For Love and Lemons Debut Swim Collection

LA Label, For Love and Lemons has become a fashion favourite in recent years, for both their romantic party dresses and delicate feminine intimates… Now, For Love and Lemons are taking their label to the next level with the launch of their very first resort swimwear collection.

Featuring a bohemian aesthetic, the swim range is beautiful and completely unique; Think delicate lace, scolloped edges, lace-ups and exclusive prints. Each detail delivered in functional, waterproof (tiny) bikini separates and retro style one-pieces. The collection also offers vintage-inspired crotchet cover-ups. Perfectly thrown over sun-kissed skin and their beautiful swimwear.

My favourite pieces from the collection include;
The Valencia Bikini Top and Valencia Bottoms Bottoms in Black Lace . Ibiza Bikini Top and Ibiza Bottoms in Black . Monoco One Piece in Black and Nude and the Riveria Crotchet Cover Up in White. The For Love and Lemons swim collection is available online now by clicking here.

The Fifth Label Workshop

I like to keep my look simple at the best of times, but especially in summer. Investing in pieces which are easily thrown on in-between running errands and spending hours in the sunshine and salty air. Black is a staple in my wardrobe, but when the temperatures rise, I’ll always try to add a little colour and some light-weight denim. Avoiding items which need to be teamed with heels, and always turning to flats.

This is why I have fallen in love with the new collection, Workshop from The Fifth Label. Designed for comfort and created for style, the range includes oversized fits, loose silhouettes, easy leisurewear and soft fabrics. Perfect for the Australian summer. Key pieces include cowl back dresses and camisoles, contrast denim shifts and exaggerated peplum pieces. All created in a monochrome colour palette, plenty of navy and two exclusive bohemian prints.

Style notes : During the day, team pieces with salt-dried hair, slip on sandals, fine gold jewellery and a bikini. For those hot summer nights, add a touch of mascara, tan leather sandals and an evening bag.

Must-have pieces from the Workshop collection include; The Age Of Aquarius Dress in Black . Age Of Aquarius Pants in Black and the Radio Edit Top in Circular Print with matching Radio Edit Culottes. To view additional items from the collection and shop for yourself visit the Fashion Bunker here.

Keepsake The Label Partition

Just when you thought summer couldn’t get any better, Keepsake The Label have released their first collection for 2016. Titled Partition, the super feminine range consists of beautifully constructed pieces. Each with a relaxed, easy to wear aesthetic. Simplicity reigns and each item is executed with just the right shape, form and detail; including delicate pleats, laser cut tassel trims, flared hems and unique floral prints. Key styles include mix and match sets and fit and flare tops, dresses and skirts. Free, easy and somewhat angelic, they’re the kind wardrobe staples that will stay fresh all summer long.

My favourite pieces from the collection include; The Vertigo Mini Dress in Dark Navy . Vertigo Top in Black . Vertigo Dress in Shadow Floral Navy . Sun Up Dress in Black . Sun Up Mini Dress in Black and Breathless Maxi Dress in Black (which is not yet available to buy). There is no denying that this new collection from Keepsake is my personal favourite to date. My actual wish list is also much longer than what I have just shared with you, but some of the other pieces are not yet available to purchase online. I will be sure to add to a post in the next few weeks when I see them pop up! In the mean time you can shop the current online collection at the Fashion Bunker by clicking here.
