Zara Top and Pants / Vintage Jacket, Belt, Bracelet and Bag One of the things I love most about vintage is the entertaining comments you receive when wearing something that isn't deemed mainstream. This pale pink jacket has to be one of my favourites finds and after nearly six years together I still can't bare to part with it. Strangely enough I've only ever worn it twice before, and on both occasions had complete strangers strike up a conversation about how it reminded them of Marge Simpson. I can only hope you will all know the reference I'm talking about (Marge's Chanel Suit she keeps changing to make it look different) and hope I'm not the only one who finds it amazing. Sadly this isn't Chanel, but seeing as my daily life somehow always comes back to a Simpson's reference or quote I'm more than happy to bring this little Marge Simpson number to life by adding my own simple and modern twist. Vintage always keeps life interesting.

Amber and Thomas Bikini / Shona JoyShirt Dress / George Jensen x Red Cross Bracelet / Ray Ban Aviators Is it just me or is finding nice clothes to wear at the beach or poolside a lot harder than you thought? I often steer clear of denim shorts and singlets but living so close to the beach makes it hard to find pieces I can just throw over my bikini when I'm running out the door. So when I found this maxi shirt dress by Shona Joy I couldn't stop layering it over all of my beach attire, nor could I stop twirling beside the pool in it too. Perfect to wear buttoned up as a light, summery maxi dress or unbuttoned as a cool addition to throw over your beach-side bikini. The thigh high splits also make you feel sexier than you should when you're sitting alone by the pool... which is something I seem to be doing a lot of lately (sitting by the pool, that is. Can't say that I ever feel sexy) as I'm officially stuck in holiday mode. It's the summer that I never want to end.

This is just a sneak peek so head over to Harper's Bazaar Style Network to see my latest post HERE.
