SkirtJeanswest zip detail ponte pencil skirt
ShoesWittner 'Bloomy' black heels
Bracelets: the usual
BagMarc by Marc Jacobs Classic Q Hillier Hobo in blush pink with silver hardware


I had this top taken in a little at the tailor on the weekend so it fit perfectly. I even braved the cold to take a photo showing the gorgeous lace detail, it extends down the back too. It was a lovely gift from my mum. Added a blazer over the top for work, and when I went out for a birthday dinner in the evening I swapped the skirt for a warmer pair of skinny jeans.


Last worn: earringspencil skirt, bloomy heels, Marc by Marc Jacobs Hillier hobo. First time I've worn the top.

Comfort won out today - tried to make a nice casual grey tee more suitable for the office with a pencil skirt. Added a blazer in case there were any impromptu meetings. Busy day as we tried to get everything finished in anticipation of our day off tomorrow.

Tomorrow is Anzac day, where we honour and remember those who died serving Australia. We will be up early as a family to go to the dawn service. "At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them". It's good to have a break in the work week, and it's good to be able to pay our respects to those who gave up so much for us.


Last worn: grey tee, pencil skirt, suede shoes, Balenciaga coquelicot velo.

Here's what I wore to work on Tuesday:
JacketZara frayed basket weave cardigan in blue
Scarf: Cotton On white pashmina
Bracelets: the usual
Dress: gifted Valleygirl floral ruffle top dress
BeltJeanswest black braided belt that came with this Aztec Print dress
ShoesMarc by Marc Jacobs Logo Plaque Flats in Two Tone blush and black
BagMarc by Marc Jacobs Classic Q Hillier Hobo in blush pink with silver hardware


This dress was another piece my sister gave me after her wardrobe clear out. I really like the floral print and ruffle top. I thought the pink and blue matched well with it, even the shoes, but Cooper's managed to cover them with his fluffy tail, haha!
My hair is tied up as I got absolutely drenched on the way to work after leaving my umbrella at home. I tried to think my messed up hair was "natural waves" as it dried but really it was just messy, so tied it back for the office.


Last worn: Zara cardi, white pashmina, Marc Jacobs flats, Hillier hobo bag.

A lot of these pieces have been worn together before, and the outline of this outfit is very similar to yesterday's with the ruffle top! The dreary weather hasn't left me very inspired lately. This time next week I'll be in Melbourne though, I hear it's glorious sunshine there and I'm hoping it sticks around for our arrival!

It was a little cool and rainny so I wore boots and a cardi to keep warm. I've seen a lot of people belting jackets and cardis lately so wanted to give it a try - this was the perfect dress to try it with I think. Really liked it, will definitely be wearing it again in future :)

Close up of accessories and bag:

I was hunting through my wardrobe earlier in the week looking for a particular black top - that I decided not to wear anyway once I found it - and came across this top. I really love the colours and print on it, but I haven't worn it much, which is a shame. Last time I wore it was January 2011. It's crazy that I can let such a pretty top go unworn for over 2 years, and that I have enough clothes in my wardrobe to allow that to happen!!!


The jeans were last worn here, shoes here and bag here. This is the first wearing of the top on the blog.

My casual Friday outfit today was panned around this gorgeous new tank. My online order from the jeanswest 40% off sale arrived yesterday and this was my favourite item.

Unfortunately this is the last wearing of my awesome yellow sunnies on the blog as they broke this afternoon. :( I guess that's what I get for buying $10 sunnies. You get what you pay for!

Nice simple outfit for a Monday today. It was quite warm so I didn't need a jacket, although of course I wrapped up in a scarf at work as the aircon is too cold while I'm still feeling sick.

Have you been buying anything in the bargains online? I created a Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals thread at the Effen Haute forum to list all of the amazing sales on at the moment. I've almost finished my Christmas shopping now, just a couple of people I still have to buy for. Still haven't written my Christmas cards yet though, very behind on that front!

This top has such nice embroidery on it I felt bad hiding some of it under the pencil skirt, but it works so well that way for the office! It got lots of compliments today as well. Thought my pink accessories were a nice touch with the black and white.

The top was provided to me by the new Brisbane based brand Poppywinkle. Isn't it beautiful? I was generously allowed to choose some items from their current (and future!) collections for free. Looking forward to sharing more of the pieces in future posts. There is something special coming up for my readers soon as well :)

Matches Fashion have revamped their website for Aussies so that customs fees and taxes are now included in the prices, and for a limited time they have free shipping to Australia with code "AUSFREE". Enjoy :)

The sunglasses were last worn here, skirt here, shoes here and bag here. It's the first time I've worn this top.

Funny smiles in the photos today courtesy of a very busy car park - as you can see there were people behind me so I was hurrying to take pictures and leave before they asked what we were doing!

I said yesterday I really wanted to wear my new skirt but thought I'd better wait for warmer weather. I decided to wear it today anyway and just layer to keep warm. It's such a pretty skirt! Love the metallic lace, really nice. Only had one very informal meeting today, so was a good day to wear the skirt. I thought the blazer would make it formal enough for the office. It generated a lot of comments today as it reflects the light - a really pretty piece, so happy with it for only $5!


The blazer was last worn here, shoes here and bag here. This is the first time I've worn the skirt as it is a new purchase, and the first time the grey tee has been on the blog although I've had it a while.

We had such a fun day at the Gold Coast Pet and Animal Expo. We got a lot of freebies, bought at lot, learned a lot and Cooper had some fun meeting the other animals of all shapes and sizes!



Definite highlight for me was the Oscar's Law stall where I spent a good amount of time talking to one of the lovely volunteers there about how to do more to help bring change and see the end of puppy farms. Would be so nice to see an end to puppy farms in Cooper's lifetime.

Cooper was too worried about the mobile hydrobath next to the Oscar's Law stand to turn and smile for the photo. He was scared it was bath time!

Jeans, Shelter Dog Tee, Marc by Marc Jacobs HIllier Hobo Bag

Here's what I wore to have lunch with a friend, go on a walk with Cooper, and work at Church Online today:
Sunnies: Pink leopard print sunglasses from Paddy's Markets in Sydney (similar here)
Tee: AWL(Animal Welfare League) QLD Shelter Dog grey tee
JeansSass and Bide "straight up" jeans (similar here)

Bracelets: the usual plusorange resin bangle from the Ekka, pink fairy floss 'Plastic Fantastic' bracelet by Meekz Contemporary Jewellery and orange agate bracelet from Paddy's Markets in Sydney


Today there were Oscar's Law rallies in Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney. Although there were none in Queensland for me to attend, I wore this tee today in support. Our little shelter dog Cooper makes us smile every single day. I hope that Oscar's Law is made into law and puppy mills are banned in Australia so that thousands of abandoned shelter dogs can go to a forever home where they will make their new family smile every day too.


The tee was last worn here, jeans here and shoes here. This is the first time I've worn the bag as it's a new purchase.
