A Boudoir Styled Shoot

I finally have a decent pair of Harem Pants, not quite Prada but Witchery will do fine. I also love the use of khaki, this

Winter 2016

Winter has finally arrived. Our last summer was one of the hottest, it has done our landscape no good and we’re mentally unprepared for the cold ahead!
