon sale-wish it wasn't getting colder so I could wear these crochet Bonitas more often!

INSTALIFE LOOK BACK: 2012

Hi lovelies! I'm here to apologise for the short hiatus through Christmas, New Years & holiday season but I am glad to be back with an array of things to show you! Before that, I'd like to look back on the year that was through the eyes of Instagram (since I haven't posted 'Instalife' in quite a few months)

I am more than excited to start the new year, with many great things to come & sharing them all with you!

Here are a few of my favourite photos & happenings from Instagram of last year:

 Preparing & shooting look-books

 Photo-shoots
