Hold the Glamour

I am a full-figure model and working mother. I am a wife, a sister, a daughter, a friend. I am a Leo. I am a first-generation Aussie and mother to two amazing little native New Yorkers. I believe that fashion is important—but so is real life. I believe that all women are beautiful and strong. I believe in working hard and loving harder. I believe in eating delicious food and drink with close friends, in breathing deep the air of new places, in laughing until you cry. I believe that when our bodies and minds are healthy and balanced, anything is possible.

Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas and all the very best for 2015!

With only days left before this year ends and another one begins, I start to marvel at how fast time flies and how much my children have grown, comparing this year’s Santa photo to last year’s.

What a year 2014 has been — the global events that have shaped and changed our world forever and etched themselves into history. There are so many wonderful things to be grateful and thankful for and then for some, unfortunately there isn’t.

During my last week of work for 2014, a man took innocent people hostage in a Sydney cafe — what a time, what an outcome and what an amazing city — it’s just one of so many events that occurred this year, both good and bad.

To all those who are lost, hurt, suffering and mourning at this time, my heart goes out to you.

I have some behind-the-scene shots of the autumn catalogue I shot for Modern Curve which happens to be one of my last shoots for 2014.

From my family to yours,

Airline tragedy MH17

My heart goes out to all those who perished in the recent airline disaster and tragedy of MH17, to their family and friends. I cannot even begin to comprehend your reality right now.

For someone who travels by air more than most, it deeply concerns me that something like this happened and could happen in the first place. Why? Who is responsible? Who will be held accountable?

There are so many questions that need to be answered — where does one start? The recovery and healing processes going forward are to be immense, exhausting, emotional, political and overwhelming to say the least. Words can hardly describe this criminal act.

The world is in shock and mourning the 298 souls that lost their right to live. Their lives taken without notice or reason. They were attacked without warning or defence.

My sincere condolences to you all. I am truly and deeply sorry.

Let us all be grateful for our everyday and may there be justice in the world.
