Amazing new work from my photographer Ali Mitton. Anyone from Gold Coast will probably recognise this building! I've wanted to stop there so many times and take a photo, love all the old retro hotel signs on the coast.

Ali also shot the cover for the latest Pony Anarchy magazine Issue #5....the sequins looks so pretty capturing the light.

Toni & Guy – Hair Meets Wardrobe COMING SOON

2012-05-03T12:55:00.000+10:00

It feels like I've been away from the blog for so long. I know it was only a few weeks, no big deal, but I've always blogged every few days for the last 5 years (can you believe this is my 5th year of blogging). So that was the longest break I've taken in 5 years!! (least from what I can remember).

In the few weeks I've been gone lots of exciting things have happened!!!

One of those is the first glimpse at a recent campaign I did with Toni & Guy 'Hair Meet Wardrobe : Blogged & Bound' was released. I really love how this is all evolving, I wasn't sure what to expect when I first took part, but knew I would be in good hands. I love how the team have really captured the creative spirit of blogging! and each of our own styles. Very excited to see the rest of the campaign.

Also as part of it I did a post for The Vine - When Hair Made the moment.

Lots more to share.... like pictures from Fashion Week and the boohoo party, as well as lots of inspiration that has been piling up on my computer, but will have to blog that soon.

Good to be back

Daydream Lily is...

On holidays. Well not really a holiday just taking a few weeks off from blogging because I have lots happening and have been unwell. I wish I had the energy to keep up with daily blogging, but right now with being sick and working full time, it is very hard. So I decided best I take a few weeks off... at least till after Fashion Week which is the first week of May. Then I'll be back nice and fresh..with lots of lovely things to share with you all.

wearing : Ray-Ban aviators c/o Shades Daddy,

Swan top from Glebe markets Sydney, Secret Squirrel pants, Novo sandals

Since my bestie has moved up here I've been showing her around to all the places I like hanging out on the Gold Coast. Cafes, markets and beaches, we've been going on adventures every weekend! She also happens to be great with the camera so I've been taking the opportunity to snap some more photos for the blog. We headed to The Village Markets a few weekends back to take some pictures of my new Ray-Bans ShadesDaddy recently sent me. I love that their a smaller size than other Ray-Ban aviators I've owned, they fit my face nicely and don't slip off.

I hope everyone is having a great Easter break. x

PS. Do you like my new centre part? I've been a side part girl for so long! I had a shoot recently where the hair stylist did my hair with a centre part and I really loved it... so I've been trying it out since.

The great blogging divide - the in crowd and the rest of us. Bit of a sensitive topic, but I feel Carly had some good points about where blogging has been heading lately and I do hope we can all remember why we started blogging and be true to ourselves.
