Ombre Knit, Skinny Jeans, Boots, Balenciaga Clutch | Grey Tee, Skull Scarf, Leopard Print Pants, Acne Pistols, MbMJ Karlie Bag

Here's what I wore to spend some time with family on Saturday:

Top: Jeanswest 'Serena' ombre long sleeve knit in 'pavement'
Jeans: Jeanswest 'spoylt' super skinny jeans
Shoes: Asos Cleo leather boots in black
Bracelets: the usual plus Oscar's Law bracelet and gifted Balenciaga classic pearly grey double tour bracelet

Very similar accessories to the last time I wore this lovely jumper, sorry for the repetition! I think red pairs so nicely with the grey. Casual but warm outfit for spending the evening with the in-laws, having dinner and watching a movie. It was quite chilly so even Cooper has his knitted hoodie on! He had been shivering during the day as quite a bit of him was shaved after his operation. We've been putting his little shirts on when he looks cold.


Last worn: ombre knit, skinny jeans, Balenciaga sang clutch, black boots.

Relaxing, rainy Sunday and working at Church Online in the evening. Went out for a while when the rain stopped in the morning, but it had set in by the afternoon. Didn't need to carry much today, so wore my Marc by Marc Jacobs Karlie bag as a clutch. This grey Asos tee is perfect comfy weekend wear!

Had the perfect outfit planned for work today, until I realised that I had worn it before! Changed the shoes, skirt and bag and tucked the top in this time to make it look different. No excuse for wearing the same thing over again when I have a wardrobe full of clothes waiting to be worn, haha. Was quite happy to wear my skull scarf with the Dachshund print top, although it reads like an odd combination I think it worked well.

Received a new purchase too, another handbag!

Long weekend starts today! Had today off to relax. I went to the Reebonz Australia Brisbane sale this morning. You can find some photos from the day on facebook by clicking the image below, and I shared some photos on instagram too.

There seemed to be a lot more bags than the last sale, although I feel I say that every time, haha. There was certainly lots of bright bags this time around. There was a really good range of brands as well, even some Reebonz Vintage items from Louis Vuitton. The sale is open on Saturday too, at Brisbane Hilton, so check it out if you are nearby.

After dropping by the sale and not buying anything as I just got a handbag yesterday, I spent the afternoon with mum and Cooper. We went out for lunch to Wellington Point and sat by the sea, it was really nice and relaxing. Cooper enjoyed the day out as well, he was well enough to walk around the waterfront with us which was lovely. I always find nothing relaxes me more than sitting by the water for a while.
Linking up with Friday's five, Casual Friday and Friday's Fancies today.


Last worn: cobalt leather jacket, printed tank, Sass and Bide jeans, studded mouse flats. First time I've worn the bag as it's a new purchase.

We couldn't catch a later showing as I had church. We might try again next weekend!

Leather Jackets, Skinny Jeans and a Tee, Alexander McQueen Pink Skull Scarf, Balenciaga City and Day Bags

Here's what I wore to work for Casual Friday:

Jacket: Asos Black by Markus Lupfer printed leather jacket
Scarf: Alexander McQueen skull scarf white/pink modal (on sale! New purchase)
Top: Cotton On Salta peasant top in black / gardenia star gazer print
Jeans: Cotton On grey skinnies
Shoes: Asos Cleo leather boots in black
Bracelets: the usual plus enamel coated Marc By Marc Jacobs Katie bracelet
Bag: Balenciaga RH classic city in 2010 sorbet

Wet and rainy Friday, so boots were the perfect footwear choice :) Brightened up my outfit with my new skull scarf and a colourful Balenciaga. I wasn't too sure about the mix of prints with the pattern on the jacket, star print on the tee and skulls on the scarf, but I think it all worked together. Feel free to tell me otherwise and leave me tips for how to do it better in a comment! :)


Last worn: Markus Lupfer jacket, star print tee, grey skinny jeans, Asos black boots, Balenciaga sorbet city. First time I've worn the scarf as it is a recent purchase.

Here's what I wore to take Cooper to the vets today and have a relaxing Saturday:

Jacket: Wittner Santa Fe cobalt blue leather jacket
Scarf: Alexander McQueen skull scarf white/pink modal
Tee: Roger and Peach screen printed doily heart tee in lilac bought at the Rocks Markets in Sydney
Jeans: Sass and Bide "Straight up" jeans
Shoes: Nine West fascinate ballet flats in silver glitter
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Balenciaga giant hardware Day bag in 2009 tempete


Really like my new scarf, so wearing it two days in a row! :) This lilac and cobalt combination was another outfit I had thought of when considering the purchase of the leather jacket. Think the colours worked out nicely. A pink or purple bag would have been good, but picked my Bal day as I had a bit to carry around.

