A GIRL AND HER BIKE

Dear friends,

Wishing you all a very happy festive season!

For me - a brief visit to the family before heading off to Japan for an exciting adventure! Check me on TWITTER & FACEBOOK for all the updates.

A short break from the blog while I'm overseas and then I'll be back in the new year with more fashion and travel to share with you.

Stay safe and happy holidays!

HER NAME WAS LOLA

Dear friends,

Yesterday, Melbourne was treated to a delightful summers day, which for me meant a perfect afternoon of lazing boat-side by the marina, and indulging in refreshing home-made limonata. Ah, how I love summer!

This two-tone midi, via LOLA VS HARPER, has gotten quite the work-out of late and is proving to be the perfect piece to take me from scorching afternoons, through to balmy evenings.

Can't believe Christmas and the new year is almost upon us. So much last-minute gift buying to sort out!

Happy weekend all!

What do you think?

POLKA PLAYSUIT PT I

Dear friends,

Regular readers would know that playsuits/rompers occupy a large majority of my wardrobe.

One of the reasons I love a good playsuit is that they are perfectly versatile when styling. Whether it be worn as is, or layered, playsuits are my wardrobe go-to.

This polka beauty is the creation of Aussie label, VAMASTYLE and just screams summer! When uncovering new brands I always love to learn a labels story and design influences.

VAMASTYLE'S designer sums up her collection beautifully as inspired by endless summer holidays, lovingly designed using bright colours, eye catching prints and feminine detailing.

'Sunday brunch at Bronte, a beach holiday in Koh Samui, or drinks at The Ivy'.

Coming up, I'll show you another way that I love to wear this pretty number.

I'm wearing:

'Rock the Tanjong' playsuit, via VAMASTYLE
Vintage belt
Platform wedges, Airlie Beach
Sunglasses, Mink Pink, via MARKET HQ
