Tracks x
Have you seen the trailer, or even seen the film Tracks? It’s a film adaptation of Australian’s Robyn Davidson’s memoirs about her journey across thousands of kilometres of dessert from Alice Springs to the Indian Ocean in 1977.
What caught my eye was not just her story: She’s always maintained she didn’t know why she decided to walk across Australia with camels but I think we can all relate to that idea of growing wings and flying away.
But I also loved her style – no longer in the world of princesses, it harks back to the innocent days when labels were an irrelevance and you wore something because it was comfortable and you loved it. Her style is as natural as breathing air.

There’s a powerful sense of self to roam in your own world where you are Queen.
Rich, raw and rather wonderful I shall watch and learn.

Desperate to see this movie. I love tales of endurance and in particular learning to embrace being alone….and if you can look stylish while on “The Journey”….then better still xxx
Agree..not quite the same, but we’re taking the kids camping in Greece this year..I want them to find that joy in simplicity and self-reliance. No camels though! xxx
I had not heard of this movie until your post – and now I am all about seeing it! Thanks!!!!
I hear the cinematography is pretty special too.. xxx
Am so looking forward to seeing this film. Includes armpit hair and everything! Believe the cinematography is as amazing as the story. Love to hear what you think of it x
I can’t wait to see it.. xxx
The fabrics she wore look so familiar to me. I’m sure I had something similar in my 20’s. I really enjoyed the book, but I don’t know how, being so fair, she didn’t burn to a crisp
Yes!! I had a maxi Indian skirt that I adored..wonder what happened to it… xxx
This film has been on my must watch-list for sometime, perhaps need tissues. Kxx
It’s special when all the aspects of a film come together..tissues will be ready! xxx
What a marvelous story about a woman who is a true bohemian…
both inside and out–and her style is exactly that too…
so beautifully authentic and organic to who she is!!~ xo
I think that’s why I love it so much..it is utterly authentic xxxxx
I’d written this film off but I’ll definitely check it out now! X
I think it’s one you almost need to see on your own..tucked up with a glass of wine1 xxx
