A Summer's Day

I am absolutely loving this extended summer we seem to be experiencing so I decided to take full advantage and had my ultimate summer's day. Started off with a delicious lunch in Hampton at a cute cafe called Sip. This was followed by an afternoon of tanning and swimming at Half Moon Bay - seriously forgot how beautiful that place is! I literally felt like I was back on the beach in Hawaii.... Well, almost.

Post-Holiday Blues

Threw this adorable outfit on this morning in an attempt to pull myself out of my depressed post-holiday state. First day back at uni in 3 months and I'm already planning our next getaway (you're gonna love this one)! Best part about my day was that I finally got to use my fluoro pink 2013 diary...it kind of makes me feel like Malibu Barbie...and I kind of love it!

Matching Florals

Took a break from the tennis for the day and headed out to my fave lunch spot with Deb. Found you an epic new tuna salad to try, complete with cottage cheese, it is sooo up our alley! Decided I'd ignore the 35 degree heat today and rock this amazing floral bomber when I noticed how similar the print is to these Senso sandals. Can't believe we never noticed, seriously a match made in heaven!

Morning in Paradise

Discovered this amazing chain of stores in LA called Wasteland, where they sell vintage as well as a lot of cool Aussie labels like Minkpink and Cameo. I picked up this incredible vintage pink skirt for $29 and have been dying to wear it - thought a beach walk in the wind would be the perfect time to christen it, and of course make for a great style snap. This is the most beautiful place on earth and I can't think of a better place to go for a morning stroll - especially when it ended with us watching whales jumping out of the water right off the shore. Paradise.

Afternoon BBQ

Summer has finally arrived and I literally could not be more excited. I felt that blue skies and 28 degree weather called for tanning and cider by the pool so that's exactly how I spent my day. Following this was a BBQ at Dame's where we put on a spread which impressively met the dietary requirements of every carnivore, pescetarian and vegetarian there. Borrowed this adorable playsuit from Charlotte for the evening but have now decided I want to invest in one for us... frills and florals, what could be better?

Long Weekend

Decided to go to the Yarra Valley for the long weekend, my god it is so beautiful there! Spent the day tanning in the sun, followed by an afternoon walk around the hills and a late outdoor dinner at Innocent Bystander (which was delicious). How cute is this pink cuff! I found it in Jerome's room the other day... fairly sure it used to be a crown on one of our old dolls but it went with my outfit perfectly. PS. as you can see tan is coming along solidly, can't wait for you to come home so I can have a full time tanning buddy!

Twosie Week Day 2

Had cousin circle dinner at Jerome's which was lots of fun as always. While the spread he put on was particularly impressive (homemade falafel, dips and tabbouleh), the ridiculous sunset seemed to steal his thunder. So happy I held off on wearing this adorable Shakuhachi ensemble..couldn't think of a better time for it to make its HTL debut than twosie week! P.S keep your eyes open for an extra post later today...we have a surprise coming!

Back Home

First day back in Melbourne was hectic to say the least! Spent it running around meeting with designers for PFW wrap up, meaning I was surrounded by beautiful clothing all day. It took a lot of self control but after the damage we did in London, I knew I had to resist my urges to purchase! Stopped by Grape Seed to pick up our favourite chicken sanga... I had to do something to make you jealous now that I'm home!

Pope Joan

Stopped off at Pope Joan for lunch after uni. Was a beautiful day so we sat out the back in the most adorably decorated courtyard. Unfortunately, due to the glare, the photo could not do the scene justice... I do hope the killer outfit makes up for it though!
