New Campaign: Heidi Mount for Samantha Wills

Samantha Wills' success is no secret.  Her 'jewels', as she calls them, are gorgeous and made for a girl who does not shy away from opulence.  She dominates Australia's accessories market with a thriving online presence and her success is certainly visible abroad.

It some ways it is no surprise that Chanel's 'it girl', Heidi Mount, is the face of Wills' new campaign, Portraits of Dusk.  Directed by Fabio Ongarato, Mount is perfect for this campaign, which has a certain air if sophistication about it.  Certainly more understated, whilst retaining that unmistakable glamour that Wills insists every girl should not shy away from, this campaign takes Wills' collection to a new level.

Country Comforts


This weekend was spent back home with family and friends; a weekend out of Sydney.

I love going home and the country comforts that my mother creates, so effortlessly, make me feel so at home. When Love and I walked through the door, the aromas of Mum's cooking hit me immediately: chicken on rosemary skewers with citrus infused couscous, bacon and butter Brussels sprouts, pumpkin and pine nut cannelloni, finished with my Mum's famous lemon meringue pie. Delicious and so familiar.

I love strong design and strong modern lines, but I immediately fall in love the country comfort feel that my mother creates throughout the home when I walk through the door.  White, simple country accents against the warmth of distressed timber.  Everything placed with such love and care... truly home sweet home.

New Acquisition: Olympus EP2

A new take on an old sensation, welcome Olympus Pen EP2. 

With so many new and impressive compact DSLR and Micro Four Thirds systems available, the EP2 still stands out from the crowd.
Aside from its impressive specifications (Steve's all over it), there is no doubt that this is a superb piece of design.   

Is it as gorgeous as it looks?  Yes.  

Does it feel great?  It certainly does.  

Did Kevin Spacey woo me?  No question.

Has this camera convinced me that I am certain to take better pictures simply because it feels so seriously cool?  Of course it has!

Fortyeightfox's own photographs will be taken on this little piece of chicken.  Excellent news.
