Aussie Rules

this past year, i've been lucky enough to meet one of those people who you know you will be friends with for the rest of your life. sounds dramatic, i know. but we've all had those moments when you cross paths with someone new and realize how much you have in common, how much you enjoy each other's company, and how much this person just...gets you. ya know? good friends are hard to come by, and making a true friend is worth celebrating!

kay is from australia and we met after she moved to Northern CA with her husband to be closer to his family. i love talking to kay about life in australia (she's actually from tasmania, a tiny island off the coast of the aussie mainland) and hearing about all that her country has to offer. one of the great things to have come out of our friendship is that she introduced me one of her favorite stores from home - witchery.















witchery's website is chock full of inspiration. the "great looks" tab at the top of their page is just one place to start browsing through the ensembles that they've put on display. what's fun is that the australian winter is our summer (and vice versa), so witchery is previewing spring looks as we get ready for fall.







its strangely refreshing to see another part of the world pulling their shorts, skirts, and sunglasses our of the closet when we've been sporting them for a while now. and as we've still got another few weeks of summer left here in the states, its never too late to think about new ways of putting together a breezy, summer outfit. here's to good friends and new finds!
