LIGHT FANTASTIC
This summer we’re going on a road trip. Beach or countryside, take your pick. Road tripping wearing Zara, of course. Loose, fine crop tops, flowing dresses and bikinis are the sights of summer. It’s totally idyllic out here, in dappled sunlight. The Zara girl is in her element, basking in all the warming

thomas sabo earrings, $199
Thomas Sabo is giving us choices. This season it’s about a thrilling fantasy of wanderlust, a love story and inner strength. Personalisation is key with the Together sterlingsilver and 9-karat rose-gold pieces, showing a little love. In celebration of 10 years, classics have been reinterpreted with skulls and cross designs, so gothic and glamorous, while the Victorian era is evoked in the Royalty range. We do love to feel regal. There’s a strong frequency flowing through the collections, the Power necklaces and bracelets exuding energy, inspired by Buddhist prayer beads. Along with the Mini Chakras that represent the physical energy of Hinduism, this collection is high on dynamism. Something for everyone. Thomas Sabo has the power.
HEAT WAVE
On our way to Cuba, that’s where we’re headed. In our dreams… Instead, Morrison is bringing Cuba to us. Their latest campaign was shot there and has all the Havana vibes we need to inspire us for the season. The perfect wardrobe for hot nights, done and dusted. Filmy, elegant dresses to dine in, light knits for those nights on the beach. Morrison has it sorted. As Sandy would say, “Summer days, driftin’ away to those summer nights.”

caMILLA AND MARC DRESS, $699, from David Jones
Transfiguration and transformation. No, this is not Harry Potter, this is Camilla and Marc. Taking Fiona Banner’s 2010 installation Harriet and Jaguar at Tate Modern, London, as a starting point, Camilla and Marc have created a collection filled with juxtapositions: the meeting of rigid uniformity and fluid, flowing textures. Shapes are strong and structured for the woman in power. Take this dress, for example. Delicate dentelle lace with intricate embroidery, plus panel lines that exaggerate the silhouette. So sweet, sensual and feminine.

MICHAEL KORS SUNGLASSES, $249, FROM SUNGLASS HUT
Hands down, the most necessary accessory for the season? A great pair of sunglasses. Michael Kors’s reflective round frames are turning up the heat right now. It’s the shape for a super-cool summer of love.
THE NEW CLASSIC
Bec + Bridge are feeling art deco on the eve of 15 years in the biz. Fritzy Ritz is the name of their new collection. Fritzy is the muse, the dream flapper girl, dancing around to jazz music, feeling free. With the Roaring Twenties and all its decadence and luxury in her mind’s eye, Bec + Bridge’s flapper girl meets 2017 in liquid satins, art deco-inspired florals and modern fitted denim. She knows what she wants. Their gal always looks good.

Another crucial part of your summer wardrobe? A pair of denim shorts, of course. They need to sit right, feel right and look fabulous. Cotton On are making life easier for us with endless options: ripped, high-waisted, faded, coloured. Pick a pair, any pair. We especially love embellishments and embroideries, intricately stitched onto the denim. Or we’ll just stick with classic ripped denim. You can’t go wrong. Simple and straightforward. Just how we like it. 4

Long gone are the winter blues – we’re showing off a vibrant energy with a colourful wardrobe for warmer days. Tommy Hilfiger knows how to pump up an outfit with bold tones. Whether it’s a T-shirt to throw on or a structured crew neck, these classic pieces are workhorses.
There will be smiles all round this season – kidswear is fully tapping into a free vibe. It’s about clothes that complement innocence and a carefree nature. Loose T-shirts and jeans. Anywhere, anytime. Who wants to get overdressed anyway? The ultimate kid combo. Zara kids is where it’s at.

SO SNEAKY!
Calling all kids: we’re on going on a mission this holiday. There’s many a treehouse to be built, many parks to play at. And so sneakers need to be super-sporty and sleek. Well, that’s what the kids want. Trust us.

