ELLO FROM LONDON

It has been exactly one week since I landed on this God loving, beer drinking, mind blowing creative hub and I think I love it!
London has been very kind and welcoming of me with generous sunshine and warm weather, but no matter where I go I am reminded by the local Londoners that the weather is not usually this magnificent and not to expect it to stay... Misleading? I don't mind.
From first impressions London seems to be ever so similar to Sydney, but on a massive scale! This may be due to the large population of expats now calling Australia home (God love you Stephen) or vice versa.
London is extremely busy and there is always something going on, let it be food stalls that fills the cobble stoned streets with wild aromas of cuisines from all over the world, to fashion music video shoots on the streets of Brick Lane or masses of trash and treasure antiques that is to be rummaged through at the markets! 
There is so much happening here and there is still loads more to take in... The city is beautiful and charming and no matter where you look there is a reminder of the history that lays within this city, the architecture is grand and I could not help my self but to think that at some point of it's existence these buildings could have very well hosted a momentous point in the history of this nation or even the world, so it feels to me anyway.
So far the few places I have managed to check out is Oxford Street, Brick lane Market, London's Gherkin and Covent Garden... and don't let the name fool you, there is no garden there as I found out (awkward!).
Well I'm off to Portugal tomorrow for 4 days, I better sign off and start packing!

THE GUY DOWN UNDER for THE BLACK AND WHITE BOARD & FLIGHT FROM VENUS





















What a fun and exciting day it has been and not forgetting to mention productive! Today was the photo shoot with an amazing up and coming style and beauty blogger that has come from a land far far away of Éire or Ireland for you non Gaelic speak folks. Jennifer is beautiful, fun and ambitious and professional in every aspect of the business and she is also a very dear friend of mine.
We have been talking about doing a photo shoot for many moons now but the planets have never allowed us time to make it happen, well today it happened and the results speak for it self.

You can follow Jennifer's blog for all things fashion and beauty @ http://theblackandwhiteboard.com/

On today's shoot I was fortunate enough to get my hand on 11 pieces of beautifully hand crafted natural crystal jewellery by Flight From Venus. When I saw these I knew I had to have these for the photo shoot as there is nothing else on the market that looks quite like them... These hand crafted pieces has a real high street appeal definitely for the fashion conscious modern woman or man... that doesn't want to conform to commercialisation. These are all standout statement pieces that can be worn alone or layered and Jen sure knows how to work them into her style!

EASTER LONG WEEKEND

The weekend has been beautiful sunny and cool but is coming to an end, the siblings, cousins and I decide to head out to the local park to play a short game of basket ball before we head on home to Sydney. 
We got to the park and before the ball game even commenced, it quickly came to an end when we could no longer contain the inner children within us and started racing for the giant slide!
I've forgotten how much fun I had on these playground equipments as a child, but thanks to my siblings, cousins, nephew and niece they kindly reminded me how the simple things in life is really what makes me happy... and not forgetting to mention the perfect landscape for amazing photos.
