Tell us a little bit about this photo — what’s your fondest memory from this holiday? 
This pic was taken waayyyy back in the 80’s - a lifetime ago, but I remember it like it was yesterday! Every year we travelled to Burleigh Heads for The Stubbies surf contest that my dad judged and helped run. This was in the VIP area of the contest at the famous break, and as always on holidays, I was allowed to have treats like hot chips and soft drinks! 


Most-cherished Summer accessory? 
Hats and sandals - both beach essentials.


Favourite piece from our new Resort 22 collection, PACIFIC and why? 
I'm loving our Forest Towelling One Piece. I can wear all day at the beach, then throw on a pair of shorts and head to the bar ;)

Tell us a little bit about this photo — what’s your fondest memory from this holiday?
This pic brings back warm memories of spending long humid summers in Noosa with my family and coordinating outfits with my bestie. Here we are in 2002 enjoying Massimo's - the best gelato in town still to this day.

Most-cherished Summer accessory?
It would have to be a vintage wash cap 100%. The Zulu & Zephyr Canvas Cap in Chocolate is my favourite, of course. 

Favourite piece from our new Resort 22 collection, PACIFIC and why? 
Definitely the Brown Flax Linen Shirt. The sleeves are a longer length (which being tall I usually struggle with) and it's a luxurious heavier weight European Flax linen which falls nicely when wearing.

We love this photograph of our Mum, Vivienne with our older brother Mason. 
Mum looks so youthful, vibrant, happy and in love with Mason spending their first summer together as mother and child. 

Most-cherished Summer accessory? 
Beach sarong and good quality sun cream with no harsh chemicals. 

Favourite piece from our new Resort 22 collection, PACIFIC and why? 
We love the Forest Towelling Onepiece and the Flora print apparel. And the new ZZ Beach Towel

Tell us a little bit about this photo — what’s your fondest memory from this holiday?
Most summers my family would camp across the bay from Cronulla in Bundeena National Park at a little beach front campsite called Bonnie Vale. The whole way there Dad would sing “we’re going to Bonnie Doon” over and over. We had a little blow-up paddle boat my siblings and I would explore the Bay in. One day we discovered an embankment in the middle of the bay which we thought had the softest sand in the world and so we named it “soft island”. 

Most-cherished Summer accessory? 
Comfy Swimmers that you can stay in all day long and a hat. 

Favourite piece from our new Resort 22 collection, PACIFIC and why? 
The Ruby Towel Bra Cup and Ruby Towel Waisted Brief bikini set - I love the vintage shape (super flattering) and the ruby colour, also added bonus that it is in the new eco towelling made from GRS certified recycled polyester towelling.

This was in the year 2000, we were extremely lucky as kids and spent the millennium in the Caribbean on a sailboat. My fondest memory of this holiday was snorkelling in the crystal-clear coral filled waters, playing on the shore and finding conch shells as big as my head.

Most-cherished Summer accessory? 

Honestly, I couldn’t put my cabbage pack kid down! Although not featured in this photo, I took her everywhere and she was very well travelled.

Favourite piece from our new Resort 22 collection, PACIFIC and why? 

The Flax Linen Gathered Cami. I love the texture that the gathering creates and the beautiful natural colour of the European flax fabric.

This is me and my Dad at Semaphore beach in Adelaide. I spent a lot of time here as a child as it was where my grandparents lived. I have lots of memories of eating (the world’s best) chips from the Semaphore BBQ Chicken Shop and running around the Summer carnival they hold every year.

Most-cherished Summer accessory? 
My string tote bag, it comes with me everywhere in summer, to beach, shops and dinner. It’s Always packed with a towel and sunscreen.

Favourite piece from our new Resort 22 collection, PACIFIC and why? 
I love my Flax Linen Gathered Dress, I’ve been wearing it all summer, I wore it to Christmas lunch and my Birthday, it fits like perfection and it’s easy to dress up with lots of gold jewellery and sleeked hair.
