Day at Stradbroke Island, Funkita Swimwear and Sale Code!

Here's what I wore to go to Stradbroke Island with friends today:
Sun hat: Big W bow detail hat
Sunglasses: gifted Cotton On 'Kirsten sunnie' in yellow
TeeMarc by Marc Jacobs blossom pocket tee in grey
Skirt: AT by Atmos&Here Mars maxi skirt in white and navy (New purchase)
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
BagLodinatt two level canvas bag in Ivory and Red C/O Lodinatt (not pictured)


Last worn: sun hat, yellow sunnies, Marc Jacobs grey tee, Converse, Lodinatt bag. First time I've worn the skirt as it's a recent purchase.


On the beach of course I just wore my awesome Funkita bikini. And tried to keep my sunhat on my head, fought quite a battle with the wind through the day! Thankfully the sun was kinder and came out from behind the clouds early in the morning.


This bikini is so good, it's the 'Garden party' print from the Pixel Mix collection. Such a nice print for summer, and everything stayed in place as we jumped around in the waves (some of which were really big!) Sadly, no photos of it in action in the sea as we were swept off our feet a few times and it was quickly determined to be unwise to consider bringing electronics anywhere near the choppy water!


If you're in the market for new swimwear yourself with the warm Spring/Summer weather arriving, Funkita have a sale on at the moment. 25% off to help with preparation for the 25th December, haha! You just need to use the code 'FUNKYXMAS' at checkout to get 25% off. Lots of prints and styles on sale, and I'm definitely planning to add to my swimwear collection.

SkirtLiving Doll Wednesday black lace skirt
ShoesMarc by Marc Jacobs patent leather logo plaque flats
Bracelets: the usual plus gifted purple Salvatore Ferragamo 'Vara' leather bow bracelet
BagBalenciaga purple RH city in 2008 sapphire


Kept the accessories simple, didn't wear a necklace. I tried on a few necklaces in the morning, but they all seemed a bit much with the embroidered panel on the top and the lace on the skirt. Figured the texture was enough to add some interest to the outfit. What do you think?


Last worn: leopard print sunglasses, embroidered top, lace pencil skirt, MbMJ patent flats, Balenciaga sapphire city bag.



Here's what I wore for casual Friday today:

Got lots of comments on my necklace today! Maybe it just popped against the purple tee? I had a comment from a colleague that he was worried I was wearing a radioactive necklace! Apparently this looks similar to necklaces made of volcanic rock that can have harmful, radioactive chemicals in them? Never heard of that before, that was an interesting elevator ride! :)
