SUNRISE ON BONDI

Last weekend I did the unthinkable (for me), I stayed in on Saturday night, in order to get up at 4.30am on Sunday morning to watch the sunrise on Bondi Beach. As part of the Sydney Food Festival there were loads of amazing breakfast food stalls, a full orchestra and a soprano. Not a bad way to start the day.

J.W. ANDERSON x TOPPERS

This tortoise print tee is just half of my J.W.Anderson x Topshop order which took 20 days to get here from London. By the time it arrived Topshop had opened in Sydney, but neither of my choices were stocked, thank goodness, the wait was worthwhile.

I probably couldn't look less like my age and more like my shoe size in these pictures but sometimes it's fun to channel your inner 7 year old. 


Wearing: J.W. Anderson x Topshop T-shirt, Peter Jensen Dungarees and trainers by Superga

ASOS IN YOUR WORLD

Unless you've been living under a rock you'll already know that ASOS has just launched an exclusive range for Australia, pretty awesome idea if you ask me. Case in point - these are currently in my 'Save for Later' list which ought to be renamed, 'Saved for MUCH Later' because there is no way I'll be wearing anything like this for another 6 months here...



Cue Australia exclusive collection launch - and these bad boys will be in my shopping basket tomorrow (and here by the weekend for 10 bucks. What are you doing to me ASOS?). Much more suited to the circa 30 degrees we're enjoying in Sydney right now.



Last week I went to one of the three Sydney parties to celebrate the launch of the collection, where it was great to catch up with some familiar ASOS faces!



It might look like an ordinary wristband, but it was linked to my Facebook so whenever I had my photo taken, one scan and it went straight to my Facebook wall. Pretty staggering (and slightly scary in the wrong hands) technology!


Note to people launching anything ever, the best way to do it, is to take over an entire building with a video projection:


I wore ASOS obviously.

With DMs. The weather was being British that morning.

INSTA-ROUND UP

I'm struggling to get my head around the fact that it's October. Usually at this time of year I'm starting to plan my Winter wardrobe, getting excited about layers again and choosing a coat, but here I'm obessively checking the weather to see whether this weekend we'll have a beach day or not. It's confusing, but in a good way.
Perhaps as a result of the sudden hike in temperatures I haven't been around here much, but here's some of what I've been up to...



1. First festival of the season - Parklife
2. Festival outfit - ASOS Africa jacket, Glassons dress, House of Holland x Superga trainers
3. Summer manicure
4. Topshop x J.W. Anderson - worth the 20 days shipping time
5. Gelato from Messina i.e. the best Gelato outside of Italy
6. Typical ad for a Surry Hills garage sale
7. Maroubra Beach
8. Palm Beach outfit - ASOS shirt, Glassons dress, Havaianas
9. My favourite kind of Sundays = Bloody Mary Sundays at The Norfolk
10. Package from home!
11. Sydney breakfasts #1 Hyde Park
12. Sydney breakfasts #2 Bondi Beach at 6.36am
13. Rubiks cube on Maroubra Beach
14. Afternoon sun pre daylight savings
15. Dream homes on Bourke Street

ROOM PORTRAITS

Can't stop looking at these images by Menno Aden. They're the kind of images that every time you look you see something you didn't see before. Sometimes it's good to get another perspective on things.
