Happy Independence Day USA! I hope you're all having a wonderful holiday and rocking some red, white or blue, or all three :)

The patriotic colours actually reminded me of the super bright hues from this shoot in Thailand last week.  Featuring this super cute little playsuit from Aussie label Maddie & Belle, the colours really pop against the incredible background of the Infinity Pool at The Racha Resort near Phuket.

I was staying there for the wedding of the most perfect couple ever, but you can check out more of that on my Instagram channel.

I love playsuits, especially one with jewellery attached because you hardly have to think about accessories, and they're so comfortable and easy to wear, no need to worry about flashing anyone.  The best part?  It's only $40!!

Once again I'm rocking my $30 Go Jane strappy heels (I swear, they go with everything) and some cute classic sunglasses from Saint Laurent that I'd been in love with for about 5 months before I actually bought them.  The brightness of the playsuit called for an equally awesome bright lip, and Mac Cosmetics' "Lady Danger" was the perfect colour match.

A big thanks to my multi-talented girlfriend Erin Holland who took the photos for me on my Nikon 1 V2, and to The Racha resort for letting us run around and shoot everywhere all week.

Let me know what you think of the photos! Lauren xoxox
