striped skirt

ahh i'm just casually sitting here eating a vegemite sandwich reminiscing on the beautiful weekend i got to meet utterly brooke lea (check out her hella good blog n insta you won't regret it) and thinking about how much fun we had!! ahh good times.  recent times though have been kinda hectic n crazy - why i haven't been able to post these as soon as i'd like- but i have a few VEEERRRYY exciting things coming up this year that are keeping me going!

this fashion shoot has got to be my favourite yet....brooke you insane photographer!! (seriously though can we just take a moment to appreciate how stunning these pics are). it features my casual white shirt ... which now isn't so white as I did a screen print stencil onto it heheh. and the skirt OH THE SKIRT! my oh my oh my isn't it just amazing? a thing to behold, i feel like i should be holding it up to everyone singing the circle of life (haha that lion king reference...no? ok just me) and brooke was kind enough to give it to me ( 'hand-me-down' dress hells YES!) and it's originally from pare basic. also what were my go to boots last winter except they now don't fit me anymore :(( also-how could i forget- brooke's infamous felt grey hat! which we both are kinda a lot in love with hehehe

scroll down and check out these hella good photos (more random best friend appreciation :P) and enjoy yah week xxx

BELLA WEARS: boots - target Australia // skirt - pare basic // top - junk // hat - Kmart // necklace - ahh made that myself 

summer starts

 so on wednesday was the end of school for the year!   the end of year 8, and i'm going to be perfectly honest with you all; i am in a way, devastated. maybe not that extreme, i'm sad. This year has been awesome for me. just because I've really loved it. and this may sound weird, but i really have loved school this year. don't get me wrong i am stoked for the summer and holidays but school keeps me busy, i see my friends and i love my class and now it's over for 2016. i'm really gonna miss it. but holidays are gonna be ahmazing
holidays are gonna be pre basic, so far i've just watched movies and done some shopping with mates in melbourne and i'm stoked because IT'S NEARLY XMAS!! ahaha

away from school and onto this awesome saturday just been caught up with the one and only jas from saltwater strawberry and it was the first weekend of summerrrrrr ahye and nature was nice and it was warm and sunny...obviously we went for a swim in the chilly  -but lovely-   nice water after taking some photos. she was lovely and kind and took some AHHHMAZING photos for me. i love them a lottttt yeeeeee. this outfit is the.comfiest.ever. perfect for summer and so so comfy.

hola again

well hey you guys, its been sooooo long ahye? it's kinda sad but i needed to take some time to get back into the school headspace. and i have also been feeling a bit all over the place at the moment, no creativity, no inspiration, no idea where i wanna go, but hopefully that'll all change pre soon and i'll get back in the creative vibes soon coz ahye look summer is just round le corner and i think it's fair to say that we're all pre stoked bout it!

i still need to update all yah guys with more pics from when brooke and i caught up because let me tell yah now there is   s o   m a n y   photos.

i've also had a bit of an art block which isn't always fun, actually never fun until you come back full of inspiration...hopefully next weekends surf sesh will cure me of the art block and i'll come back fresh as everr with lotsa art.

that's a lot ah chat for one to read so thanks for sticking with me guys, yah pre cool. enjoy a lil peak at some photos coming soon and i'll c yah next time ahye? xx

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
