Snow Snaps

Jenna looking oh so cute amongst the snow flakes!

Last weekend, the snow road trip came upon us!

Lots of my friends are pretty decent snowboarders and for some reason I thought I could match their abilities. While I am still nursing my sore limbs and bruised behind, I did improve (can even turn now - woo hoo!) and would love to get up to the magical snow mountains again this season. But there is nothing like a bit of play time in the snow with a camera to pass the time while I waited for the rest of the crew to carve up the black runs.



Personally, I battled to see a metres in front of me on the foggy, child-friendly green run. Who are all those little tackers who zipped by me in their skis anyway?! Still, despite all the preparation and layers of clothing / equipement required I snapped here, there is always time for a snow ball fight and to stick your tongue to the fresh air while the flakes tickle your exposed skin.

How pretty, this was the coverage just after 2pm on Monday!
 ah oh - who's Jakey going to go for this time...

...looks like a miss

Spring Summer Dreaming


hmmm....I am very glad to see the Spring Summer fashion promotions getting started. neer mind that August has just begun, I'm ready to celebrate the oncoming season! I have been drooling over my Greece shots from last year for far too long now - time for more warm memories to emerge...

For fashion, it looks like there are plenty of pale hues lingering like this sunset, matched with some industrial cobalt blues and khaki greens. and neutrals and nudes. not such great tones for those Mediterraneans among us who don't want to look like their skin and clothes are all one tone (minus a sun tan right now remember!)

BUT I have made my first purchase. From Ambercrombie online, including this stylish shirt:


Hoping to match it with some paler tones as it gets warmer and my skin gets a little darker. Okay back to design work now....
