Terrigal.

Wearing: Camilla and Marc top (from sample sale), Zara jeans, scarf from Brunswick Markets, near Byron Bay, Michael Kors watch.

This Easter Monday I traveled up to Terrigal to meet my sister who was staying in Newcastle. We thought instead of one coming to the other why not meet half way and explore somewhere we hadn't been before. Driving in to Terrigal felt a lot like being at home on the Gold Coast. Wide roads, open spaces, big pine trees lining the beach, a concentrated area of people and shops all buzzing thanks to the public holiday. It's a different, more carefree vibe than that of being around the city. We did what tourists do and drove around, parked, got out, explored a beach, had lunch, people watched, you know the routine. A storm had been brewing since we arrived. The sky had been turning a deeper shade of grey every time I looked up at it. Racing against time (and somewhat like that Tornado movie in my mind) we managed to make it to Long Jetty for some quick pictures before the storm fully set in. Those last moments before the heavy spots of rain fell to the ground felt electric, like we had won the storm chasers race.
