Le Photo Diary - Saturday 10th December... Blue Digital Prints

I'm sporting the May Cooper dress for a summer BBQ in sunny Sydney this afternoon. Fingers crossed the sunshine stays & the predicted rain arrives afterwards. The blue digital print is my favourite print this summer - perfect for a day like today.

Introducing Skins Sandals... Comfort without compromising style!

The most comfortable sandal style you will ever wear.

One common thing I have found as a woman is that footwear is often uncomfortable. I don't just mean wearing sky high heels as strangely enough I don't find these uncomfortable at all. I mean sandals and summer flats with embellished details that look beautiful yet are incredibly painful to wear. I have many war wounds aka scars from embellished sandals rubbing and digging into my feet.

I am all for a pair of thongs at the beach however I feel Australian women can step it up a notch now that I have created the 'Skins'. They feel like you are wearing a second skin and are incredibly comfortable. They are made from a lycra material similar to swimsuit material so they are perfect for Spring and Summer seasons.

Trend Alert... Split Sheer Maxi Skirts

Sheer skirt fashion is really a great way to highlight your assets. This trend is becoming more and more popular this season as it is sexy without actually showing much skin at all. This trend has been spotted on celebrities such as the Olsen twins & Blake Lively. The trend is prominent on street style blogs from around the globe and is going to be BIG in Australia this Spring/Summer 2011.

The Blake Maxi Skirt features two high splits to the thigh and mini skirt detail under the sheer maxi skirt. Splits are also big this season and this skirt shows the splits as you walk. The beautiful Blake Skirt flows in the wind as you walk. Pair with a cropped tee to keep on trend this season.
