Country Road Print Elastic Detailed Maxi, on sale for $99.95.
"I bought this dress from Country Road last month and it has been my go-to dress all summer. Love the fresh colours and the billowy fit - it's perfect for warm days." - Michelle Fry, Group Manager, Partner Strategy.
Glassons Supersoft Long Line Tee, $19.99.
"Kim Kardashian's influence is next to none. Glassons recently took inspo from her label Skims and created soft and stretchy t-shirts, bodysuits and long sleeves in a variety of neutrals. I grabbed the tee in both black and white and although I haven't tried Skims, I reckon these are pretty good dupes. Flattering, comfortable and affordable, I'd just get these instead." - Charlotte Begg, Senior Content Producer and Weekend Editor.
Saint Valentine Paris Tennis Bracelet, $145.
"I'd been looking for a delicate gold and diamante tennis bracelet, and this one from Aussie jewellery brand Saint Valentine ticked all my boxes. It's so lovely for everyday stacking, I'm wearing it here with another gold bracelet from YCL Jewels and beads from my own handmade line, Small Palms." - Tamara Holland, Head of Lifestyle.
Seed Heritage Core Linen Waisted Pant, $149.95.
"I bought these linen pants from Seed and I LOVE them. Yes, they're wrinkly but they're linen! I'm so cool and refreshed, and as a tall girl, they hit the floor which is a nice change. Now I have to decide whether I want another pair in black or white..." - Susannah Makin, Junior Producer and Community Manager, Mamamia Out Loud.
Commonry The V-Neck Chambray Midi Dress, on sale for $149.95.
"I recently picked up this dress from Commonry, which is one of my new favourite brands that ranges from size 10-22. It's super lightweight and a really flattering cut - it's been so cute for summer with white sneakers." Simone Masci, Sales Manager.
Cotton On The One Organic Rib Scoop Tank, $19.99.
"I got a bunch of these tank tops from Cotton On in all different colours. They're so versatile - can be dressed up or down - and perfect to throw on in the warmer weather. Plus, so cheap!" - Erin Docherty, Senior Health and Beauty Writer.
Lorna Jane Classic Ribbed Tank, $60, and Lotus No Chafe Ankle Biter Leggings, on sale for $60.
"Just me in my new matching activewear which NEVER happens. I'm obsessed with this fitted tank in on-trend brown, but the leggings. Guys. These are the MOST comfortable exercise tights I have ever worn. I know you can't really see them in the picture, but you're going to have to trust me. They're form-fitting but don't feel tight on, buttery-soft, the perfect ankle crop AND anti-chafe. Obsessed. Want three more pairs." - Tamara Holland, Head of Lifestyle and host ofWhat Are You Wearing?
Ownley Shenae Shirt, on sale for $99, and Laguna Pant, on sale for $113.
"This matching set is from a brand called Ownley. It's so comfortable - honestly feels like I am wearing PJs, but you can also get away with wearing it to the Mamamia office. It gives off major White Lotus vibes." - Lara Severino, Content Manager, Squad.
Zara Wide Leg TRF Jeans, $65.95.
"I've hit the jeans jackpot. After actively searching for jeans that wouldn't need taking up as I'm short, I found The Pair in Zara when I wasn't even looking (isn't that always the case?). High waisted, cropped and wide leg, they are the perfect relaxed pair of jeans. This is quite possibly the worst photo of them (check the website to get a better idea), but it was a reminder to go back and get them in both other colours." - Charlotte Begg, Senior Content Producer and Weekend Editor.
Kmart Classic Square Frame Sunglasses, $9.
"My best budget buy this summer has been these $9 pink sunnies from Kmart. I'm obsessed. I originally bought them because I wanted a pair to wear pool/beachside with the kids where I didn't have to worry about them getting scratched by sand or tarnished by chlorine, but I have ended up wearing them all summer with every outfit. Such a cute shape and colour... and did I mention they were $9?!" - Michelle Fry, Group Manager, Partner Strategy.
Friend of Audrey Riviera Striped Shirt, $259.95, and Shorts, $179.95.
"I was kindly gifted this striped shirt and short set from Friend of Audrey, which is one of those if-you-know-you-know Australian brands. They offer beautifully made, really wearable pieces that feel up-to-date, but timeless. I'll be wearing this with the matching shorts for summer and then cycling the shirt into winter with blue jeans." - Tamara Holland, Head of Lifestyle and host ofWhat Are You Wearing?
Obus Motion Blazer, on sale for $249.
"I picked up this oversized blazer, and it is lush. It's the best colour and elevates an outfit without feeling corporate." - Pip Lamb, Media Sales Manager.
Cotton On Body Cut Out Knot Front One Piece Brazilian, $39.99.
"This one-piece from Cotton On has quickly become a new fave of mine for summer. The pattern reminds me of Santorini and makes me feel like I'm on holiday. Plus, it's inexpensive!" - Jaslyn Berg, Brand Partnerships Executive.
Threadicated Personal Styling Parcel, $479.
