WAH's Weekend Bucket List

Weekend vibes are the best vibes at the wrap up of a hard week’s work. So, we thought we’d gather up some of our favourite weekend to-do’s, put them all in one spot and let you explore to your hearts content. If you ask us, a weekend well-spent is one that includes a beautiful beach, buzzing bar and brilliant breakfast. There’s plenty to go around, but we’ve given you our latest. Check it out.

 

Beach, Bar & Breakfast: Brisbane QLD

Noosa Heads, Noosa

Although it lies a rough two hours south of Brisbane, a day trip to the pristine Noosa Main Beach is definitely an expedition worth scheduling into your weekend agenda. Indulge in its silky white sand and some of the most refreshing water this side of Queensland. A weekend of pure relaxation is assured. So with that said, grab a bunch of friends (it won’t take much convincing), your most worn-in beach towel and all other necessary beach props – when you see the palm trees, you’re almost there. Bask away.

Gerard’s Bar, Fortitude Valley

Meet the new kid on the block. This European-inspired bar has many a party trick, providing a taste of Spain with tapas, charcuterie and a wonderful flow of beverages. Amidst Brisbane’s iconic James Street, Gerard’s Bar, as well as housing an award-winning chef, offers a further incentive of being one of Brisbane’s best cocktail serving bars – hello happy tummies and happy hour! No one ever said no to a night off cooking.. So what are you still doing here?!

The Corner Store, Toowong

The most adorable breakfast you will ever eat. This humble little cafe is a perfect pit-stop for amazing coffee and breakfast options of an equal calibre. From the freshest fruit and bircher muesli to decadent bacon and eggs, there is no walking past this hole in the wall that is the Corner Store. A total gem amongst Brisbane’s gastronomic superstars, this little beauty is sure to be ticked off the Bucket List; at least once a week. Whoever decided breakfast was the most important meal of the day just gave us a great excuse I’ll say.

Idyllic island exploring for our Halycon Days campaign shoot in Curacao

Of course the brilliant white sands and aqua water, swaying palm trees and island vibe is what you would expect from a gorgeous destination in the Caribbean but as far as islands in the middle of the aqua, supporting humungous bridges, hotels with infinity beaches on the second floor and a drink named for them go, well Curaçao is definitely your island!

WAH_curacao_scenery28

I’m particularly fond of anywhere where the local population speaks Dutch, it reminds me of my childhood, raised by Dutch parents on pickled herring, bitterballen, boterkoek and poffertjies I was in kiddie nirvana when I hit Curaçao finding some of these delicacies a part of the regular meals on the island! Of course, given it’s location there is the usual fare of creole food to keep your fresh fish and island fare cravings at bay. The best part is that at any time during your travels on the island you can stop in at any number of roadside stalls where you can grab anything from a coconut, a juice or a couple of pieces of fruit to keep on going.

WAH_curacao_BTS07
We ventured to Curaçao to shoot our latest campaign and in so doing explored the length and breadth of the island by minivan, passing through the ever changing landscape, from beautiful old world multi colored houses all butted together like jewels in a majestic crown to the oh so impressive harbour complete with a passenger bridge spanning 67m’s. It swings open and closed to allow ships through or the bridge that spans across the inlet at 56m above the sea! To the rambling dessert strips and salt lakes complete with flocking flamingos.

We spent most of our time on the west coast – where the quintessential azure blue waters lap onto the pristine white sand. The locals (both human and puppy) took a great interest in our campaign and we’re so friendly they offered to help with the shoot!

WAH_curacao_scenery31
We were told about it but unfortunately didn’t have time to get to the Eastern part of the island where you have to share your space with plenty of iguanas. We know where we will be headed next time!
Finishing off our days at Jan Thiel Beach we found another european export, a beautiful beachside bar! complete with a pontoon to race too and perform any number of diving tricks. I had the pleasure of teaching one of our models (a former gymnast) to back dive!
A skip and a plane jump from Miami will have you there in just over 3.5 hours – so brush up on your Dutch get ready to work on your tan and perhaps learn a couple of new Curaçao based cocktail recipes!

Blissful Byron Bay

Jeremy and I we’re invited to spend a night at The Byron at Byron and upon entering the sanctuary like grounds found ourselves on the verge of a stillness, all of our crazy week just a faded distant memory. With the sound of the ocean splashing off the walls of our tropical rainforest retreat, the abundant birds chirping stories to each other and the smell of fresh cut lilies filling the air – we had found a bayside nirvana.

