Embrace summer fashion

Every new season brings with it the invitation to update our wardrobes, but there’s something particularly wonderful about summer fashion – the comfort of soft fabrics and the joy of bold colours! Happily, this summer’s look captures everything we love about summer fashion.

Country Road and Seed have the loveliest of linen pieces in all shades of peach and pink – the ‘it’ colours of the season.

Witchery has you covered with their must-have shirt dresses – the epitome of relaxed yet stylish dressing – as well as statement prints to add personality to your outfits.

For unique garments and one-of-a-kind pieces, make sure you check out Camberwell Junction’s smaller fashion boutiques. Carolina Lifestyle is showing a gorgeous range of very wearable eveningwear; Silvermaple Boutique has several casual-yet-chic options, Bellite is the place for bright, distinctive clothing and accessories; and Decjuba has a selection of soft summer denims to die for.

Remember, shoes can make or break an outfit, and in Camberwell Junction, you’re spoiled for choice. Frankie4 Footwear is for people who like their foot support with a dose of style; Midas and Step Ahead Shoes are famous for their timeless style; and Paul Carroll Shoes are for those who understand that quality is the most powerful fashion statement shoes can make.

Enjoy brunch in the sunshine

Long summer days start with relaxing summer mornings spent enjoying a leisurely brunch and endless coffees with friends and family. Camberwell Junction has plenty of cafes with courtyards and open spaces to enjoy the warmer weather.

Heritage Wall serves up a brunch menu infused with Middle Eastern flair; the menu at My Other Brother (MOB) is famous for its hearty, wholesome dishes and excellent Inglewood coffee; and Rumour Has It is the place to go for warm baguettes, flaky croissants and crusty sourdough.

If ambience is high on your list of what makes a great brunch, check out Prospect Espresso, which rocks a New York vibe, or the modern, almost-retro vibe of Collective Espresso.

Go bar hopping

What better way to end a fun summer’s day than a cool evening at one of Camberwell Junction’s hottest bars?

Bar None, with its discreet prohibition-style speakeasy ambiance, is big on style; head to East End Wine Bar to sample a great selection of classic and boutique wines; and Young’s Wine Rooms is perfect for an elegant or romantic night out. Just want to chill over a couple of bevvies? East of Everything is a casual, welcoming, neighbourhood-style bar.

Try a new activity

Have those summer rays got you feeling inspired and ready to take on the world? Why not start by trying your hand at a new activity or hobby in Camberwell Junction?

Unleash your inner creative, with a glass of wine in one hand and a paintbrush in the other, at Frida’s Sip N’ Paint; give aerial yoga a go at Little Mandarin; or get your groove on at X-Dance Station.

Get a jump on next year’s spring racing carnival and design your own hat at Hats Off Handmade Headwear; or if you just want to hang with your mates and play a game or two, head to Players Snooker & Pool.

Treat yourself to a night at the Rivoli

An evening spent watching the latest blockbuster at Rivoli is less like catching a flick, and more like stepping back in time to an era where couples dressed up for date nights in the sumptuous Art Deco surrounds of this Camberwell Junction icon.

If the evening is balmy and the night too good to end, follow up the movie with a drink at nineteenforty, the Rivoli’s rooftop bar, where the drinks are as endless as the views.

Summer is all about embracing the best life has to offer, and it’s all in the one place in Camberwell Junction.
