A few things

1. Ray-Ban Original Wayfarers

2. Pour La Victoire Cailey Sandals

3. Sass and Bide '2 Tone' Soft bra

4. CK one Eau Du Toilette 

5. Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain

6. Michael Kors Layton Watch

7. Ultra 3 'Lily White' Nail Polish

These are a few things that I am loving at the moment. White and tan are still occupying my thoughts and have culminated in the repeat offence of this ultra three white polish and my new Pour La Victoire sandals. There is something so refreshing and crisp about bright white on tan. 

Sunset At Bondi

Last night Ben and I had a perfect dinner on the beach whilst watching the sun set. We don't usually get a lot of time together in the early evening as I often work nights. 

This dress, which I bought in Melbourne some five years ago, is an oldie but a goodie. There are some items in my wardrobe that have survived cull after cull and somehow manage to stick around despite hardly ever getting any wear. This dress is a perfect example of this. I tend to only bring this one out in the height of summer, when I can't imagine anything other than a shapeless shift dress to be appropriate.

I purchased these pants over a year ago at Zara and although I don't wear them very often I can't seem to chuck them out. I think this is as close as I'm going to get to the way I meant to wear them all those months ago. So I have decided to hold onto them for one more season as they are the perfect texture and weight for spring.

I am loving the warmer weather at the moment and relishing in thoughts of tan grecian sandals, crisp white shirts, denim cutoffs and white interiors. There is nothing better than leaving all the windows open to allow the sweet air to float gently in.

Sheepskin

My latest acquisitions; a sheepskin rug which, although not the most sensible purchase (as this week has heralded the arrival of spring a week or two early), seemed like the perfect addition while I was passing through the airport last weekend and a new 100% silk camisole (this time by Alexander Wang.)

 Once you are onto a good thing I figure why change it? My ever expanding collection of camisoles for summer are the perfect antidote to hot weather and that not-so-nice sticky feeling. I am tending to gravitate towards lighter colours such as whites, creams and nudes for the coming months with light makeup and a quick slick of a pinky nude lipstick, just to keep it interesting.

Whimsical

Just a basic outfit for the day. I Did a quick DIY job on this vintage circle skirt using some safety pins and voila...two skirt styles in one.
I am having a bit of an obsessive relationship with these Topshop 'Mighty' Boots and their Lipstick in the shade Whimsical. They arrived in an order a few days ago and neither have left my being since. This shade is a perfectly subtle and neutral peachy colour that is relevant and acceptable for every situation which has cemented it's place in my bag at all times.

One of the perks of my job is getting to travel and earn money at the same time. This weekend I had the pleasure of jetting off to the picturesque paradise that is Hamilton Island for a Collette Dinnigan Show. It's been great to get away (even if only for 24hrs) and so incredibly relaxing. I even managed to squeeze in a beach-side yoga class this morning although said yoga class has also left me unable to carry my luggage..what a fail. I think these shorts and silk camisoles are going to set the tone for the rest of my wardrobe for this coming summer (along with the collection of lwds -little white dresses- that I am currently accumulating.) It's all about a relaxed effortless look along with understated makeup and the perfect pair of flat sandals for which the search continues!
