Zulu And Zephyr Ranger

Mondays are always the same; Snooze buttons, coffee and scrambling to get to the office in time. And, for the most part, reminiscing about the glorious weekend that was and looking for any reason to escape the daily grind… Well, this may be the perfect place to start.

Photographed in the wild terrain, where animals roam free and the sun beats down, the new collection from Zulu and Zephyr is a mix of multi-tasking, safari-inspired separates, perfect for any chic, sexy getaway. The range includes raw hem linen, clean slip dresses, button down denim as well as the label’s signature swimwear pieces. All created in earth hued tones like khaki, plum, marigold, clay and just a touch of token safari leopard print.

My favourite pieces which are available to purchase online now include; The Terra Firma Over-sized Dress featured in the stripe print above. As well as the Solid Ground Dress in White . Stomping Grounds Dress and Stomping Grounds Shirt and Shorts. To shop the current Zulu And Zephyr Ranger collection, and look out for additional pieces which will be arriving shortly click here. Then, with the promise of a sun-soaked adventure, book that vacation you’ve been in need of for months!

Keepsake The Label Foundations

Keepsake The Label Foundations Keepsake-June-13

Life has been so overrun with work and other things lately that I haven’t had a chance to focus on my blog in weeks. However the chaos is finally clearing and I promise to make more time to properly keep you in the loop. First, with the enchanting new collection from Keepsake The Label. A range consisting of fluid trench coats, flared pants, mini length dresses and off the shoulder styles. I have to admit, some pieces aren’t ideal for the cooler weather. However there really is no better time than the present to begin planning your new spring wardrobe. Especially one which features pretty pastel tones, softly flushed neutrals, navy and black. All imbued with a sense of romance, delicate lace, flowing silks and a deconstructed beauty.

My favourite piece from the collection is the perfect little black dress for the season ahead; The Much More Mini Dress in Black. Featured in the very first and very last image above. I love that this dress is also perfectly teamed with the Be Still Flared Pants for a fresh take on this current trend. You can find the dress and buy it for yourself at the Fashion Bunker by clicking here. Other pieces from this collection that I absolutely love include; The Shake It Up Dress in Navy . Tomorrow Mini Dress in Black . Not To Be Mini Dress in Black . Much More Maxi Dress in Black and the Chain Reaction Trench Coat in Black.

Zimmermann The Winsome One

There comes a time when you are just ready to escape your routine and head for a vacation. We all need to relax, reset and recharge; Ideally somewhere remote and wildly scented in the Mediterranean. Where you can spend your days lazying around and listening to the sound of the ocean. Unfortunately for me, my boyfriend is the one who will be spending the next few weeks between the coastline of Turkey and the Greek Islands. While I will be very jealous and spending my time stuck in a very rainy Sydney. Luckily, I have the gorgeous new Zimmermann collection above to evoke memories of sun-filled days and dreamy sunsets.

A range of their signature styles and timeless shapes. Each piece created in romantic prints, sun-bleached hues and monochrome palettes. With ruffles, scalloped edges, off-the-shoulder sleeves, romantic lace and an effortless, dreamy bohemian spirit. It’s enough for me to get stuck into planning my next holiday and my next holiday wardrobe. With the entire collection perfectly placed on any sun-drenched escape. The Zimmermann The Winsome One collection will be available from September, however you can shop their gorgeous current collection by visiting their website here.

Bobbi Brown Beach Nudes

As winter weather well and truly begins to set in, there is no easier way to hold onto that remaining summer glow and add warmth, tone and life back into your face than with a natural dusting of bronzer. Luckily this month sees the launch of Bobbi Brown Beach Nudes. A collection of three essential make-up items for creating a gorgeous, sun-kissed glow all year-round, in just a few steps.

Bobbi Brown Bronzing Powder. If your anything like me, your skin gets a shade or two lighter in the colder months. For this reason a bronzing powder is the perfect option. I love the new Bobbi Brown Bronzing Powder. A soft matte, silky-smooth bronzer which combines two-tones of red and brown to create a shade that you would find in a natural tan. Instantly warming the skin with a natural looking colour.

Bobbi Brown Sheer Lip Colour. This super lightweight formula glides on smoothly and evenly, delivering a sheer and slightly glossy finish that’s wearable everyday. Formulated with Shea Butter, Murumuru Butter and Apricot Kernel Oils, the subtle colour once applied not only helps warm your completion, but also rejuvenates, nourishes and prevents awful winter chapping.

Bobbi Brown Sunkissed Eye Palette. Nothing kills the illusion of a summer glow like tired eyes. The good news is you’ll find the perfect combination of bronzy nudes, soft pinks and gold shades all in the one eye palette. Each perfect for for brightening eyes. To create a subtle summer glow, simply apply colour to the inner corners of your eye and swept across your eyelids. If you have particularly dark or red eyelids, even out the tone with an application of the Bobbi Brown Intensive Skin Serum Corrector or Concealer prior to applying shadow.

If you want to achieve dewy, healthy-looking complexion you also can’t go past my favourite Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick; And to complete your look apply a coat of the new Eye Opening Mascara to perfectly thicken, curl and lift your lashes. To purchase any products mentioned in this post as well as the new Bobbi Brown Beach Nudes collection, visit the Bobbi Brown website here.
