My faithful panama hat. I built up its title as the perfect accessory for a beach holiday and I couldn't have been more right. Though these mirrored aviators from Sunglasses Shop could give them a run for their money (check them out for some sweet shades from your favourite brands including RayBan, Celine, Miu Miu and Oliver Peoples). Day 1 in Bali was a visit to Waterbom water park followed by picturesque views of a hidden behind the clouds sunset at Potato Head Beach Club from our dinner table. We snapped these up before heading out at our Villa Coco bungalow. But seriously, when was the last time you sat in a hammock? Despite the fact they make your thighs look like leg hams (don't mind me) and are extremely unflattering to get into and out of, our hammock was a great addition to our own little garden. Had it not been for the swarms of mosquitos, sticky humidity or my sweet tasting blood I would have spent more of my time outside swinging my cares away.

I'm back from Bali though not well and truly - currently suffering from post holiday depression while trying to enjoy any last amount of freedom I have before I start my final year of uni. I have a couple more Bali outfits and photo diary posts up my sleeve so you can expect me to be pining over how much I miss that place for a little longer. 

PS. Hair isn't purple, it's just the editing. Though now I wish it was.

giveaway. pop basic.

It wasn't enough for Queenslander Madeline Veenstra to establish the now hugely popular fashion version of Wikipedia, Wikifashion in 2010.  Fuelled by her entrepreneurial spirit and drive for success, she has set out to take on her next major project Popbasic, a monthly subscription parcel to help you build your basics collection. Noticing the growing popularity of beauty based parcels, Veenstra found a gap in the fashion market and so Popbasic was formed. The first campaign features my talented blogger buds from Sargasso Sea, Kellie (model) and Bianca (stylist) with a really sweet video to accompany these equally picturesque shots.

Think of it as your very own fashion care package (and who doesn't love receiving a bit of mail in the post these days?) complete with a staple fashion item, two trend pieces and an extra spesh surprise to see you through the month. Three items will set you back a mere $50 - $100 along with free shipping to Aussie and US addresses. It's not a subscription service (so you're not locked in to anything) and the best part is you're free to purchase items individually if something so happens to take your fancy. 

Popbasic have very kindly offered Flourished & Sunkissed a beta pack (including the polka dot shirt, green beaded necklace and the yellow and gold twist necklace as pictured above) to giveaway to one lucky reader.

To be in the running all you have to do is:

1. Save your spot on the Pop Basic site (you'll receive $10 credit for your first purchase so everyone's a winner really!)

2. Like Flourished & Sunkissed on Facebook or follow me on Bloglovin'.

3. Comment below with your name and email address letting me know you've signed up.

For an extra entry tweet @pop_basic and @_melissao and tell us how you would style one of the collection pieces.

The giveaway is open to readers worldwide. Entries close Friday 16th November, 8pm AEDST.
