See ...
A champagne brunch on the Gold Coast followed by the Magic Millions Polo (the Harrolds team was captained by Zara Phillips) and dressage and tricks from the happy horses, sans saddles, after a beautiful lunch.

Stay ...
The QT Hotel on the Gold Coast, and a friend's beautiful home amongst the trees in Newrybar, near Byron Bay.

Take ...
The best thing about summer holidays is not having to pack so much for the vacation. With me on my mini holiday was my new favourite scent by SoH x RUSSH and a plethora of summer dresses, vintage and new. My Marysia swimsuit and In Bed linen robe made for enjoyable sunset wines by the pool.

Taste ...
Dinner at Yamagen, breakfast at Harvest in Byron Bay.

Shop ...
Harrolds on the Gold Coast and you can't miss Coven Shoppe, Mullumbimby.

Insider tip ... 
On the drive from the Gold Coast to Byron stop for a swim at Minyon Falls to cool off.
