Gotta Be Prada, Vintage Photo

This is a picture of my grandmother taken in 1956 on her honeymoon in Cairns. I think the whole shot is fantastic, the old snorkel, bathers and flippers – it simply captures her personality; colourful and slightly wild.

Garance's Birthday at Wolgan Valley Resort and Spa

Recently, when we were in Australia we spent Garance’s birthday at a really great resort.

Can I Take A Picture? - Italian Vogue Pelle
