Hello, lovely people!
After a whirlwind week at MBFWA, yesterday I celebrated by 19th birthday at home with my family! A nice day with my favourite people and an amazing cake!
I thought I would sit down and write a post about the 19 things I've learnt in 19 years, something different rathe than a birthday haul, photo diary or outfit post. Enjoy!
1. People go but how they left always stays.
2. Don't be afraid to ask questions or for help.
3. Listen before you speak.
4. Your opinion matters just as much as everyone else's.
5. Inspiration can be found everywhere... literally.
6. Don't be afraid of new experiences.
7. Take advantage of every opportunity that comes your way.
8. Family will always have your back.
9. Trust yourself before anyone else.
10. Money doesn't grow on trees, be wise with how you spend.
11. Cake and chocolate make life so much better.
12. Everything tastes better with tomato sauce.
13. Some things just never get old, no mater how many times you've seen, done or had them.
14. People on Instagram are a lot nicer than those on Facebook (just saying ;) )
15. If you're not perfect and you're life isn't perfect, why should Instagram feed be perfect?
16. People who want the best of you and want you to succeed in life are the best kind of people.
17. You might forget what people said, but you'll never forget the way they made you feel.
18. Be obsessively grateful.
19. Don't act like you're better than anyone else. Be humble in both success and failure.
Thankyou to everyone who sent birthday messages and comments to me yesterday!

Well what a week it's been! Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Australia has seriously been one of the coolest experiences of my life! To go from volunteering there last year, to attending as an industry guest this year, I am super grateful to all the brands and designers who allowed me to attend their shows and view their amazing collections!
I would have to say my favourite shows were Lee Mathews and Blair Archibald. The Lee Mathews runway was like a breath of fresh air amongst all of the glitz and glamour, whereas Blair Archibald brought something very minimal but still very unique to his debut MBFW runway show.
The Whyte Studio brunch event was also a highlight of my schedule. Their collection was beautifully executed and still so incredibly wearable.
Shoutout to Courtney for being my right hand gal the entire week, going with you made my week so much better.
Until next time, much love,

Much love,
Hello lovely people!
After doing some polls on my Instagram Stories, one of the most popular choices for today's blog post was 'how I edit my photos'! My process is super simple, but I've attached images of apps I use and different options I use in each app to get the finished image.
1. Start with app 'Colour Story' and choose the photo you would like to edit.
In this app, I go to 'Filters' and choose the 'Essential' pack. From here, I click on the 'Ice Ice' filter (a nice filter that turns images a bit cooler and smoother) and turn it down so its set at about 75%.
2. Use the app 'Snapseed' to fine tune the image.
First, I crop the image. Sometimes I do square or sometimes I do a 4:3 crop.
Then, I click 'Tune Image' to adjust brightness. (usually between +20 and +50)
Contrast. (not a lot, no more than +15)
Saturation. (no more than +20)
Sometimes I play with highlights, warmth and shadows if needed. For this image, I added +8 of warmth.
And there you have it! Not too much goes into the editing process as I love to keep my photos bright and natural... nothing ever looks fake or altered.
Much love,

Don't just go with it, have a flare for it.
