the golden hour.

Images by the loveliest Love Yaz. <3 

...And amid mountains of forgotten paperwork and an inbox overflowing with unopened emails, we suddenly find ourselves in the heat of the Australian summer with Christmas astonishingly almost upon us. 

It's interesting how travelling the world opens one's eyes to the beauty on your very own doorstep. These images were taken in the neighbourhood that I grew up in and yet, I only just realised how lovely the sun sets on these LA-esque streets, imbuing them with a perfect golden hue of light. Utterly whimsical and yet completely taken for granted all these years. 

Apologies for the delayed post but have been busy busy busy with many exciting projects, which I am bursting to tell you all about very very soon...

Have a scintillating week and sending copious amounts of sunshine to my readers in the colder parts of the world. <3

Much love, Mandy. xx

{P.S. Sending an enormous amount of love to my darling friend Brookie, who has been ever so supportive over the last few weeks - you are treasured friend! <3}

  3. Lovely post beautiful lady :) I just wish that I could wear sandals, short(er) skirts with no tights in december.. it's so boring not seeing much sunshine, and considering myself as a summer person, I get so excited when I see your summery photos! I hope you have a lovely week, and hopefully you will have time to relax soon!!

    Lots and lots of love, <3

  4. I always forget that the weather in Australia is a total 180 of what we experience in the US. How interesting to experience Christmas in warm weather!

    Anyway, this is a lovely outfit and that golden hour sure makes it feel romantic :)

  8. You look very lovely in those delicate pastels and florals surrounding you! At least it's not only me who's struggling to stay on top of the inbox and was completely blindsided by Christmas....thanks for sharing that bit of sunshine, it's revitalizing!

  9. Once again, I'm all out of breath and almost words too, to describe the beauty that Yaz captures of you in her photos. I'm in love with both the styling and location of this photoshoot - both so magical. There's something about floral headdresses that just deeply appeal to me. This "Midsummer Night's Eve" meets modern, sassy woman is simply gorgeous girls xx
