A few months ago I collaborated with Jysla Kay and spent the afternoon wandering Centennial Park in the rain. Originally this was intended for an 8 page editorial spread but due to some misinterpreted fine print we were lucky enough to be able to keep this for ourselves instead, and share it with our beautiful readers at the same time. It's the perfect way to introduce you all to Jysla, the talented young photographer who I've been shooting with since Luke was away. Luckily for me she seems to be the pea to my pod, with each shoot flowing in perfect harmony and our creative eye completely in sync. The result? A breezy shoot in the woodlands, inspired by vintage past loves, a crisp autumn breeze, cozy afternoons and the haunting voice of Lana Del Rey. "Life is sweet like cinnamon, like a dream I'm living in", which is kind of how I'm feeling right now with a few big changes on the horizon...

Style Stalker Skirt and Top / Zara Heels / Vintage Bag and Bracelet Sometimes I see an outfit by one designer that is so perfectly put together I can't help but want to wear it from head to toe. Usually this is something I try to steer clear from as I see it as too easy. No styling, no layering, no thought into how to make it your own, but I suppose the saying goes "Why fix it when it's not broken?". Well that's how I felt about this stunning two piece by Style Stalker when I first laid eyes upon it and couldn't imagine wearing it any other way. So incredibly versatile when worn separately or easily worn together for an elegant evening look. Luxurious feeling fabric with thigh high splits, accompanied by an exquisite top with slits both on the front and back and finished with a delicate bow tie. I really couldn't - and wouldn't - want to wear it any other way. The perfect flowing gown that makes me feel like I just stepped off a Gucci runway, with silver two toned heels and a glittery sea shell bag for a futuristic cosmic twist. Photos by Jysla Kay
