Walls around the World - Wynwood

Something I have been missing a lot recently.... A good old TRAVEL post! So here is a little tale from the first stop on this 6 week adventure - Miami - home to the wonderful Walls of Wynwood!

Thanks to the 'Monocle Travel Guide to Miami' we were introduced to this artistic area, with many of the places on our to do list being part of this 'up and coming' neighbourhood. Panther Coffee was high on the list and started off our day just perfect (finally, a good cup of coffee, something greatly missed from Australia)! From here we went off exploring these brightly coloured walls, a street art exhibition from artists all over the world which has become a must see in Miami. Being the wanderer I am, the surrounding area also had to be explored where we discovered that actually, much to my delight, the whole neighbourhood had been coloured in!  The coffee and walls are not all colourful Wynwood has to offer, the day can continue on to some boutique shopping, craft beer hangouts and TACOS, yummy tacos!

Op Shop Delights

It doesn't really get any more simple than shopping at the local Op shop (and having massive success with it). Here in Paddington we are blessed to have such a humongous Vinnies overflowing with goodies. I like to go and have a good rummage once a week. This week I found this blouse extremely similar to one I was close to spending $200 on for less than 10% of the price. Bargain! Don't get me wrong I love to treat myself to luxury clothing every now and then but you can't beat a good saving from time to time. And whats better still, it's highly unlikely anyone will be wearing the same thing! 

Windswept Walks

Literally blown away, not only by the wind but by the beauty of the ocean. The feeling from the sea breeze is one that always makes me happy. Taking a walk by the ocean is one of the most simple things to do and one of the most beneficial. I was left fresh as a daisy on this Sunday and ready to have a super productive week - 'A Sunday well sent brings a week of content.' Wearing A two-piece from the latest Zulu & Zephyr collection PALMS perfect for a sunny day!

Into the Woods

Because collaborating is fun. What's not to love about teaming up and getting creative with fellow talented females. Dressing up in my favourite brand, having my hair and make up done then playing around in nature having photos taken. This spot in Sydney Park works just perfectly for the bohemian theme we were going for. I actually read in a book recently that some days you should go for a walk in the woods, it can be quite inspirational!

The Simple Life

A post I have been wanting to write for a while now, talk about how a simple life really can be magical. What I want to do here, show that anyone can live this kind of life and inspire people to do so (or better still show that you already do). It's ever so simple; savour the simple things! Like a walk in the morning, shopping at the markets, treating yourself to fresh flowers, enjoying a muffin or simply stopping to drink a cider on a rooftop bar over looking the beautiful city you live in! This day included all of the above and I couldn't wipe the smile off my face. I mean my Free People dress worn may have a little to do with it also! So finally I am getting used to living back in the real world and now I can honestly say I'm loving it!

FP Me

In these past few weeks I have started up my FP Me profile on freepeople.com. A place for all us folk obsessed with Free People to share our latest styles and let others know exactly what we are wearing. I really can't get enough of it. With the incredible variety of this brand there is always something new popping up and giving me those love heart eyes. Im currently obsessing over the outfit featured above and very happy to have it hanging in my wardrobe.
