Sunday was such a hot day, the start of our dreaded summer heatwave! Wanted to wear as little as possible, and spend as much time in air con as possible, haha. A nice light outfit. Thought I'd break up the blue a little with the addition of the yellow sunglasses.

We had big storms in the afternoon but nothing too bad out our way, we kept our power which was good as I was working at Church Online. Great message this week about miracles, loved it!


Last worn: yellow sunglasses, striped top, Roxy skirt, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff aquamarine mini MAC.

Here's what I wore today:

Sunglasses: gifted Rayban new Wayfarers
Necklace: gifted gold heart shaped necklace
Dress: Dorothy Perkins floral dress
Shoes: Wittner 'Jasmarie' studded sandals
Bracelets: the usual plus gifted mixed metal spiral bracelet stack and Disney Couture Winnie the Pooh bangle on other arm
Bag: Balenciaga envelope clutch in 2012 mangue with giant 12 RGGH


Today we had an afternoon tea to celebrate a family birthday, so I took the chance to get dressed up a little. This dress was a hand-me down from my sister in law, who got it from a friend, who I think may have got it from another friend? Was brand new with tags on, but hadn't fit anyone it was passed to. Although it is a little tight around the waist on me, it's such a lovely dress I just couldn't say no :)


Last worn: Rayban sunnies, studded sandals, Balenciaga mangue envelope clutch. First time I've worn the dress.

I really like pink and blue together, so went with all pink accessories today!

This morning DH and I had to brave the shops after we had a minor miscommunication. We have a party coming up, and we were each under the impression that the other had organised the gift, when neither of us had. It wasn't as busy at the stores as I thought it would be, although there are certainly a lot of sales around. We ended up sticking to just getting what we needed, having lunch and getting home again. The pool was calling so I will have to spend my Christmas gift cards another time ;)

Have you shopped the post-Christmas sales in person yet?


Last worn: pink printed sunglasses, Suboo stripe maxi dress, pink skinny belt, Balenciaga studded sandals, neon pink studded clutch.

Sales and Outfits! | Christmas Day Dress, Boxing Day Maxi Skirt, LV Neverfull Tote Bag

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas with friends and family!

Here's what I wore on Christmas day:

Necklace: custom Cooper charm by Silhoupette
Dress: Asos biker print maxi dress
Shoes: Wittner 'Columbia' cross strap sandals in tan
Bracelets: the usual plus gifted gold bangle set
Bag: Louis Vuitton MM damier azur neverfull


Knew this dress would be perfect to wear for Christmas. I've had it an embarrassingly long time without wearing it as it was too long, but had it shortened last week so it's much more wearable now. It has a dipped hem, but unfortunately you can't see it well in the photos as Cooper sat right in front of it! The bracelets were a birthday gift which worked perfectly with the dress.

We had a wonderful Christmas day with church in the morning, lunch at the in-laws and dinner at my parents. My sister and I received a matching pair of onesies as a Christmas gift, so near the end of the day we had changed out of our dresses and were sitting around in our onesies, haha!


Last worn: Wittner sandals, Louis Vuitton neverfull bag. First time I've worn the dress on the blog.

Here's what I wore today:

Sunglasses: gifted Rayban new Wayfarers
Necklace: gifted beaded statement necklace from local markets
Top: Jeanswest 'Jenni' basic singlet in festival fuchsia
Skirt: gifted Jeanswest plain jersey black maxi skirt
Shoes: Wittner 'Columbia' cross strap sandals in tan
Bracelets: the usual plus beaded neon and gold and black and gold bracelet set. Disney Couture Winnie the Pooh bangle on other arm.
Bag: Louis Vuitton MM damier azur neverfull


We stayed at my parent's place overnight, so we got to spend Boxing Day together today. Had the chance to wear some of my new Christmas goodies! I'd asked for bracelets for gifts and got so many nice ones that it was hard to choose what to wear first, but thought these beaded ones would go nicely with the necklace I'd packed.

Had a huge breakfast, leftovers for lunch and dinner and spent some time in the pool to cool off. It's been a busy few days for us with a bit of travel, but it's been wonderful spending time with family. Was so good to relax and spend time with everyone, as well as seeing everyone starting to use and enjoy their Christmas presents.

