My Travel Feature with Mercedes-Benz to the Great Ocean Road
It’s been go go go since the new year, that I haven’t had time to let down my hair or even share about my recent work and travels to the Apollo Bay with Mercedes-Benz. I recently went on a road trip with my dear friend Tiffany Newman (This Within) to the Great Ocean Road. I was actually quite surprised to even hear that Mercedes-Benz wanted to feature me, because I didn’t find anything special about myself other than, maybe my crazy pink hair. It all seemed surreal that I remembered calling Berlin to check if this enquiry was legit! Well that’s because they were asking me to cruise with my friend to the Great Ocean Road for 2 days with people whom I didn’t know.
Anyway, as it really turns out it was an adventure of a lifetime. Not only was it incredible to work with Mercedes-Benz, I was able to share this special experience with my good friend, Tiffany as I know she loves to travel and is up for any get away and basking in the sun.
I was the designated driver and I had to drive at precision speeds, between 80-100kms per hour. I cruised through the windy roads, often starting and stopping a few dozen times so we were steer clear of cars. Sometimes parallel driving, crossing over, driving bumper to bumper then repeat to make sure we got all the camera angles needed to make a good film feature. It was so much fun working with Arabella Bartsch and Toby (the duo film crew representing Fischer Appelt) that by the end of the trip, we all became awesome friends!
So here’s my film feature!

Dress Collective x VAMFF
The Dress Collective Runway is an official event of the 2016 Virgin Australia Melbourne Fashion Festival Offsite Runway Series.
On February 13, 2016, The Dress Collective merged the digital world with the tangible, presenting an interactive runway to raise funds for the Black Dog Institute, a not-for-profit organisation and world leader in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mood disorders such as depression and bipolar disorder.
The Dress Collective is the only e-boutique that sells 100% Australian made fashion and accessories. Featuring 100% Australian made and independent fashion, The Dress Collective Runway presented their exclusive range of emerging and established designers, and here are just some of my faves and some trendy street style looks captured outside the show.

How Your Mind Sees Art #Thoughtograph
La Trobe University, in collaboration with the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV), has introduced a unique and interactive art experience as part of the gallery’s Friday Night summer series events (5 Feb – 24 April), and I was fortunate enough to be invited to the launch of this beautiful event.
I wore a wireless headset across my forehead which recorded my brainwave activity as I viewed four pieces of artwork (ie, two Andy Warhol and Ai Wei Wei). My brain waves (EEG) were translated into meaningful data; then recorded into a personalised Thoughtograph which allowed to me to see exactly how engaged my mind was to the art work. Mine looked like a butterfly…
Jeep Portsea Polo 2016
Early Jan, I had the pleasure of taking my Woo-man (and leaving our 4 year old behind..Woo!) who was kindly dressed by Peter Jackson (THANK YOU xxx) to the Jeep Portsea Polo. Can you believe that it’s our first date to a fashion event together? It was just nice to go to an event together without having to work work, like take snaps of people but getting snapped instead.
Since we were purely guests at the Jeep Portsea Polo marquee (THANK YOU TWO BIRDS TALKING!), I didn’t really get a chance to take a lot of snaps as I usually do. Let alone, watch any polo sport. However, I still managed to squeeze in a few frames, nibbles and catch ups with everyone.
So enjoy my highlights and some funny moments (especially Indianna’s photobomb moment) xx
