Living the beach babe life! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The weather forecast for this week was low 20s and rainy. It’s 30°C plus today - but still too cold for me to swim! The Welshman enjoyed a dip though. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The Blokefolk went quad biking this morning whilst I got more reading in! 📖 ☕️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We bought some local prawns for dinner, and went to the beach. It was magical! I love a beach holiday but I’m not really keen on the beach. Yeah, I know. 🤷‍♀️ Big fan of the divine Birubi Beach though! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m wearing a fab cotton dress I thrifted yesterday from @lifelineaustralia Nelson Bay op shop with @kmartaus slides, an emergency beach purchase! Swipe to see my Kiwi style - @karenwalker sunnies and @max_stylelived hat 🥝 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #TTRlovingpreloved #TheThriftedRedhead #stylefilespots #stylefileantipodean X https://www.instagram.com/p/CGEuMp7noNt/?igshid=w5wthh0mx349

A little #printclashprincess for #stylefileantipodean 🥝🇳🇿🐨🇦🇺 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'm wearing a hairclip painted by an Aboriginal artist I bought at Uluru (unseen sorry!), @taniatupu earrings I bought at @auckland_museum_store, and piwakawaka necklace I bought at @aucklandzoo. I love souvenir accessories! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My @made590 Evelyn top is printed with sweet Aussie animals and made in Australia. My @chasingcait_stylecoach x @tantrum_clothing bomber is the epitome of Antipodean style! Cait is an Aussie living in Auckland, and designed this piece with fab Kiwi brand Tantrum. I had planned to wear an amazing @trelisecooper skirt but I was too cold and sick and wanted comfy jeans - these are the @targetaus Shape Your Body high rise skinnies and yes, you need a pair! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Teamed with @gormanclothing socks and @loobiesstory sneaks. Also unseen is my @karenwalker sunnies and @_mimco handbag ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Not gonna lie, I am pretty happy with this Aotearoa NZ and Australian themed 'fit! https://www.instagram.com/p/B9s5z2gHCQT/?igshid=fhu4qf98yaia

A blooming lovely day in my @jerichoroadclothing Blooms sun dress 🌷 I felt a bit sassy in this shorter (for me) frock 💁‍♀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ As much as I love a sleep in, getting up and out earlier was rad too! So much more time today. Who knew?! 🤷‍♀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I didn't do really anything productive with those extra hours ... and that's OK too! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ PS - this gorgeous dress is on sale right now so run don't walk. I'm in the 18. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #SummerStyleFile #kimbalikesStyleFile #TeamStyleFile #TripleCstyle #realmumstyle #40plusstyle #stylefile40plus #CurvyAU #size16style #spotmystyle #realstreetstyle #daremorecareless #sydneystyleblogger #wearedonthestreet #womenwithstyle #australianfashionblogger #everydaystyle #stylefilegirlboss #stylefileantipodean #weekendwanders #rozellerocks #innerwestisthebest #TDPvipers X ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ (at Hannaford Senior Centre) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8lFsAkHgd0/?igshid=y4nib528kwp6

Not gonna lie, I love a spot of #embracethematchymatchy especially this peachy little combo 🍑 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ As I’ve shared, I don’t celebrate Australia Day because #alwayswasalwayswillbe but I do love my adopted country. So this week, I’m wearing outfits that celebrate the Australia I love. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'm peachy keen on my @jerichoroadclothing Little Llama linen top with @sirmano cute as a button artwork ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Jericho Road Clothing is Chloe and Kate, a gorgeous inside-and-out Queensland sister duo who grew up in rural Queensland cattle country on Jericho Road. They’re sustainable and ethical and have designed some of the most fun pieces in my wardrobe! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My sunnies are from Australian @gormanclothing, one of my faves! My shorts are from @countryroad, an Australian-founded company, now offshore owned. A brand I've been buying and wearing since high school, more than - gulp - 30 years ago! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ PS - did you spot my sexy new accessory? Turns out it wasn't just my existing joint pain, but tendonitis. What's one more ish? 😂😬🤪 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #SummerStyleFile #kimbalikesStyleFile #TeamStyleFile #TripleCstyle #realmumstyle #40plusstyle #stylefile40plus #CurvyAU #size16style #spotmystyle #realstreetstyle #daremorecareless #sydneystyleblogger #wearedonthestreet #womenwithstyle #australianfashionblogger #everydaystyle #stylefileantipodean #stylefilesustainable #stylefileshorts #stylefilegirlboss #stylefilewearableart #jerichoroadclothing X https://www.instagram.com/p/B77-ryPnJ2l/?igshid=1jo9v14sind9g

Feeling joyful in my @ada_and_lou Joy midi dress. Girl boss label, designed and made in Australia from ethically sourced fabrics.

