Recently Fred Bare sent me two beautiful dresses from their range for Lacey to wear. The pink one she’s worn about a trillion times over. Her favourite thing to do is jump on the bed and watch it twirl in the mirror. She’s a princess like that. The red one is going to be perfect for Christmas, don’t you think?
To celebrate the upcoming launch of their online store Fred Bare is giving one lucky reader the chance to win this beautiful summer kaftan {available in sizes 2x to 14} from their new range. To enter simply leave a comment below answering the following question: What are you looking forward to this Summer?
You can visit Fred Bare’s website here, their blog here and you can even like their Facebook page here.

Spending hot days building sandcastles at the beach and playing in the surf, and also spending warm evenings reading in the hammock … Looking forward to this Summer greatly.
I'm most definately looking forward to some sunshine, sea and sand!
Currently, the end of these miserable spring storms. i look forward to packing away all the winter coats, being able to splash my kids when i'm watering the garden, and all the non stodgy summer food (and all the yummy fruit)
Hot days at the beach, swimming and having ice cream. Oh and our Daydream Island getaway. Its going to be a great Summer!
Christmas and spending good quality family time with family…..
I'm looking forward to long days, BBQs and most importantly the Christmas shut down at work so I can spend some quality time with my gorgeous kids and handsome hubby!
Jo
Heading to our favourite beach, easy BBQ dinners, the washing drying really quickly and nectarines – yum
Sending the kids outside to play after dinner while I have a wine. Hanging for it!!
long, hot days wearing not much at all and just hanging out with the kids.
Eating watermelon all day, floaty dresses and feeling like I've earned that cider at the end of the day.
Oh and easy slap together dinners
Oh yay I love Fred Bare! I am looking forward to BBQ's on the deck, having family travel here from all over the world to see us for Christmas and taking the twins to the beach for the first time.

I'm looking forward to inventing new salads, days at the beach, nice cold Midori, attempting to surf (again), and NOT BEING COLD!
Yay for summer!
Jay
I forgot to mention eating lots and lots of summer fruits. Mmm mangoes!
Jay
I'm looking forward to summer fruits, kids splashing in their wading pool, BBQs on the porch, and Christmas with family.
im most looking forward to adding a new little bundle to our little family and spending the long summer days buy the pool with the 4 kiddies and hubby 😀
She is a cute cuddlebunny that I kiss a zillion times a day…talking about my daughter named Summer,right? Ok, seriously…outdoor showers, dinner by the beach, salty skin, fruits of the season with the sounds cicada's and whirring of overhead fans. Love, Love Love!x
Going to the beach in afternoon to watch the sunset and enjoy a glass of wine.
I'm looking forward to eating dinner outside with my family and friends.
Not setting the fire every night! Windows open. Iceblocks. Swims at the local waterfall. BBQ's and long dinners outside under the stars.
fish and chips on the beach in the evening on those balmy nights. To me that is Summer.
Love the dresses, gorgeous
I have a lot I am looking forward to this summer. Firstly the school holidays where I have three weeks off work – Yay! Lots of quality time with the family to just hang out and be together. I am also looking forward to summer fruits…cherries and mangos…yumm. We are renovating our home, so I am looking forward to seeing the end result which will be in summer. I am also looking forward to mince tarts at Christmas time. (hmmm…there does seem to be a common theme of being excited about food).
I love summertime sunsets and warm breezes, when my kids can play outside for hours in the evening.
Cool watermelon and mangos, warm afternoons on the beach, icecreamy smiles from my kids and the sun
Spending Christmas with my husband's fabulous brother for the first time in 16 years. Plus, outdoor eating. LOVE!!
I so look forward to strawberries, sunshine, sunny-boys and oversized floppy hats. Playing frisbee at the beach or park, and my daughter's eczema not being as bad as it is in winter.
Long warm days filled with laughter and love
spending days together at the beach and no hassles of school or work!
Watching the kids play outside in the cubby their daddy built. Usually they are just wearing singlet and undies (matching of course)! Oh I love those late nights in summer that end with zooper doopers!
Can't wait to spend our Christmas in Bali with my family and celebrating my Mum's birthday!
The smell of a summer thunderstorm after a hot day!
Such a beautiful caftan! This Summer I am looking forward to 3 weeks away with my little family, in Bali and Perth – heat, swimming, fabulous food, relaxing, reading – all the good thins
picnics on the beach, frolics in the backyard all day only disturbed by filling up the shell pool and cutting up watermelon. Road trips with the windows all the way down. Sundresses and sandals. Savouring the season that makes me feel most alive! Love Fred bare;) x ashley
The longer sunny days, a nice tan, eating kilos of watermelon & my growing bump.

I would have to say pitching a tent under the stars on a hot balmy night. My daughter is obviously busting to do this as she has recently started practicing her tent making skills by using broken pencils (as pegs) pushed through my gorgeous throw rugs! You have to give her points for creativity!!!
How gorgeous does Lacey look?!
I'm looking forward to having my husband home from work so we can spend long days together watching our kids play, frolic and enjoy the warmth.

