 After seeing these photos on Studded Hearts, I couldn't help but repost them.

Miranda Kerr is probably one of my favourite models of all time, perhaps slight jingoism

comes into play, but mostly because her "off-duty" looks are always so spot-on. 

She has the uncanny ability of being able to take the hottest trends and work them into

a casual and very wearable outfit. She's always fun to look at when you need a hit of inspiration.

Perhaps its the ease in which she wears her outfits or those dimples and always polished hair

but honestly, it's most likely a combination of all of the above plus that super cute kid of hers.

 Josh Goot is one of those designers that I always have trouble resisting, as you can see in this previous post. 

He always augments his collections with a variety of tanks & tees in his latest 'print of the season' and because of

my mostly casual style- it's only logical to stock up. I love how much the flower bomb print jumps and instantly 

updates a tried and tested combination of tank & short skirt in the summer. You can never go wrong with

some additional silk into your daily summer outfit.

If given the choice, I would spent my whole summer at the beach in nothing but denim shorts and a variety of

Zimmermann bikinis. But when you're out there having fun, don't forget man's best friend. During 4pm-8pm a large

section of Cronulla's Wanda Beach turns into a no leash dog beach which is an amazing opportunity to take your pets 

out during the sweltering hot summer. My dog, the happy German Shepard you see above, always has the best time 

frolicking in the water with my friend's two Labradors. You always see the cutest and friendliest dogs there which

is the best bonus for a day out at the beach.
