There’s something about an Australian Summer that is like no other… along with the salty hair and summer skin we all yearn for during the Winter months, we are lucky to have access to some of the worlds most stunning beaches, beaches I could loose myself at for days. A country of sun-worshippers, surfers, and beach-goers, we pretty much live for summer. Our style somewhat reflects our Summer existence, relaxed, laid-back, nonchalant, and we feel most at home in washed out denim, relaxed tees, and a bikini (just incase), throw in a straw fedora and a pair of slides for good measure.

Sydney label Zulu & Zephyr (somewhat new kids on the block) have managed to capture every essence of a quintessential Australian Summer with their latest collection Capetown, as well as producing some of the most coveted swimwear going around at the moment.

 The one place that always clears my mind and rebalances my soul. Crisp whites, Classic shapes, and Summery skies included.. and with that said this post is dedicated to Mental health week, a week that resonates with me quite deeply and is particularly relevant to the creation of Love rush.

It’s quite easy to get caught up in this world of social media, blogging and the overall Fashion industry and forget that behind that new pair of shoes, or that Louis Vuitton handbag, are people and lives.  Lives that go far deeper and beyond the flatlay, a photo of a healthy breakfast, or the latest style post.

I started Love rush 4 years ago during a time when I was diagnosed with Depression and Anxiety, at the time my inability to accept anything less than perfect was affecting my ability to be myself, to the point where I found it a huge effort to simply function normally (whatever that is) on a day to day basis, for absolute all consuming fear of failure and not being good enough at anything. Love rush began as a small step to letting go of the fear, and gave me a focus that took my thoughts away from what was going on in my head, it now serves as a reminder that everything is ok and that it’s enough just to be where we are, and to be content with that.

Whenever I have been called upon to go business shirt shopping, 100% guaranteed I end up with a handful of choices in varying shades of blue and usually pinstripes, I’ve spent months eyeing off a classic pinstripe shirt at Topshop and naturally was in awe when I saw the Michael Lo Sordo and Dion Lee Line II Spring/Summer 15 collections  at MBFWA earlier this year..PINSTRIPE HEAVEN only on a totally different level to those aforementioned Mens business shirt options, and Spring freshness guaranteed.
