On My Radar: Mara and Mine Inez sandal, Bondi Born Harley One Piece and Lack of Colour Ventura hat

21st January, 2022

There are often plenty of things that end up on my radar every month, but this month, I’ve been thinking about these three buys a lot. I’m still enjoying shopping for summery pieces and these pieces will definitely work with so many existing pieces in my wardrobe, but help tie many looks together. I always love things that have an interesting finishing detail or just the right silhouette, and this trio definitely ticks both boxes. Here’s what’s top of mind this month when it comes to my shopping list.

 

Mara and Mine Inez Sandal – Lime, $350

I’m gravitating towards colourful accessories of late, and these lime green sandals by Mara and Mine are just the thing to liven up an outfit. The hue just screams summer dressing, while the minimalist design featuring just two delicate straps make it a piece that is quite versatile. The low block heel is also perfect, as it means I could wear these sandals both in a casual and dressy situation, and with everything from pants to dresses, jeans and shorts.

 

Bondi Born Harley One Piece – Black, $295

You’ll find most of my swimsuit collection during summer comprises of one pieces, and there’s no better addition to that repertoire than a great black maillot. This one is super flattering, and I love the ruching and tie neck feature, along with the classic high waist. It’s something I could easily throw on with a pair of shorts to head to the beach, or I could add a wide leg pant and an elegant sandal and head straight from the pool or sand, right to cocktail hour.

Lack of Color Ultra Wide Ventura, $139

Sun protection is a must, particularly in Australia during summer so I’m always on the look out for a great hat. I don’t think you can ever go wrong with a classic straw hat, but the big draw card of this Lack of Color style is that it has an ultra wide brim which provides oodles of sun protection. I spend a lot of time at the beach so I would definitely get plenty of use out of this hat. The frayed edging gives it a relaxed resortwear vibe, while the black ribbon necktie is both practical and stylish.

5 of my favourite things this month

26th November, 2018

There are so many amazing things around right now that it was almost impossible to compile this list. Each month I fall in love with a few things especially hard so instead of keeping it to myself, I thought I’d share in case it’s something that might put a smile on your face too.

Lulu Vintage Wicker dolls pram

As you can imagine my daughters are at the age where they’re heavily into dolls and there’s nothing they love more than looking after them, often role playing the things I do as a mum. A doll pram is something they’ve been really wanting and I couldn’t resist the Lulu Vintage range that I found on a great store called Little French Heart. Not only is it beautifully made, the design is so cute and they come in a range of colours. The dolls in our house have been having a great time in them!

J Bronze fake tan

It’s that time of year again where everyone wants to look sun-kissed. I don’t like baking in the sun so to get a golden glow I’ve been using the J.Bronze fake tan range at home and I’m seriously loving it. It’s really easy to use, comes in a range of shades and is available in a mousse, spray or cream so there’s a type to suit everyone.

We Are Poolside The Ashleigh + Mirror

Natural textures are huge this summer and this raffia bag is a new fave of mine. It’s a great size for carrying around my essentials but not overly big and it comes fully lined with a mirror in the lid which makes for easy makeup touch ups on the run (especially when I’ve just come from the beach). It also ticks a box in that it comes with a strap so I can either carry it or wear it crossbody style which is something I tend to look for when it comes to any bag I own.

Mara and Mine Sagittarius slippers

I always gravitate towards pieces that are able to have a personalised touch especially when it comes to my accessories. This is why I really liked these Sagittarius slippers by Mara and Mine. They’re a great shape and I liked the subtle embroidery, plus I can wear my star sign loud and proud. I think they’d make a particularly great gift.

Statement sleeves

One thing I can’t get enough of this month is statement sleeves. One label doing them really well is Zimmermann. I think they’ve got the balance right between being bold and still being wearable and I’ve found them so easy to pair with several pieces in my wardrobe. If you’re looking for something a little different this party season definitely give this style a go.