Thank you all so much for your kind comments, prayers and messages about Cooper and his health lately. Special thank you to Pat from Shoes of Prey who sent me a lovely email. Cooper is doing really well, although we still have to keep an eye on how much walking and running he does for a little longer until his wound is completely healed after surgery. The vet has given him the all clear, which is great! So nice to have good news!

Last worn: Cobalt leather jacket, lilac heart tee, Sass and Bide jeans, glitter flats, Balenciaga day bag. Scarf was last worn yesterday (see above!).

Trench, Skirt, Bal Work, Matches Fashion Reveal | Belted Jumper Over Printed Dress, MbMj Fran

Here's what I wore to work on Wednesday:

Jacket: Temt Black trench coat 
Top: Jeanswest 'Leila' embroidered top (new purchase)
Skirt: Asos tailored checked workwear pencil skirt
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs logo plaque flats in black patent
Bracelets: the usual plus Marc by Marc Jacobs enamel turnlock stripey hinge black and white bangle and Indigo Rose Design black leather Swarovski beaded wrap bracelet
Bag: Balenciaga classic work in 2006 Rouille


I wasn't comfortable in this outfit at all on Wednesday. Think it shows in the photos too, just not a nice outfit. The top and skirt wouldn't sit nicely together at all, bad combination! Such a shame as I like the pieces separately.

The embroidered top is beautiful, the last of my pieces from the Jeanswest sale. It's difficult to make out in the photo, but it has an embroidered pattern on the top panel. Will try get a better picture next wear.


My Matches Fashion sale order arrived to take my mind off the bad outfit though! :) Did a little video reveal for you.

Last worn: black trench coat, checked skirt, patent flats, Balenciaga Rouille work. First time I've worn the top as it was a recent purchase.

Here's what I wore to work today:

Dress: French Connection 'pendragon panache' cap sleeve dress in 'winters day base'
Belt: Kmart thin gold glitter belt
Shoes: Wittner 'Mimi' heels in mushroom
Bracelets: the usual plus Chloe Paddington crystal charm bracelet and Indigo Rose Design waxed leather cream howlite beaded wrap bracelet
Bag: Marc By Marc Jacobs Classic Q Fran bag with gold hardware in carob brown


In complete contrast to yesterday's outfit, I loved today's! This look is completely inspired by (or closely copied from!) Wendy from Thankfifi's outfit in this post, which she left in a comment for me as an amazing example of layering a jumper and dress when I asked for tips.

Wanted to wear this jumper, although it was a bit long, so I figured I could fold it up and the belt would keep it in place. It occasionally fell out through the day so was a little fussy to wear. Next time need to try it with a shorter top! Otherwise I really liked the layering, big thank you to Wendy for the inspiration! :)

Linking up in a few places today: What I wore to Work, What I wore Wednesday.

Dress: Jeanswest tucked ponte black dress (New purchase)
Belt: Black embossed belt that came with the dress
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs Logo Plaque flats in camel

This dress was another of my Jeanswest sale purchase from May. I knew it would be perfect for work, it was another one of those pieces I'd had my eye on in store but was patiently waiting for it to go on sale. I don't like paying full price for things ;) And since the temperature has dropped, the trench coat returns. It will be making frequent appearances this winter!

Jeans: Jeanswest blue skinny jeans

Greatly amused a lady who walked past Cooper and I today as she exclaimed "even the dog has a skeleton!". I hadn't noticed, but Cooper and I coordinated with our matching long sleeve skeleton bones tees.

Had the day off work today to relax and spend time with my mum. We headed up north to the beach to relax and chat, it was a great day. Of course it was windy on the beach, so crazy hair for photos, haha! I figured I'd put up with beach hair to have the 'excitement' of a different background ;)

Although it's winter, I'm still gonna be a real Queenslander and wear my thongs (flip flops) as long as possible! Nice casual outfit for walking along the beach and doing a spot of shopping, relaxed outfit for a relaxed day.

