Today, for the first time, I am publicly sharing a link for my "side projects" aka Sideprojectz. This is my visual diary (it's not really a blog) it is just me sharing all of my different loves and things I care about and I am inspired by.
I am starting small and simple and I look forward building on what I show here. I just got to the point where I have too many great captures, desires, stories and tips that I am struggling to all get them all on Insta.
Many of you ask me what I do and what I love, where should I go? Another question I get asked a lot, I what do I do for a job? Officially my "Monday to Friday" (if that exists anymore?) is a worldwide sales and marketing role. This career if I can call it that, enables me to be based in New York, travel the world and go to fabulous places, eat amazing food.... and of course also buy fashion and capture my favourite people and places.
Yes, of course, I would love one day for my Sideprojectz to be my official "job" although I would be just the opposite, just doing the stuff I love and am passionate about ✌️Watch this space I have some collabs coming up that I will be excited to share with you over the coming months 🙌
Lastly, but most importantly, I also wanted to take this opportunity to thank all of my loyal friends, followers and family (both old and new). A special shoutout goes to @faedecor who is an amazing inspo for me and someone who helped me get over the the private to public phase. XO.
One of the most Iconic photos you can take of of the Empire State Building is from Dumbo, Brooklyn. It is shot through the Manhattan Bridge "legs" as I like to call them. There are also many other great shots you can get while over there. Jane's Carousel is great on weekends with the kids playing and family time, but also during the week when it is empty can make an amazing moody capture.
Getting there: The Carousel is located in the DUMBO section of The Brooklyn Bridge Park, on the East River, between the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges. The Carousel is easily accessed from Park entrances at Dock Street or Main Street. http://janescarousel.com
Rag & Bone T-Shirt and Jeans. GGDB Kicks.
Hitting the famous Soho cobblestones with my current favourite Grey Goose Deluxe Brand Mids and the best fitting jeans that I can find. I think I will die and be buried in Rag and Bone Jeans.
So this is my version of stars and stripes. Statement Rag & Bone stripe boots are the perfect compliment to my Mr Self Portrait stars top. God bless America. Rag and Bone Jeans of course too ;)

Bethesda Fountain after Stella
Bethesda Terrace is considered the heart of Central Park. In their original plan, Park designers Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux envisioned a sweeping Promenade (the Mall) that led to a grand terrace overlooking the Lake. The magnificent carvings represent the four seasons and, on the side facing the Mall, the times of day.
Today, Central Park Conservancy employs a sculptor (who I met briefly) to care for the amazing sandstone carvings and sculpture and a zone gardener and their crew to take care of the landscapes. In the summer, aquatic plantings such as water lilies and lotus are placed in the fountain, reviving a 19th century tradition.
A great spot for photo opportunities and to watch the world go by.
"We were together, I forgot the rest" reads the sign on the we all of this super cute most honest, blogable, postable location in NYC at the moment. If you love alittle cocktail, some great eats and a love story, this is the place to be! The fried chicken and waffles are amazing (whatever day it is it will clearly be a cheat day).
A perfect view from the R Lounge in the Renaissance Hotel
A new cocktail lounge that I have just discovered is the R Lounge. I was invited to join Tom Jauncey the Co-founder of @Beautifuldestinations to join them for a shoot collab with the Renaissance Hotel in Times Square.
I was more than happy to put my feet up and sip a champange and watch the world go by.
A great tip for a time-lapse video is to put your iPhone up against the video. It's one of the best locations in the world to grab the amazing visuals of life go by.
