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!

Riverfire was really amazing. There was great company and the best view point we have ever had, I really enjoyed it. Thought I would share one of my favourite photos that I took. There are more on instagram if you're interested.

Had to fly to Sydney again today for work, pretty long day it was a very early flight in the morning. I never feel right getting up before the sun! This outfit seemed perfect last night when I planned it but I liked it less as the day went on. I think with a loose blazer I need a more fitted top underneath? Will do it differently next time!

Alice from DinoDirect contacted me to some time ago offer me a voucher to spend on clothes on the website, and I picked this jacket as I thought it would be perfect for spring. It was a little windy this evening taking photos so it was tricky to get a good one of the jacket as it kept catching in the wind. The only non-windy one picture when I'd taken the jacket off, and then Cooper decided to stand right in front of me, hehe!  Just had to share that one.

I like that I can share these kinds of silly photos with you all. I'm not doing a massive full scale photoshoot production for every blog post, I'm just taking a picture of what I wear every day hoping to get some feedback and suggestions for my next outfit :) Thank you all for reading.


Don't forget to check out my facebook Reebonz goodie bag giveaway! It ends on Friday.
