Afternoon Haze // An adventure into the hinterland and a leap of faith

The creation of this lookbook was the beginnings of something beautiful, and I don't just mean the amazing shots. This was the first time I met the bunch of people who would become my dream team. A bunch of creative talents and generous collaborators who I've been lucky enough to have made some pure magic with.

We took to the hinterland and tracked down this wood cabin which is quite honestly perfection. Hand built, earthy and lashed with Australiana themed trinkets (note the kangaroo above the fire place), this was the perfect backdrop to the rich, layered textures of this Spring Summer 15 collection by Tree of Life.

I'm lucky enough to be spending more and more time in melbourne these days and happy to be spending my time eating and admiring when I'm not working my heart out. See below some snacks, some sights and some finds!
