My Summer Dress Finds – January 2022
Being a Summer lover and a sandal maker, I’m always on the lookout for summer dresses. In fact, I’m very much a ‘dress girl’ and I grew up with my Mum making beautiful dresses for me. I would go to bed listening to the hum of my Mum’s sewing machine and when I’d wake up in the morning there’d be a new dress hanging on my door knob. These days my Mum refuses to make dresses for me. She thinks I’m too extravagant and she thinks I have too many dresses. Anyhow, I need new dresses all the time to...
Yellow Must-Have Sandals
Do you really need a pair of yellow sandals? Well, I know there’s a big difference between need and want but I’m a sandal designer, so of course I’m going to say yes because I do have a yellow design in my range currently. When something is trending and we see it often enough then eventually we want it too. Yellow sandals and bags were certainly popular this past Summer in Europe and so of course they’re going to be popular this Summer in the Southern Hemisphere. My yellow design is called Lisa and it’s in luscious bright yellow suede...
The Palm on Callington
City Beach Photoshoot Location As a Sandal designer I guess it makes sense that I have a keen interest in design across a lot of other areas as well. That said, I love beautiful homes and I love architecture, construction, renovating and interior design.

The home we shot at is called The Palm on Callington. It’s a Palm Springs inspired beach house and it’s available to hire for photoshoots. It has a...
Green Summer Chic
Being a girl who loves colour is probably what piqued my interest initially with all the beautiful Swarovski crystal Sandals I saw whilst studying and holidaying in Italy. In terms of colour, I’m very much a pink and blue girl, however I’m loving all the shades of green I’m seeing this Summer. Especially what I’ve seen at Country Road. So many of the greens go with my Sandal designs. Here I’m wearing a singlet and ruffle skirt in Avocado green from Country Road with my Sylvia sandals. This celery green dress is also a fantastic bright, happy option from Country...
Stylish Summer Dressing for Over 40s
Dressing when you are over 40 does not mean giving up your personal style. I certainly encourage women of all ages to dress in a way that makes them feel good about themselves but at the same time they need to be mindful of dressing in a way that is age appropriate. Turning 40 sometimes brings changes in body shape and appearance which can make shopping for new seasons fashions quite challenging. You might feel you don’t want to start shopping in stores for older ladies but some styles that seem youthful or on-trend can accentuate your age. I encourage...
