Country Road High Summer
Wish I was on this beach. Wish I owned these pieces. Wish leaves looked this good in my hair.
Love the colour palette. Love the bronzed skin. Love the hard sand. Love Country Road.
Things I Love in November
Shopbop – Bop basics Grey tee
Karl Lagerfield Specs (In the last shot!)
New Clothes:
Eeee I love my new Boutique 9 pumps from Shopbop- my girlfriend from Sassybella.com was wearing them at an event and I fell in LOVE with them. Aren’t they so pretty! The heel may be 5 inches and I may not be able to work on any uneven surfaces but it’s ok. It’s a serious love.
New Obsession:
Sprite Zero – please nobody tell me how bad this is for me – because right now I am throughly enjoying putting it into my calorie counter & getting told it has NO CALORIES! I’ll probably get cancer, but for right now when the summer is upon us I am loving keeping my calories down.
New Beauty Products:
Nutrimetics Beach Deep Moisture Body Wash ($25 for 200ml) smells like a dream. I live really close to the city these days and don’t get to the beach as often so anything that makes me feel like Bondi is a stones throw away is a win for me! It’s full of sea kelp to get that super frrresssh feeling.
New Hair Products:
I am the LAST person in the entire world to jump on the Moroccan Oil bandwagon. But I am now in LOVE! if I knew how to do those terrible .gif flashy hearts on here I would. I’ve just used the shampoo & conditioner for the last month and it’s like my hair is on another planet. Finally smooth & tame-able and shiny! Oh and It’s also Sulfate, phosphate and paraben free so you won’t get some nasty illness y’all.

Colour Blocking with The Westfield Insider
Spring/Summer runways at Australian Fashion Week burst of colour. Lime green, hot pink and bright red seemed so natural next to each other. Hair was sleek, the jewels sparkled and the espadrilles were oh so high. On the weekend I hit Westfield Hurstville with Alyce Cowell to pick out a couple of cute colour blocking looks for the season.
With a $200 budget we were on the hunt to find the hottest way to work colour blocking for Spring/Summer 2011. As I’ve said time and time again I just started a new job so I’m always conscious of putting together an outfit that works for the weekend and as well as the working week. For a complete head to toe colour block look we hit up Glassons. The store was bursting from the seams with bright hues. I usually don’t put pictures of myself on the blog but this outfit for under $200 was so cute I had to give it a go!
Outfit from Glassons
$49.99 jacket
$59.99 dress
$39.99 shirt
My favorite piece was the cropped cobalt blue jacket, it’s a way to wear sleeves in summer without looking bulky or winter-ish. It’s the kind of thing I’ll be able to wear for seasons to come.
“If you’re just starting out with adding colour to your wardrobe adding accessories to a neutral palette is an easy way to start.” Alyce Cowell the Westfield Insider explains. Alyce goes into depth with the colour blocking trend over at her blog. Armed with this advice we headed over to Wittner for shoes and Colette for accessories. 
If you are thinking about adding brights into your wardrobe for summer take a look at the shades of colour already in your wardrobe and go from there. Love pink, step it up and colour block with hot pink. Plenty of light blue’s, make you blue rock and try out an electric blue shoe!
Love the colours of these belts! They were only $9.99 too! You could buy every colour.
Wittner has so many great shoes for the coming season. From sky high heels to chunky platforms or just a flat for casual wear. My favourite shoes were these bright blue wedges which will easily take you from garden picnic to night on the town. Priced at $169.95 you’ll live in them for summer.
Alyce Cowell has had the opportunity of a lifestyle becoming The Westfield Insider, shopping up a storm, hanging out with Gok Wan in London and touring the country offering style advise to Aussie women. Visit Alyce at https://www.facebook.com/Westfield
Designer Profile: Painted Moon
I’m so excited for summer so I can my groove on in loose tops, long skirts and flowers in my hair. I love this new collection called Painted Moon it’s the softer hippie luxe side of General Pants. Love.
How to do Hippie Luxe for Summer
Sydney based label Cocolatte shows you how. These gorgeous whimsical images are from the labels Spring/Summer 11/12 campaign. Who else is uber inspired to ride horses, play in long grass and dress in only suede, crochet and lace? The best thing is the label is super reasonably priced. Usually this just means I over shop. Argh hurry up summer!

Designer Profile: Wrangler loves Summer
Ahh summer collections are dropping, there is a light at the end of the dark, wet & dreary tunnel! First off the ranks is denim fav Wrangler, a good summer warm up – just trade in your skinny leg jeans for some frayed shorts. Kane Skennar photographed the lookbook for the season which is full of delicate lace, cropped denim, 70′s blues, red and a whole lot of summer loving. I’m not sure who the model is but she completely encapsulates what I want summer to look like for me. Would it be weird to wish for sun kissed freckles come November? Anyway just love the collection like I do!
Celebrity Style: Whitney Port & Taylor Swift love Wildfox
Did we miss the memo? Why didn’t my girl Whitney Port give me a call? Apparently polished is out, comfy tee’s are in, not just any tee though: A Wildfox Couture tee. Every celeb and their BFF is rocking one of these all American knits and tee’s. Think hanging out in your door room the day after spring break, retelling tales of a misguided summer, the kind of tails you’ll reflect back on years to come. Ok granted we don’t have spring break in Australia, but it just sounds so much cooler than the sweltering summer in Ausland. Did I mention in this dorm party Miley Cyrus is there, Whitney Port, Demi Lovato, Ashley Greene and Taylor Swift too all in their Wildfox Couture tee’s swapping stories and blowing bubbles with cherry flavoured bubble gum? (This is starting to sound like a teenage boys fantasy).
Point being, Wildfox couture is cute. You can buy it at Shopbop.com Styles in the picture are linked below!
