Smaggle Style

I realised something very shocking today. It’s summer in Australia. And that’s not the worst of it… when it’s Summer in the Southern Hemisphere it’s Winter in the Northern Hemisphere. True story. This means zero season appropriate fashion inspiration from the right side of the globe. All the fabulous fashion sites are all about knee high socks and mittens and hats and I am sweltering in 30 degree heat trying to figure out how to look half way decent while wearing the least amount of clothing possible. My solution? One word for you my pretties - ARCHIVES. Oh yes I’m becoming an Internet stalker of the worst kind flicking through the back logs of street style and personal blogs alike. So I’m going to post pictures of my favourite outfits from the other summer. Here is a tasty treat from Lebonbonmulticoloure, my favourite wardrobe remixer. She also has a street style blog called MTLStreet. These are ensembles she was wearing a year ago but it’s fabulous inspiration for us Summer bunnies who are looking for something a little different this silly season…

Here are a few Bon  Bon tips to keep you going  through summer

* Don’t over accessorise - Keep it simple. Wear a statement necklace or bangle but make sure your don’t over do it.

* Keep to neutral tones - Stick to a neutral a palette but add a splash  of colour. Lebonbon is very fond of using shoes as her vehicle for colour promotion.

* Don’t stick to one style - Just because you mostly wear dresses doesn’t mean you can’t break out the jeans.

* Grab a cardigan - Always layer. Always.

* Be quaint - Match your shoes to your bag and belt. It’s a nice way to look sharp in summer when you can’t wear scarves and hats.

Hope you’re all having a  stylish Summer! Or Winter…
