Route 77












A bit of rock and roll inspiration never goes astray, especially when it comes from the King.

This Chip Chop dress is a direct reference to the idol of my grandparents youth and is definitely infused with some of that rock attitude. Shaped as an oversized tank dress, I tied it on the side and decided to team it with my favourite worn-out Jeffrey Campbell boots and my floppy hat, to channel some easy going summer vibes. It's the kinda dress that is equally perfect for a day at the beach and a chill sesh with friends.

On another note, this shoot also inspired me to bring back out my guitar. It's been a few months, but when your fingers touch the strings, you instantly remember why you love playing. I originally taught myself before eventually getting lessons, and I used to play often, but it's one thing I've let fall by the wayside of late. Practising requires time (ugh how I wish there were more hours in a day) and a certain level of concentration, but it doubles as a really great way to relax and chill. Plus, finally getting a tough sequence of chords is incredibly rewarding - I definitely need to get back into regular practise!

Pineapple Love





Summer isn't summer without some fruit adorned printed shorts. These little pineapple shorts are my faves this season, due mostly to their refreshed take on the typical print. Teaming them with this Zara black mesh tank makes for the perfect outfit for escaping the heat. They are on sale now at Chip Chop, so head over there to grab a bargain!

These photos were taken on a typical Saturday for me - coffee in hand, traipsing around the inner city. Gnome Expresso was the source of this large skinny flat white (my caffeine of choice) and I was also lucky enough to pick up these shiny flatforms half price at a little boutique on Crown St. I love how they add a little something extra to my outfit,  plus their height is super comfy. 

Happy Australia Day Weekend!
