What a wonderful Easter weekend it was! I spent Easter Sunday soaking up the sun amongst the rock pools of Pearl Beach on the Central Coast of Australia. I hope everyone else had as much fun as I did exploring the beach and sandstone cliffs with my family (and eating too much chocolate - Phew, time to put those joggers on!)
Inspired by the cool, blue shades of the seaside, I thought it was appropriate to
head to the beach wearing my baby blue blouse from United Colours of Benetton. This lightweight, frilled blouse is perfect for a sunny Autumn day, either buttoned at the wrists for a traditional 'boyfriend' look, or rolled to the elbow to create comfy three-quarter sleeves - a more casual look that I prefer to wear.
And the 'Panama Harriet' hat is back! Yes, as you have probably noticed from my previous post, I love this little black hat to death. It can turn a dull, plain outfit into the epitome of style. (It took my greatest efforts however, to battle against the sea winds and keep it on my head throughout the day. I came far too close to losing it in the waves - Talk about tragedy!)
Another of my favourites are these Le Specs 'Cat Eye' sunglasses. Their feminine shape is slightly retro but also super chic and glamorous AND they take sun safety into consideration (so you can feel responsible while wearing them). They suit just about any face shape, and I know we all sacrifice comfort for fashion, but with these babies you don't have to. They're nice and comfy, unlike some other sunglasses which can cut into the ridge of your nose and leave you with awful red lines.
#1 sunnies of the year in my book!
Another post coming soon involving faux fur and "all white everything". Stay tuned for an ultra glamorous, chic look that breaks all the rules of white on white (ooh, anyone feeling rebellious?) You can follow me on Instagram at TheCrystalCollar for fast-tracked photo posts and more insights into my interpretations of style.
Remember to always wear that lovely smile no matter where you're headed today!
