Beach me baby,



Summer has officially started...
and its time to hit the beach ladies.
So what are you going to wear??....
Dont worry, i have you sorted.  
No need to thank me..lol.=p

Loose tanks-teamed with shorts are great over swimmers, they look relaxed and effortless 
like you just threw them on but still look fabulous. 
(add some simple rope bangles & a long necklace for some great detail.)
Stripes-will never go out of style when it comes to the beach.
( this is when you can add those plastic blue anchors lol)

These next two, i have to admit... i just don't get.
I didn't in the 90's and i certainly don't now.
The Asymmetrical- mid-drift-"whoops-this-is too-big-for-me-"jersey-top.
&&
The "f***-it-i-really-love-this-bra-and-really-who-am-i-kidding?-five-mins-he'll see-it-anyways"-bralet.
If your the type to stay on trend & copy Rhianna...=]
(not a bad thing)

I love denim & shorts- if i was more comfortable with my legs id live in them!
My solution?-

Three Quarters.
Comfy & not showy.

Long sorts...
are always a great option to... by long i don't mean that 5cm away from your...
*cough*...I'm talking just above your knee.


Real shorts.
I feel like i say this all the time but we don't need to see breakfast ladies!
(ripped or textured detail looks great with this basic shape.)


Tailored shorts.
Think Lauren Conrad & Hilary duff.
This is the sort that Audrey Hepburn would wear.
A classy twist on a summer classic.
( i love the colour & the waist detail on these!)


Dresses are a great & very feminine way to show of your style.

Cotton maxi's & Kaftan's...
are fashion's way of being a beach bum
Both are light weight, easy( to wear aswell as accessories), layed back & stylish.

strapless dress or the jersey dress-
Think light weight fabric- no complicated buttons,zippers or straps.

Lace...
is another cute alternative if you don't intent on swimming but just hanging out-
eg shopping at Sydney's Bondi beach
The cut of this dress is also really cute and great for the beach. 


"Well thanks Neysh, but what about my feet?"
Hold your wallets, I'm getting there!! 
hehe

I have three words for you.
  • straps. ("look at me..home boy wore combat boots to the beach!!!"-Lauren Conrad knows what im saying.=p)
  • ease.(slip on, slip off, slip on, slip...you get the picture.)
  • comfort.
Of course we are all not Kim Kardashian and there for can & will not wear
heels to swim at the beach.
I added these to the bunch for 3 reasons.
  • They are hot,
  • to express my "ease" word for you with the zipper.
  • and to give you an option for the just previously mentioned shopping trip.
The small wedge was added as...
it is a great option If your not big on heels,
&&
to demonstrate the gladiator style shoe.

Last but not least the "desert" sandal,
My personally favorite...
Once again- easiest things to wear ever, you might as well not be wearing shoes at all!
these are great for the beach!

Then theres always your trusty favorites... lol

So there you have it....
Summer beach wear at your finger tips...
and you wonder why you follow this blog...pffft. 
Lmafo.
This summer is all about ease.
So we're talking-
wood
cotton
hemp
tye dye
organics

Basically if it's earthy and kinda neutral...go with it.
3oo

I love Christmas 
It is my favorite time of the year...
the food (as shown above =] yum!),the fun & the pressies.
As you can probley tell i go all out for Christmas.
It brings out the diva in me lol.

A must have for Christmas is sequins.
It just makes everything more festive. 
I love this dress its such a great cut!

Team Silver & Crimson for a festive contrast of colour as well as Sequin & Suede.
I love this shoulder bag; a very cute take on a Santa pressie sack.

Add some winged eyeliner,Silver eyeshadow, long lashes, red nail polish
& the perfect "cherry christmas" lips, for a dramatic Christmas look.

For jewallery a dash of red to blanance is all you need.
Don't forget your Santa hat, pressies & Cosmo. 
(we all have that relative we need alcohol to the pain of seeing them every year..)

Sorry i was late on this on too...
I hope you all had a very merry & stylish Christmas!
