Balos Bay

Time for just the two of us is a rare occasion these days and this special trip to Balos Bay was one of them. David and I didn't realise at the time what we would be in for. The trip involved a long car ride through some of the tightest heart-stopping cliff side roads and then an hour or so trek on a rocky path to reach one of the most beautiful beaches in Greece. Of course I was dressed completely wrong and my feet ached from stepping on all the little rocks - if there is ever a next time I will definitely wear more comfortable walking shoes!

The magnificent view through the hillside though speaks for itself. The sun set halfway down and we wanted to save some daylight for the trip home so although we did not make it to the beach we are so glad we took the journey to here. A memory we will never forget.

Balos Bay, you are beautiful.

Nice

March. Not sure how that happened but time has passed by far more quickly that I thought. I have been telling friends that I have been in hibernation. Taking time off to gather my thoughts before I tackle the year ahead. We are well into the year now though.

The last few months have involved travel, wedding planning and the announcement of our baby due in June. It has also been a time of personal milestones, one being that this blog is now 5 years old (can I consider my time away as 'long service leave'??) and another that I have completed my studies in interior design. The final exhibition was beautiful and I'm proud of everyone who worked so hard on the project and thank you to everyone who visited.

These photos were taken in Nice, a place I traveled to over Christmas and wish I could have stayed longer in. Still so beautiful in winter with the beach stretching for kilometres. It was also one of the best places I have found for shopping for both fashion and antiques. Do add Nice to your travel itinerary if you have the chance to.

I'm still easing myself back into this world again and will be back when I have more to share. In the meantime, I wanted to say 'hello' and not to worry. All is really good here and hope you are well too x

A hint of Spring

"More living and less work"

True to my word we took off for a short break to the Southern Highlands. We stayed at Peppers Manor and enjoyed a drink and food by the fireplace at night and a stroll through the gardens during the day. Daffodils and pansies were blooming. Spring is such a pretty time.

I took advantage of the warmer weather by wearing a playsuit and paired it with a long sleeve top just in case the weather turned, which it did so I'm glad I covered up a little.

Palm Springs was everything I imagined it to be. The low-line architecture against the tall desert mountains. The palm trees. Postcard perfect.

I have more to share from this resort city and its architecture but it's Friday and that means I show you photos of me wearing clothes and smiling.

Okay, this won't be solely a style post as I really want to show you where these photos were taken instead...

Fashion Friday: Out and about town

Strolling down cobblestone streets, discovering new stores, new loves and living and breathing the city. That's what I tried to do during my weekend getaway. I picked the perfect of weekends too. The sun was out and it didn't feel like the usual Melbourne weather at all.




On a fashion related note, a year and a half later and I finally caved and purchased a jumpsuit. Most comfortable outfit ever!

PS. I still have a couple Melbourne posts to go. Please bear with me. There is lots to share!
