Bear hug.

Ever since I can remember, I've loved shapeless dresses. Yes, they come with mixed reviews, but I find them so mysterious and fun.

I went to Monk House Design because I saw this dress on their Instagram and when I tried it on, I knew it was for me. The awkward length, colour and teddy bear feel all just felt so right.

I have a new found love for winter sun. And being in said sunshine with my amazing friends.

These photos were taken in Fitzroy Nursery on Brunswick St after an amazing raw falafel rap from Vegiebar. Don't get too excited, it was a special.

That delicious Spanish sun.

Walking back to our hotel along the marina in Barcelona after dining at 7 Portes. I had my very first paella and loved every mouthful.

Barcelona is a magical city. The weather, the lifestyle, the vibrancy and most of all the art.

Looking at these photos now I am yearning for the heat and the sun on my skin.

White out.

I have fallen head over heels in love with this Samantha Wills set of jewellery! Especially now as I am getting a tan over here in Europe (I am in Berlin as I am posting this and it is so ridiculously hot!) everything white looks that much better.

Beauty note: I always encourage to be sun smart. I have been wearing spf 50 every day here on my face, arms and back.

Wildling.

Something about the other side of the wall just gets me, maybe it's the suspense of it being calm, yet feeling scared of what may come. I've been watching a lot of Game of Thrones, like staying up way past my bedtime just to get another episode in. I am so excited for this season and I am so excited that my vest resembles something worn by a wildling. The colours, the icy feel, the gold. I just love this outfit! Summer meets winter, dressy meets effortless.

Samantha Wills at Boxt jewellery.

Almost a year ago I reviewed Boxt Jewellery for Samantha Wills and by doing this I met Lorna and we hit it off right away. She is such a sweet lady and I now always pay Boxt a visit when I want to buy a Samantha Wills piece and I usually stay in there for so long chatting about jewellery, shopping and travel. They have a huge range and if they don't have it in stock, Lorna will do her best to somehow get it to you. She is amazing and I'm very grateful to have met her.

In saying this, Lorna and team Boxt along with team SW put on an amazing night for Samantha's visit to meet and greet fellow SW lovers and expected no less! There was a statue street artist, cupcakes, champagne and a whimsical garden party theme with Samantha Wills jewels among moss and blooms, along with the infamous couture pieces.

Thank you to some of my followers who said hello! It was lovely to meet you.

Bowerbird.

 I had the pleasure of attending Samantha Wills The Bowerbird Collective launch at fortyfivedownstairs. The venue was light and bright white with a raw, natural feel. We got to snack on savoury beetroot and goat cheese macarons and mingle with a room full of people that all love and are passionate about jewellery.

Turqouise, mustard, black, white and mixed metals. I fell in love with so many pieces and was lusting over the numerous bib like statement necklaces and fresh bohemian bardot colours! There are a lot of new stones and colours, like jade and jungle. Everything is just to die!!

The collection is made to layer and I am so inspred to build up my collection to flit around Europe in.

Samantha, who I have utmost respect for as a designer is such a warm person and openly invites you into her world, whether it be at events like this or social media. When you buy a piece you know it's been thought of and designed with love and the passion flows from the piece to you.