The pictures of Lacey are stunning!
I love Fred Bare – Skye used to wear lots of fred bare when she was little. I had forgotten all about this brand. Off to checkout the website now 🙂
I love summer time BBQ with friends, and trips to the beach with the kids at dusk.
I am looking forward to.. having a mini-break away with my family (two little ones under 4 and my partner) to the coast to spend some quality time by the beach and in Nature!
early morning paddling at the beach with my baby girl!
Christmas with my family

I'm looking forward to sitting outside in the shade of our new pergola – due to be built in 2 weeks…..after having waited 12 months and being stuffed around by 3 companies!
cheers

My mother is coming out from the states for 5 weeks this summer – family time, babysittng, support and love!
I love summer, the beach, surfing (when I find time these days), ice-creams, my birthday, our son's naming day this year, xmas (our son's first and daughter's 4th this year) and our daughter starting pre-school leaving me with some one on one time with the little guy 🙂
where do i start? bright colourful clothes, yummy fruit, beautiful salads, going to the beach, cold crisp wine on the front verandah, Australian open tennis, cooling down under the sprinkler. I could go on and on and on. I love summer
I am looking forward to lots of stone fruit, prawns, the beach, soft flowing dresses and nailpolished toes. Family, friends, bbq's and a few ciders on a hot afternoon xx
Gorgeous photos Chantelle.
I am mostly looking forward to eating meals outside, spending time in our garden with family and friends and wearing less clothes which equals less washing!

Watching my 3 kiddies frolick in the water and learn to surf. Eating outside, salads, icypoles and little beach bums.
Cotton frocks, twilight fish and chips at the beach, a cold beer, the first swim of the season, spending time with my smalls over Christmas – gosh I can not wait – and that holiday feel that always arrives when Summer does.

Swims in the backyard pool, cold mexican beer with lime, bbqs, Sydney Festival, Laneway Festival, decorating the Xmas tree, splices and calippos, beach hair, new freckles, body surfing, fireworks, road trips, big storms, seafood and sunshine…
These are truly devine dresses.
What I am most looking forward to about summer is taking my little boy (who is 18 months now) to the beach for the very first time. I can't wait to see the delight on his face and see him toddling toward the water, letting him play in the sand and the water and collect shells. Then we will let him feel the tradition of hot chips and icecream on the beach!
I can't wait! I hope he loves it!
Sunshine, the beach, cold beverages, movies in the airconditioning, bright summer block colour fashion, swimming,cold salads, seafood, longer days, beautifully decorated Christmas windows, Christmas carols played in shops, sun kissed skin 🙂
Sleeping in a tent, hot summer days, icy cold drinks with fresh lime, the beach and good times with some of my most favourite people in the world. A chance to breathe, relax, and enjoy the little things.
thanks for the chance to win, Chantelle. That dress is AWESOME!
Christmas, Warm Weather and Summer Fruits
Love Fred Bear
Home made iceblocks, sleep ins on weekdays (I'm not a good school mum), fruit stains on tshirts, prawn entrails under the fingernails and beertops in the garden. All fine Aussie evidence of a good summers day.
Going to the beach and swimming in the beautiful blue sea!!

Dressing my daughter in all the clothes I've purchased from 2011 Summer Fred Bare….I am LOVING this collection!
I'm so looking forward to summers at the beach near my sister in law's home in Torquay.
A bucket and a trawl in the beach sand and a couple of kiddies will make for a great day out.
not working! One of the perks of being a teacher is 6 weeks off at xmas. I just love it.
Sand in toes, salt in hair, lots of cold watermelon and byron bay holiday…yay!!
I'm most looking forward to getting a Nanny for 4 weeks this Summer! And by 'Nanny', I mean my husband 🙂
He's taking 4 weeks leave off work, so I'm gonna let him be Summer Mum for me….
Finding an adult-sized kaftan like that Fred Bare one! Just divine.
Warm summer nights spent outside with good friends watching all the kids play!
I'm looking forward to dangling my legs in my SIL's pool on NYE, sipping champagne and welcoming a new, exciting year….and accepting that it's a month til my 40th birthday.
What everyone else said please. 🙂
Not having to ague about putting clothes on with darling 2 year old whose favourite pastime is “being a nudey bum, mum”
Lots of swimming time and plenty of time for gardening.
exploring my new home here in Perth (we just moved all the way from Sydney), and spending lots of long days at the beach with my twin bubbas, oh and a few balmy booze laden BBQs. That is all.
BBQs and Balmy Evenings outdoors, the smell of freshly cut grass and walking back from the pool with the vague smell of chlorine that hangs around, and although I shouldn't like the smell of a chemical on my body so much, reminds me it's summer!
flowers on the breeze, warm salty seas, cool refreshing beer & lots of holiday cheer!
sun, swimming and lots of outside play!
Sunshine, the beach, bright coloured fashion, spending time in our garden with friends and family, swimming, summer fruits, cold salads, seafood,homemade ice-blocks, longer days, beautifully decorated Christmas windows, Christmas carols played in shops, and decorating our house with christmas decorations.

Weekends spent at the beach, bbqs in the afternoon, champagne with strawberries, christmas.
Spending time with my hubby who works night shift and having the rest of family meet our Newborn daughter for the first time x
School Holidays… I know it is crazy, but I love the no stress start to the day, the not needing to be anywhere and the not rushing to get 4 kids out of the house. Followed very closely by long days on the beach, with melted iceblocks and tired happy kids who sleep through the night!