Picfx

The Byron at Byron is situated a short bicycle ride out of the main village of Byron Bay and is skirted by the beautiful and long stretches of Tallows beach. Of all the places and spaces in Byron it’s Tallows that has my heart, this dog friendly beach stretches it’s pure white sands tentacles long up the coast and wraps itself along up to the lighthouse at the eastern most point of Australia. With excited and playful barks tempering the air, families bonding over the surf dumping them on the shore and the odd cyclists gliding by on the hard sand – these scenes are best kind of beach to me.

Situated on 48 hectares the resort features 90 bungalows sprawled amongst 3 uniquely different ecosystems. A wetland, comprising of a lake and river inlets filled with pops of bright blue water lilies, a dappled light filled forest of pine trees and a lush tropical rainforest all make for a perfect space in which to stroll hand in hand experiencing the wonder and changing landscapes melting together with your significant other.

The resort has taken the ecosystems and continued the elements through the décor of the rooms and common areas’. Staying in any of the bungalows has you in amidst an ecosystem with secluded views onto the picturesque surrounds.

IMG_3170

As one would expect from a spa resort, it is fully equipped with every spa facility imaginable and we can highly recommend indulging in a relaxing treatment and finishing with a dip in the spa bath. Topped with with a superb meal at the restaurant and you’ve just had the perfect Byron day.

FullSizeRender

The Byron at Byron is best reached by flying to Ballina then transferring straight to the resort. They offer hire bikes to get you into the centre of town. Thank you to the Byron at Byron for hosting us & giving us a much needed reprieve from the bustle of our week.

This is the best thing you will ever do in your life…

africa-land-6

Even in today’s world, Africa remains the great unknown. The one thing everyone has on their ‘someday bucket list’ and let’s face it, it probably won’t happen. Life will just plain get in the way. But, the reality is that Africa and it’s wonderments are often closer and more affordable then a summer holiday in Europe.

Going on safari is like joining a secret club where even the members can’t begin to describe the feeling of a safari to each other, it’s that incredible and enlightening of an experience it renders you quite unable to describe the experience. That said, to ensure you you move it up your to position #1 on your bucket list, I’m going to try and let you in on the secret club.

Africa-ele5

Most days follow the same relaxing schedule, and you slip into the routine with an incredible ease. Before the sun peaks over the earth you’re woken up to the sounds of gentle knocking on your door or, if you’re in a luxurious tent, the sounds of a hot shower being poured for you in your own private bathroom in the beautiful confines of your decked out tent.

Africa-ele1

Once refreshed, you’re met with a cup of your preferred morning brew and a light snack before you head out onto the land in a fully equipped, yet roofless Land Cruiser in search of early morning creatures still stirring in the dawn light.

africa-land-7

Here’s where the magic happens, as you’re driving along enjoying the sounds of nature not ring tones and your co-workers demands, taking in the memory of the rays of sunshine peaking through the trees, listening to the calls of the vidid birds, your tracker gestures and makes a low noise, you immediately turn your attention, your ranger alters your course and your tracks turn in the direction of a big cat stalking a zebra.

Before you know it you are on the hunt with a female lioness, your breath catches as she deftly sidles up in the crook of a tree, the zebra’s nose tilts in the air searching the breeze for the tell tale smell of danger. The lioness holds her position, she knows that patience will  reward her – as will yours. The zebra returns to grazing, blissfully unaware. From the corner of your eye you see a flex of tan, the lioness’ sister has joined in the slow chase. She’s moved up in the cover of your Land Cruiser, the air is so quiet you can hear her fur brushing up against the metal of your truck and you smell the adrenalin coursing through her veins.

africa-land-8

Time seems to stand still as both females move in unison to close in on the unsuspecting mare. They’re stalking, crouched low to the ground, hidden so well within the tall grass, they are now almost on top of the zebra and your knuckles are white from holding onto the seat in front of you, you’re doing all you can to understand whose side you’re on. Before you’re ready the lionesses have gone in for the kill, the zebra is hit from one side, lashes out with her hooves in desperate shock, but the sisters planned their attack, the second sister launches from the other side, digs her claws into the striped flesh, her weight dragging the animal down, she closes her jaws down on the zebra’s throat. Your blood is pumping in your ears and it’s all over, the Zebra has passed.

This sacrifice of life allows the continuation of the sisters pride for another week. In that moment, life as you know it has irrevocably changed for you, you’ve been privvy to the hands of fate and seen the kings dominate the circle of life.

As you finally leave the kill, you meander through the bush playing witness to life before your eyes, you may pass a herd of elephant migrating, ambling along, their feet and jaws crunching on all in their path. The matriarch proudly leading the charge in search of a watering hole.

