Hi there, I'm Nicki

I'm a photographer and stylist, former interior designer, serial renovator, and mum of two, who just wants to live in a Nancy Meyers film!

I'm all about beautiful homes and interiors, entertaining and cooking good food, as well as everyday country living with style. I'm slowly trying to embrace a slower lifestyle here in the beautiful Southern Highlands of NSW but that's no easy feat somedays with two young kids and working from home!

Ooh New Zulund, I em really mussing you! Can’t wait to get beck there soon 😜. And by the way, I‘m finally going to share the details of our trip to NZ in autumn last year; because you know, 9 months is not too late at all is it?! 🤦🏼‍♀️🥴. I actually started working on the post for it as soon as we got back but I had so many photos and details to share, I kept postponing it. I’m a shit baker AND a shit blogger it seems.

But seriously, I want to share this trip not least because we booked the flights in the morning, flew out that night, and didn’t have a single hotel booked! Yes, you heard that right.

We went at Easter, without a single booking, and despite every hotel being “booked out”, we still got accommodation. Not that I recommend you doing that but I’m just saying, it’s possible. Clearly I’d also make a shit travel agent 🥴😂 #laketekapo #purenewzealand #newzealand

If you’ve seen my stories today it’ll all makes sense as to why I became a professional photographer and not a baker or chef! 🥴 And I think from now on I should just stick in my savoury lane over here.

Anyway, this super pretty setting is from the Festive Florals and Table Styling workshop I was a part of last month, with @wildflorastudio @kalinyaestate and @flore_vallery_radot and safe to say my styling is much better than my cake baking!

I just loved this gorgeous setting which was the first of 2 styled tables, using @kalinyaestate’s gorgeous blue and green plates and cutlery, and of course the exquisite centrepiece created by some of the workshop attendees with the help from guru @wildflorastudio! Love the soft colours, textures, and fresh summery vibe 🌿 #tablestyling #tablescape

This bathroom by @heatherchadduck in this Florida beach house, just has the absolute wow factor for me. I’ve saved it to several @pinterest boards in fact! So many incredibly beautiful details. The rest of the house is truly spectacular as well! It’s was the 2019 #SLIdeaHouse @southernlivingmag

Cheers to the weekend 🥂 And a bit of flaky pastry 🥐. AND the fact that I’m lying in bed listening to heavy rain fall outside! Life’s greatest soundtrack right now 🙏🏼💦 Photo from my shoot last year for @theanchorageportstephens #luxuryaccommodation #hamptonsstyle #newsouthwales

Garden hydrangeas just held on and have survived all the heat and reduced water. I love them when they start to go green. Starting to get back into the swing of normal life here again. Only 2 more weeks of school holidays. Don’t think I’ve ever wanted summer to end so quickly, for so many reasons. #hydrangeas

There’s so much to say about what’s going on here in Australia at present, but all I can think to say right now is THANK YOU 🙏🏼 To all those who’ve donated, shared, highlighted and sent messages of support, from all around the world, our country thanks you.

Seeing how much money is being raised in such a short amount of time and the generosity and kindness of strangers, is astounding. @celestebarber @pink and @nicolekidman especially - you are bloody legends.

Also, THANK YOU to all the incredibly courageous firefighters and emergency services personnel who are putting themselves at risk every time they get called out to help defend their communities. And to those taking in strangers, supporting people at evacuation centres, and those kind souls taking care of wildlife.

It’s a truly terrible time and there’s still so much uncertainty about what’s to come, but good god, there is also a lot of love, generosity and kindness out there in the world! Sure helps to ease a heavy heart. If you’re in a position to donate, @nswrfs @redcrossau @wireswildliferescue are some very good places to start.
