Outfit || March: Summer Daze

Summer is almost just a fleeting memory now, nothing like the mid-January heat that I took these photos in. Summer for me was bare-feet and spending hours outside on my picnic mat embroidering. Summer is always lovely (on the days it isn't melting you) but I am so excited that Autumn is now upon us! If you want to learn the definition of beautiful just come to Australia in the first two weeks of March, they are my favourite two weeks of the entire year.  I can't even explain the love I have for that little pocket of time, everything just feels so alive.

This cute little overall/dress ensemble was a christmas present from the best friend ever Carly, who just happens to know what I love perfectly? How does she do it? It makes me so happy. Paired with the glitter that I've worn on my cheeks every single day of the year so far (yes, you heard correctly) it's an outfit that screams happiness before you even have time to smile.

I just looked back on my outfit post from March last year and I think I look so little? Time is a crazy thing I tell you.

You know what else is crazy? These gifs! Oh I loved making them so much.

February. Forever the month that flies by and lags on all at the same time.

Things That Make My Soul Smile

Do you ever have those things that you think of and you're suddenly filled with an overwhelming happiness which seems to last for just a few seconds? I'm sure there's a word for that feeling but I am yet to find it, instead I've made a list of all the things I've found so far that give me that sense of unbridled joy.

Let me know some of the things that would be on your list!

A New York Photoshoot

Flash back to June last year, I'd just landed in New York and was completely on my own. Just a few weeks before I'd flown in an email pinged into my inbox from a Russian photographer (Vera) who had read and enjoyed my poems and was wondering if we could meet up. She told me she'd be in New York at the same time and we worked out we had only a few measly hours that fit both our schedules before we went off to do the completely different things that had brought us to New York in the first place.

So less than 24 hours since I'd touched down from my 22 hour flights we explored Central Park together; two foreigners in a place that neither knew.

It was so bizarre to be the subject of someone else's photos, the only time I'm pretty much ever in front of the lens is when I'm taking outfit photos and even then it's only me, my tripod and a great deal of self-timer.

I love how the photos turned out, perhaps most of all because a large amount of them were taken when I wasn't actually aware of it.

So here they are: a reminder of that one summer's morning in New York.
