Here's what I wore yesterday to spend the day at my in-laws and have a BBQ on new year's day:
Earrings: Chanel vintage camellia dangling charm earrings
Necklace: Indigo Rose Design feather, quartz and love charm long necklace
Bracelets: the usual plus Chloe Paddington crystal charm bracelet from Reebonz offline sale, two metal and fabric Indigo Rose Design bracelets and gifted Ferragamo double wrap bracelet
Top: Marc by Marc Jacobs blossom pocket tee in grey (on sale, new purchase)
Skirt: Cotton On metallic lace tulip skirt in frosted almond/silver
Shoes: Asos metallic Freestyle leather sandals
Bag: Balenciaga envelope clutch in 2012 mangue with giant 12 RGGH from Reebonz
Close up of accessories and clutch:
Had a nice relaxing start to the year at my in-laws house with a BBQ and some games. I wanted to wear this skirt and also wanted to carry my Balenciaga clutch, so I tried a mix of gold and silver with this outfit. I'm not sure it really worked, wouldn't pair this skirt and clutch together again. Was pleased with the photo location though - wearing a blossom tee under beautiful purple blossoms!
The sunnies were last worn here, skirt here, shoes here and bag here. This is the first time I've worn the tee as it is a recent purchase.

And here's what I wore to spend some time on the beach with DH today:
Sunnies: gifted Cotton On 'Kirsten sunnie' in yellow
Bracelets: the usual trio
Dress: Zara Printed bib front tunic dress in black
Shoes: Gifted black slim Havaianas thongs (carried in my hand to walk along the sand)
Bag: Lodinatt two level canvas bag in Ivory and Red C/O Lodinatt
So pleased that today had the perfect beach weather after our plans were rained out last week. We headed down to the gold coast to relax and soak up some sun. Although we got stuck in traffic on the way there, the perfect beach weather more than made up for it. Took this photo on our way back to the car so please excuse the wet beach hair! Wore my Zara tunic dress over my bikini to cover up and keep my shoulders hidden from the sun.
The sunnies were last worn here, dress here, thongs here and bag here.

I think the skirt and the Balenciaga bag go well together - the only thing I would do differently is add something to accentuate the waist. Maybe a belt or a top that fit a bit snug.
ReplyDeleteI like your bathing suit cover up!
thanks, I like that idea! A belt would have worked well :)
DeleteLovely outfits ! Especially love the skirt ^^
ReplyDeleteHappy 2013 :)

So cute!! Happy New Year :)
ReplyDeleteThe punches of yellow are so perfect in your first outfit. They're like rays of sunlight among the grey clouds, haha. :) That metallic skirt is such a stunning piece, too!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I love how patient your little pup is while you take pictures. ;) So well behaved!
hehe he is good at sitting, just not good at looking at the camera all the time, haha!
DeleteI really love how you dressed down your sparkly skirt - so cute!

Your sparkly skirt is so cute! So appropriate to ring in the new year. And that beach looks so nice! Believe it or not, Miami locals do not go to the beach in the "winter". The water's too cold. I can't wait till late spring, when it warms up again!
ReplyDeleteHappy new year!

It gets very quiet on the beach here in winter too! Much too cold to swim.
Deletepurple blossom makes me happy! <3 I really like the skirt! I think anything sparkly is awesome! i like how the t-shirt makes it a little more casual which is great for bbq.
