This post is dedicated to the loves in my life – my husband Bobby and our precious children, Jade and Jacob. They are my everything. My world. My heart.
Today I would like to share with them a little love letter to let them all know how grateful I am for their presence in my life.
To my dearest family,
Thank you for being my teachers, for bringing me insights into myself. For the way you can reach into the very depths of my heart, filling it with love and joy. I’m so grateful to wake each day knowing you are all there to greet me…with morning hugs, beaming smiles that fill the room with love and light, a contagious enthusiasm that reminds me of the magic of life.
My sweet angel Jade, you are so full of compassion and kindness for others and all those little acts of love never go unnoticed. Those little out of the blue hugs, “I love yous” and gifts you make me are the highlight of my day. You may not realise this, but each time you bring me a cup of tea with that gorgeous smile, so full of happiness, you warm my heart and make my day so special. It’s one of the sweetest and kindest gestures and I’m so grateful.
My darling Jacob, your curiosity for life and vivid view of the world reminds me to slow down and see all the beauty that surrounds us. You help me see the world with new eyes, which makes me feel so light and peaceful. Thank you for those ever so gentle morning hugs and kisses, especially when I’m still half asleep. It’s the most beautiful way to wake up each day. You absolutely melt my heart.
My dearest love Bobby. There are quite possibly not even enough words to describe the kind of love and gratitude I feel for you and all that you do for me and our family. You hold us all with your huge heart and unconditional love. Thank you for always looking out for me, having my back, supporting my passions, and picking me up over and over again. I love you with all of my heart and soul.
Love always and forever, your Helena xx
A big thanks to the beautiful Alice Or Jewellery for customising and creating 3 very special diamond rings for me to represent my unconditional love for my family. These divine rings are a daily reminder to me that nothing in this world matters more to me than my family.
With festival season heating up I’ve been tuning into the vibe and so has my wardrobe. Here are a few of my favourite festival inspired looks. Hope this post gives you guys some inspiration and gets those creative juices flowing!
This was such a fun outfit to create and wear on this free loving afternoon at the beach. Wind in my hair, jewels jingling with each step as I danced my little dance across the beach. This festival inspired look paired some of my all time favourites together – silk road tribal jewellery, spell lace via turquoise lane + the fifth element life mandala rings. This lace top is by far one of my most treasured wardrobe pieces right now. I can’t get enough if it, and such a versatile piece to style in so many different ways. Perfect with denim cut offs, maxi skirt or wear it open as a lovely light layer for those cooler summer evenings. Ahhhh summer nights…making the most of them while they are still here and drinking it all in.
I’m feeling the very slight shift here in Perth as we move into the cooler months and officially welcome the beginning of Autumn. The mornings are fresh with bright sunny days, and cooler evenings. This is probably my favourite time of year. It’s still so warm, yet the nights are bearable for sleeping without the AC running non stop.
I’m definitely not ready to be swapping my cut off denim shorts for longer threads just yet. But this slight shift does have me excited and thinking about autumn and winter fashion. I’m obsessed with denim and all those gorgeous shades of blue. Lots of texture, heavier fabrics, knits and leather.
This particular outfit I really really love. I love this ASbyDF cami, made from the softest, silkiest suede imaginable, + stunning knit in the freshest blues, paired with my favourite style denim cut offs + bright silver and crystal to amplify the clarity and fresh vibes I love. I’ve come back to this outfit over and over again because of it’s pure comfort and the holiday vibes it evokes in me. Perfect for the cooler weather too with some skinny denim and boots.

I’m so pleased to share with you all my feature on Happiness + Well Being magazine. A digital magazine dedicated to bringing holistic wisdom, nourishment and love to their readers. The magazine is filled with priceless and practical tools to remind you each and every day of just how amazing and beautiful you are. It has 100 pages filled with loving intentions, devoted to inspiring you to cultivate a life of love.
Here’s a little snipper from my interview with H + W.
H+W: What advice would you have for anyone struggling to love and accept themselves?
Helen: Be easy on yourself. We are all perfectly imperfect and our unique qualities are what make us all so beautiful. Embrace the beauty that you are. Please know you are enough just as you are. You have always been enough. You are more than enough. You can let go, trust and enjoy who you are and your life.
I am beyond honoured and grateful to the lovely Happiness + Well Being mag for taking the time to interview me. It’s been an absolute pleasure from beginning to end, and the process of answering their heart provoking questions has been an opportunity for me to reflect on my life, and how grateful I am for all that I’ve experienced.
