A few months ago Zanita and I collaborated on a new spring/summer campaign for Australian shoe retailer Betts. The campaign revolved around a colour blocking theme which I styled and modeled, whilst Zanita worked her magic behind the lends once again. Candy coloured pumps, bright two toned wedges and chunky platforms packed a punch in Betts new summer range and made this campaign a breeze to shoot. This was actually the project that started my full on colour on colour phase which you can see is something I'm still going through months later. I love how Australian brands like Betts and Bonds are embracing, supporting and encouraging the blogging community and I couldn't be more grateful for this wonderful opportunity. Like always, it was like mixing business with pleasure shooting with Zanita again and I even picked up the 'slightly concerned' and 'half surprised' look this time round. As well as a lovely little feature in one of our national newspapers, The Sunday Telegraph (pictured above).

Betts are also running a styling contest over on their Facebook Page where you have the chance of winning a $5,000 shopping spree with Westfield! All you have to do to enter is submit a photo here of your most stylish outfit with your Betts shoes and get your friends to 'like' your look. The girls with the most likes will make the finals and the winner will be chosen in a weeks time by none other than Vogue photographer Candice Lake. I thought I'd choose my favourite 6 styles to provide a little inspiration for you all. I have a feeling this summer is going to be our biggest and brightest yet!

Here are the photos taken by the amazingly talented and super kind Zanita. I've followed her blog since I started blogging myself and it's amazing to watch someone with such talent grow as a photographer and blogger. I don't know how she does it but she always seems to capture the right moments and frames them perfectly too. Loved spending the week with Zanita who is easily one of the most easy going and down to earth girls I've met. Beauty, brains and talent, some girls really do have it all. A very big thank you to Zanita for documenting my outfits each day, and you can follow her inspiring blog here.

You can tell I have a few favorite pieces at the moment - my white collared shirts, striped top and a navy gold button coat I borrowed from my best friend. All on high rotation at the moment and too easy to style a hundred different ways. Also fell in love with my vintage tote bag again and can't stop taking it every where I go.

A quick break down of what I was wearing each day during RAFW. A special thanks to Ruby in NZ for sending me this amazing green fluffy jumper. It was the reason so many people kept getting distracted in the middle of conversations and started stroking my arms :)
