Summer Fashion ft. 2threads and Billabong!

By
Soo 2threads, teamed up with he uber popular Aussie surf brand Billabong, have again come up with another awesome blog initiative, to share what Summer fashion means to me! Inspired by the great weather we've had in recent days in Melbourne, I've compiled a little post here for you guys.





To me, Summer fashion is effortless, and only has two rules you must stick to: be both stylish and comfortable.
The only "must-have" is a great swimming costume and the confidence to pull it off once you hit the sand!

Here are some great picks for the Summer:


Billabong Bliss


Billabong Liv


Billabong Amaze


Billabong Poser


Billabong Amore

Then slip on something that doesn't require buttons, belts, shoelaces or other annoyances that might hinder the strip you must undergo at the beach - a simple sundress, a crop top and skirt, an oversized singlet, or the beach classic - a pair of ripped denim cut-offs and a cute tee. Outfit done and dusted, now to hit the waves!

Beach essentials:
1. A large beach bag that can hold all of your stuff, like this one from Billabong.
2. A beach towel, to sunbathe on AND to dry yourself so that you don't get wet patches on your clothes later on.
3. Sunnies and suncreen and a sunhat
4. Phone
5. Snacks. For those post-swimming hunger pangs. Duh.
6. Sunscreen; nothing worse than turning into a lobster the day after. Be SunSmart at all times :)
7. Camera, I can tell you there will be plenty of Kodak moments!
8. (Optional): Portable speakers and an iPod to pump out some Summer tunes!!







Don't forget to swim between the flags, and remember: beach fashion is about STYLE and COMFORT. Don't compromise!

Though there is only one month left of glorious Summer, it's gong to be a great!

Looks like you had a great day at the beach. Sunscreen is definitely a must for me.. awkward tan lines are not cool.

i feel your pain re 40 degree heat at melb bdo!
love this post, how good is the beach? & totally agree with all your tips.
i saw billabong bliss the other day & am seriously considering purchasing them. i love both the style & the cool colour/print they look so so awesome.
if only i had more money to spend!
& i got a couple of my arm bands from bdo actually, other places include byron bay, & surf shops generally sell quite a few too although they can be a little pricey there.x

GIVEAWAY: The Dark Horse

By

I love designer jewellery . I also love contests and giveaways. Now that tee+fame blog has reached 400 friends on GFC I think it's time to combine the two and give a little something back to my loyal followers! THE DARK HORSE is an online jewellery boutique focusing on selling jewellery from around the globe. The boutique is influenced by the beauty surrounding us, aiming to make unique, niche and international designer pieces attainable. The awesome thing about this store is that it is offering a take home lay-by system , which means you can pay off an item while you wear it! I'm personally crazily obsessed with being able to lay-by stuff, I think it's an awesome invention! The jewellery we wear tells a story of who we are, where we have been or who we want to be. THE DARK HORSE will defs have the right piece of jewellery for you to express who you are :) There are some amazing pieces from some of my favourite jewellery brands, including Low Luv by Erin Was...

Today is my 18th birthday! I've been waiting for this day for SO long; the day I become and adult, and can drive, vote, drink...now I'm 18 and it's time to partay :D Met Emma for breakfast in Yarraville (if you remember, Yarraville is our favourite place to have a feed) at 9:30, so nice and early pretty much. Almost slept in, hence turning up virtually make-up-less (bit of eyeliner), and Emma practically did the same, woo classy :D Had the most amazing meals, at a place called Java Cafe. Egg, spinach, toast, hashbrown; pancakes with maple syrup and strawberries. Heaven heaven heaven!! Military jacket detailsss :) Ohhhh and these photos are taken on...dun dun dun...a new camera that I recieved from my parents! I wasn't expecting anything, so to wake up with a brand new camera was just amazing :) Thanks mummy & daddy! I am wearing: $2 op-shop find black jacket, $12 Deborah K grey military jacket, Giordano tie-dye leggings, Mum's boots, Diva necklace. I have b...

Socks, sequins, PINK!

I've got a job interview on Tuesday, and it's for the store Forever New , which is a really feminine fashion store. I really like some of their stuff atm, I just bought a couple of pieces last week, including the cutest pink pleat skirt. I don't usually wear a lot of pink, but this is a nice dusky pink that isn't TOO girly! Although, to tone down the 'girl' factor I'm wearing a sequinned biker jacket haha. Typical. The skirt I am in luuurve with, and a cute lacey top which I think I spent too money much on... Pretty bangles, ah Forever new has the best jewellery ever :) Forever New skirt, Target sequin biker jacket, black Diana Ferrari shoe, white vintage shoe, random black&white socks I found in my drawer. Awesome shoes/socks right? Okay, also I need you lovely bloggers' help with something: WHICH SHOE/SOCK COMBO DO YOU LIKE BETTER? Please please please tell me, honestly. Just cos I think I might wear this outfit to my job interview. Is the skirt ap...
