"Petal & Pup is one of my go-to websites for affordable and good quality summer dresses, and I couldn't go past this polka-dot one. I can already see myself wearing it casually with Converse or dressed up with heels. We love a versatile number!" - Charlotte Begg, Lifestyle Writer.

"This Lady Startup was created by Melbourne-based founder Apryl Yii when she was still in uni. Fancy lingerie is normally ridiculously expensive, but she's changing that with beautiful lace designs at a more affordable price. I'm loving everything rust-coloured right now so couldn't resist this bra." - Tamara Holland, Head of Lifestyle.

French Freddie Stella Shirt, $186.

"I’ve been obsessed with this shirt from French Freddie - a Lady Startup. I feel like it’s a staple piece that will be in my wardrobe for years to come, plus the colour goes with everything and the material is fab." - Isabella Ross, News Writer.

"I accidentally bought a pair of Twoobs last night. Thought I was just testing a discount code but ended up purchasing - my own fault and I think it was a sign that I needed to just make the damn purchase. I’ve been jealous of my colleague's Twoobs for months so I'm glad I can join the club." - Susannah Makin, Junior Producer and Community Manager (Mamamia Out Loud).

Bamboo Body Essential Pants, $79.95.

"I am trying to keep my maternity wardrobe quite minimal, as I don't want to spend heaps of money on things that will only last me a few months or so. I've been living in these... So incredibly comfy and you can make them look very different from outfit to outfit with different tops." - Gemma Bath, News Editor.

Luv Lou The Sydney in Black, $120.

"This cat-eye style of sunnies is very on-trend right now thanks to It girl Hailey Bieber, and I haven't stopped wearing them since they arrived. Great quality and super chic." - Charlotte Begg, Lifestyle Writer. 

Saski Seamless Scoop Top, $60.

"I recently came across influencer Tammy Hembrow's activewear brand Saski and got myself this crop for yoga. It's so comfortable with the right amount of stretch and the seamless cut makes it perfect for layering under other tees and tanks. There's a matching bike short and legging too." - Tamara Holland, Head of Lifestyle.

"I'm coming around to blazers, and just got this neutral houndstooth one. It's chill enough to wear over jeans, but I also got the matching pants so I can be a true corporate girl." - Madeline Muir,

"I just bought this black dress from Decjuba. I also got it in a colourful print as it’s such a nice cut and is perfect to be dressed down with some slides or worn on a night out. It’ll take you from day to night easily and it’s comfy AF." - Lize Ratliff, Head of Podcasts.
