TRAVEL DIARY | SEASIDE

neon dress summer fashion on Friend in Fashion

Naven dress / Peachy sandals

It isn't every day you get the opportunity to play tourist in your own backyard.

Most chances I get to travel, I pack my bags and head abroad, but this summer, I decided to explore more of my own country.

Followers of Friend in Fashion on instagram (@friendinfashion), facebook and twitter, for the last few weeks would have followed my road-trip adventure from Melbourne, all the way up north to Australia's Sunshine Coast. A total of around 3,000 kms (close to 2,000 miles).

I had an amazing time exploring beautiful beaches, and hidden local gems, like Hyams Beach on NSW's Central Coast and The Bridge Seafood in Mooloolaba.

The first instalment of my travel pictures, were snapped at one of my favourite stops along the way, Merimbula on the South Coast of NSW.

Sun, surf and sand. Nothing quite like a summer road-trip.

HOUNDSTOOTH

Manning Cartell houndstooth shorts / White Suede tank / Arm cuffs via Back Stage

As soon as I laid eyes on these incredible houndstooth shorts, I had to have them!

Manning Cartell has to be one of my favourite Australian labels, always feminine and always the right balance of on-trend pieces and classic wardrobe must-haves.

After NYE celebrations, lined up for tomorrow evening (you can check out my party outfit HERE), I'm off again on another road-trip of Australia, driving from Melbourne, all the way up North, to the Sunshine Coast.

Beaches, sunshine, and great adventures - bring it on!

Instagram (@friendinfashion), facebook & twitter to follow all the fun.

Happy new year to all of my beautiful readers.

BLACK & WHITE

Shakuhachi and Keepsake dresses on Friend in Fashion

Black: Keepsake dress & Shakuhachi belt via zoie.com.au / White: Shakuhachi floral lace dress zoie.com.au

Following on from my last blog post (HERE), I thought I'd share the second instalment of the lookbook shoot, I styled and modelled for ZOIE'S summer '13 collection.

Nothing beats the little black dress as a must-have wardrobe addition and this Keepsake dress, with sheer detailing and exposed back is the perfect balance of elegance, and fun.

Equally as important in my wardrobe is the perfect little white dress, so I couldn't help but pick out this pretty Shakuhachi floral shift dress to contrast with the black.

You can check out more behind the scenes from the shoot via instagram @friendinfashion

THE FLORAL SUIT

Alessa floral suit / White Suede blouse / Fiel Sol necklace

I've long been a fan of floral prints, so I couldn't resist this beautiful silk floral suit.

Designed by Melbourne label, Alessa, this very pretty two-piece, works perfectly suited or as separates.

The perfect summer suit.

BETTS - THE EDIT MAGAZINE

Vamastyle jumpsuit / Zara blouse / Vamastyle shorts / Vamastyle skirt & cami / Fiel Sol necklace / Staple maxi skirt via Market HQ / Vamastyle tank / Fiel Sol necklace

A short while back, the Betts team invited me to style some of their summer styles for their magazine - The Edit.

I'm definitely a summer dresser, so it was a pleasure to take some very pretty, and colourful Betts sandals and heels and team them back with my very colourful wardrobe.

All shoes featured here can be purchased online at the Betts website.

FIESTA - THE SUMMER MAXI

Spencer Lacy silk maxi dress / Tony Bianco sandals

There is something so effortless and romantic about throwing on a maxi dress in the heat of summer.

This beautiful silk print maxi, is compliments of Australian label, Spencer Lacy and is beautiful in its fabric and design. The asymmetrical shoulder and uneven hemline are such pretty features, and is not a combination I usually see in maxi dresses.

As my friend, B pointed out - very flamenco and very fiesta!

TALULAH

Talulah pants via Style Milk / Market HQ cut-out blouse / General Pants bra / hair Edwards & Co

A short while back, I picked up these gorgeous silk printed pants via one of my online favourites, Style Milk. They are the most beautiful, light-weight silk, which make them perfect to wear as the weather heats up, and can be easily dressed up or down.

As we get closer to the festive season, the social calendar is filling up with exciting events to share with you. The real excitement kicks off this Thursday, with a very luxe shopping challenge. Stay tuned to instagram and twitter for all of the updates.

And finally, for the instagram lovers, my friends over at Paint it Red, are giving you the chance to win a $500 wardrobe - check them out over at @likepaintitred for all of the details.

ZULU & ZEPHYR

Zulu and Zephyr high waisted bikini on Friend in Fashion

Zulu & Zephyr bikini / Somedays Lovin denim shirt via Market HQ

As the second instalment of Friend in Fashion's 'swim series' (part I here), I thought I'd showcase, one of my favourite new swimwear brands, Zulu & Zephyr - the creators of this adorable high-waisted bikini.

I've long admired high-waisted swimwear, but wasn't sure if I'd be able to pull it off.

To be honest, I've found high-waisted styles much more comfortable and modest than traditional skimpy bikini bottoms, and who can resist the retro throwback.

The bold tropical print, and ruffles are the icing on the cake on this sweet 'palm waisted triangle bikini'

MET HER IN MIAMI I

Ringuet swimsuit / Insight shorts via SurfStitch / Crochet dress via Emma Clothing

As we inch ever closer to summer, I've pulled out some of my favourite swimsuits and teamed up with Tina Kay for a Miami-esque beach series.

I really like the versatility of one-piece swimwear, allowing you to look great at the beach, and then by throwing on a pair of shorts, or a skirt, you instantly have a chic bodysuit.

An amazing crochet cover up, like this one via Emma Clothing is also a must.