Or perhaps you’ll find yourself in the company of a bull Elephant in must, knocking down a tree in a display of play aggression and dominance. Or come across a baby giraffe learning how to walk gently nuzzled up onto his new legs by his sky-scraping mother, very eager to have him up and out of harms way.

Your morning drive will conclude and you’ll follow it with a hearty breakfast, the rest of the day is spent at your leisure, you may take a nap under the big African skies or even swim to cool off from the heat and as the sun starts slinking down past the horizon you’ll go out on another drive and find your next wild encounter, this time though you’re ready, you have a sundowner and feel the African heartbeat in your chest.

When you’ve taken the time to give some of your time to Africa, she will capture your imagination and leave you longing for more – and that’s when you’ll know you’ve joined the club.

Our personal favourite company to experience all of the beauty of Africa is called &Beyond  – we’ve been travelling with them for nearly 10 years! The company ensures you have the most luxurious safari and the most wonderful time in the bush, their attention to detail is flawless, all the while focusing very heavily on their environmental conservation efforts. It’s this perfect mix that keeps us going back.

Introducing: The Catalyst

Our new collection ‘The Catalyst” is finally here. We are extremely excited to release this collection as things are a little different, as you may notice. The collection sees our aesthetic taken to whole new level. With more athletic shapes and strong silhouettes as well as new and inspired prints ‘The Catalyst’ is exactly that, a catalyst for change.

iuHK49CeEs2qjV4Ma96kBYc3X17thnPK69xm0_2dCto

Always inspired by our search for the never-ending summer and respect for nature, the collection of unique prints range from playful to fierce. We decided that it was time to change it up, with racer neck lines, strong panelling, cropped rashies and of course a hint of resort wear, the collection has a something for everyone. What we love about this collection is that it is a daring as it is demure. Think cocktails on the beach, lazing by the pool meets jet skiing, paddling boarding and surfing. The collection caters the ultimate We Are Handsome woman. Strong, feminine, feisty and active.

Now you may have noticed that every now and again, we head off on a little ‘workation’  to shoot our latest look book. With Odyssey Rising shot in The Maldives we thought ‘How could we possibly top that?’ turns out, we did. We jetted off the homegrown paradise of Hamilton Island in The Whitsundays, Queensland. We played on the white sandy beaches, drank cocktails, floated around and on the Great Barrier Reef and all along the way we took a few pictures. Ok maybe more than a few. It really is a hard life. Inspired by Jeremy’s all time favourite photographer Slim Aarons, our look book pays homage to 60s and 70s hotel and beach lifestyle. It’s playful, it’s fun, it’s handsome. See for yourself.

Shot by the talented Sebastian Kriete and filmed by Anthony MacFarlane ‘The Catalyst’ was brought to life by our favourite babe Margot Bushueva and the beautiful Olga Yalanskaya. What more could we ask for? Perfection

See all the Behind the Scenes action below.

SUMMER FITNESS FUN

Snorkelling

Changing up your exercise routine is the ideal way to embrace the beauty of summer. We adore soaking up the sun with workouts that that boost our summer spirit. Perfect for soothing the soul, summer fitness is the best kind. Get moving with these outdoor adventures, which we recommend trying on a fine summer’s day or while you’re on a tropical holiday.

Surfing

Who doesn’t love the idea of being able to ride a sweet wave? Surfing brings out your inner beach babe and is also a killer workout. An invigorating natural stress relief, surfing also improves cardiovascular fitness, shoulder and back strength as well as leg and core strength.

Paddle Boarding

Stand-up paddle boarding is a super fun sport, a fabulous tummy toner and a great arm work out. Paddle boarding is also the ideal way to get out and see some truly stunning scenery. Still water beaches or lakes, lagoons and rivers are ideal for paddle boarding – otherwise you may be in for a wild ride. This worldwide fitness craze is also amazingly uplifting.

 Swim

Embracing the great outdoors nourishes the mind, body and soul. Simply hitting the water and swimming laps outdoors is a refreshing and stimulating way to get some cardio into your day. We love embracing our local Sydney beach pools for a breathtaking experience, such as the iconic Icebergs in Bondi. If you’re on holiday, snorkelling is a fantastic way to explore while being active.

EW12499-540x492

Beach yoga is the ultimate way to develop your flexibility and strength. Practicing yoga on a hot day at the beach delivers similar benefits to a Bikram class, but with awesome visual benefits. The biggest perk of beach yoga is getting to dip in the ocean once you’re done. The healing and health benefits of yoga are endless. Yoga helps to clear the mind and remain balanced while improving your fitness, flexibility, strength and posture.

