Bikini Season

Tis the season to be jolly....and lay at the beach, by the pool, in your backyard, soaking up the beautiful sun, getting a (safe) tan and sipping on some fresh juice while the sun heats your skin. Only if you're in the southern hemisphere though! Being Australian girls, that time of year is fast approaching which can only mean one thing......TIME TO SHOP FOR BIKINIS!

Whilst our bikini body is no where near ready our bikini collection has something else to say. We do have different bikini styles that we like to wear but regardless we know what we love when we see it. One of us has 3 drawers full of every Victoria's Secret bikini you can find. They're affordable, good quality and look amazing (their only downfall is that they don't come with the angel body!). Our favourites don't stop there though. We've sifted through the countless amounts of our most lusted after bikini finds and found the links to purchase them, making it easier for you to add them to your collections!

A.T.G Zip Front Bandeau set $170.00 from Green with envy

It seems we have a common theme....We love the bandeau top! We totally didn't do that on purpose! but I guess when there is something you just love you are automatically drawn to it!

Cold weather fix!

Here at Marada HQ we've been rugging up in knits and jackets next to a heater trying to warm ourselves up with a hot chocolate (or two!). We know how cold it is getting! Especially in Sydney and the rain doesnt help too much either. We've done out research for you and bringing to you the best and mor stylish ways to rug up for winter!




A cute cardigan:

Such as this Trapeze Cardigan from Sportsgirl ($59.95). Best way to layer. Wear with tights of jeans and boots. Layer the top with a long sleeve basic and scarves to hide the layers underneath. Easy way to be cute and warm!


Boots!:

The easiest way to keep your feet warm during those freezing days and nights are with a pair of boots because you can wear as many pairs of socks as you desire and no one can tell a thing. People dont often realise but boots are simple to take from day to night. Pair them with jeans and a knit for the day of stockings and tight skirt and cute top and blazer for those cold nights out on the town. The ones above are Tony Bianco Pelhams for $249.95 which you can purchase online.


Scarves:

Here at HOM we are obsessed with scarves and wear them all year round. They add to any simple outfit and create that extra warmth that we all desire. During winter we prefer the big chunky kind in multiple colours to mix and match with our outfits. We love the one featured above for just $29.95 from Dotti!


Coats:

Every girl should invest in one coat. We invested in ours three years ago and it still looks as good as new! They're great to throw over anything and when you escape in the warmth take it off to reveal your desired outfit. The one about is on sale on ASOS at the moment for $76.52  and is the ideal bargain piece this winter. Did we mention.... we love the colour? Way to make yourself pop and stand out. Don't want to take that risk? Opt for black as it goes with everything.

What is your favourite thing to wear in the winter time?
