Tom Williams & Rachel Gilberts Wedding

Haven't done a Wednesday wedding stalk for a while! 
Just saw these snaps of fashion designer Rachel Gilbert & Tom Williams wedding & had to share.
I have to say her bridesmaids dresses (Rachel Gilbert of course!) are to die for!

So so true! 
I'm sure other creatives out there can relate to this one!

Cool Edies & the Style Lab @ Life Instyle

Im really looking forward to checking out the Style Lab at this years Life Instyle event!

I didn't make it last year, as it was the week before my wedding & things were a bit hectic.
Plus, i had a bad feeling i would see all kinds of cool things i wanted to use at the wedding & my DIY needed to be reined in!

If the image below isn't enough to get your heart racing (hello, i am so obsessed with those lights from Fromage la Rue!), heres a bit more about what you can expect. 'Cool Edies' are styling duo Jane Frosh & Lucy Weight. In 2012 Cool Edies was formed as a one stop styling shop for interiors, food, lifestyle, events & fashion. The Style lab will be a dynamic series of scenes, designed & created each morning by Cool Eddies using exhibitor products; a bit like a look into their studio & the styling of photo shoot.

Life Instyle - 21st-24th February at the Royal Hall of Industries & Hordern Pavilion, Moore Park.

Byron Bay - Eats

Im back from a week in Byron Bay with Ben spent relaxing & spending time in the sun, sea &.... well, doing a lot of eating! 
I was so appreciative of all the blog & instagram friends who sent me suggestions of shops to see & places to eat. 
We did find it rather expensive to eat out every meal, next time we will be finding somewhere to stay that has a kitchen!
Seeing as we sampled almost every place in town, I thought id share our favourites with you!

Definitely our favourite. We were in Byron for 7 days & ate here 6 times (& a lot of the time when we were eating elsewhere, we thinking we should have just gone here). The service is friendly & fast, the food is fantastic, simple & fresh, unlike most other places we found, you get a decent serving for what you pay! Breakfasts were amazing & the salads at lunch enormous (see below!)



A bit out of town, on a corner up the top of a hill in a residential area.
Great coffee, yummy house made granola with yogurt & acai bowls for breakfast, & fab salads & burgers for lunch.
It was a good stop off on our way to hike to the lighthouse {we walked around the headlands on the bush path - loved it}.



Id come just to stare at this wall created by Jai of Ahoy Trader!
Only recently opened, and always chic a block full! We loved the deluxe burritos & the snapper ceviche.
Come for happy hour to take advantage of the $10 margaritas!
You could also try their other restaurant Asia Joes, in the lane behind the Beach Hotel - we went here twice.
Great stirfrys & curries, $1.50 corkage for wine & free for beer! A good cheap & cheerful!


Love love loved this place! We went here for my birthday dinner.
Tapas style menu & fantastic cocktails. 
Not many places you go to & drool over every bite of every dish. 
Don't miss the soft shell crab sliders, salad, slow cooked beef cheeks & catalan bread
{we had the coca con higo you can see on the menu below}
Not the cheapest meal, but a must do if your in Byron!


HARVEST {Newrybar - about a 20min drive}
Tiny little town just off the Pacific highway, about 5 mins sough of Bangalow.
Harvest grows a lot of their own produce on site or on their farm close by & the Goats cheese terrine i had was to die for!
They also have a Deli with some pretty special produce next door.



Others we loved were dinner at Targa, sushi at O-Sushi & lunch at Belongil Bistro.
