Sanguinely Spoilt At Sea Sea

Australians know our coastline is one of the most beautiful in the world; endless golden beaches and coves fringed with forests teeming with wildlife, pristine water and great surfing but ask anyone to name a place to stay between Sydney and the Byron region and they'd be hard pressed to think of great hospitality options […]

Blue Fish + Loquat Salad

This video was shot in Vis, Croatia a couple years ago when pandemic measures compelled me to take a hiatus from the blog to concentrate on mental health and wellbeing. In the process I turned into that expat who wondered why my parents ever left when the frenzied cacophony of pandemic fears I was experiencing […]

6 perfect cover ups for a day at the beach

Summer is my favourite time of the year: stone fruits, sunshine, and long, languid hours by the water. Sartorially, however, I often get confused. Beach time is usually just one part of the daily plan - a replenishing stopover en route to a café, a friend’s barbecue, or that gallery exhibition I’ve been dying to […]

5 Trends to Consider Investing In This Summer

Pip Edwards and I have been friends for 20 years, way back when we had terrible hairstyles, wore questionable clothes and did a lot of dancing on the weekends. We both had kids before any of our friends and then navigated heartbreak, single motherhood and career life in parallel timing, so these days when life […]

What's new in shoe trends?

I must say I was so excited to shoot this story on my recent European holiday, as Venice has always been one of my favourite places in the world. Apart from gondolas, bridges and canals, this town is also magic for its culture and architecture, the highlight of which I got to experience while shooting […]

Andalucian Adventures

This month I had a chance to travel to Andalusia, the southern part of Spain where citrus trees line city streets and parks, Muslim and Christian heritage coexist in the most marvelous ways, tapas is the name of the game and flamenco passion ignites long Mediterranean nights. With a few days spare before my work […]

A roadtrip in Spain, but make the car a Bentley GT Convertible

Ola Espana! Recently I made a trip to the other side of the world to attend an incredible weekend event hosted by Bentley Motors. I really didn't know what to expect but I knew that it involved driving their Continental GT convertible from Malaga to Seville and please tell me, who would not want to have […]

48 hours in Tuscany

A few years ago, I decided I didn’t want to turn around when I am older and realize that I have run out of time to see all the places I’ve always wanted to go to, so I decided that I would travel to a couple of bucket list places each year […]

Meet Vis, the island made famous by Mamma Mia 2

A COMPLETE GUIDE TO BEACHES, RESTAURANTS + THINGS TO SEE AND DO I debated writing this story as I really didn't want any more people to go to the island I have been taking my annual summer vacation on for the last 14 years and yet all my squirrelling away was foiled with the release […]

COMPLETE BALI TRAVEL GUIDE

Bali was a complete mystery to me until a couple of months ago, when I travelled there for the first time out of the impending Sydney cold. Struck by the tropical humidity and incessant verve of Denpasar upon arrival, I ventured to find hidden pockets of paradise in three directions. Canggu Out of […]

The Magic of Mumbai

India is comparable to a drug- one that blows minds wide open, horrifying and enchanting at the same time, yet making the explorer crave it more intensely with each visit. Mumbai was my first port in India and my first introduction to the country’s ability to beguile with contrast - here you’ll find 5 star […]

POSTCARDS FROM COOBER PEDY

Walking past opal digging equipment in a Zimmermann dress, Hermes hat, Aquazurra sandals, Jordan Askill heart and diamond pave ring, Ole Lynggaard pearl and diamond ring, Cartier Love bracelet worn throughout. As the days get longer and warmer I start shedding layers like an overexcited snake after hibernation. Summer is my favourite time of […]

I have written a couple of these posts before - if you’ve read them, you’ll know that I take my onboard comfort seriously. Along with bringing along my water […]

When one pair of sunglasses isn't enough ~ a summer diary

( Versace sunglasses from Sunglass Hut, Hermès scarf, Max Mara bra top, Tiffany & Co Smile necklace ) As the summer came to pass, unfairly amidst 6 weeks of rain, I was inclined to shout curses whilst waving a closed fist to the heavens. How dare the powers up there deny us of the best […]

SWIM+RESORT SERIES DIARY

As confounding as 2016 has been, there were moments within it that were absolutely amazing. Sure there were deaths and natural disasters yet moments of magic cropped up unexpectedly too, leading to larger picture realisations and sudden insights into the foggy crossing roads ahead.