Stripes + florals forever! I’m wearing @littlepartydress Eddie sundress [$69.95; size 14; kindly gifted] in @kasey.rainbow Flower Power print over @katiesfashion organic cotton tee from the wardrobe archives ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m introducing new @teamstylefile hashtags to the family! We have been celebrating Aotearoa NZ and Australian style with #stylefileantipodean and #stylefilemadeinaustralia, as well as being more mindful with our fashion with #stylefilesustainable ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We also need to celebrate other things close to my heart - girl bosses and wearable art!

Today’s fancy lunch date plans got cancelled because I’m fighting off a virus. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So instead we had a busy morning running errands. Romance may not be dead, but our cantilevered umbrella, the Teenager’s bedroom fan and our blender were! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Needed a #tripleCstyle outfit so it had to be my @stylingyouthelabel cami and shorts set. Made in Australia, ethical production and a girl boss label. Love that! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Teamed with EVA @birkenstockau, @trelisecooper sunnies and fresh hair courtesy of the fabulous @jylespicehair 💆‍♀️ 💇‍♀️💁‍♀️👩🏻‍🦰 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #SummerStyleFile #kimbalikesStyleFile #TeamStyleFile #TripleCstyle #realmumstyle #40plusstyle #stylefile40plus #CurvyAU #size16style #spotmystyle #realstreetstyle #daremorecareless #sydneystyleblogger #wearedonthestreet #womenwithstyle #australianfashionblogger #everydaystyle #stylefilesustainable #stylefileantipodean #stylefilemadeinaustralia #stylefilecheck #embracethematchymatchy X https://www.instagram.com/p/B7ILdEzHtNN/?igshid=wvf24ijssu5i

I’ve been making a conscious effort for a while now when it comes to my fashion. I’m buying fewer pieces, buying more ethical fashion, shopping local, buying from girl boss businesses, and from rural and regional shops when on holiday. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’ve also stepped up my efforts to reduce the impact of my fashion by laundering less and airing more, altering and mending, as well as being more mindful of the products I use. White vinegar with a drop of an essential oil scented blend is a much better fabric softener in all senses. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I still have far too many clothes and shoes and bags. I have too many special show pony pieces that I don’t wear very often. And I still buy some fast fashion. I’m a WIP. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The bushfire catastrophe has brought ethical and sustainable front of mind. We all know we need to do better; some have more steps in their journey. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ As a family, we have all been more mindful when it comes to waste and consumption. There is much more that we can do and we are challenging ourselves to keep making improvements. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Today’s outfit is by the amazing Australian ethical @doopsdesigns, made in the Byron Bay hinterlands from 100% linen. I’ve sized up to the XXL/18 because I love an oversized silhouette 💗 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'll be adding a few more hashtags to our @teamstylefile collection, so we can inspire others to discover ethical and local fashion labels ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #stylefileantipodean - outfits featuring Aotearoa NZ + Australian style labels ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #stylefilemadeinaustralia - outfits featuring clothes made in Australia ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #stylefilesustainable - outfits featuring sustainable and ethical fashion ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #SummerStyleFile #kimbalikesStyleFile #TeamStyleFile #TripleCstyle #realmumstyle #40plusstyle #stylefile40plus #CurvyAU #size16style #spotmystyle #realstreetstyle #daremorecareless #sydneystyleblogger #wearedonthestreet #womenwithstyle #australianfashionblogger #everydaystyle #doopsdesigns #stylefilespots #stylefilejumpsuit #stylefilelinen #showusyourgorman X https://www.instagram.com/p/B7FwjMlHBAX/?igshid=ryo4yi163jd8

Wine, cocktails, snacks and chat with really fabulous women was the perfect way to end my Auckland holiday. The Blokefolk had a man date at @rainbowsendnz and the pub.

Today whilst the Blokefolk were off quad biking, I met up with the lovely @iheartlockie.
