I had a dream.
I love blogging so much, as it has been a forum for meeting so many friends, and I wanted to meet some of the fantastic gals I have met online.
We did it in the form of a fashion shoot celebrating modern friendship, fun fashion, and Rural Australia.
It was a bit of a spoof of Sex and the City – showing that you can be glam, have fantastic friends and fun wherever you are.
I wanted to highlight that a life in the Country doesn’t have to be ‘daggy’ and Country Folk are not the ‘poor cousins’ of the City kids!
I have been on both sides of the fence and have to say creativity soars without the distractions of the City!
It is not necessary to be in New York, -Â with a bit of imagination you can dress up, have amazing friends and be oh so glamorous even at the working-class pub downtown Rural Australia!
It is what we did!
Dream it + Do it – the only obstacles are the ones you create!
With massive gratitude to the following businesses for acting as our watering cans:
Wild Fillies Photographers Andrew Yeo and Em Bradshaw, Verily, Pipduck, wYse Bodywear, Elle from Hayven, Violet & I, MiMi First, Gary from Saltbush Motor Inn, Kathryn’s Creations, Tania Louise, Hats by Felicity, Styling You, Notes From A Muse; Casey from Fatal Attraction Hair & Beauty Salon, Long Paddock Cafe and Grill Hay,Commercial Hotel Hay, Shear Outback, Perfect Balance Kinesiology and Hay Show Society (and thanks to all the girls + boy for making the trek to the unknown!)
Each of the people and businesses listed above took a chance on a crazy idea both lending and giving clothing / shoes / jewellery for the shoot. Fantastic supporters and fellow grass ‘waterers’ for being involved. Thank-you to the girls for taking the leap of faith and meeting me in 3D!
Thank-you from the bottom of my heart.
Please enjoy the photo shoot and story below, special thanks to Luke the wonderful “One Horse” for narrating

This is brilliant – well done, Sharni!
Thanks Al!
Great photos Sharni! Looks like I missed a great weekend. Hope you had a blast! xx
Great photos, looks like you had a weekend to remember. The Verily outfit looks good, love the boots, Leonie
Thanks Leonie – love Verily — very stylish yet everydayish! Appreciate your support in this project :-)
What a great idea! Looks like you all had a lot of fun!
We did – it was so fun, too quick though…. need a week next time!! Cheers Jacki!
Love the shoes and cocktails – you organized a great weekend, congratulations!
You are coming next time!!! And yes there will be a next time… maybe not in the OHT — maybe your way? Sex and the Coast?
Great photos and captions and clothes and accessories and gals and setting! Worth waiting for!
Phew! Thanks Heather, was a little concerned it might not match up to the lengthy hype :-)
once again you have done a great job sharni……
Hahah, classic! Looks like you had fun!
(love the colour of those toxic green drinks! they look deadly)
They were purposefully green (you know grass is greener and all that!) pretty deadly though!!!! Especially these days as I’m not as good with the cocktail as I used to be… (baby will do that!)
Wow, what a lot of fun, congrats on organaizing all of this!
Thanks Kristin – just loved it!
Love the idea Sharni, great way to get behind your local businesses to. All the ladies look fantastic and you all look like you will remember the weekend for a long time to come.
Cheers
Thanks Andrew we definitely will!
Love the photo of Em & Tash in Hayven. Looking very Samantha n Miranda xo
