I love this time of year – warm sunny days, beautiful beaches, icy-cold cocktails and the afternoon sea breezes (when you’re lucky). It’s also my favourite fashion season. There’s something about white dresses, denim shorts, a straw hat and a bikini that make me happy, and they never seem to go out of style. But black is timeless and I love that it works for summer too. This look is all about black and neutral tones and is something a little different, it is a simple look that will take you from the beach to a cafe with no fuss.

I’ve put together a day and night look to help guide you through the summer season. I’ve seen so many amazing pieces popping up in local Sunshine Coast stores – be sure to head to Summer & Salt at Peregian, Alterior Motif (Mooloolaba and Noosa) and Number Nineteen (Mooloolaba) to find something you love.

1. Bardot one-piece $79.95 | 2. Bardot Paper straw hat $29.95 | 3. Seed Linen Shorts $99.95 | 4. Witchery off shoulder top $149.95 | 5. Witchery Kit Drawstring bag $129.95 | 6. Seed Jelly Slide $49.95

This summer night look is all about keeping it simple. Mono-tones work well for every season. Black and white are classic and always in style. A simple pair of tailored shorts and sweet off-the-shoulder top are perfect for a night out at one of the Coast’s great restaurants on Ocean Street, Maroochydore or Hasting Street, Noosa. A simple beaded clutch and statement heels adds a touch of glamour to this simple look.

1. Windsor Smith suede heels $139.95 | 2. Seed beaded clutch $69.95 | 3. Witchery shoulder top $69.95 | 4. Witchery Pleat short $79.95 | 5. Seed tassle necklace $29.95
