Twenty Fourteen was a major year; a year of clarity, of discovery and endless inspirations. Escaping out of the suffocating high school cycle, it didn't take us long to realize what we wanted or needed to do.

So many chances were taken.

So many fears surfaced and resurfaced but eventually washed away.

Our supportive circle of friends encouraged us to laugh, to dream and to not run from our weird shadows that forever follows us.

Twenty Fourteen was the year that Marvic left his hometown of Darwin to start a new life here in Sydney. And any great city should pride themselves in the wealth of inspiration it provides. It sure gave us plenty of location spots to shoot at, probably more than we can cover in our whole lives. So what better way to thank beautiful Sydney than to do a final 2014 shoot with the Opera House and Harbour Bridge as the backdrop.

This year saw us to do something more with our creativity. Filling our days with aspirations and hopes (and stopping to do the occasional assignment), each idea became more absurd than the last. But as far as New Year's Resolutions go, we're just happy with figuring out how to use this new camera lens.

So to coincide with 2014 Sydney NYE theme 'Inspire', what inspired you this year? And let that continue to do so in Twenty Fifteen.

OUTFIT POST: Evergreen

Shirt: Saba … Chinos: Country Road

Shoes: Vans Australia … Watch: The Horse

Festive revelries and I have always shared a kind of ‘love/hate’ relationship. Of course, I delight in the beauty of Christmas festivities, being surrounded by the love of those dearest and gorging in the act of stuffing my face with the best food available. But as for the superficial gifting, it is there which bares my inner Grinch.

However, in recent years - as I’ve come to understand such sentiments on a deeper level, tossing aside the 10 year old antics of Christmas being all about gifts and toys - I can’t help but be swept away by the idea of sharing the unforeseen enigma of the Christmas spirit.

So, with that said, as a means of escaping the Christmas shopping crowds, the Boxing day sales - or for a better description, giving in to my incessant need to shop - my family and I ventured south.

Settled on the outskirts of suburbia, nestled amongst the calming wilderness, bordered by rows upon rows of sweetly perfumed stalks of flowers, a charming, yellow brick house. This was the seemingly fairytale-like backdrop to my festive season. And instead of suffocating myself in the usual Christmas attire - an oversized, ridiculously patterned knit sweater – I’ve been obsessively wearing this Saba shirt which reminds me so dearly of an emerald evergreen. It basically screams ‘I’m a Christmas tree!’

And with that, we at Primped and Primed would like to wish you all a very merry Christmas! - and we hope you have an amazing time celebrating, eating and basking in good company.

OUTFIT POST: Holidays

Top: Gypsea Swimwear … Skirt: Spell Designs … Sunglasses: Quay Eyewear

Being whisked away to a tropical paradise is perhaps one of the most refreshing ways to conclude a year. Just a suitcase full of swimwear and a heart longing for escape and adventure. These photos were taken early morning at Catseye Beach, Hamilton Island, Queensland. My travel diary will be posted after the festive season.

Merry Christmas lovelies and stay happy and healthy.
