It’s winter now in Australia and the fashion of the day is scarves, boots and warm coats. So I am channelling this luscious look for my mid-winter holiday break to sunny, sultry Las Vegas in three weeks’ time! Can’t wait…for some poolside time, cocktails delivered by sun-bronzed pool waiters, colourful swimwear and lounging in my Miu Miu wedges.

I’ve bought a bright yellow patterned maillot to wear this year, should I feel like ‘posing’ – as opposed to ‘lying’ – by the pool. I will have my bikinis as well, in case my maillot makes me look too much like a stuffed canary!

I’m keen to see what this year’s pool fashion will be – last year was one for plain coloured bikinis in shiny fabrics, lots of bling and aviator sunglasses.

I’ll keep you informed – watch for my posts during July.
