FML: Moments in time

CountING life in moments


 

The spring time dew kisses my sweet lips

Blowing life into the cold grey shell

I come alive sprouting imperfect perfection

A fleeting beauty, so fragile, so pure

Counting moments and not months

I serve as a gentle reminder

That life is overwhelmingly beautiful

Yet also tragically short

Do you remember when you were a child and the days were so long?  When a year took forever to complete and Christmas was too far away?

Have you ever been so caught up in a moment that time stopped? And then in a second it’s over, never to repeat again. Maybe it was a moment of triumph, of accomplishment, or maybe it was a moment missed.

Each year I miss the Cherry Blossoms here in Sydney but this year I made sure to go see them!  I also combined it with a shoot featuring this gorgeous playsuit from Alice McCall, one of my favourite brands. Very fitting with the Cherry Blossom theme this piece features delicate and intricate lacing which I love.

I want to take a moment to talk about moments missed.  I find that life often throws you choices and opportunities that you only get a split second chance to seize, before you lose them forever.  I’ve learnt that if you’ve found someone special tell them and don’t let them go because finding a good person is rare. Or if you have the chance to travel or take on a new business venture, just do it.  You’ll gain so much more from taking the chance, than not and always left wondering about the what ifs.

 

Was there a time when you let a moment slip through your fingers?

 

FML: Woodland Picnic

Top: Miss Patina | Shorts: H&M | Shoes: Jo Mercer | Cardigan: Urban Outfitters

Escape to the Woods

Take the path untaken, travel an unexpected journey. Feel the wind in your hair, the sun on your face…and have a picnic!

OK. I realise that may have been a somewhat abrupt anticlimax. But I’m running on lack of sleep.  While I am aware the weather is getting colder, an autumn picnic is the perfect date idea. Why? Well it’s still warm enough that you can dress cute, but it’s also just that right amount of chilly that warrants a cosy snuggle under a blanket without it being too cold.

For this look, I matched my gorgeous Railway Girl Top from Miss Patina, with my denim shorts to add an essence of femininity to my casual denim shorts. I paired this with my favourite sandals (don’t you just love the stitching on these shoes!?) and completed the look with an off-white cardigan with elbow patch details.

Anyway, enough about fashion, there’s food to be had! Mmmmmm
