The debut collection from KS Swim had me with the crystal graphics and halter tie. Waves and triangles don't have a great track record. Neither does the weather (as of late) so a sweater must be on hand always - even when beached.

The moody blues (and hints of aquamarine). All night. Every night. It's an obsession I can't kick. And THAT Proenza silk-shantung dress - it just spoke right to my soul.

"We are all victims of this slime," said Hunter in his Generation of Swine. This book I keep on me at all times including all throughout this summer.

Living under water all one needs is 30+. Allmedic's moisturising sunscreen keeps it light and pleasant without looking like I had fun with the white-out. And summer wouldn't be summer without going crazy in the coconut with the RMS Living Luminizer (coconut oil, rosemary extract, etc). All organic. All recyclable. Shine on.

Wash hair. Plait. Maybe some cat flicks on the eye (M.A.C. liquid last liner equals no budge for at least a couple of days – epic time saver). Serge Luten un bois Vanille just goes without saying.

I've got a confession. I dig Brit noise. Actually more than dig: I am hopelessly devoted to the stuff. It's a continuous circle of discovery from our motherland. As of late, London trip TOY have caught my fancy. But George will be my always and forever ("Wah-Wah").

Gift giving zaps my mind. It's like a code I have to break. Presents have to be just perfect. Something simple - but at the same time - striking right at the heart strings and must ALWAYS be constructive (books yes, toys no). Lists are made prior to purchase - then mulled over. All this comes with the duty of having four grom sisters to decrypt.

Sunstroke. A transitional vacation between Hamilton Island and Bondi Beach. Snorkels. Check. Scuba. Check. Shark sightings (we can only hope). Farmers markets on Saturday. Chai at Gertrude and Alice. Mainly just learning to breath under the sea (exactly like in this shot by Bondi local Aquabumps).
