Bikes and Beaches - Manly









Back to the place that makes me happiest.. SYDNEY!! On this day I actually ventured up north to Manly as a good friend of mine has made it his home. He played the perfect tour guide showing me all the best beaches by bicycle. Starting out with Collins beach, a beach which has been described as 'a piece of secret paradise'. Apparently this is great spot for cliff jumping, so of course, off that cliff I went! My first time doing this and I must say (the Aussie way) it was 'heaps' of fun! The last beach we made it to was Shelly beach, where I lived the dream of being a Mermaid snorkelling with fish bigger than my head. This day couldn't be a better example of why I want to call Australia my home.

Making Memories - Mauritius













Hang on a minute… Am I really back in tropical paradise for the second time this month? Apparently so, just further south of the Indian Ocean on the Island of Mauritius. Only this trip was made a little more special as the whole experience was shared with Mama Roo. Staying at the Shandrani resort we mainly enjoyed the grounds of the hotel with it being so pretty. The colours of the waters in the Blue Bay alone have me mesmerised. Something else I just LOVE about Mauritius - the locals don't half know how to make your trip a fun one, with their super relaxed outlook on life just wanting a good time. All without a care in the world, this is my kind of place!

Tropicana - Seychelles






With just 16 hours in the paradise of Seychelles, what to do? Make the very most out of that stunning white sandy beach, enjoy a coconut (standard) and take a paddle board out into the Indian Ocean. That's what I did anyway. Having the pleasure of staying at the Constance Ephelia Resort just adds to the whole experience, this has to be one of my most favoured hotels and it now has it's own beach swing 'bonus'. It really is amazing how much you can enjoy a place in just a short space, with this lifestyle I suppose you become a pro!

Dreaming - Sydney

Always. Dreaming of my favourite city as per usual. The place I'm happiest to visit and saddest to leave. Here is  my photo diary from a recent trip to Sydney, one of my best trips there yet. The timing couldn't have been better as I was able to spend one of my best friends Birthday's with him. To Celebrate we went on a day trip to Gordon's Bay, such a beautiful little beach with clear blue waters. As it is situated along the Bondi to Coogee walk we decided to do 'the walk' back to Bondi. Well, that was entertaining. I have no idea how but we somehow managed to take a wrong turn, I mean the no entry sign should have been a big enough warning! After traipsing though bushes and swamps the beautiful views of Bondi beach came into sight. We then watched the sun go down whilst having dinner in one of the many cafe's situated along side the famous beach. All in all, a perfect day and a perfect example of why I'm so in love with this city. Another massive attraction to me is the Australian shopping. My style to a t. The most satisfying shopping trips I've ever had have been in this country.

Beach Huts - Melbourne

Throwing back as its Thursday, to Feb this year and my day in Melbourne. It was finally my time to visit the beach huts of Brighton Beach. After seeing many photos of these, they were high up on my to do list. Even though the weather wasn't really in my favour it was a lovely day, I stocked up on my Aussie reads and and enjoyed some down time in Melbourne.










Attire for the day included my beach ready juju jellies, vintage skirt, cream patterned vest top with a denim jacket. Bag of choice as per usual a backpack, this one, brought from Topshop comes nearly everywhere with me and has had it fair share of wear and tear. Finished off with a pair of heart shaped glasses, Its always good to the world out of a love heart!!!
