Palm Beach in Sydney’s north is as pretty as it sounds. But don’t let the sunshine fool you, it was chilly and wearing boots and a leather jacket at the beach seemed almost appropriate. Almost.

I’m loving this Rag & Bone dress I bought from Shopbop the other week. I can wear it casually and at work, so it’s a winner for me. The way the dress originally sat on my shoulders made me look a little too Hunchback of Notre Dame for my liking, so thankfully Mum altered it for me. What would we do without our Mums? Settle with looking a little like this guy, I suppose.

Rag & Bone dress, leather jacket from a little shop in Newtown, Marc by Marc Jacobs sunglasses, ankle boots from Tokyo, Tiffany key necklace, ring from a costume jewellery shop in Omotesando and Issey Miyake bag.
