palm beach

 happiness // view from the hotel of the marina

 beach chic at the barrenjoey // summer is all about the beach

having our own party in the hotel // dessert goodness

my favourite hydrangeas & peonies // brunch at the boathouse

In a random burst of spontaneity, two of my girlfriends and I

found ourselves on a mini roadtrip to Palm Beach. 

The word mini is imperative, Palm Beach is still in Sydney.

We stayed at Newport, which made me sprout

"Welcome to the OC, bitch"

way more often than necessary (which should be zero).

But it was wonderful to get away from everything for 

two days, especially when the company is wonderful

sculptures by the sea 2012

I don't think I ever understood the importance of the weekends

until it became the thin line between me and Jack Nicholson

in The Shining. 

All work and no play makes Karen a dull boy (?!)

I spent the past Sunday wandering around Bondi, 

probably one of my favourite places to be during the summer

All plans to see the Chanel exhibition went out the

door when I realised that it was the last day for the Sculptures

by the Sea exhibition. Evidently the same thought went through half

of Sydney-siders' head and boy was it packed there on Sunday!

And here I thought everyone had migrated south for Derby Day.

I wish I could have taken some more photos during the walk

but with the crowds of people swarming about, I was lucky to even 

see anything for myself. Although, truth me told, I was way too

mesmerized by the jewel toned ocean to really concentrate on the 

sculptures. As you can see from the above photos. 

You can view the photos here.
