ANIMAL ACTIVIST PROFILE: Annalise Braakensiek

~ Fun Fearless Female, Annalise Braakensiek

Last week I had the utmost pleasure of a lunch date with Annalise Braakensiek!

This stunning superwoman has been an animal activist for as long as she can remember. Having grown up in Byron on a vegan diet, done multiple campaigns for PETA (The Naked Truth About Sheep Export, Save My Sheep)  and worked alongside Cleo Magazine campaigning to stop live sheep exports.

Her heart is defiantly in the right place! As well as being a model and actress, this beauty is a vegetarian cook and lingerie designer!!

ONE MANS RUBBISH, ANOTHER MANS TREASURE

~ Bondi Autralia, Garage Sale Trail 

As the saying goes: one man's rubbish really is another man treasure.

I absolutely love hunting for treasures and  it's taken me years to learn how to restrain myself. Truth be told, I still don't think I'm quite there yet...

The Garage Sale Trail was brimming with treasures. The philosophy behind the event was that consumerism can be sustainable.

Roaming the streets and trawling through everyone's goodies was indeed very personal, and I felt like part of a pirate community eyeballing an excesses of treasures!

What I love about vintage shopping (aside that it's obviously much more sustainable) is that things are unique, can be one of a kind and are often bargains! I snapped up those beautiful hand made indian bangles for a mere 2 bucks!
