Last weekend I visited a lighthouse with my mum and the dogs and then went for a swim. It was a hot day with a beautiful sea breeze and I was excited to wear this outfit. I managed to snap some photos once we hit the beach in a very cute bikini with my crazy hair from the walk + wind, more on that later! 

Anyway, I took my new Dahlia jelly tote out and as you can see it was packed with all my essentials for day: camera, a bikini, a spare dress to wear after taking a dip in the water, snacks, water bottle and a sun hat etc. I am always pleased that I can fit everything I need into these tote bags because I like to take everything I need or could possibly need. I'm off to New Zealand in January to visit family so I will definitely be taking one of my tote bags for the trip, I might take my yellow one too... Sometimes you need to have options!

When deciding what to wear for this little adventure to the lighthouse I basically planned my outfit around this Erstwilder brooch, I love that the Round the Twist brooch is named after one of my favourite childhood television shows.
Have you ever, ever felt like this,
When strange things happen, 
Are you going round the twist?

This brooch is another great addition to my collection of nautical clothing and accessories, I just love the colours that were chosen for this design. 

I also must say before I end this post that I just love these culottes so much, they are quite light and airy and now I want them in the newly released colours... Perfect for summer!

  4. I've just had a big flashback to 'Round the twist', it was my absolute favourite!! I'd forgotten about it. Thanks for the reminder. I love how cool and breezy this outfit is, those shoes are just gorgeous, and I think culottes make a nice change from shorts or a skirt. Beautiful x

  7. Ah! Loved that show as a child, and I gotta say, I am totally squee-ing over the 'Round the Twist brooch because of it! Like you said, it's a perfect nautical accessory, but even more fun with the childhood association. And yes, Sun Jellies bags really do make the best beach totes ever! ❤
