Let's Get Lost



 Let's get lost. In a city that never sleeps.

Down streets we've never heard of before. With people who don't know our names.




Let's get lost, 30,000 feet high.
In clouds that look like fairy floss.
Where the air smells like freedom.



















Lets get lost, walking till the soles of our feet hurt, till sunrise becomes marmalade sunset and our hands are clammy from holding each other.


Lets get lost, in busy cafes, in tall coffees and honey dew. Burning our tongues cos it tastes so good.

Lets get lost in each other, when the darkness blankets over us and our limbs entangle awash with drowsy happiness.

Lets get lost.

Baby, let's get lost.

Melbourne, Goodbyes & Pikachu Onesies




I know. It's embarrassing how long I've been MIA for.
A whole two months.

In these two months, so much has happened. I managed to get really ill and had to defer college for a semester so I decided I needed to escape my little, old town and fly off to Melbourne for a week, just to breathe in a different kind of air.

Melbourne for the record...is beautiful.
Revisiting the city again after a whole two years filled with me lost nostalgia.

It's bristling with these massive apartment blocks and skyscrapers and highways that never seem to end.
The city is stunningly busy and walking around is like stepping into a catalogue for the Aussie version of the upper east side.

Everyone is super friendly and super busy and super designer and everywhere you go, the atmosphere is filled with this busy enthusiasm and passion for...LIFE!

I had so much fun and learned so much about myself in the short time I was there, living with loved ones, staying up too late, exploring the city and driving down dark freeways at night, the wind caught in my hair, the music up loud, the memories etched in the stars.

Most importantly, I learned that, even in a city as busy as Melbourne, anywhere can be the loneliest place in the world if you have no one.

 It was really hard saying goodbye.

And on that note, I'll leave ya'll with the last photo I took before I left, inspired by a few too many Johnny Walkers and someone who will always hold a special place in my heart... ;)

New Year


Rhi and I welcomed in 2014 with cold fountains, hot cinnamon donuts, the feel of wet grass saturating our dresses and the loud, familiar bang of fireworks.

Every year brings with it remnants of the past and the exciting possibility of something new.
This year, I shed regrets from the years before and welcomed in something beautiful.
No expectations, no regrets, just the happy, cathartic feeling of letting go...

Happy 2014!

Today Was Beautiful and May Never Come Again.


Whenever I go down the bay, I always have to go into my favourite lolly store. Even if my eyes only briefly gaze over the iced worms, chocolate almonds or lolly bananas. Today I chose salted pistachios and croissants over rainbow jellybeans.

It's almost a week till spring and I'm already counting down to the days when I can wear bikinis and boyfriend shirts and smell the seawater on my skin and the sun in my hair.

Sneek Peek: Summer in Winter.


© Marjorie Rose Photography 2013

Escaping the city for a few hours yesterday for an editorial photo shoot was amazing.
We drove all the way into the country and found this amazing field and creek filled with mulch and knee high reeds.  It was really sticky and the sun had turned the water, this amazing sky blue.

Hot chips and lemonade finished off the day.  Marjorie and I drove back down the highway, watching the marmalade orange sun, set over the sea.

My flats were totally wrecked and walking home in my new Malibu denim shorts and 1920s style bikini (below) was even colder.

But it was 100% worth it.