Beach run

Training on the beach is a fun workout escape. Breathing that crisp, salty beach air will make you feel brand new. Our favourites include boxing, sprints, strength circuits and boot camp style training at the beach or your preferred outdoor location. You could also simply go for a long beach run to tone up those legs.

So what are you waiting for? Get active, soak up the sun and enjoy that never ending summer.

4 Planes, 2 buses, a train, a boat, a golf buggy and an unforgettable paradise…

WAH-Maldives-Edited-42

“It’s pronounced Moldeeves…or paradise” was the response I got when I first landed on the island and even though, out of habit I still refer to it with more of a maal and diives, that gentleman was absolutely correct about the second part, paradise it is! All that you know about The Maldives being idyllic & picturesque is absolutely true and then some!

WAH-Maldives-Edited-12

As I sit here and reminisce over our glorious week of ‘workationing’, the first thing I’m struck with, is how much I miss it. But yes of course you’re thinking, ‘why wouldn’t you’?!
Well, we live a few hundred meters away from the ocean, so that’s not that part I miss. What has me wistful is the complete serenity, the total lack of cars, the smiling faces, the rainbow of ocean blues and an unhurried schedule the island moves to. That’s what I miss the most.

In a world that has become so small, and interconnected, the Maldives is still very much uncharted territory by the masses – it retains it’s elusiveness through it’s remoteness. It took us almost 24 hours of traveling to reach Ayada from Sydney, but unlike all the other times I’eve traveled that kind of distance, I woke up to the sounds of the ocean lapping below us, threw open the doors to an endless turquoise and cobalt ocean and shared a moment with a turtle we named Roger, who was not even 3 meters from our (over-sea) hammock. Roger just bobbed his head in a knowing way, while I marveled at all that was before me.

WAH-Maldives-Edited-33

The island of Maguhdhuvaa is located 30KM’s from the Equator and so far from civilization that you can’t help but feel like you’re a modern day Robinson Crusoe. Except where Crusoe had to fashion his shelter, scrounge for food and occupy himself so as not to go mad, at Ayada, your shelter is a 5 star suite or villa with a private infinity pool, the food is varied and excellently prepared and occupying yourself is the furthest thing from your mind.

Traversing the entire island will take you approximately 20 minutes or you could have your butler chauffeur you in a golf cart to and from your meals and massages. We, however, chose for most of our time to ride the island’s simple white bicycles, peddling our way through palm tree lined avenues and down boardwalks suspended over a coral reef teeming with all manner of fish, reef sharks and sea life.

WAH-Maldives-Edited-45

Incredibly, 99% of the Maldives comprises of water and at no point in the Maldives are you above sea level by an average of 1.5m, but I don’t think at any point on our ‘workation’ were we further from the water by that same distance! The azure hues of the water are like nothing any of us had ever seen before, the spectrum of colours are almost like a painting, perfect and clear and never-ending.

WAH-Maldives-Edited-34

When one heads to a tropical island you are generally accompanied by your nearest and dearest, in this case Jem and I we’re joined by four of ours, and having done so we would highly recommend turning this romantic destination on it’s head and making it a friends-in-tow getaway. Where, as a couple you may lounge by the pool, sip your cocktails, read a book or two and just ease into relaxation. We spent a lot of the time laughing together, mastering our jumps off the infinity pools edge (shhh don’t tell Ayada), biking from one side of the island to the other and and topped it all off with couples massages for all at Ayada’s fully equipped spa retreat.

WAH-Maldives-Edited-26

For a couple of days we ventured off the resort and took  a jet boat trip over to neighbouring islands and sand banks where we explored rough terrain, met up with Roger’s buddies while snorkeling a reef drop off that spanned at least 3 KM’s. We also got into the spirit of it all and kayaked half the way round the island, well Margo and I kayaked – the boys occupied themselves with taking photo’s of us and everything around us. We also spent some time surfing one of the Maldives infamous over-reef breaks and then back to Ayada in time for a hearty afternoon lunch.

Since arriving home, oddly enough everyone has asked us about the food and we can absolutely say it was plentiful and sumptuous. Tuna is the Maldives 2nd main source of income (after tourism) and happily it is in abundance on the island. The sashimi lovers in our group we’re so spoilt with the freshest tuna we’ve ever tasted! On our last night we had a celebratory dinner at the Mediterranean themed restaurant Ocean’s Breeze, like everything else on the island it’s all focused on the ocean and as we sat on the deck watching the sunset and the lights of the bungalows twinkle onto the water, the food just did not stop arriving – we we’re quite literally drowning in excellently prepared and presented sea fare. The standout was the scallops, they were soft and buttery and, well, simply the best scallops I’ve ever had.

