Arriving back to my hotel room to work on my blog after a strenuous day of lounging around the pool and eating gelato is such a tiresome task. Sarcasm aside, dragging myself off the pristine beaches of the Gold Coast and onto my laptop, smacking me immediately back into reality has reminded me of how entirely selfish I’ve been by not blogging about my seriously uneventful but lovely adventures on the coast. Plenty of delicious food has been consumed, numerous sale racks have been emptied and many happy snaps have been taken.
As hinted in the title, I have been basking in the glorious Australian sun (always wearing sunscreen, of course) and managed to tear myself away from my beach towel to capture some scenes.

I saw these bikinis and purchased them 5 minutes later. These 50’s style high-waisted bikinis are incredibly cute and are prone to compliments.
Perfect colour for summer. OPI ‘Tasmanian Devil Made Me Do It’.‘That’s it darling, look into the camera’ A photogenic Rosella I dubbed Larry. Seemed quite content perching there all morning, keeping me company.
I have well and truly come out of my hibernation of monotonous shades of clothing by welcoming Spring with a splash of colour. This season, not unlike every other Spring/Summer, is the season for bright, happy colours and bejewelled and chunky statement necklaces. A little bit of colour goes a long way, so make it a challenge to incorporate bright colours into your outfit – it also has a surprisingly positive psychological effect, take my word for it. It really is the way to go, especially if you’ve been living in the cold area of the southern hemisphere like me where dark shades have been my greatest companions.
Hot colours for the season include red, orange, fluro yellow, pink and orange, electric blue, lime green and plain white.

Otherwise known as hot pants, but I prefer the sound of knicker shorts. During my online shopping travels, I have occasionally stumbled upon this trend which is a cross between underwear and high-waisted shorts. They resemble undies more in my opinion, however they are acceptable to wear out in public. Around summertime, everywhere I look I witness girls wearing short shorts (as do I), but knicker shorts take things one step further as they are butt-hugging and are (astoundingly) shorter than your average short shorts. There is something that yells out ‘I’m easy’ when I see a pair of these little party animals, because I cannot override the image of butt-cheeks hanging out that accompanies the look of the pants. Actually I don’t believe that they should be classified as pants, yet they are becoming more popular to wear during the day and night.
Celebrities such as Rihanna and Jessie J are liking the look and I think that if you’ve got the body for it, go for it. I also think that there is a time and place for these knicker shorts, and I believe that they belong in the costume party/dressing as Lady Gaga category. Personally, I have knickers that are similarly sized as your average knicker shorts so there is no way that I would feel comfortable with walking out of the house in something that barely covers my behind. But everyone is entitled to their own views.
On asos I managed to find a whole range of these little beasts on sale so of course I was super excited. If you’re a fan, get on it.

If you are not committed to the bareness of it all, wearing them with tights or stockings could be a good alternative.
