WEEKEND WEAR

Outfit via The Iconic 

To celebrate the launch of #thesummershop and all things summer, The Iconic asked me to style up an outfit for my perfect summer weekend.

For me, weekend wear is all about versatile pieces that mix and match easily. Being summer, a pair of easy breezy shorts are a must, I never shy from a pretty floral print, and I couldn't pass up on summer's must-have footwear, Birkenstocks.

You can check out more of my weekend favourites, via The Iconic's Summer Shop.

FRIEND IN FASHION x LIFE with BIRD

LIFE with BIRD shorts, tank, bomber & belt | Balenciaga heels

To coincide with the their new Chadstone store opening on Saturday 7 December, this week, I've teamed up with one of my favourite Australian designers, LIFE with BIRD, to bring you my favourite looks this festive season. 

When it comes to party season, I generally head straight to dresses, so I thought I'd mix things up a little and style a range of different party favourites. The first look is shorts - who says you can't wear shorts to a party?

I love matching separates together and this pretty lilac tank/shorts combo are the perfect splash of colour, and this bomber is hands down one of my favourite pieces from the new LIFE with BIRD collection - so versatile and so chic.    

So If you're in Melbourne over the weekend, do swing by and join me at the opening of LIFE with BIRD's new Chadstone store. There will be plenty of fun and surprises - I'd love to see you. 

When: Saturday 7 December, 1pm - 4pm

Where: LIFE with BIRD, Chadstone Shopping Centre

Complimentary refreshments provided, as well as your chance to win a beautiful LIFE with BIRD dress.

THE JUMPSUIT

Flynn Skye Jumpsuit | Bijouterie jewels

I'm definitely a jumpsuit kind of girl and this one is beauty.

When I was in Los Angeles, I had the pleasure of picking my favourite pieces from local label, Flynn Skye and shooting with my girl Chanelle Leslie on Venice Beach.

This is the final instalment of our collaboration - check out part one (CALI GIRL) and part two (TEAM PARIS).

There's definitely something about LA which brings out my inner beach babe.

Sun in the sky, sand in my feet.

TEAM PARIS

Flynn Skye dress | Team Paris sweater | ASOS shoes 

As mentioned in my last post (HERE), when I was in LA last week, I teamed up with friend,  Chanelle Leslie, to shoot a California-inspired story. Here is part two.

In the last couple of years, I've been back and forth between LA and must say, it has quickly become one of my favourite cities. This time round, I chose to stay in the eclectic neighbourhood of Venice Beach, where I had the pleasure of meeting designer behind the label, Flynn Skye. An accomplished business woman, and genuinely kind and all round fabulous person.

Flynn Skye, represents the true essence of Venice Beach and the California-beach inspired lifestyle.

One of my favourite labels.

CALI GIRL

Flynn Skye pants | Calvin Klein top | Bijouterie jewels | American Apparel hat 

Just before I left LA, I had the absolute pleasure of catching up with good friend, and fellow Aussie blogger/photographer/ all round amazing chic, Chanelle Leslie. We always seem to meet coincidentally in new cities - you can check out our last collaboration here, shot in Sydney.

We kicked off the day with THE most delicious acai bowls from one of my favourite cafe's along Abbot Kinney, before strolling along Venice Beach, to soak up the last of LA's summer rays.

One of the best things about travel for me is catching up with friends, new and old, sharing new

experiences, and of course creating memories in new and exciting locations.

A great day spent - here is part one of our impromptu California shoot.

WITH LOVE FROM NAXOS

Lucky Pig dress, Fiel Sol cuff, Bahagia ring, Zara sandals

The Greek Islands - one of my favourite places on earth. 

I'd visited Santorini before (where I write you now), but this trip was my first visit to the islands of Mykonos and Naxos. 

Next, i'll post all my Greek Island travel tips, but I couldn't wait to share with you this beautiful dress, of local Greek label, Lucky Pig. 

I first came across Lucky Pig, in a great little boutique in Mykonos Town - Sotris. I tried it on, drawn in by the beautiful appliqué and immediately had to have it. 

One of my favourite parts of travelling has to be uncovering beautiful local brands and designers, which upon my return home, remind me of the beautiful memories I've experienced in any particular part of the world. 

My wardrobe is more and more starting to reflect the places I've visited and is a constant reminder of the amazing things I've been fortunate to have seen and people I've met.

LEFT MY HEART IN SANTORINI

Free People dress via SurfStitch, Zara sandals, Mac Morange lipstick, Vanessa Mooney rings 

Free People have always been a favourite brand of mine, nailing boho hippy chic each and every time. 

While enjoying the beautiful Santorini sunshine, (you can check out my holiday snaps on instagram), this gorgeous dress arrived from SurfStitch, serving me well for the remainder of my time on the beautiful Greek Island.

Teamed with sandals, and a splash of lippy, took me from day to night with ease in Greece, and I think this fabulous summer dress, will work just as well worn with ankle boots and tights when I hit up NYC in September.

ISLAND LIFE

 

Cameo playsuit, Topshop shades, Zara sandals

There is something to be said about island life and neon. 

This incredible playsuit has come in extremely handy during my time exploring the beautiful islands of Croatia (you can see all my travel pictures and video on instagram @friendinfashion), and I'm sure I'll get even more wear as I venture towards the equally as beautiful Greek islands next.

For now, I'm off to explore more of Dubrovnik before I sadly bid the amazing country of Croatia farewell.

FRENCH RIVIERA

Talulah dress via Style Milk, Lack of Color hat, Claire Aristides bracelet, Zara sandals

The South of France is one of my absolute favourite parts of the world. When I visit, I usually base out of a beach-side apartment in Nice, and then rent a scooter to ride up and down the French Riviera.

The best part about this is you have the freedom to explore all the main spots - Cannes, Monaco, as well as uncovering so many unknown and quite off-the-beaten track beaches and picturesque hot-spots. 

The other day, I was treated to the most crystal clear blue Mediterranean, so I couldn't help but spend the entire day beach-side.
