Bondi Bohemian

Christmas and New Years are over for another year, and I’m finally getting back into the swing of things back in Aus. The weather has been beautiful (minus today!) and I’ve been enjoying the sunshine whilst getting my teeth stuck into a big project a work. Being back in Sydney means I get to shoot with my good friend Andrea again. Her street is tree lined and accommodates some gorgeous homes, so seemed a great spot to snap some street style for todays post!

My blog name change is going to play a big part in my style this year. Bohemian vibes on weekends, tailoring for work and the colder months. It seemed fitting to get back to my casual boho style now I’ve settled back in and gotten over some pretty bad jet lag! Off the shoulder is style a big hitter for me this season and especially when going for brunch or coffee. This dress is perfect for those kind of days. Loose fitting and basic. So basic that I chose to style with a felt fedora and super cute heart sunnies that I borrowed off Andrea (Secretly hoping she sells them to me at our market stall soon!). Late afternoon shooting seems to be the only option with the sun being so strong this time of year, which is good because it leaves the morning free to grab a coffee or hit up a new breakfast place that I’ve yet to dine at.

To everyone in colder climates…..I promise this summery post is not to make you jealous of the Sydney summer. It’s purely to cure your January blues and make you excited to book your summer holidays! Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

A Day At The Markets

When Saturday comes around, there’s nothing better than hitting up Glebe markets with the girls. It’s definitely the best for a good bargain and have never left empty handed! This week I was lucky enough to get brand new One Teaspoon denim shorts for just $30! I’ve wanted a pair for a while so was thrilled to score them in time for the summer. It was so fun catching up with my blogging buddies Alisha and Jo. The market was bustling, and at 10am it was already heating up for a scorching day. Coming into summer, I think it’s important to wear a hat to protect myself from the sun, so you might see a few too many posts with a fedora to come. 

I am in love with this Faithfull The Brand dress. I literally discovered the brand on Instagram. If you love off the shoulder and pinstripes with a bohemian twist, this is the label for you. Their new collection is literally to die for, and can’t get enough of it. Currently they have the best white top with black pinstripes that bares shoulders. So nice with a pair of denim cut offs and casual Birkenstocks for the warmer days that will be gracing Sydney. Last week I had my hair lightened and I'm thrilled with the results. I've gone a shade lighter in my Ombre. After an amazing treatment, my hair felt super soft. If you are looking for a new hairdresser in Sydney hit up Paul Anthony based in Potts Point. His work is amazing and his attention to detail is spot on!

It’s exactly one year since I launched the blog, and as of next week I’ll be refreshing it a little with a new name! It won’t be all that different, but felt with the change of habitat and a slight change in style it seemed appropriate. Thanks again for all your support on both here and on my Instagram page (bohochic_nlt) It really menas a lot to me and makes the evening blog sessions straight from work really worth it. I’ve also met the best people since first launching and can’t wait to meet more creative fashionistas in the months to come.

Hope you have all had a great weekend, and a chilled Sunday night!