WAH-Maldives-Edited-16

Ayada offers a varied array of accommodation, from a beachside villa or suite and of course the quintessential over water bungalow, and having now experienced this slice of bungalow life, I don’t know how I will ever be able to stay in a villa that doesn’t’t have a glass bottom lounge room to watch as the underwater world swims by, or for that matter doesn’t have an infinity pool that stretches over and into an endless blue. I have been totally spoilt by the vistas and serenity of Ayada.

WAH-Maldives-Edited-10

Every suite and villa island-wide has a private pool (of course) and so we found that through the day most of the guests chose to vacation in their secluded spaces – who wouldn’t’t! Which left the main pool area, swim up pool bar and restaurant, well, quiet – which is an absolute first for any resort I’ve ever been to and we relished the opportunity to do some lazy laps and partake in a couple of in-pool cocktails!

As the term ‘workation’ implies it wasn’t all long lunches, sashimi, cocktails and working on our tans. Our team we’re there to shoot our Pre Fall campaign, which will be released in Mid-May and I say without hesitation that it is the best campaign yet. So much so, we’re having a very tough time choosing from the thousands upon thousands of images we created, but this is the best problem to have after any campaign shoot.

The Ayada team went above and beyond and catered to all our needs, and then some, our model Margo celebrated her birthday with us on the island and the the staff marked the event with a cake and a song! There’s one thing for certain, besides the tan lines and endless memories, the Maldives has left an indelible mark on us all.

 

WAH BABES

Over the summer we have spotted a few of our favourite babes out and about in their We Are Handsome gettup. Whether on the back of a motorbike heading for a surf, swimming in crystal clear ocean, catching a tan by the pool or simply chilling out on the balcony, beauties like Mimie Lashiry, Lindy Klim, Aimee Song, Ashley Sky and Jasmin Howell, all showed us their adoration and instalove for WAH. Right back at you ladies!

How To: Get your pool party style on!

xvelvet-june-2012_jpeg_pagespeed_ic_Xml19vtEHu

Here at WAH HQ we love a good pool party. Combine good company, great food, cocktails and awesome tunes and pool action and we will be there in a heartbeat. It can be difficult to find the right outfit for an occasion like this. Questions are raised? Do I go completely casual? If so how casual? Do I wear a bikini or one piece? Hats? Shoes? Throwover? What a debacle! So let us make a few suggestions. Here are 3 key looks perfect for pool party vibes.

The Handsome Wanderer

look 1

This look is fun, sexy but casual. You can never go wrong in The Vagabond Scoop One piece. It is flattering and seamless, making you feel absolutley gorgeous. Denim cut offs are a must this summer. Whether you are a shorty short girl or simply want to get creative with a pair of vintage, denim is a versatile choice, able to transition from day to night. Obviously our skin needs shade, as do our eyes, so a cute fedora and a killer pair of unique sunnies is an essential. Pair this with a neon bag and a pair of slides and you are summer perfect.

Playful Perfection

Pool part 2
Pastels, denim, embroidered bags, wide brimmed hats and a pop of colour? Frenchy Chic meets the never ending summer (all you need is a cute hipster bike)! From our latest collection, The Bahamas String bikini is subtle but oh so sweet. Pair this with a pastel denim swing skirt, mirror sunnies (Anna Dello Russo inspired) and a pale shade wide brim fedora from Lack Of Color and you are the perfect combination of fun, flirt and beach. The playful nature of this outfit emulates the cool, fun summer vibes of a pool party!

All Black Everything

pool part 3
If you’re more of a sitting by the pool with a cocktail in hand kinda girl, we got your back! Obviously The Pantera Silk Shaft dress is a perfect option. It’s elegant, sexy, eye catching, light enough to keep you cool, modest enough to cover all the right places. Its versatility provides a seamless transition from the afternoon sun into to the fading sunset. A simple yet statement heel says all the right things, when accessorized with a traditional wayfarer, fedora and gypsy cuff from Hipanema. Adding a pop of colour on your lips and nails provides a mischevious element to the look. And why wouldn’t you want to be cheeky? It is a pool party after all!

So if you happen to be invited to a pool party this summer or end up spending your sunday afternoon with our good friends at The Olsen Pool Club, make this your inspiration to create the perfect Pool Party outfit.

Here’s a taste of the inspiration we’re feeling for this trip…

  • Please don’t iron or dry-clean it.
  • Also, try to stay away from rough surfaces as it could cause pilling, and we all know that is not a good look.
