ABSENCE

“Sun is shining, I’m a rainbow too”

The sun has finally shown its face today after a bout of windy rainy weather here at home. I feel like I’m always talking about the weather on this blog, but it really does determine what I wear from day to day. I’m not one to suffer for fashion – sorry to those diehards out there, I just don’t think it’s necessary. I will always dress appropriately for the weather or the days activities, considering all angles of practicality and how far I can push things and still get through my day comfortably. For example, Isabel Marant Beckett sneakers are comfortable enough to wear while running around after a toddler, despite the invisible heel; and jackets are absolutely fine to wear in warm weather provided you pair them with shorts or sandals (Elle and Hannah-Rose I’m looking at you!).

So of course, since the sun has come out and I live near the beach and I finally have a day to myself, I have donned the very appropriate backless top* and swimwear to bask on the sand for a while. And also i have now posted an inappropriate bum shot on my blog….. Hoorah!

Soon I will tell you about my solution to the 4 seasons in one day outfit dilemmas. See, sometimes talking about the weather isn’t just a boring space filler. It’s all relevant.

*Didn’t I say I had an obsession with backless tops?!

WHITE + BRIGHT

1. Trenery linen tee, Sunday Somewhere Chely sunglasses, Sukin Organics rosewater hydrating mist, One Teaspoon Bonitas shorts, Make Your Own Havaianas customised for Alice Liddell
2. Cotton On Body bikini top, Witchery bikini bottoms, Invisible Zinc face and body sunscreen, Towel from Bondi Beach newsagent

It’s going to be another scorcher! We’ve had so many days of opposing weather here in Sydney I’m starting to feel quite confused. After hitting 43 degrees last week, the past two days have seen me slightly rugged up in long silk pants. And now we’re back to 39!

But today is just another chance to make the most of Bondi living – so I thought I’d show you my beach essentials. I’m still obsessed with white on white following on from last summer. It’s just so easy! And I always have a bottle of rosewater spray in my fridge to cool down and moisturise after coming home from the beach. As for swimwear I’ve always been a mix and match kind of girl. Mostly I think because I can never find a matching set that fits quite right – but let’s roll with it being a fashion statement. And remember to always protect yourself from sun damage!!

I hope wherever you are the weather is pleasant (and yes, cold weather is great too – or preferable if you’re like me).

AMENDMENT: I checked the weather again and it’s only going to be 28 today now. Thank goodness!!

TASTE OF SUMMER

Benefit eyebrow kit; Sportsgirl bronzer; Sisley lipstick

As Christmas swiftly approaches we’re getting deeper and deeper into Summer here in Australia, which means balmy nights best accompanied by an ice cold cider with lime and long sticky days best enjoyed with those fruits you wait for all year – like mangoes! Yum!

HAPPY WEEKEND!
