Say G'Day Saturday {60} ~ Ready for the Beach with Pottery Barn!

G'day sweet friends! Welcome to this week's Say G'day Saturday Linky Party.

Today we are heading to the beach for a week for our Autumn break and I am so excited! We haven't been to Mooloolaba since our Spring break last year and I am well and truly ready for a bit of salt, sea, surf and sand!

#TuesdayTune ~ Hyperlapse video of #Brisbane

Hello sweet friends and welcome to Natasha in Oz! Welcome to my (very late!) Tuesday Tune post!

Today I am thrilled to share a wonderful video created by Italian videographer Dario Calì. This beautiful "hyperlapse" video is of my hometown, Brisbane City.

Here is the description that accompanies the video:

I landed in Brisbane the February 7, 2013.

After 43 days in photographs and post production, more than 4500 photos, I finished my first timelapse dedicated to the city that hosted me so far, "Brisbane". For those who follow my timelapse knows that this is the first time that I choose as a subject a city environment ... Squares, churches, palaces ... All subjects that did not previously considered and that this "metropolis" I had the pleasure to shoot. Many shots are being made within the city center, Queen Street Mall, King George Square, Southbank ... this because I am without a car and I travel using public transportation.

In this timelapse I've also included for the first time a few Hyperlapse ie where a timelapse between shots and the other one moves from a few centimeters to a few meters depending on the distance to the subject.

I just had to share this video with you today because quite frankly I've never seen Brisbane look so good! I hope you enjoy it is much as I did!

Brisbane seems to be the flavour of the month at the moment - even The New York Times has featured our city! Just click here to read the article 36 Hours in Brisbane, Australia!

I hope you can also drop by and Say G'day again here tomorrow when I will be hosting this week's Say G'Day Saturday Linky Party! I'm starting it a little early because I'm off to the beach for our Easter vacation. I hope you can join me then.

Best wishes for a wonderful day,

Friday Favorites

G'day from Oz lovely friends! Thank you so much for stopping by to visit me for this week's Friday Favorites post!

Have you had a good week? I have had another busy week at home and at school and I so ready for the Easter break next weekend.  I also really am looking forward to a relaxing and stress free weekend. I think I'll be doing a lot of this!

I've been planning my perfect weekend on Polyvore. I think this would be the perfect outfit for stylish and relaxing dinner out with my friends and family. What do you think? I really love that cute bow on the bag and I especially love those black & gold slip on shoes. They look so comfortable!
