Skye O’Shaughnessy

Skye was being celebrated by her friends on her 28th birthday when we came across her last Tuesday.

“I moved to Bondi from London just over two years ago. I’ve been coming here to visit my family friend since I was 16 and always loved it. I decided to leave my job in fashion and embrace a new lifestyle by the beach. I’ve always loved being outdoors, swimming and running since I can remember so for me it was the perfect fit. I’ve been so lucky to make amazing friends who are like family out here as we are so far from home. It’s changed my whole perspective on how I want to life my life and I’m so grateful for that.
Most mornings, I start the day with a run followed by a dip in the ocean. I’ll usually meet friends for a coffee before work so we can catch up before heading to the office. It’s the perfect way for me to start the day as I feel so energised and positive for what’s next.
One thing about me is that I absolutely love fashion. I love how creative you can be with your style and accessories, and how everyone expresses their personality in a different way. I’ve been reading Vogue for as long as I can remember, and I’ve been lucky enough to work in the fashion industry, which has only made me appreciate it even more. It’s so fun how creative you get bringing ideas to life through colours, accessories and textures.”

Paddle-Out for Zak Michael

Bondi suffered a very sad loss when born and bred Bondi boy Zak Michael died in a free-diving accident in Indonesia recently. There was a paddle out for Zak on Friday, organised by the North Bondi Surf Lifesaving Club. He was much loved. There were many people in the water and watching on for the memorial.

Friday was Zak’s 29th birthday.
