Time to plan your trip to Byron Bay Australia... if not for a holiday then just to visit the gorgeous boutique which is Spell & the Gypsy Collective. Established by sisters Elizabeth and Isabella, the label channels 'their inner gypsy spirits'. 

Feathers, shells, fringing and turquoise make up the bulk of their design aesthetic. All these elements imply such a raw perspective on fashion, stripped off any artificial glam as if their pieces are the fundamental basics of survival. The newest lookbook with a bohemian and carefree vibe makes me wonder: what is study anyways when you can run away to the desert clothed in maxi skirts?

My favourites: Hanalei Shell Skirt in SAND or BLACK and Turquoise Mountain Cuff

Officially the first post of 2013 ... HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

With the request of my friend to make a floral crown for a NYE celebration, I ditched an end of the world rave party (congratulations everyone for surviving) and opted to sit on my ass and channel my inner genius and creativity. All jokes aside, the result of the anti-social 3 hours was the mother of all floral crowns ... so intricate and complicated to make. Trying to tackle all the stubborn wire made me so crazy I had to punch a pillow in the midst of the mayhem.

This cursed crown however ended up being the center piece of this look in which I styled all the pieces accordingly. I'm wearing shorts from Paint It Red which was sent to me from winning an Instagram contest ($500 worth of clothing). My styling train of thought was literally this simple; floral accents on shorts compliment the flowers on my crown, shorts have black lining ... so black shoes and top will tone down the craziness ... pink belt: well that just works with the general colour palette.

Final Note: Shooting on the road is dangerous... don't try this at home kids.
