Seeing as I have been stalking the Bureau of Meterology website for the past three months, desperately convincing myself spring is just around the corner, it’s only appropriate that I celebrate the first day of spring with something season-appropriate.

For me, spring and summer should be all about billowy maxi dresses, cocktails at sunset (and sometimes breakfast), days at the beach and other such stuff that I never get around to doing.

This Sheike Venus maxi dress is definitely on my wishlist for the warmer weather. Aside from the gorgeous colour, I also love the flowing chiffon and beaded satin detail at the waist.

It’s available in stores now for $219.95 (gulp).
