Birthday weekend

And so it's my birthday and the middle of an unseasonably HOT November. In-fact a record breaking heatwave of more than a week at temperatures over 39 degrees Celsius!

Over the weekend my fiancé and I kicked off by celebrating in a gorgeous vineyard with wine, cheese and a friendly game of croquet. The outfit - Children of the Sun sundress, fedora and paisley canvas shoes - nothing particularly experimental, but in this weather, less is definitely more!

I also enjoyed a day of shopping and a fabulous Moroccan family feast, with every evening of this week spent cooling off at the beach.

I was very spoilt by the family, receiving lovely gifts of clothes, jewellery and perfume. I look forward to celebrating with friends this weekend.

Don't forget you have until the end of November to enter my giveaway for your chance to win a custom made dress or skirt - enter here.

Spring has sprung

I had these gorgeous carnations left over from my engagement party last weekend and thought they would compliment the fabulous ‘Farrah’ maxi dress perfectly.

This dress is a part of Children of the Sun’s 2009 Summer Collection and definitely brings out the flower power in me!

On a side note - would you believe I didn’t capture one photo of the entire engagement party! Thankfully my good friends did, and I can’t wait to share soon – so stay tuned!

Labels I love: Children of the Sun

Since my first Children of the Sun (COTS) purchase last year (Summer Favourite All Year Round) I have been hooked on this super sexy and feminine label. The unapologetic use of vibrant colours, bold prints, simple fabrics and fabulous cuts make for stunning, and importantly wearable fashion. Best of all, COTS is well priced, ranging from $50 - $150 Aussie dollars.

Described as reminiscent of old-school music festivals, 70’s movie stars, and exotic overseas holidays, COTS’s 2009 summer collection of skirts, tanks and cropped jackets certainly lives up to this reputation. Stands-outs for me have got to be the gorgeous dresses – from the stunning yellow ‘Farrah’ maxi to the body hugging, tie-dye ‘Frankie’.

For overseas readers approaching the cooler months, COTS’s winter collections are characterised by the most gorgeous oversized chunky knits - a must see!

Show some love and check out more of the collection at the COTS facebook fan page.

Bring on the Pina Coladas and balmy beach nights!
