What I Wore…
To my niece, Isabella’s 9th Birthday party at the Hard Rock Cafe in Surfer’s Paradise…
Inspired by this beautiful sunshine filled day, I decided to embrace the colours which always remind me of delightful Summer… brilliant watermelon and zesty lemon.
I had a busy morning shopping at Marina Mirage; then went for a gorgeous walk along Surfer’s Paradise beach front; before a lovely lunch with family.
I wore my Witchery Watermelon shift dress with my black Prada handbag; Tiffany & Co Sunglasses; Nine West Ballet Flats; and Sussan lemon cardigan. With my baby bump now becoming quite prominent, I have embraced sweet shift dresses in bright colours and dramatic prints…
Hope you are all having a wonderful Weekend! xx
P.S. if you are planning a visit to the Gold Coast, iconic Surfers Paradise beach & Marina Mirage are both a must on the itinerary… xx

Alexa Chung
The quintessential ‘IT’ girl of British cool – Alexa Chung is a
modern-day style icon.
Model, presenter and contributing editor of British Vogue; Alexa Chung has also mastered the disciple of impeccable style.
Synonymous with Brit cool, Chung has been the face of countless advertising campaigns and graced the covers of numerous fashion magazines. Her allure – an unmistakable mix of adorable, quirky, classic, tom-boy meets glamorous preppy. I.E. a style all her own.
This ‘IT girl’ has also been the muse behind an ‘IT bag’ – joining the likes of Jane Birkin, Grace Kelly and Jessica Stam, amongst others; who have each inspired a handbag to be based around their own unique style. The highly coveted Mulberry ‘Alexa’ bag was designed by Emma Hill, after she saw Chung carrying the brand’s ‘Elkington’ bag (which resembles a briefcase) as a handbag.
A front row fixture at Chanel; a muse to iconic labels; and a love of vintage – Chung is an ambassador of dressing to your own unique style…
Who is your most stylish Brit? xx
