JUST THE BEGINNING

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us
To be honest I've been trying to write this post for hours now and each time it seems to be getting harder and harder. I don't know where to begin or how to word it, plus my brain seems to be slowing down the later it gets so I want to try and keep this short and sweet. As of tomorrow you'll notice a few changes on my blog, as I've joined an exciting new blogging network called FELLT. This has been in the works for nearly six months now and to think it's finally here is making my head spin with emotions and my heart race with excitement.

For those who have followed me from the very beginning you'll understand how important my online vintage store is to me. It's where I began, it's my full-time job, it's what I love and it's my baby. As my blog has grown I've really struggled to juggle both my business and my blog, two worlds that both require so much time, energy and love to fully function the way I would like them to. The result has been three exciting months of blogging and collaborations but also three painful months of not being able to update my store at all, which has never, ever happened before. Being represented by FELLT not only means I'll be alongside seven of the best Australian bloggers on one powerful network, but I'll also have someone to help manage exciting new projects and collaborations when I don't have the time to manage myself. This is not only going to take my blog to a whole new level but it will allow me to get back to my work and what I love doing - building my brand and expanding at a rapid pace. I am so happy and grateful I have you all with me for this, and I am beyond excited to see where this new path will take us. It seems the journey is only just beginning and I hope this is the start of bigger and better things.

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...
