Flares Up Top

All white…..One of my favourite combinations easing into the warmer months. Skin’s a little more sun kissed and 99.9% chance of spilling a Pimms or two on your bright clean threads. All in the name of summer. If there’s one trend I am tempted by, it’s the flares. Whether it be up top or down low this easy breezy style reinvents the 70’s for a fresh approach to clean lines. I adore how the sleeves fall on this top, and it’s the main reason I have decided to style the chunky knit off my shoulders for a relaxed vibe. A pencil skirt has filtered back into my spring wardrobe, especially with oversized pieces on top. The ivory denim with front and back slits is sexy, but casual. It’s  a relaxed tailored piece that will take you from office to bar or even for a brunch date with a good quality white t-shirt on weekends.

There’s something beautiful about shooting on a Sunday morning. I’ve been enjoying utilising early starts with my good friend Laurie, and we’ve been drawn North Shore for a lot of our collaborations this month. The streets are calmer than in the city, and it gives us a good chance to get the best possible shots taking our time to see what works best in terms of angles and styling. We’ve been working with a soft breeze those last couple of weeks, which means the added layer doesn’t go a miss. A chunky cardigan adds the extra fabric I love, plus keeping warm from the chill that is still with us pre 8am in Sydney. 

Platforms: The balls of my feet thank me for these shoes! The wooden tan heel is slowly helping me transition into the warmer tones, whilst keeping that 70’s vibe running throughout. Matching my handbag to my shoes which is rule 101 for my S/S 15 wardrobe.

I am slightly obsessed with sandstone at the moment and you are probably aware of that if you follow my Instagram page. I can’t get enough of this beige earthy tone, and I’m preparing my Insta page for more tan pieces coming into the warmer months. Chloe, you stole my heart this season! All I need now is a Faye bag topped off with suede to make my wardrobe complete!

Folk Flare

As you have probably seen on Boho Behind The Lens, I recently visited Paperbark Camp in Jervis Bay. located in the bush, it seemed the perfect spot to rock some heavy duty denim flares and a boho take on an Akubra. Coins on the brim for an added touch. There were so many cool spots to take the shots, I couldn’t settle for just one! These Mavi jeans are the kind of comfort you feel after years of wear. They have a good amount of stretch and are high waisted, which make me feel a little taller than I am! For me, Country Road are killing it in the knitwear department this season (I actually have another post featuring their knits coming next week!). Sticking to my roots with the neutrals, this grey pullover is perfect for autumn as it’s quite a delicate knit. I love how it ties at the front to reveal the waistband of the jeans. Looking at the pictures now, I wish I had a cool black leather belt to pair them. It’s on the shopping list! Tan boots are a new thing for me. My line up of footwear at the base of my bed = an all black love affair, so it’s nice to introduce a new colour into my wardrobe. And tan always looks good with denim.

One thing that really appeals to me with this outfit post is the lighting. If you follow me on Instagram, you are probably aware that I am a sucker for shadows at the moment and playing with light. And I want to incorporate this more into my style posts this autumn. The trees at the resort played fair and let just enough speckled light to shine through. And the reflection on the wooden beams meant it was love at first sight when it came to location. When it comes to hair, I am still getting used to the bob, but thankfully my hairdresser Paul has taught me how to style a vintage wave with a curling wand. It adds volume and bounce and it’s nice to mix things up a little! I just want to say amazing job to my bf who took these shots for me and it was his first time! 10/10 for positive directing and making the day so much fun. 

Stay tuned for my second outfit post coming soon! Enjoy your weekend folks!