Beach waves got a softer, more romantic rework on the runways, and nowhere made it cooler than Dior, where master Guido Palau pulled off the look with just two Redken styling products. Want in? Divide hair into eight big sections, spray texturiser from root to tip, then twist and clip into random rolls with a tissue. Clamp each with a hot iron for a few seconds, let set for 20 minutes, then release the rolls. Brush lightly and mist with flexible hairspray. Beret optional.

Soaking skin with dewy hydration, then leaving bronze behind, “masking makes the colour incredibly natural and smooth so it lasts”, says St Tropez tanning expert Michael Brown. “Leave on for 5-15 minutes to customise depth. I massage excess into the hairline, ears and jawline and it’s completely seamless.”

DO THE WHITE THING
No need to splurge on that expensive plane ticket for a European holiday. Get the look of the continent’s summer hot spots by punctuating your decor with white soft goods. Try a throw on the sofa or an elegant cushion on the bench of your sunny breakfast nook.

From beach sand to postsweaty-workout showers, your towels face it all in the summer. After a few weeks of relentless use, it can seem like these mainstays of your linen closet will never recover. You owe it to your terry to keep it in top shape and smelling like new with a dedicated wash.
SPICE
GoGo’s Masala Craft
Get everything from spices to full meals at GoGo’s Masala Craft. They have a bounty of kebabs on offer that are prepped and ready to cook at picnic-area barbecues. Try a beautifully seasoned chicken tikka kebab ($3 each), or a shami kebab ($2.50 each) – a mince-based patty that’s a popular snack in India.

BURNING DESIRE
BUZZ FEED
When temperatures rise, morning-coffee orders cool down. Your kitchen’s probably too small for a Synesso, but Nespresso’s new Essenza Mini means that even those with the most compact counter space will have room to brew an excellent shot of espresso for a cafe-worthy iced latte at home.

Rare Fusion Gourmet Butchery
Transform your garden from paved patio into exotic oasis with the right lighting. Tealights go from run-of-the-mill to fairy-tale when you swap plain glass holders for something with personality. Go for metallic and interesting shapes that will reflect and project the flame in mesmerising ways.
Dahlia white and gold tealight holder, $14.99, from Dusk
Quality meat is the cornerstone of most barbecues and picnics, so be sure to stock up at Rare Fusion and prep beforehand. Think beef rib-eye cutlets marinated in red wine jus, shashlik skewers or veal chipolatas. In fact, they have a selection of sausages that is sure to satisfy every palate. So that’s all your barbecue and picnic turf needs covered, then.
NICE
John Walker Chocolatier
Heat is no friend to chocolate, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have it at your next picnic. Just choose wisely. John Walker chocolate licorice would hold its own in the sun and sate that sweet tooth. Or opt for the plain honeycomb – a crunchy, crumbly hit of honey goodness that will round out any picnic lunch.

for Seafolly’s new swim, overswim and activewear collections. At the heart of this campaign is some serious colour and print, as well as great detail. The spring swim stories include Pacifico, Indian Summer and Mandala. Inspired by retro Hawaiian holidays, we love Pacifico’s tropical hibiscus prints and sweetheart styles, nicely feminine, with the double-strap detail and contrast-banding adding that dramatic effect and modern edge.

made all the more delicious with yummy ingredients and condiments including pesto, onion jam and tomato relish, all freshly made. The poke bowl is another addition – with its origins in Hawaii, it’s made from a combination of fresh seafood or chicken, rice and nutritious and colourful toppings. Mouthwatering.

FROM DOWNWARD DOG TO DESKTOP
Athleisure that goes from yoga to brunch has had a little polish up and is finally crossing the sacred space that once separated activewear from the office. The new “workleisure” trend of all-day functional fashion tilts away from tight, bright yoga pants and is relaxing us into easy, everyday sporty looks that nod toward streetwear for the walk or cycle to work. It’s about ease of movement through our daily lifestyle.
