Poolside Comfy

The last few weeks have been a little crazy with starting a new job and finding time to keep my blog updated. For me, blogging is like having a second career and find myself spending the weekends photographing and planning what to style for the coming week. I’m lucky enough to work in fashion, so can squeeze in a cheeky flat lay at my job! When you’re passionate about something, you don’t mind spending time on it and to be honest blogging means I can catch up with my friend Andrea to talk fashion and hit up any new brunch places! It’s important to have down time too and love having a few hours on the weekend to chill out and do absolutely nothing! 

Andrea has a lovely pool at her apartment and although it’s not warm enough, it’s still nice to relax and catch up on what each other has been up to over a cup of tea and a couple of magazines. For me, beaches and pools are not seasonal. If you are dressed appropriately, they can be enjoyed in the winter months. This Country Road jumper is so warm you wouldn’t even think it’s winter. Obviously being a Brit open toe shoes are standard and work well with this look. They are relaxed, comfy and effortless. I think next weekend I want to try Bondi beach in a chunky knit, Messina Gelato in hand, and a cosy blanket watching the sun go down. Sounds like a plan! Would love suggestions on new places to check out in Sydney!
