After a lovely few days away with DeLovely, I’m still a bit floaty knowing that I have tomorrow off work as well… too much bliss channelling the 50′s!

Time out ~ I went with the flow this weekend and experienced ‘The Hang”, lazing around QT at the Gold Coast, fifties style with T…
All very groovey despite the cloudy weather ~ the sun shone through with the homemade lemonade in our room on arrival!

Bathing Belle
Swim, swim, swim
I love Spring Hills Baths!
Today I began my exercise regime and swam some lengths
at the historical Municipal Baths, Spring Hill which opened in 1886.
Googles and kickboard, I was swimcap free and not nearly as stylish as these babes.
The Karen Neilsen Collection fashion shoot at the Spring Hill Baths captures the atmosphere.
Charismatic coloured doors in vivid yellow, red and green
set the scene for the old world glamor style of the KNCollection shoot.
The beauty and authenticity of these heritage retro baths was the perfect setting.
Karen Neilsen Collection is more then just a swimwear label
–we’re a community of fashion lovers seeking the latest and greatest in unique 50’s inspired style.
KNC girls have access to the latest in swimwear trends, exclusive invites to fashion parades and fabulous fashion events – and take on the world in oh la la style.
Fashion designer Karen Neilsen was inspired to create these treasures
when she discovered old family holiday snaps from‘ The Entrance’
a trendy beach hotspot back in the 50’s. The Karen Neilsen Collection was developed in 2007.
Take a trip down summer sunshine times with sweetheart skirted bottoms,
pompoms, vintage florals, high waistlines to Itsy Bisty bikinis
and beautiful bows radiate the ultimate feminine feel.
