The summer party outfits the Mamamia team are buying.
The Fated Carlotta Blouse, $109.95, and Carlotta Skirt, $109.95.

"I bought this set — it's easy, chic, and I can wear it with heels and sandals. I think I'll get a bunch of wear out of it over summer, together and separately." - Charlie Begg, Audience Editor.
Atmos&Here Palmer Linen Blend Shift Dress, $89.99.

"I've just ordered this and am anxiously awaiting its arrival. Super cute for daytime events with some woven slides!" - Alix Nicholson, Senior Weekend Editor.
Marcs Totties Shoes, $149.95

"I'll be wearing these jaunty silver mary-janes! They're pretty and practical, so I can look festive and fun and also a little bit like a shiny school kid. They also come in gold and a beautiful red colour that's so on-trend." - Tina Burke, Entertainment Editor.
Sara Fox Portofino Mini Dress - Camellia, $399.
"Loving this dress. The colour (coral & aubergine — good for my autumn colour palette), the print, but especially the beaded straps — so cute and make it feel more elevated while still being easy to wear. Made by an Australian Lady Startup too." - Hannah Mansur, Chief of Staff.
AERE Linen Contrast Mini Slip Dress, $140.

"I've been eyeing off this Aere dress for weeks and trying to decide what colourway to choose as it comes in black, white, butter yellow and a powder blue (all of which are adorable). It also comes in a maxi-dress length and I need HELP. So once I make a decision, I'll be taking the plunge." Stacey Hicks, Deputy Editor.
AERE Linen Puff Sleeve Relaxed Shirt Dress, $180.

"I ordered this in the Black Friday sales for no particular occasion but have since decided it would be perfect for a Christmas party. I've wanted a printed dress for summer and liked that the colours in this were pastel, so easy to fit into my wardrobe. The shape on it is great too, I find a lot of puffy sleeves can be too puffy." - Valentina Todoroska, Editor in Chief.
Zara Metallic Flat Slider Sandals, $79.95

"Gold sandals for this holiday season! I grabbed these at Zara and they were surprisingly comfortable when I tried them on. I'll pair them with one of my dresses and some gold jewellery. Now I just need to pick a complimentary nail polish for my toes." - Yvette Bay, People and Culture Manager.
Third Form Wild Flower Wrap Mini Slip Dress, $270.

"I wore this Third Form dress to a friend's beach wedding and it'll be getting a few more runs on the board across the silly season. I love the hand-painted blooms, the colour SCREAMS summer and it's also super comfy." - Courtney Ammenhauser, Commercial Executive Producer, Podcasts.
La Bohème Girls Marlowe Midi Dress, $399.

"I saw the founder wearing it and she looked cute, so I wanted it! I love green and I can't wait to spin around the dance floor at the Christmas party in it" - Keiran Mackin, Head of Brand Partnerships.
SNDYS Ines Top, $129 and Ines Pants, $109.

"Currently eyeing off this pink flowery set from SNDYs. I loveeee a set because I find myself thinking of ways to re-wear the pants and top separately so you can get multiple fits." Lucy Ballenden, Brand Partnerships Executive.
By Johnny Sierra Paradiso Tie Back Cami, $126 and Sierra Paradiso Mini Skirt, $168.

"This set will pair well with sandals or heels and I can wear the pieces separately post-Christmas party. The pop of colours make it fun and festive and it's flattering. I've given up on 'tight' clothing." - Keeley Mercieca, Branded Content Executive.
AERE Linen Resin Trim Shift Dress, $150.

"I'm obsessed with this cute mini dress! The bead details add just the right touch of chic, while the linen fabric makes it ideal for a balmy Christmas party." - Pheobe Anderson, Branded Content Executive.
AERE Linen Contrast Strapless Dress, $160.

"This is currently in my cart. I wanted something that would work for both Christmas lunch as well as dinner and I feel like I could dress this piece up or down depending on the event." Em Vernem, Podcast Host and Writer.
Damson Madder Bluebelle Midi Dress, $200.

Leopard is a neutral, and this dress is perfect for dressing up or down. Made from pure organic cotton, it's breathable and still works for warmer months. Plus, it's reversible! Damson Madder is a brill brand that ticks all the boxes for gals with a Pinterest board full of Copenhagen street-style pics." Olivia James, Social Media Producer.
Atmos&Here Maldives Linen Blend Mini Dress, $99.99.

And this one's currently in my cart! Me, Annaliese Todd, Mamamia's Lifestyle Producer. I love the colour combo of pink and green and the tropical vibes it's bringing. I can't go past linen in summer, so easy breezy.
It also comes in other colourways including this Atmos & Here Curvy Maldives Linen Dress in Navy and Pink Palm, $99.
