Light and bright is my go to for summer dress up fun. BUT WAIT I’ve mixed girly fun with an unexpected twist – leather!! Oh yes, my mini is in fact white leather!! Who would have thought the 80’s retro favourite could make such a chic and edgy come back!

Aussie label Kirsty Irwin nailed my style into one fab maxi skirt. White leather, thigh high split and sheer panels… whoa I feel like she knows me.

My literally airy and breezy singlet by another Aussie label Soot the Label, complemented my light and bright theme. Feminine, bright and versatility rolled into one!

Does something seem familiar here though? If you’re a regular reader you may recognise these candy popping Novo wedges and I also wore these in this same exact location here. Completely unintentional but the ferns and wilted birds of paradise were calling me my name!

Did I mention that I love floral print? Pretty sure you would know by now! Especially paired with my iridescent white shirt. Don’t think the camera quite picks it up but it’s a great feminine fun twist on a tailored white button down.

The purples and greys perfectly complements Spring’s Jacaranda trees. These delicate blossoms literally covered every car and was flooded in this Surry Hills back alley. A dream shot of mine was to create a shower of flowers as they descend defocused in the background. Many attempts of poking and prodding the branches took place with a failed result of a few measly flowers falling out. But hey we tried, I’m sure plenty more opportunities of creating a dream scenic moment will come up, flowers and floral print included.

After shooting at the iconic Bondi Beach I had to stop and remember what a beautiful city I/ we live in! Looking at this gorgeous colour palette and artwork of the strip is truly inspiring. Nothing clears the mind more than the smell and sounds of the beach! Plus Bondi's relaxing atmosphere with everybody out having fun and appreciating the stupendous sun, brilliant blue sky and sea. This is now my second comfortable/ casual outfit in a row and I am hoping you are enjoying it as much as I am!

For those of my subscribers not from Sydney or Australia, here’s a couple shots of the strip for you. I just had to post these for my non Aussie readers, the essence and culture of Bondi is essentially captured within these wildly imaginative legal graffiti artworks.

The hat, I'm obsessed and adore this magenta colour and it does its job of shielding my face from the harsh Aussie sun. I must admit I may have channelled a certain musical idol of mine subconsciously, bet you can’t guess who ;). Oh and the shoes! Can’t get more Bondi Hipster than a pair of loafers, I love the floral print on these. I remember having a very similar canvas pair when I was about 8, and I used to think I was so bad ass wearing it with my overalls! Wearing my favourite shade in these Story by Tang shorts was a no brainer and I haven’t worn a printed tee in ages so I’m happy to continue with many more ‘firsts’ ‘haven’t in ages’ and childhood revivals on this blog! Overall cutesy sorbet shades, prints and florals.. vanilla sweet!

Wind in the hair wind in the hairrrr!!! Nothing quite like it!

When your (my) legs are a little shy to take centre stage as they may well still be Winter mode, the beginning of Spring is the best time of year to wear maxi lengths. I wanted the dress and accessories to speak for themselves so my clean Spring canvas with this hard core gold collar (that I'm kinda obsessed with) just goes POP.

I'm thinking I'll be brave enough to wear my first above the knee length for the season in my next post!
