WHAT TO PAIR YOUR EIGHT MINI WITH.
BLUE.
Neutrals are the obvious and do look chic and gentle. However, to seperate you from the rest, let us add some charisma to your look with alluring tones to mix and match.
To begin, we have the very elegant Serena, she is mischievous and high-spirited.
Pairing the Eight Mini with Serena emphasises the blue in the shirt and complements the beige skirt. It all ties in with sass and class.

2. YELLOW.
Add a punch of citrus to your look & polish up your mood.
Khaki and certain shades of yellow are soothing to the eye as are they welcoming and fresh.
Victoria is cheerful and open-minded, her silhouette is confident and can be taken out from morning to night.
+
3. FUCHSIA.
Contrasting colours could not possibly look any better.
Energetic but grounded, Everly’s character is attention grabbing with an earthy radiance.
This look is the emphasis of her curiosity towards life and those around her.
The elegance of the khaki Eight Mini ties in with the brown tones and refines the brightness of the fuchsia.
+
4. PRINT.
Blasting with prints. Margaux is a mix of feminine and masculine shapes and drapes. Grab your Eight mini and rock this look for lunch!
To take this outfit out past 5pm, remove the Spaventa felt hat and plum your lips.

5. NEUTRALS
This one is for neutral lovers. Or, those who want to keep their Instagram page flowing in one neutral tone.
While subtle and muted, this cappuccino look can be elevated by changing the self-belt around the waist and pairing the look with a beautiful olive green Chloé belt.
Concetta, Is chic of course and to add a bit of brightness, swap the beige shirt for a lilac one.
+
If your daily outfits consist of denim and a t-shirt, the Khaki Eight Mini can still be matched to suit. However, I felt the need to bring extra style to your attention and guide you on the many other ways you can match such a classical style and tone.

RESORT 102 • How To Black With A Clash.
Colour To The Mix.
Yes we all love black!! It is flattering and super easy to style and does not need any thought really. But how about adding a pop of brightness to it and perhaps some print?

First is first, all back clothing.
Are you heading to a place where you can enjoy a cocktail then a dip in the pool or vice versa? Then find a minimal black one piece. Pair this beauty with either black shorts, a black mini skirt or even a black maxi skirt. Culottes are cute too!
Because black is minimal:
You can add whatever colour you wish. I chose a striking coral.
You can choose lilac, cherry red, orange, pink, sky blue ... anything your heart and mood desires.
I love coral or orange with animal print, which is why I chose OPI, Hot & Spicy nail polish.
Alternatively, here are a selection of colours I would go for:
What about adding a print to the look?
When choosing to mix prints:
Focus on two different prints that have something in common. Perhaps a colour or a shape. Please please please do not choose two different animal prints. Example a Zebra bag and Leopard shoe!
Here are some mix & match options for you to pair with your above outfits:

CLASSY, ALWAYS CLASSY!
What is the first thought or sense that comes to you when you think of a Resort?
When I was a little girl travelling with my family around parts of Australia, we used to stay in these beautiful resorts and I used to get so excited dressing up to head out for dinner after a day of swimming at the pool.
Whenever I think of a resort now, my first scent is chlorine, funny but I love that smell now. ( Not if its in my tap water though!) The second thing I think of is, of course, beautiful resort wear, keeping it chic, always chic!
For example sandals instead of thongs. I do not care if thongs are "trending" at the moment, that is just a FAD. Ditch the thongs! The third thought is a peaceful dinner by the pool or around nature, appreciating the scenery with a " healthy looking" tan!

While I was in Townsville, I enjoyed heading to the local resort for a few days by the pool, this Resort was a great flash back to my child hood. One of my outfits was as simple as these paper bag shorts with a cotton embroidered bralette I luckily found in a local multi-brand store called STELLAR MODA.
I paired this look with my new kitten heels from ZARA. Now, I usually do not like to support fast fashion, however, if I do find a piece or two that I truely love, I will buy it. But my passion is to support local and independent brands, hoping to inspire others to appreciate them too.
My leather gold purse is from a talented Australian brand called HILLS & WEST and my earrings, which are from a young designer based in Beirut, Lebanon, AZADE. The accessories are stylish, contemporary and handmade jewellery made of plexiglass. These pieces are unique and when added to a simple outfit, VOILA, you have a stylish and interesting one! I love including independent brands from around the world, incorporating east & west into one! It is like connecting the world through style.
Below are few outfits I have worn and trended in Townsville's beautiful resort, The Ville. You can also shop similar looks that I have carefully curated for you... Enjoy.
