Melbourne, Zara and a TV commercial...

Yesterday was a long day, it is amazing how much you can fit into 12 + hours when the opportunity arises!

I woke at 5.15am to ready myself for a 6.30am flight to Melbourne.  Making the mistake of being a little rushed I bypassed the newsagent and was forced to deal with my boredom on a 2 hour flight.  Note to self: load movie onto ipad next time!

The traffic was crazy in the city as always, and an hour later I arrived at St Kilda to drop off some gear that was needed for the shoot a little later.

I had a bit of time up my sleeve so I then hightailed it to the Bourke St Mall to fit in a sneaky little visit to Zara.

Where I bought some cute little tops to go with my growing collection of coloured jeans... The grey sweater style top has a silver shimmer to it that the camera didn't quite pick up.

Then it was back to the media agency to start the filming for a TV commercial as part of me becoming an ambassador for a company (can't wait til I can reveal more!)

Next stop was a recording studio in Port Melbourne, I love how what you see on the outside, can be quite the opposite to what you get on the inside with these old buildings.  Old mixed with the new.

This part of the day was quite draining, trying to bring up old emotions is hard work.  The campaign is based around my career as an Ironwoman and I found that quite a lot of these memories were lost with motherhood...(thanks to the guys at CumminsRoss media for your patience!)

As it was such a beautiful day in Melbourne, the crew decided to try for some sunset shots by the beach so it was a dash to squeeze in what we could.  It was so pretty and a shame I couldn't appreciate it all in the mad rush!

With half an hour to spare to make it to the airport before the check in shuts, with sand still in between my toes it was back into a cab and a mad drive weaving traffic.  With two minutes to spare, the flight was made, sushi bought and a very tired me flaked out in the plane. This didn't last long though as one huge twitch (how embarrasing) flung me into an awake state and there I was cursing myself for missing the newsagent again...
