Style Crush: Pixie Geldolf

 

Name: Pixie Geldolf

Claim to Fame: Daughter of Rockstar Bob Geldof, International Model and co-creator of funkyoffish.

 

One word to describe style: Experimental.

 

Forever altering her clothing choices and hair styles, (be it bright pink, super short platinum blonde, or devilishly dark brown) Pixie has a daring personal style and is not afraid to try something new.  Consistently dressing up in jackets, layered necklaces, shredded jeans, edgy dress’s and crop tops, her style is somewhat punk rock princess meets 80’s glam. Think Madonna, but more funky. At night or at special events, you can find her wearing suitably quirky outfits that compliment her outlandish look.

I love her ‘I don’t give a fuck, I’ll wear what I want’ attitude. Going from punk rock with dark eyeliner and ripped jeans, to clean cut with pastels and pretty skirts, she can master any look whilst giving it her own little twist, and always looks banging.

Places in Adelaide: A Mother's Milk

A Mother’s Milk, Adelaide

This quaint little cafe` located in Unley is the perfect spot to have a cute brunch date with friends.

The food is AH-MA-ZING!!! So, So delicious. I had the chicken sandwhich. Filled with rocket, a crisp strip of chicken, smeared with avocado and sandwiched between two slices of doughy, perfectly toasted, bread. I devoured every bit of it in just under 2minutes (it was really yummy ok).

I aslo had the apple and pineapple juice which was a tangy slice of heaven.  Definitely a worth while refreshment that will wake up your taste buds (and help nurse a hungover).

The venue itself is cute and quirky, with a with a rustic urban feel. We sat next to the book shelf and were highly entertained by its contents. I’m more then certain the owner just went to an op shop and bought every book with the funniest title. Great attention to detail, I enjoyed it.

Finally the service was great! Everyone was so friendly and helpful.

A Mothers Milk is definitely worth a visit, you can find it at 105 Unley Road and they’re open for breakfast and lunch.

You can thank me later.

Sacred Blue Cenote, Mexico

Bucket List #4

Sacred Blue Cenote, Chichen Itza, Mexico.

The Sacred Blue Cenote (or Ik Kil Cenote) is a natural sinkhole located 2 miles away from the Mayan Ruins in Chichen Iza. The Mexican Yucatan Peninsula is known for its Cenotes and the Mayans believed that Cenotes were portals to the underworld. The gorgeous blue water that inhabits the sinkhole looks even more enchanting beneath the natural sunlight filtering through the roof above.

I’ve only seen pictures, but holy crap doesn’t it just make you want to go there, jump in the perfect blue water and lay there staring up at the beauty that surrounds it. It doesn’t even look real.

Add it to the list.

Places in Adelaide: The Whispering Wall

The Whispering Wall, Adelaide.

The Whispering wall is the retaining wall of the Barossa Reservoir. There are bushes, a wall and a lot of water.

Why the hell would I want to visit a dam Jeffrey?

Well before you write it off, the Whispering wall is actually a big attraction in Adelaide that a lot of people don’t know about. Why is it so appealing?

Let’s say you got really drunk one weekend and accidently hooked up with your best friends ex, ex-boyfriend, and you want to tell her but you’re too nervous. What if she punches you? Well dear friend, take her to the whispering wall, get her to stand on one side of the dam and you stand on the other side, a whole 100meters away. Because of the dam’s unique acoustic effects, words whispered at one end can be clearly heard at the other. Problem solved. You can tell her what you did, and she won’t be able to push you into the dam because you’re 100meters away!

And really she can’t be angry; you drove her all the way out here, took her on a lovely picnic in the hills, enjoyed the beautiful Australian landscape, saw a kangaroo or two and spoke to each other through a wall. You’re forgiven.

Ok so maybe you could have just called her, but this way is much more fun. The Whispering wall is a great place to visit because it makes you feel like a kid again. Running up and down the dam, whispering things into the wall, having a full on conversation with whoevers at the other end, giggling, “haha helloooo, I can hear you, I’m talking through a brick wall.”

It’s a good laugh, and good place to take kids or adults who still act like kids.

So next time you’re in the Barossa Valley region, head to Williamstown where on the outskirts you’ll find the Whispering Wall.

The Tunnel of Love, Ukraine.

Bucket List #3


The Tunnel of Love, Klevan, Ukraine.

This fairy tale tunnel is located in Klevan, Ukraine. It is a three kilometre railway section that leads to the fibreboard factory.

Known by the locals as the Tunnel of Love, the trees that surround the railway curve into a natural arch, creating a radiating green corridor in the middle of the forest.

It is said that couples who visit the location and make a wish, will have their wish come true.

Not sure about that last part (that could just be because I’m cynical and single), but the Tunnel of Love looks like something out of a Disney movie. It looks like the kind of place that pictures don’t do enough justice. And the pictures look amazing.

Add it to the list.

Blue Lagoon, Iceland

Bucket List #2

Blue Lagoon, Iceland

 

 

The Blue Lagoon is a Geothermal Spa in Iceland. The mineral rich milky, aqua blue water simmers at 37-40 degrees, and is said to be very therapeutic all year round. Even in freezing-yo-tits-off-its-so-cold conditions. There is also a sauna,
steam bath carved out of a lava cave and a massaging waterfall at the location.

It’s situated in a lava filed in Grindavilk on the Reykjanes Peninsula on Icelands south-west coast. You have to pay to enter the Lagoon, from research it’s roughly about 35 Euros.

Iceland looks like a majestic place to visit, and god knows I could do with a visit to the Blue Lagoon.

Add it to the list.

Salar de Uyuni, Southwest Bolivia.

Bucket List #1

Salar de Uyuni, Southwest Bolivia.

Have you ever had those weird dreams where you’re stuck in limbo and you can’t work out where the sky ends and the ground begins?

Well if you haven’t, this is what it feels/looks like.

And believe it or not, this place actually exists.

This remarkable landscape (known as the Salar de Uyuni) is in fact the world’s largest Salt Flat and is located in Southwest Bolivia.

16,000 years ago a lake covered the area, when it dried up it left behind a 4,000-square-mile basin of salt and created this masterpiece. Why would people travel to the other side of the world to see a massive patch of salt? Well during the wet season the water from the rain creates the world’s largest mirror, reflecting the sky above creating the illusion of walking on thin air.

Imagine. You can see the sky and clouds beneath your feet.

Mind Fucked.

Add it to the list.
