Diner en Blanc - Sydney, 2014.

Diner en Blanc was one of the most amazing nights of my year. I remember reading about the original Diner en Blanc a few years ago before my boyfriend, his sister and I set out to have our very own "White Days" (see post one here and post two here). To be offered the opportunity to go to the real 'white day' was like a dream come true. From the last minute running around to make sure you have everything you need to the suspense of getting on the bus and seeing what surprise location it takes you to was like a roller coaster. Only to arrive and forget about all of the preparation that had gone in to the day and live completely in the moment surrounded by 3000 like minded people all dressed head-to-toe in white. The whole experience felt so surreal yet so natural at the same time - like it was all meant to be. We decided to keep things simple and easy food wise opting for cheese, fruit and dip platter with some delicious homemade blueberry and white chocolate pastries. This was all washed down with beautiful white wine and a gorgeous sunset.

The DJ set the tone for the evening but when he played one of my favourite songs, Paris by Friendly Fires, I felt like I was living in some dream like heaven. The sparkler moment was a real highlight. Looking around in the dark of the night to see everyone holding fiery gold sparks was breathtaking. 

The only way I can sum up this night is with the word "magic". It was every sense of the word and more. A truly unforgettable experience that I'll remember forever... Or until we do it all again next year!

It's Saturday night in Sydney and after a hot, sunny day it's now storming and raining. I'm going through my backlog of photos on my camera and have found these ones from our trip out to Bondi Beach in early November for Sculpture by the Sea. To beat the crowds we got up super early on a Sunday morning and ventured down to the beginning of the walk. Sometimes getting up super early is hard but the rewards can be great. For our efforts we were greeted with beautiful, soft, early morning light, a few wanderers and time to take all of the surrounding sculptures in. Although Sydney beaches are typically very crowded and the water is a little cool they are incredibly beautiful when they are uninhabited early in the morning.

There is no doubt that a pair of blue jeans are a girls best friend. They are effortless, versatile and never outdated and always make for a trusted ally when you are not sure what to wear. I am loving the true blue shade of jean paired with a simple shirt, some cool shoes and tote for easy spring days.

After nearly six months of living in Sydney I am finally back online and can resume working on my blog! Words can't describe the excitement last night when the little wireless symbol lit up on my Mac and I was back in to the portal of the online world. There were all of these things that I had made a mental list of that I would do as soon as I got back on to the internet but when it finally happened everything was so overwhelming that I just dipped my toes in Pinterest-land for a little while before venturing out into the inter webs. 

However living without the internet did have its positives, like watching Seinfeld every night, going to bed earlier, reading books (remember those old things...?!), writing in diaries and learning how to crochet. So it hasn't been all that bad. 

In regards to the above photos, this has been my go-to going out outfit of late. The mercury has begun to drop overnight as autumn is well and truly setting in. This calls for more coverage in which I've turned to a long sleeve blouse, skirt and boots. The bare legs can weather the cool brunt for a little longer while the boots keep your feet nice and toasty.

PS - apologies for my scarred legs - they have taken a beating of late; firstly falling on the stairs at work and requiring three stitches and secondly, and very embarrassingly, taking a tumble on the treadmill at the gym... it wasn't as bad as these though, promise!
