Summer has been a little strange weather wise!!

It has been the summer of shorts for me, but I have seized a couple of chances to be more dressed up.

Pic 1. Blue berry picking on one of the best days - it was very warm. New denim shorts, an old Gap tee (three years old) plus my floppiest of hats and most casual of jandals.

Pic 2. Road trip photo!!

Pics 3. Working and getting a hair cut. I seized the chance to wear this new summer dress (seen before in November going to a races party). I swapped out the blush belt for this black one, and wore my new summer sandals. I just got a gentle trim for the hair, but it looks so much better. I am growing out the length a little at the back but keeping it in a "short" style.

Pic 4-5 On Friday I was off to a BBQ/grill party with friends. I have worn variations of this look a fair bit over spring and summer. It is one of my more boho looks - with beaded slide sandals and a long skirt. The ink blue and cream colours make it less so to my mind. This summer all our functions have been casual/smart casual so I have had very little chance to dress up. Please excuse the chairs on the table, my 14 year old was vacuuming in the background!!

Pics 6-8. I have added a couple of bonus pictures from our recent trip to the Hawkes Bay- a beautiful spot up Te Mata Peak and Ocean Beach (actually closed this day due to dangerous swimming conditions).
