Byron Bay: Part one!

-


My outfit details:
Tiger top: Sportsgirl
Black skirt: Target
Shoes: Papillio by Birkenstock
Cat patterned bag: Lily Bloom
Hat: Target

Have you ever spontaneously decided to just get away from it all?  I used to do that quite often b.h.a.c. (before husband and child!!😜).  I certainly have not been spontaneous in recent times, that's for sure!

I was scheduled to have surgery to repair a hernia on Thursday, but due to my lingering cold and it's charming effects on my respiratory system, was deemed unfit for surgery!  Not wanting to waste the opportunity to do something fun on the days that had already been approved as annual leave, I decided to go to Byron Bay on a whim!

I booked the accommodation and then announced to my husband and child that we were all off to Byron Bay!!  I think their first response was "Aren't you too sick?"  My answer was "Too sick for surgery: yes! Too sick to sit on the beach, relax and eat ice cream: no!"


Byron Bay is one of my fave places to visit in the whole wide world! It has beautiful beaches, great local markets and lots of creative artists and musicians. Plus the food is amazing and the shopping for boho style clothing is fantastic! I am a (wannabe) hippie at heart!😉


There is some amazing wall art around the town centre.



It has such a great relaxed vibe there and there really is something for everyone!  Shopping for me, food for the husband and building sandcastles on the beach for the kid!😉


We were only away for one night, but I really felt much better (physically and mentally) after spending two (almost) full days away from home! The sea air did wonders for my cold and it was so nice to feel the sand between my toes and the wind in my hair.

This is what I imagine Amber would have been doing if she had come to Byron with us!😻

    What a great idea for a physical and mental getaway! Good for you! I had hernia surgery about 10 years ago - mine was a femoral hernia, rare for women. Good luck with yours!

    The on the spur holidays always seem so much more fun than planned events. You certainly chose an artists paradise as I love the wall paintings. I look forward to Part 2!! Also best wishes for your operation. However, I don't see any actual photos of Amber at the beach with you so I'm assuming she was left to take care of your home!!.

      Thanks so much, Fererra! Amber was excited to see what I bought while I was away. She was keen to start modelling again as soon as I got home! Haha XXX

Up, Up & Away!

Do you consider yourself to be adventurous?  What does it mean to you to be adventurous?  Has the meaning of adventurous changed for you as you've grown older?   The other day I was out shopping with the family and noticed a new play area for kids, with hot air balloons painted on the walls.  After a quick family game of table tennis in which I truly sucked, the images of hot air balloons got me thinking about adventures and what it means to be adventurous.   I've never been adventurous in the extreme activities kind of way, such as partaking in skydiving, bungee jumping or even hot air ballooning!  I've never been interested in the first two activities, but I would like to ride in a hot air balloon and float up, up and away into the sky! In my twenties, I was adventurous in terms of travel and exploring new places.  I moved to Japan for two years when I was twenty one and travelled all around Japan (and other parts of Asia) by myself.  I always tried ne

Colourful Crop Cardis & Midi Skirts

Our internet is in and out at the moment, so while it's in , I'm going to go for it! The outfits I'm sharing with you today are quite different on the surface, as the colour schemes are dramatically different!  The first one has lots of autumnal colours and a bit of a 1970s vibe and the second one features more summery colours with a slight nautical vibe!  When I wore these outfits recently, I never thought they were similar at all, until I was going through my blog photos and realised both outfits were made up of colourful tees, cropped cardis and midi skirts!  So in that realisation, this post was born! My favourite outfit is the first one, because I haven't worn those colours much before and I was happy pairing these items together for the first time!  I like the second outfit as well, but I do wear blue and red together quite often.  Actually, it might be a good outfit for Australia Day, which is coming up soon!

Can you believe it is almost the end of February?  I am still getting used to it being 2019, and the second month is already almost over!  This is my last week to get everything sorted out before my postgraduate studies resume again next week.  I haven't even ordered my textbooks yet!  I really need to get organised!   In the outfit I'm sharing today, I'm wearing one of my fave maxi skirts that I've had for many, many years!  I've worn it with many different coloured tops over the years, but this was the first time wearing my new burgundy coloured top.  I love the burgundy and wine colours that are around at the moment.  They're so pretty! The outfit: Top: H & M Skirt: Tree of Life Sandals: Gino Ventori Necklace: Diva I've had these beads for so many years now, but I never tire of wearing them!  They add a bit of colour and cheer to every outfit.   Bag: Marikai This bag is a new purchase.  I had been on the lo
