Seed.


Left to right: New sandals from Windsor Smith, watch, Michael Kors, ring, Numero 3, top, Sunny Girl, shorts, Seed Heritage (sold out).

This has been my go-to summer outfit of late. Whenever the weekend rolls around the the mercury rises above 28 degrees you can bet your bottom dollar that I am wearing this ensamble. Theses Seed Heritage shorts have been my MVP of late; they're light, comfortable, punchy and the most perfect length for shorts on a tall girl. I like them best clashed with the black and white stripe top for something that doesn't make me look like I rolled out of bed and into something sloppy. Simple accessories to add the final touch and I'm ready to venture out to discover something new in my new hometown.

Summer essentials.



To live the life of a beach goddess with a golden tan, perfectly tussled locks and glowing skin you need to have the right equipment. It's important to slip, slop and slap, keep hydrated and seek some shade where possible. You will also need the right products: a good sunscreen, zinc and something for your hair. I have been using the products pictured above almost daily. The Reef sunscreen lotion is powder based so it goes smoothly but doesn't leave you with that greasy feeling other sunscreens usually do. There is nothing worse to set on early aging than sun damage to your face. I have been using BronZinc for years - it goes on nice and thick and the tan colour adds some bonus coverage. Your hair can almost end up forgotten by the time you have looked after your precious skin but after showering I like to put a small amount of leave-in treatment through my hair; this new Schwarzkopf Marrakesh Oil & Coconut works a treat! After the leave in treatment I spray with my trusted Garnier Surf Spray and let my hair dry naturally for the 'I've just come from the beach to the bar' look. To top it all off a day isn't complete without the right accessories: a cute bikini, hat and towel.