Christmas Eve: Asos Black Beaded Necklace Dress, Louis Vuitton Neverfull

Here's what I wore on Christmas eve:

Sunglasses: gifted Cotton On 'Kirsten sunnie' in yellow
Dress: Asos tribal necklace dipped hem black dress
Shoes: Wittner 'Jasmarie' studded sandals
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Louis Vuitton MM damier azur neverfull

Thought this dress would be a good thing to wear on a very hot Christmas eve, and the built in beading means no extra accessories were needed! I bought this dress years ago, but it doesn't get worn often as it's hand wash only because of the delicate beading. It's so comfortable I should wear it more often! I'm pleased how many nice pieces I'm finding in my wardrobe when I make an effort to wear more of what I own and buy less.


Scheduled this post as I will be away from the computer on Christmas day, spending the day with family. I hope you have a wonderful and safe Christmas, however you celebrate.

(The cute Cooper image we put in our Christmas cards this year!)

Last worn: yellow sunglasses, studded sandals, Louis Vuitton neverfull. First time I've worn the dress on the blog.

Skirt: AT by Atmos&Here Mars maxi skirt in white and navy
Shoes: gifted black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff coated canvas mini MAC in berry stripe


DH and I were spoiled by our friend who surprised us with a hotel stay for our Christmas present.  We have a few days down by the Gold Coast to relax, which was incredibly thoughtful and much appreciated! The weather has been lovely too.

Spent Sunday by the pool and checking out the local markets, before working at Church Online in the evening. There is no wi-fi in our room and mobile reception is patchy, so I've been instagraming (@awayfromblue) just every now and then. So glad I brought the laptop so I could use the cabled internet and still attend church. The Christmas church service has started, and it is played over 60 times this week at live.lifechurch.tv if you want to check it out.


Last worn: yellow sunglasses, grey tee, stripe maxi skirt, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff canvas stripe mini MAC.

Skirt: gifted Jeanswest plain jersey black maxi skirt
Shoes: gifted black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff coated canvas mini MAC in berry stripe


Another relaxing day by the pool! Wore this to go out and about, with dry hair so I didn't have to scrape it into a messy updo like previously, haha!

The necklace is a recent birthday gift from my bestie, isn't it beautiful? Really enjoying wearing maxi skirts this summer, they seem to be my go-to this time. Last summer it was definitely shorts all the way!


Wanted to let you know as well that the international Net a Porter sale has started, so if you have some Christmas money or want to treat yourself to something, now is the time to buy at up to 50% off! :)

Last worn: stripe tank, Havaianas (see above), Rebecca Minkoff canvas mini MAC (see above). First time I've worn the skirt as it was a recent gift.

Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs metallic mouse flats

Friday was such a good day! Had a few last minute pressies arrive just in time (despite one of them being ordered in October!) so I wrapped them in the morning. As it was his last day at work before the Christmas shut down period, DH only had to work half a day so we celebrated the start of our joint holidays by going out for lunch.

Just a casual shorts and singlet outfit today. A hot summer day, so shorts seemed like a good option. Really like the print of this top, although it's been a "maybe keep" option in my wardrobe for a while, I can never seem to get rid of it. Everyone needs a good animal print piece, don't you think?

Rebecca Minkoff Mini MACs. Grey Tank, Paisley Skirt | Red Leopard Print Dress

Here's what I wore on Wednesday:

Sunnies: gifted Cotton On 'Risky Business' sunglasses in sky blue
Necklace: Lovisa turquoise and silver long disc necklace
Top: Cotton On 'eternity' tank in charcoal marle
Skirt: Minkpink grey and black paisley print skirt
Shoes: gifted black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual plus Roie Designs labradorite bracelets
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC with python embossed leather in aquamarine


Just a nice casual outfit. I liked the grey tank with the grey skirt, but added a bit of colour with my bag and necklace so the outfit wouldn't be too dull (same bag as I wore Tuesday). Had to go to the tailors to pick up my newly shortened dress I'm wearing for Christmas, so this was a nice outfit for walking around in the heat of the day. Have had the dress for years but never worn it out as it's always been a bit long. I'm just too clumsy to trust that I won't step on the hem, haha!

Decided that this year, I'd wear a dress I already own rather than going out and buying a new dress just for Christmas day. Sticking with my plan of wearing more of my wardrobe :)


Last worn: blue sunglasses, grey tank, paisley print skirt, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC.

Spent today with family. When our days off align, it's good to spend some time together with my mum and sister. We went shopping in the morning and then had a big dinner with everyone in the evening, it was lovely.

Wasn't too sure of the striped bag with the leopard print dress at first, but I think it looks good in the pictures. What do you think?


Last worn: Yellow sunnies, Asos red leopard print dress, white skinny belt, studded sandals. First time I've worn the bag.

