LEFT MY HEART IN SANTORINI

Free People dress via SurfStitch, Zara sandals, Mac Morange lipstick, Vanessa Mooney rings 

Free People have always been a favourite brand of mine, nailing boho hippy chic each and every time. 

While enjoying the beautiful Santorini sunshine, (you can check out my holiday snaps on instagram), this gorgeous dress arrived from SurfStitch, serving me well for the remainder of my time on the beautiful Greek Island.

Teamed with sandals, and a splash of lippy, took me from day to night with ease in Greece, and I think this fabulous summer dress, will work just as well worn with ankle boots and tights when I hit up NYC in September.

WITH LOVE FROM NAXOS

Lucky Pig dress, Fiel Sol cuff, Bahagia ring, Zara sandals

The Greek Islands - one of my favourite places on earth. 

I'd visited Santorini before (where I write you now), but this trip was my first visit to the islands of Mykonos and Naxos. 

Next, i'll post all my Greek Island travel tips, but I couldn't wait to share with you this beautiful dress, of local Greek label, Lucky Pig. 

I first came across Lucky Pig, in a great little boutique in Mykonos Town - Sotris. I tried it on, drawn in by the beautiful appliqué and immediately had to have it. 

One of my favourite parts of travelling has to be uncovering beautiful local brands and designers, which upon my return home, remind me of the beautiful memories I've experienced in any particular part of the world. 

My wardrobe is more and more starting to reflect the places I've visited and is a constant reminder of the amazing things I've been fortunate to have seen and people I've met.

ISLAND LIFE

 

Cameo playsuit, Topshop shades, Zara sandals

There is something to be said about island life and neon. 

This incredible playsuit has come in extremely handy during my time exploring the beautiful islands of Croatia (you can see all my travel pictures and video on instagram @friendinfashion), and I'm sure I'll get even more wear as I venture towards the equally as beautiful Greek islands next.

For now, I'm off to explore more of Dubrovnik before I sadly bid the amazing country of Croatia farewell.

FRENCH RIVIERA

Talulah dress via Style Milk, Lack of Color hat, Claire Aristides bracelet, Zara sandals

The South of France is one of my absolute favourite parts of the world. When I visit, I usually base out of a beach-side apartment in Nice, and then rent a scooter to ride up and down the French Riviera.

The best part about this is you have the freedom to explore all the main spots - Cannes, Monaco, as well as uncovering so many unknown and quite off-the-beaten track beaches and picturesque hot-spots. 

The other day, I was treated to the most crystal clear blue Mediterranean, so I couldn't help but spend the entire day beach-side.

ASOS HOLIDAY STYLE CHALLENGE

When I was in London, I had the opportunity of teaming up with ASOS and ASOS Fashion Finder to style my key holiday pieces for the season. 

I was given five pieces - a swimsuit, maxi dress, bolero, pinafore and backpack and then left to style my own key holiday looks. I love each of the looks but have to say the monochrome pinafore has to be my favourite outfit - which one is yours?

You can also check out the behind the scenes video of my ASOS shoot HERE. 

I'm now in off exploring the South of France as part of a six month travel junket around the world.

ASOS BEHIND THE SCENES

As mentioned in my last blog post (here), my quick visit to London saw me team up with the ASOS Fashion Finder team and take up their blogger style challenge.

Here is a fun behind the scenes sneak peek at my key ASOS holiday pieces.

I had such a great time styling and shooting with the team - hope you love the video as much as I do.

TRAVEL DIARY | SEASIDE

Naven dress / Peachy sandals

It isn't every day you get the opportunity to play tourist in your own backyard. 

Most chances I get to travel, I pack my bags and head abroad, but this summer, I decided to explore more of my own country. 

Followers of Friend in Fashion on  instagram (@friendinfashion), facebook and twitter, for the last few weeks would have followed my road-trip adventure from Melbourne, all the way up north to Australia's Sunshine Coast. A total of around 3,000 kms (close to 2,000 miles). 

I had an amazing time exploring beautiful beaches, and hidden local gems, like Hyams Beach on NSW's Central Coast and The Bridge Seafood in Mooloolaba.

The first instalment of my travel pictures, were snapped at one of my favourite stops along the way, Merimbula on the South Coast of NSW. 

Sun, surf and sand. Nothing quite like a summer road-trip.

HOUNDSTOOTH

Manning Cartell houndstooth shorts / White Suede tank / Arm cuffs via Back Stage

As soon as I laid eyes on these incredible houndstooth shorts, I had to have them!

Manning Cartell has to be one of my favourite Australian labels, always feminine and always the right balance of on-trend pieces and classic wardrobe must-haves.

After NYE celebrations, lined up for tomorrow evening (you can check out my party outfit HERE), I'm off again on another road-trip of Australia, driving from Melbourne, all the way up North, to the Sunshine Coast.

Beaches, sunshine, and great adventures - bring it on!

Happy new year to all of my beautiful readers.

BLACK & WHITE

Black: Keepsake dress & Shakuhachi belt via zoie.com.au / White: Shakuhachi floral lace dress zoie.com.au 

Following on from my last blog post (HERE), I thought I'd share the second instalment of the lookbook shoot, I styled and modelled for ZOIE'S summer '13 collection.

Nothing beats the little black dress as a must-have wardrobe addition and this Keepsake dress, with sheer detailing and exposed back is the perfect balance of elegance, and fun.

Equally as important in my wardrobe is the perfect little white dress, so I couldn't help but pick out this pretty Shakuhachi floral shift dress to contrast with the black.
