Spell & The Gypsy Collective | Byron Bay

Recently I featured my top 5 Blogs That Inspire The Wanderlust Gypset Within - stalk-worthy hubs that are exploding with style, home, life and travel inspiration. So I thought I'd go a little deeper into them individually and share why I like to disappear into their magical, mystical realms...

Spell & The Gypsy Collective Store

The best part about Spell & The Gypsy Collective is that it isn't just a blog or place to disappear into dreamland in the online world. If you're in the Byron Bay area, you'll have the chance to wander into their bohemian-beach-vibed-rock-n-rollin'-flagship store... Where all the wild things play.

When I was on my recent National Tour of Australia with my music, I got to play dress-ups at the store and took a few magical things home with me including the Thunderstruck Cuff:

White Dress, White Dress

MojoMade Crystal Necklace   |   Dress: Three of Something   |   Vintage Necklace @ U-Turn, Surry Hills

I'm not so much of a girly girl - for reasons I have not worked out yet - but I have to say, I do love a white lacey dress. Especially when paired with a pair of black boots and black accessories. It's the one thing that no-matter-what, if I see one, I buy it. Then I get home to hang said girly white lacey dress in my wardrobe and realise I have another one just like it. And when I say one, I mean six. It's turning into an epidemic.

However, when I saw this Three of Something dress hanging amongst all the other summer beauties at the Park Avenue PR showroom - it basically jumped off the rack and into my arms. I couldn't resist it - and I really don't have anything like it. No, really.

And you know what those gorgeous ladies at Park Avenue PR did? They gave me the dress because they heard that I had a load of washing stolen from my clothes line in the backyard.

Don't you just love when a negative turns into positive?
Or in my case, another girly white lacey dress.

Did you know that many blind people are able to differentiate colours by passing their fingers or hands over an object, actually feeling the quality of the colour? Pretty amazing, right?

Colours energies and all the psychology that goes along with it totally fascinates me and from time to time I find myself exploring the subject a little more. At the moment I am completely surrounded by orange (which may explain why I want to eat all the time - apparently orange stimulates the appetite!). My Mac-book cover is orange and so is my iPad cover. I have orange lamps in the house and am on a never-ending search for orange clothing! I can't explain it... Or can I?

Since I got together with my man six years ago, I've had a growing attraction to the colour orange and in researching my new colour crush I came across the book Colour Energy by Inger Naess. It turns out that in the colour world, I am VIOLET and he is ORANGE. 

In reading about what all this colour stuff means, I've discovered a bunch of reasons why I'm so attracted to the colour orange (and my boy) so much...

The color psychology of orange is optimistic and uplifting, rejuvenating our spirit. 

Orange brings spontaneity and a positive outlook on life 

With its enthusiasm for life, the color orange relates to adventure and risk-taking, inspiring physical confidence, competition and independence. Those inspired by orange are always on the go!

Orange aids in the assimilation of new ideas and frees the spirit of its limitations, giving us the freedom to be ourselves. 

SO! Put some orange in your life when you want:

• to spice things up when you feel time is dragging
• to become more involved in something
• to increase creativity
• relief from things becoming too serious
