Natalia Grzybowski Neoprene Top and Skirt / Jacquie Aiche Leaf Bracelet / Jennifer Zeuner Ring / Jennifer Zeuner Love Anklet/ Kurt Gieger Heels Sometimes I annoy myself with being too particular about where I shoot my outfits. I'd been carrying around this beautiful two piece by Natalia Grzybowski in my suitcase for nearly two months before I had the chance to shoot it with Luke. Originally I had planned to have a Parisian backdrop but when time slipped away from me I found myself making my way to Italy and wondering if I'd ever find a place that had the same romantic and ethereal feeling. We decided to bypass Milan this time to spend more days exploring Florence instead, and after setting foot here for the first time I was so glad we did. All my friends had told me of Florence was that it was "pretty", but when we arrived I was immediately surprised by just how pretty it is! A town that is even more breathtaking at night when you're wandering the streets with a rose from your love after a bottle of red wine. A glittering carousel would of done just nicely for this shoot but we were drawn to this Duomo with a white pebbled floor and green and light pink colouring instead. It must have been the allure of climbing rocks in public or falling backwards on sinking surfaces in heels that won me over.

Natalia Grzybowski Neoprene Top and Skirt / Mnologie Perspex Clutch

Fashion Week, no matter which one in the world you are attending is always frantic, exciting and completely exhausting. So much so that when you get home and curl up into a little ball on the bed, you remind yourself how much you never want to look at a pair of heels again or dread the sight of your overflowing inbox. Somewhere between resting after Fashion Month and organizing my first trip to Europe with Luke, I didn't get a chance to really share with you my Fashion Month experience from New York, Paris, London, or any of the shows I attended there. These photos were quickly taken before my very first Louis Vuitton show in Paris which I found floating around the internet. I was wearing another ethereal creation by Australia designer Natalia Grzybowski and a perspex clutch personally made by one of my readers (Nike, I cannot wait to see your business grow!). We shot this Natalia two piece somewhere special in Florence so I'm going to share the rest of the photos with you all tomorrow!
