Runway Scout Fashion Discovery
My most favourite recent online discovery for summer outfits to team with my sandals is Runway Scout. I love wearing their dresses on a lot of my sandal photoshoots. I have five of their dresses so far, to team with my Ankalia sandals and I absolutely love them all. They fit perfectly, they are true to size, they arrive quickly, and they are very well priced. Say no more! Furthermore, Runway Scout is an Australian online store, and it was started by a fellow “girl boss” Susan in 2012. She was originally a corporate lawyer and she started Runway Scout...

She thinks I’m too extravagant and she thinks I have too many dresses. Anyhow, I need new dresses all the time to...
7 Summer Fashion Looks You’ll Love
I’m a girl that absolutely loves Summer, aside from a ski holiday once or twice a year. Most of the time I live in pretty but casual dresses and I team them with my Ankalia Sandals. I’m just your average Aussie girl, so I feel all these looks can be worn by anyone. The photos are “real” in that I’ve taken them all at home outside my little Sandal studio with a hand-held remote control that syncs with my iPhone. So, no photoshopping and no editing.
