Spearmint

Wearing: Zara pants, Dion Lee top, Ellery sunglasses from Desordre, 3.1 Phillip Lim handbag, Tony Bianco heels, Michael Kors watch.

Another dose of the colour creeping in to my wardrobe but opting for pastel, perhaps channeling my love for 3.1 Phillip Lim SS12. I wouldn't usually pair these together as I'm not a personal fan of 'colour blocking', but the mint pants and spearmint seemed like a perfect, fresh summer match with solid black accessories. Dion Lee manages structure yet flow perfectly every single time with this silk top with harness cut out back, available from Desordre boutique in Paddington.

A little peek into my island life in Bali over new years. Thankfully I managed to take a few snaps in the first 24 hours otherwise I wouldn't of had photos from this trip- that is besides mental visuals of the stunning dusk skies. From beach bumming in Uluwatu, cocktails at Potato Head, window shopping in Seminyak and temples in Ubud it was great finally seeing why so many Australians go there. I understand now the desire to go for a 'by the pool' hotel cheap holiday, but I'm not sure I'll be going back anytime soon. Or at least, will travel differently. It might be the part of me that is used to travelling - backpacking and hostels around Europe, living the cheaper, more exciting and appreciative mode of travel. If I ever get back to Bali, it will be to explore the mountains and amazing islands with a backpack and disposable camera.
