A day for Hayley.

I spent *a lot* of the day thinking of a dear, dear friend: the stunning, statuesque Hayley who is celebrating her 30th birthday today, too many miles north of where I am. This is her the day after my Colours of the Wind party, looking gorgeous, as only she can post-wild-party.

Love, and much more, to come when we're next together Ms. R. xoxo,

Darling Hills.

Oh, hey. 

I thought you may find this as blissful as I did. It's a perfect soundtrack to a drizzly Sunday. 

The track is called Darling Hills and it's by a lad called Joe McKee.

New Shanna Murray.

Oh, yes yes yes yes!! One of my favourite illustrators, Shanna Murray, has popped some new goodies in her shop.

Go forth and fossick babes.

Happy Friday.
xoxo

Romance was Born + Marvel Comics.

Oh, maaaaaaaan.

Some of my favourite looks from my stupidly-talented mates' label, Romance was Born, who opened Australian Fashion Week a couple of days ago. This collection was a collaboration with Marvel Comics.

They continue to blow my mind, every single year. Beyond awesome. Kapow!

Bondi.

I used to live here. Seriously. I used to live across the road from this majestic beach, known simply as Bondi.

Right now, down south in complex Melbourne, winter is creeping in a little more with each passing day. This morning Little One and I did our weekly swim and we had to drink our tea and eat our little brekkie snack in the car, for the skies were openly weeping on our regular spot in the park.

I love winter. Seriously. And summer, of course, but people are always dissing winter so I feel the need to say right now that I do, truly, love that crazy cat and all of the crazy shit she throws at us.

For me, there is nothing more peaceful than waking up to a mother storm belting down; hearing the rain incessantly begging at my bedroom window.

That said, for some reason she has been on my mind lately, that sneaky little Bondi. As beautiful in winter as she is in summer. Just with less people.

This is funny.
