As I may have mentioned before, winter is not my thing. I long for the hot and sunny summer months where days are long and there is a dreamy sense of youth in the air.  Alas,  seasons are not affected by my wishes. In order to keep our heads up and spirits bright through all the cold months, we have decided to start a new series for this season, Cures for the Winter Blues! For our first post I wanted to share a cool-blue, ocean photo shoot from Harper’s Bazaar Australia. This sun-drenched shoot full of sparkling waters and gorgeous clothing is starring model Annabella Barber and was shot by photographer Simon Lekias.

Feeling cold and tired? Get energized by these gorgeously bright and sunny photos below!

The fashion alone is GORGEOUS, but it’s the contrast of the bustling sidewalks and family gathering feel that add the warmth to make this one extra special.