Ombre Knit, Burgundy Pants, Balenciaga Sang Clutch | Grey Tee, Red Skinnies, Chloe Bag

Here's what I wore to go shopping on Saturday:

Top: Jeanswest 'Serena' ombre knit in 'pavement' (New purchase)
Jeans: Jeanswest 'Fiona' skinny leg pant in shiraz
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs studded mouse flats in grey
Bracelets: the usual plus gifted Balenciaga classic pearly grey double tour bracelet
Bag: Balenciaga flat clutch GSH in 2010 Sang


This jumper is one of my purchases from the Jeanswest 40% off sale back in May. It was a sunny but windy day so this was the perfect outfit.  Thought the burgundy of the pants and the red of the clutch would go well together.

I had been considering buying this knit and then when I caught up with my sister she showed me she had bought it and told me how much she liked it. So I had to get my own when the sale came around, of course. My sister and I have very similar tastes!

I'm not always quick to post about new sales, so I made a new page to contain all of the sales and coupon codes I know about, feel free to bookmark it! I post on twitter when I update it. Most recently it's had the Matches Fashion 50% off sale added. Check it out, they have some lovely Alexander McQueen scarves reduced.


Last worn: burgundy pants, studded mouse flats, Balenciaga flat clutch. First time I've worn the jumper on the blog as it was a recent purchase.

Jeans: Jeanswest Pepper Red super skinny jeans
Shoes: gifted black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual plus Hermes Kelly Double tour bracelet in rubis
Bag: Chloe paddington cross body clutch


Very similar outfit to yesterday's, really drawn to grey and red this weekend!

This is another one of my Church Online team tees, I've worn one previously. It's a little big on me, but makes it even more comfortable to wear! Every year they come up with a new design, I'm pleased to see my collection build with each year I spend on the team.

Apart from working in the evening, didn't do much today. Enjoyed the slightly warmer weather in the afternoon and made sure to spend lots of time with Cooper. He's healing really well, thank you for all your kind comments on my previous post.


Last worn: red skinny jeans, thongs, Chloe bag. First time I've worn the tee on the blog.

Orange Jumper, Skinny Jeans | Cobalt Leather Jacket, Yellow Tee, Pink Skull Scarf, Nude Heels, Chloe Marcie Hobo Bag

Here's what I wore to work from home on Thursday:

Jumper: Vintage David Jones orange wool knit jumper from AWLQ vintage sale
Jeans: Jeanswest Super Skinny Jeans in Mid Indigo
Shoes: Cotton On thin strap thongs in black
Bracelets: the usual


A very simple yet cosy outfit to work from home on Thursday. I had to monitor Cooper as he recovered from his surgery on Wednesday, he was still a bit drugged up! 10 days of bed rest have been prescribed and he's not allowed to go for walks or play any strenuous games. This quick photo in the back yard as I took him out for some fresh air was all I could manage, as he wasn't happy being picked up and needed to be supervised constantly.

Cooper slept a lot, so I did manage to complete all of my work, and also list a few items on ebay. Feel free to checkout my auctions :)


Last worn: orange knit, skinny jeans, black thongs.

Here's what I wore to work for casual Friday today:

Jeans: Sass and Bide "Straight up" jeans
Shoes: Wittner 'Lumen' heel in patent leather
Bracelets: the usual plus enamel coated Marc By Marc Jacobs Katie bracelet
Bag: Chloe Marcie medium hobo bag in Nut


Back in the office for casual Friday and a couple of meetings, and my turn to have a break from Cooper-watching. He is much more like himself today though, it is good to see.  He will be missing from the blog for a while as he recovers.

Decided on a bright cheerful outfit as it was a slightly overcast morning. Although you can't tell in the photos as it's a bit too overexposed to compensate, sorry! The yellow in the scarf matches the yellow in the shirt quite nicely I thought. It's not yellow and pink leopard print, which Sam rocks and I plan to try one day, but it was nice.


Last worn: Sunnies, cobalt leather jacket, Alexander McQueen scarf, Sass and Bide jeans, Wittner heels, Chloe Marcie. First time I've worn the tee as it's a recent purchase.

Bracelets: the usual plus Edenborough Evans 'Ivy' silver cuff
Bag: Balenciaga RH work in 2005 Magenta


Last Friday I went shopping in the French Connection sale as I had my eye on a lovely peplum top. Unfortunately, they were all sold out in my size, but this beautiful dress I saw while browsing was the perfect fit :) I love the little pockets it has, which I'm trying my best to show in the photo. There's a reason I'm not a graceful model, haha.

Wore this to work, and a surprise lunchtime outing to see Ricky Martin in Queen Street mall. My friend had heard that he was going to be there, and judging by the crowd, everyone else had heard too! Nice little distraction for a Wednesday.


Last worn: leather jacket, wittner shoes, Balenciaga work. First time I've worn the dress as it is a new purchase.
