Weekends
For years, photographer and stylist Kara Rosenlund's passion was searching for a shack where the bush met the beach. When she found an original 70s A-frame weekender on an island off the east coast of Australia, weekends took on a new meaning. Nesting in this house deepened her appreciation for simple pleasures and showed her the value of carving out time to really make the most of Saturdays and Sundays.
In this personal guide to enjoying the power of weekends, Kara invites us into her A-frame. She shares the interiors of her home and reveals her styling philosophy with helpful tips for composing a vignette. She guides us through her photographic process and shows us how we too can develop an artist’s eye with the camera. She also celebrates the delight in making the perfect prawn sandwich and how to appreciate the simple act of line drying laundry.
Kara Rosenlund is known for her nostalgic take on iconic Australia. This is a personal book dedicated to the quintessential spirit of summer weekends in Australia and how we can best enjoy them through interiors, food and nature.

Guys, make a frame with your hands. There are three photos of her doing this. And the book has a smell.
The photos are actually really nice, especially those following Olive Cotton, but I wish I hadn't actually read the text. It's pretentious. Another book by people who make so much money they tout relaxation and being one with nature as the cure.

A self indulgent book about how great the author is, in her own words. She thinks her weekend rituals are deep and meaningful and even instructs you on how best to hang out your laundry... The best part of the book were her photographs of OTHER PEOPLE's things, sadly that was only about 10 pages.

Brief tidbits relating to the author's weekend "shack" on Stradbroke Island. Vintage style photography, evocative of a time gone by.

Oh, I do love Kara Rosenlund. I love her photography talent, her sensibilities, and the lifestyle brand she's built. This book has design and photography inspiration as well as being a reminder to live well.
I ordered it from her online store. It shipped all the way from Australia, which was a silly little thrill. The packaging it arrived in, the care Kara takes with everything she does was astounding.
