The Last Days of Summer
It's sad to think that time really does fly when it is the warmer months. Summer always feels like a blur, whereas Winter seems to drag on forever! Sometimes, it's not until we stop and look back and reflect that we can truly appreciate some good times that were had with the warmth of the sun on your back. With officially only 3 days left of Summer here in Melbourne (although today is a taste of what's to come with grey skies and rain- post heat wave)I thought I would share with you some images of what Summer was for me and hope it gets you thinking about your fun times.
Discovering my favourite thing- spots- on the ground while on a beach trip! Can't beat those two colours together as well!
This Summer I kept finding things on the ground in front of me, like little presents the pavement is trying to give me. This gorgeous flower came on a day I needed an uplift, so it was much appreciated.
On a night walk, I also discovered these discarded thongs on the footpath- the absolute symbol of Summer. I wonder why the wearer chose to go on without them?
This Summer I enjoyed playing with accessories and mixing things up a little. That included my vast nail polish collection, because sometimes the choice on which colour you wish to stare at for at least a week is hard enough- so, why not just add them all!
Rediscovering shoes you bought in the Winter and haven't worn yet,the joy of shopping in your own closet!
Afternoon pick me ups- fresh home made smoothies with striped straws!
Home made berry ice-cream without the guilt you are eating additives. And gluten free! So delicious!
Lazy Sunday brunches of home made pancakes to indulge in with the Sunday papers and fresh coffee, while not having to rush off anywhere on a schedule.
Seeing everything in full bloom, full colour and enjoying watching nature do its thing.
Walks and swims at the beach, breathing in sea air, eating seafood meals and watching the cruise ships roll into town pretending you're in an episode of The Love Boat.
Sensational sunsets that are unimaginable especially after a humid storm.
Learning to find happiness in the smallest things in life.
Enjoying the late afternoon sun before daylight savings disappears.
Discovering an Autumn leaf in front of you, realising that all things must change, including the seasons. And with that...

Steve Madden Launch Party
Last night I had the pleasure of attending the launch of the Steve Madden Bourke Street Mall store in Melbourne. Officially opened late December last year, the three floors of shoe heaven for ladies and gents to peruse right in the heart of the city, needs a bit of time to get through.
I took my trusty fashion sidekick James along, and when he arrived, I of course as I always do, look down to see what shoes he is wearing, and given that the night was all about shoes! To my absolute delight, it thrilled me to see that our fashion brains psychically linked up and we ended up wearing matching shoes, which were the talk of the night! And no- seriously- it was NOT planned!
We mingled up through the three levels, dodging mini hot dogs and cupcakes to the top floor where Ruby Rose was on the decks providing groovy tunes to put you in a shoe shopping mood.(Although seriously, for most women- we don't need to be put in the mood- it comes naturally!) Staff were on hand to help out with sizing and a spinning wheel was at the door for your chance to win a free pair of shoes! A lot of fun!
By the end of the night, we all wanted to hang up our tired shoes and rest our feet and check out our goodie bags! It was a great night, with a special thanks to the gorgeous people from Steve Madden who where warm and welcoming and encouraged a great vibe on the night. I did indeed leave a very happy woman!

What's happening down south James?
I have a rather stylish friend named James whom every time I see him, I always look down at his feet and am in awe as I exclaim, "What's happening down south James?" He responds with the most infectious laugh as I proceed to pull up his pant legs to reveal the delightful, often striped colourful socks teamed up with some rather dapper pairs of shoes!
I started photographing them because I thought that it is fantastic to see someone put so much attention to detail on the last part of their outfit. The shoe and sock combination is a great place to show a bit of personality.
So look out for future posts on what's happening down south!
PS: If you are looking for sock inspiration- check out designer Paul Smith for a great place to start.
