Bungalow





This has to be my favourite style of house - the California Bungalow... here are some international versions, however the red brick Aussie-version with front verandah, frangipani tree and wind chimes is the quintessential family-surf house :)

Blue Crush







Lust-worthy editorial. Even though it's a few years old, it's a spread like this 2003 Elle US editorial that still inspires me as we head into summer Down Under. I'll be scouring every vintage shop in Sydney that I can to find a take on Miu Miu's Hawaiian-print Cheongsam.
Aloha.

Holiday Dreaming



Can't wait to get to Burleigh this year.....