Just a simple skirt and tank outfit for walking around in the heat. Used a big tote bag as I went shopping in the morning and just wanted to throw all my purchases in one bag. Popped to the stores to get some more wrapping paper, and settled in for the afternoon at home wrapping Christmas presents. However, I actually needed to get some sticky tape too...which I realised halfway through wrapping, oops! I definitely had enough paper though :)

Another relaxing day off and a nice casual shorts outfit. I think I'm pretty much gonna wear thongs (flip flops) from now until I return to work next year....haha. They are perfect summer footwear. And my mini MACs will be getting a lot of love too, they are the perfect bags for a day off / weekend. So much so, that I got another Rebecca Minkoff bag for my upcoming birthday! Cooper even helped me unwrap it ;)

Bracelets: the usual plus Hermes pink clic clac

A little bit cloudy and rainy, but still really warm and humid. This top is another one I haven't worn in a while. It's an oldie that used to be in high rotation before the blog, but I started wearing it less often. Took me a while to find it in my blog archives too. I really like the lace detail on the neckline, I need to wear it more often.

Not having much luck with reducing the size of my wardrobe lately - every old item I find and give one last wear to make a stay or go decision I seem to be keeping! At least I'm managing to slow my purchasing.

Casual Summer Singlet and Shorts, RM Mini MAC | Vintage Print on Print, Marco Tagliaferri Bag

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

Necklace: custom Cooper charm by Silhoupette
Top: Jeanswest flower graphic print grey singlet
Shorts: Jeanswest printed denim shorts
Shoes: gifted Havaianas tropical print thongs
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC


Just a casual but comfortable outfit to work from home. I last wore this tank on boxing day last year, it's been almost a year since I wore it last! But I like the print, the super soft fabric, and how light it is for summer. It will stay in my wardrobe for the moment, and I'll try wear it more often to justify keeping it.

This bag I have no trouble wearing a lot - it's the perfect size for the essentials. Rebecca Minkoff have a "holiday hook-ups special" on at the moment, every day there is a new sale or discount. Today's deal is 40% off selected items with the code 'MERRYMINI'. If I hadn't recently gotten a bag for my birthday, I'd be getting the yellow one, isn't it beautiful?

Bag: Marco Tagliaferri first generation Birk bag in navy


And it's been a year and a half since I last wore this top...I definitely have too many clothes in my wardrobe! I've been thinking about pairing the top and skirt together for a while. When I bought the set, I didn't imagine I'd ever wear them together, but have been inspired by the way Sam from Style of Sam rocks the vintage pieces her Grandmother gives her, I thought I've give it a go and wear the pieces together the way they were intended. Apart from the top being a bit uncomfortable and moving around a lot, I think it looked okay. What do you think?

Here's what I wore to work on Friday:

Tee: Threadless girly 'MP(3)' red tee
Skirt: Cheap Monday interrupted stripe skirt in grey
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs suede flats in red
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Balenciaga part time in black 2010 with GSH


Not what I really wanted to wear on Friday, but met the guidelines set down for our team day at work! I got text from colleagues the night before telling me I was required to wear a red top as part of our team uniform. One also said white, and although they corrected it to red later, I thought I would wear the white skirt to be safe. The last minute planning paid off though, and we won best dressed team on the day! :)

First time I've worn this tee in the almost 2 years I've had this blog - I have a big pile of graphic tees that used to be on high rotation and just don't get worn as much now I work in an office. I still hang onto them, because sometimes you just need a good tee!


Last worn: striped skirt, red suede flats, Balenciaga part time bag. First time I've worn this old tee on the blog.

Here's what I wore today:

Necklace: House of Harlow sunburst necklace in silver and grey
Top: Jeanswest 'Kara' coral pleated cami
Jeans: Jeanswest 'spoylt' super skinny jeans
Shoes: gifted black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC


Wore this simple jeans outfit today to take Cooper to have Santa photos done, and to go out for dinner with DH's best mate. (Although I did change into sandals for dinner). This top isn't one that gets much wear time and I was planning to make this its last chance wear before it went in the donate pile. It's tricky to wear as I need a tube top underneath because it's see-through, but I love the style and colour, so it's still staying in my wardrobe for now.


Today I wanted to share the record-breaking attempt by the Animal Welfare League of Queensland to empty all of their shelters before Christmas! In order to help do this, they have reduced the adoption price for one weekend only, this Saturday and Sunday the 7th and 8th December. They haven't relaxed their adoption requirements, just the price barrier. So if you or anyone you know has been thinking about adopting a dog or cat, now is a great time!

AWLQ is where we adopted Cooper. We will always be grateful to the organisation that took in a scared stray, gave him a life-saving operation and put him up for adoption when no-one came to claim him.
