I absolutely LOVE discovering new brands. It’s kind of like finding a hidden treasure – one that’s been existing in all its awesomeness despite my cluelessness, and I just get giddy to see what all it has to offer and has in store. Finally, something new, different, and unexpected (!) that will for sure help with my cool-kid-on-the-block status (I’m totally kidding).

Recently, I feel like I’ve come across a bazillion Australian-bred brands that are all SO dumbfounding-ly (nope, not a word. I know.) amazing. Like, each new discovery gets me thinking – how the check (!) have I been living and breathing (and pretending to be a so-called-quasi-fashion-blogger) and NOT know about this?! Anyway, Bec & Bridge just so happens to be one of these awesome Australian brands that have just entered the picture for me – how cool is this dress?! I love the asymmetry!
