IN BLOOM



Summer time in Australia.

Sundresses, Sun hats and the perfect splash of floral.

LEOPARD JEANS

Printed denim occupies the most of my wardrobe, and this leopard pair, courtesy of newest denim kids on the block, RES Denim, are stacking up as one of my favourites.

I always love to style luxe basics, like this silk tunic, with printed denim to create an effortless statement look in an instant.

As always, any outfit of mine isn't complete without my favourite Fiel Sol statement necklace.

ZULU & ZEPHYR

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

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.

BLESSED ARE THE MEEK

For my last guest post for SurfStitch, I couldn't resist styling this buttery soft Blessed are the Meek leather skirt.

Generally, I love to wear lots of colour, but as soon as I slipped this statement skirt on, I felt like mixing things up a bit, channelling a head-to-toe neutral look.

In other news, it isn't long now until my birthday celebrations, which means the search is on for the perfect party dress. At the moment, Zimmermann and Alice McCall are at the top of my wish list.

As always, tweet, instagram or facebook any suggestions you might have - I'd love to see them.

I’m excited to announce that I will be guest blogging for online retailer SurfSitch’s fashion blog, This&That.

Over the next couple of weeks, I'll be sharing some of my SurfStitch favourites in a series of style posts. This Tigerlily maxi dress, with retro print and knee-high splits is the first of my SurfStitch summer must-haves.

This stunning maxi dress falls beautifully and works just as well dressed up as it does dressed down with a cute pair of summer sandals.

The perfect day to night dress. Next I'll be sharing with you the perfect denim shorts
