SUMMER // 2 YEARS

 HEYHEYHEY
it's been way to long since i last posted and i'm sosososoosso sorry!! last weeks of school  = assignments, tests, projects, assessments = no inspiration or motivation.
on a happier / more important note yesterday (april 9th) was my two year anniversary of this blog and instagram! pre crazy but yeah i love you all and thanks for sticking by me ahhah ;))
i reckon as of yesterday its officially autumn - now i know autumn started like a month ago but for ages it was still warm/hot weather.  but yesterday it was grey, cloudy and pouring down with rain. i miss summer so much, there's two things i'm excited for in winter though - the clothes and my birthday -  so today, as i sit here in my tights, denim skirt and log sleeve top i am reminiscing on the amazing summer we had.
i spent summer laying on the beach, swimming in the pool and the salty ocean, taking a l o t of photos, making heaps of icy poles, watching the big bash, trying to control my salty hair, surfing and enjoying 8 weeks off school, and celebrating christmas/birthdays. summer is probably my most favourite season ever.
i have put whole lot of photos from my summer on and guess what.....i don't reckon this is even half of them!! hahahah. enjoy looking through the salty summer photos and hope you all have a fab Easter - look out for some fashion shoots coming soon x

FRESH START

 well hey you guysss....

didn't think it'd be too long until i had another post up. this is just  little update.

most of summer i lacked inspiration for this here blog of mine, but luckily i have had a fresh inspiration and i'm so ready to start posting for you all again!!

i've had a lot of time to think about my blog.

i think for a while i got really caught up on the looks, I was focusing on that more than the content i posted - not cool bella - i realise after wasting time that looks aren't that important if the quality of your posts and writing and photos is good!

I am going to continue posting normally (if i can find time - we're already loaded up with tons of homework) for any new comers - i post about fashion, food, photography, travel etc. i have so much planned for you all, lots of posts to catch up on and photos to show you and things to tell you!! so so so stoked for a fresh new year of blogging!

(quick side note: any of you seen Moana? i saw it with Georgina and i'm ADDICTED!! most amazing movie!!!)

B + B

last weekend was in-freaking-sane!! i finally got to meet the amazing Brooke from utterly brooke lea blog after over a year of talking everyday on the instaG and skyping and sending the occasional letter. we had and unreal time with some sick photo taking and other stuff!

 before i tell you about our weekend you probably noticed that i changed my name on instaG. I am changing my site name because for a while i have felt like a bit of a change and that the name miss bella boo didn't suit me as much as it did last year and i wasn't happy with it and it just wasn't helping my inspiration and creativity sooooo i changed it!! Bella By The Sea! i hope you all love it as much as i do and say HOLA to this new chapter because it feels like decaaades since my last chat, ahha not reallly but yah know.

 now onto the meetup! on saturday i went to brooke's house to meet her...we could not stop laughing it was so surreal! like, we were seeing each other in person not just on a screen!! ahh it was craazeh! after all the hyperventilating and insane-ness of seeing each other we chatted for a bit and went out to take photos, GoPro shots and polaroids. (all the photos in this post are go pro shots) we came back to look at our shots then had a minor accident which involved stepping in a nest of giant (legit giant people!!) bull ants and me getting bitten by one and watching it swell up to the size of a golf ball and go all red, we got changed to go out to dinner with her family and my mum and a local play sorta thing which was so lovely (but it ran very late which got our heads muddled up with daylight savings time)

 on the sunday we went to a wetland area near brooke's house and walked along the (partially) flooded boardwalk and got our feet and saltwater sandals completely soaked...... Brooke, her sister and i came back to her house and made some delish lunch and looked through some photos then headed out for more shoots!(comin soooon ahye)  we went out to see the sunset which was kinda non existent due to rain and clouds but fun none the less! then came back and made aaaamazing pizza's
