When the lovely Kacey of  Love Always Photography  asked to shoot Sahana & I for a Sibling Maternity Shoot for her website, I was nervous but knew that she would produce something beautiful - after all she shot my first pregnancy 2 years ago   here Dylana was born 13th July 2015, and I could not have imagined the capacity of my heart until I met her

Pretty excited of this one. I've been contributing design and creative ideas to my twinnie's mega metallic glow-in-the-dark temp tattoo label GLO TATTS® since its launch exactly a year ago, so when she gave me free reign to create a complete pack, my concept came quick and fast. I had my hand drawn designs within an hour, and Saci worked her magic turning them into this stunning set of wearable skin jewels  The inspirations for my designs draw on my personal style and how I like to wear body jewellery. Subtle statement pieces with a touch of romance. As a wedding dress designer and a mother, these two roles reflect in each design. Intricate floral and gem motifs that can be worn as ear cuffs and necklaces without curious little hands pulling at the delicate jewellery. White and Turquoise compliment the metallic hues and sparkle on any skin type. Head over to GLOTATTS.COM to purchase your own.

3 weeks ago, my twin sister Saci, came to me excited about a creative concept her and my eldest sister Kat were brainstorming up. The artistic gene runs strong in all the sister's, and we have been blessed that we have been able to exercise that creativity in our day to day lives. Their idea: Glo Tatts™ - Metallic Glow-in-the-Dark Temporary Tattoos  It was a great idea, but they had to work quickly to roll it out before the end of summer in the northern hemisphere. So for the next few weeks, Saci sketched hundreds of tattoo designs to come up with the perfect set for their launch.  With my daughter still in her very dependant upon me (9 months, and still doesn't sleep well!), I was limited in ways to help, so I acted as a cheerleader. Wednesday was their first shoot - which manifested at Saci's St Andrews Beach shack. Models Emily & Shanai were called last minute. We pulled our favourite styles from my collections from the last 3 years, and I managed to get...

Modelling for my model. You might remember the face of my most recent Spring Summer Lookbook - the lovely Samantha - when the roles were reversed, and she asked me to pose for her, I couldnt be more happy. The shoot was fun and relaxed, and her talents equal her natural ability on the other side of the camera. These are a few candids of the day, which I think represent beautifully the nature and intimacy of her style of working. Shopping for bridal gown ideas at Anna Campbell in Brunswick - we got to meet Anna and try her latest collections. Big congratulations to my twin sister on her engagement, who has chosen me (naturally ;) to make her gown -  Watch this space as the wedding plans progress follow on instagram: @Radapriya amongst the beauties for Samantha's shoot shoot in progress Saci wearing an Anna Campbell gown

I love the big island I'm lucky enough to be a citizen of. In a sort of homage to my home, my Spring Summer collection features Australian Native Flora prints. The Banksia Print dress is 100% cotton, drop waist flip dress with leatherette (faux leather) embellished collar, and short sleeves There was so much inspiration for this Spring/Summer collection, this dress in particular, with its young modern flirty silhouette, was the first to evolve. Drop waists are about in full rage at the moment, and I especially love the ones popping up in Victoria Beckham's collections. The lovely Samantha having fun here modelling the range in the 11th hour before my trip to Italy I design & produce each dress to order and can make to your specific measurements. $200.00 Includes postage.
