Happy weekend, friends! What have you been up to since we spoke last? I’ve had a quiet time here in Melbourne catching up on work all on my lonesome. Ben’s still in LA and while he’s still there, I can be as messy as I like with no one to answer to. I may be still yet to unpack my suitcase from LA… I just hate unpacking. It’s the worst part of travelling. The excitement of the trip is over, the post-trip depression has set in and all you’re left with is a bunch of dirty washing (aside from all those precious new memories, of course). I better get my clean on soon though. That washing isn’t going to wash itself.
So now that I’m back home in Melbourne, it’s probably time I started to think about the wedding again and make a start on the planning. Since we want to have a destination wedding, it’s only natural that step one is location scouting, right? I may have booked a sneaky trip up to tropical north Queensland in the name of ‘research’ this afternoon… If you have any wedding planning tips, please send any and all to me — I’m desperate for all the advice I can get! In the meantime, here’s a picture of Brooklyn in NYC because I’m missing it so much already.
Here are this week’s favourite links:
WATCH: I’m so lucky to have found someone who just wants to embark on a lifetime of adventures with me. I’m already looking forward to our honeymoon and we haven’t even planned the wedding yet! I want to escape to the wild like this couple did. So perfect.
READ: There are shockingly 33 million fewer girls in primary school around the world than boys. Here are 50 captivating photos that show girls thriving at school around the world.
EAT: I’m dying over these hand-painted macarons. W-O-W.
MAKE: This is just so freaking cool.
BUY: This is so high up on my wishlist! Adore!
GO: Speaking of the wild, I want to get lost out here.

Welcome back to autumn! 🙂
Weddings are exciting. I think the number one tips/things I’ve learned from my own wedding are … enjoy the planning process because ideally it’s almost as fun as the main event, seating charts are overrated, be prepared but don’t be surprised when a whole lot of things don’t go as planned (usually they go better than planned, sometimes not though and that’s ok) and DON’T LET ANYONE TELL YOU WHAT TO DO. Not even your family. Let the happy, excited suggestions pour in but don’t let anyone push their opinions and visions on you when they don’t feel right to you. You’re not doing this thing to please anyone but yourself and the man. Oh and don’t drink too much as you’re getting ready because you’re just so excited and then be busting for the toilet halfway through the ceremony. 😀
