The Cat - I have quite a few items with stars as a motif, so it was fun to find a pair of earrings with stars to add to the collection.
Suntiger - I enjoy purple and green as a colour combination, although I find the softer shades of both colours work best on me.
ChristelJ - I find accessories to be particularly important in summer, because dressing for the heat can be boring.
Tanya - as soon as I saw today's post I thought of you!
KKards - I was so lucky to find the bag in a local consignment store as only one or two stores in my city stock these bags and generally in conservative colours.
UmmLila - my Bao Bao bags get used often, they seem to work with most styles despite their architectural shapes.
Slim Cat - my city gets so much summer weather that at times it feels endless. Even my winters are so mild that I can wear this skirt with a sweater and boots in the winter and be fine.
Cardiff Girl - yes, at these times of the year it is very apparent on the forum that we are in different hemispheres. I love summer weather and the holiday vibe in my city in January. Schools are still on holiday, and everyone is a bit more laid back and relaxed after the Christmas and New Year summer break.
Jonesy - I love ikat prints too!
Nikki - it is funny how those little details can really help make a look, the tassel is beautifully constructed (in small woven beads).
Ophelia - We have good summer clothing in Australia because it is our dominant season.
Sal - in the height of summer I rely on wearing cool cotton dresses and skirts.
Brooklyn - you inspired the purchase of this skirt. It has been a winner too, as I wear it year-round!
Jaime - I am humbled, the matcha drink was amazing!
Carla - the sandals are fun and super comfy. I am always on the lookout for good flat summer sandals as they wear out too quickly with me wearing them every day for months on end.
