About Me

Hi my name is Natalie and I'm a proud Aussie. I've been blogging since April 2011 starting with fashion and style. I've since added lifestyle, food and travel into the mix; but my blog has always centred around Photography. Here you will find posts spanning over a decade, documenting my life and my milestones.

From others:

*Arthur Abbott: "Iris, in the movies we have the leading ladies and we have the best friend. You, I can tell, are a leading lady, but for some reason you are behaving like the best friend"

*Iris: "You're so right. You're supposed to be the leading lady of your own life, for God's sake! Arthur, I've been going to a therapist for three years, and she's never explained things to me that well. That was brilliant. Brutal, but brilliant."
(From the movie: The Holiday)

Iris: "I'm looking for corny in my life."

(From the movie: The Holiday)

Samantha: "Chill babe, we're all bad in someone's story"
