Spring Fashion: Carnival of Colour

Image source: Photographer Lauren Biggs Photography

The hot tip for spring fashion is colour. The bolder the better.

You can never have too much colour in your wardrobe – or in your life!

We had the most spectacular day shooting at the Sunshine Coast Turf Club and meeting some race superstars including The Face  (pictured left) – we now know him as ‘The Face of Hello Sunshine Magazine’! This gorgeous horse is trained by David Vandyke, one of Australia’s most talented horse men, who gave us exclusive access to his stables.

Welcome to our spring carnival of colour!
