Sydney beaches are white sand, blue waters, surfing and sun light sparkling like crystals across the ocean. We are extremely blessed to have this as our playground and the more that I am away from home, the more I realise how lucky we really are. The cliché is true. The little sis and I spent [...]

My love for stationery/gift stores knows no bounds. I could spend an entire afternoon peeking in and between shelves packed with notebooks and hand crafted ribbons. As I have shared in the past, books and pencils always stir up feelings of happiness for me. I’m not sure whether it’s a notion of childhood nostalgia remembering [...]

Here’s a Polaroid tip: when shooting a selfie in full sun, look at the location of your arm/camera before shooting. Adjust accordingly. So I am back in Vancouver and despite my big plans for blogging from Sydney, life turned out to be far too hectic and far too emotional. I spent lots of time with [...]

Over the past few weeks I have been spending some happy soul time with my family and friends in Sydney. Kel and I have been doing some sister bonding whilst walking the streets of Sydney with cameras in hand. Paddington is home to Sydney’s fashion strip with plenty of gorgeous designer stores and beautiful streets [...]

In my returning to Sydney discoveries, I’m loving: Children’s store Seed now has a women’s range- gorgeous clothing and accessories! Gorgeous homeware stores in close by suburbs. Latest Frankie and Real Living magazines by my bed. Peter Alexander’s new range in store. Magnation store in Newtown. Crust pizza (nothing new- just loving it once more). [...]

Can you feel it? That special feeling that happens in the in between days of Winter and Spring? Winter isn’t quite yet gone and Spring isn’t quite yet here allowing us to notice little snippets of happiness to come. Seeing as my last summer day was February 2009, I am crushing on Northern Hemispherian summer [...]

BBQs, beach parties, sausage sizzles, swimming, and lots of listening to the Triple J Hottest 100 music countdown (or the Anti JJJ Hottest 100 on FBI being led by our mates Angus and Jonny) are pretty much going on all over Australia today. On my first Australia Day away from home, I thought I’d share [...]

At the close of each year, on one blog or another I have done a “Best Of” of my own photography. This year I am sharing my favourite Polaroids of 2009. I probably used my Polaroid SX70 more so this year than any other, so I do believe it’s fitting. This shot was taken on [...]

Hello! Image by Pia Jane Bijkerk Life is still crazy around here for me as I embark on my last week in Sydney before we jetset away to Vancouver. My posts have been sporadic, but I can’t wait to settle in a new city to have time to blog all about my new adventures. We [...]
