ANISE Macrame Tank - SCANLAN & THEODORE Highwaisted trousers - Tony Bianco Ash Suede Dodge Boots - LimeCrime Lipstick in My Beautiful Rocket

I've been waiting for the sun to come out for days to wear this beautiful ANISE top (thanks to the lovely Sophie!), because I absolutely refused to wear something so stunning in overcast weather. But of course, Sydney clouds hate me, so warm evenings before dinner are the next best thing. Don't you worry though - there will be plenty of sunny photos of this beautiful top floating around in Summery happiness in due time! When I go to put this top on, I always stare at the amazing knot-and-weave work for a good while and a half - it is actually mesmerising! And so perfect for the hot days that are coming up fast - as is the rest of the ANISE collection... if I haven't emphasised enough already.

To make this more dinner-appropriate, though, were the incredibly high waist of these beautiful SCANLAN & THEODORE pants that the beautiful Jes of HARLEQUIN'S PARTY so sweetly sent me (I love you! They are. Amazing). The waist makes for, as you can see, a pretty fun half-tucked-in sort of fun, which will probably come in handy when I start wearing them to death. I've always had a soft spot for high waists, but I never thought I'd love something so close to being bell-bottomed so much!

And I'm not sure if the colour has come through very well in these shots, but a burst of orange in my beloved Limecrime lipstick went so well with it all (have I told you before how durable this lipstick is? I swear none of it came off during dinner). I've decided that as long as it doesn't melt off my face during Summer (doesn't look like it will), I'll be wearing my Limecrime lip colours a lot more often! So keep a look out.
