FML: Everlasting Sunshine

Sun-kissed footprints

She chases the sun

around the world

and leaves each day as the night fades in

and kisses her footprints…

I would forever chase the sun around the world, never letting winter catch up to me. So that’s what I’m doing this year.  I’ve decided to take 3 months off to travel Europe – just as summer here ends and Spring begins in Europe.

Speaking of the sun, this dress is everything summer is in a dress! The sheer printed fabric is so light and flowy in the warm breeze and the bright yellow with a bright florals is a perfect celebration of summer.  It’s been my favourite formal dress this summer, but also perfect for a romantic beach picnic, watching the last sunset of summer.

Which season do you wish never came to an end?

FML: Moonlight Stories

Tell me A story

“Tell me the story
about how the moon loved the sun so much…

…that she died every night, just to let him breathe”

A twist on Hanako Ishii’s quote

She was the type to fall in love with the sun and everything that was beautifully unreachable.  She’s not bubbly like the sun, for life has brought too much sorrow.  A sensitive soul that experienced too much before it was ready,  her smile no longer reaches her eyes.

“Can you truly smile again after such sadness?” she asks, “can you light up the day like the sun?”

I’m not a bubbly person.  I am complex, deep and sometimes withdrawn and because of this, I wouldn’t say I could be described as bubbly all the time.  Yes, I feel happiness, excitement and all those feelings, but overall I am more melancholic.

I think everyone feels these kind of insecurities every so often and as corny as it sounds, you just have to accept being you and focus on the positive things you can bring to someone’s life.  So instead of shining like the sun for everyone, I muster up whatever light I have and shine like the moon for the special people in my life, quietly in the background to light up their darkest hours.

And hopefully that is enough.

How do you confront your insecurities?

I love how magical this shoot turned out!  I got this maxi dress from a cute little pop up store in Bondi called The Cherry Shop.  I absolutely love the details on this dress especially the little shell-like buttons that line down the center and diverge into the split.

The shoes perfectly match this dress and I love how much detail has gone into these sandals.  There are so many different textures and materials used, yet the shoes still remain relatively simple looking.  If you’re interested, these little numbers were from Aldo.

See below for detail shots!
