This was one of the outfits I considered wearing to my training course last week but I ruled it out as being too casual. It came to mind again when I saw this post from LyddieGal wearing the same skirt.Was perfect for today in the office, although with a surprise meeting sprung on me I did wish I had dressed up a little. The only downside to casual days!

I wear the shoes and bag together a lot, but I really like the combination so it's on repeat often :)

So stormy today! Hope everyone was safe and well. I've tried a few times to do this blog post as our power kept cutting out and so did our internet connection, it sounds really fierce outside!

Spent the morning at home listening to the storm and keeping an eye on Cooper. We went out at lunchtime and headed down the coast to enjoy the better weather there and visit the AWL shelter where we adopted Cooper. They had a fundraiser on so we got to have Cooper's photo taken with Santa, it was so cute! Spent the afternoon and evening visiting our families for a while before being back home before the second storm hit. Just a casual outfit to wear to everything today, I thought the coloured jeans would make a nice change.

Very blue outfit today! Thought that the red velo worked well for a bit of colour against the blue, and of course it tied in with the polka dots on my top. Had to share that photo above as Cooper managed to attract the attention of a cat when we were taking photos and it came over to say hello. It then proceeded to cry as we were all ignoring it, haha! Looks like it's yelling at Cooper in the top photo. I gave it a little pat after doing photos, seemed to make it happy.

Went to the Reebonz offline sale in Brisbane today with a couple of ladies from work. There were so many great bags! The sale is still on for one more day - details here at Reebonz.

I've uploaded a few photos on my facebook page here to show what the range of bags was like, and below is a little video of what I bought if you're interested.

Bracelets: the usual trio
Shoes: NineWest Lovelyou studded flats in black

Close up of accessories and bag:

Didn't have my sunnies today - it was a bit bright so I'm squinting a little, oops!

Wanted a simple unfussy outfit for work today, so stuck with a tee and pencil skirt, and added in the red velo for a bit of colour. Although the tee is metallic gold and the shoes are silver studs, I thought they were far enough apart that it looked okay, what do you think? It was nice enough to go without a jacket today - thinking of all my friends in the US who are experiencing really bad weather with the storm. I'm praying that everyone stays safe.

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.

Today is a special day! If you've read my blog for a while or seen the image in my sidebar you'll know I support Oscar's Law. One year ago today, Debra legally rescued Oscar from a puppy farm. Today is Oscar's "gotcha" day, celebrating his first year of freedom. 

Before being rescued, Oscar was stuck in a cage in a puppy farm and used for breeding over and over. Now, he is able to run around on the grass, get love and attention from humans and get to play with other dogs. He can curl up in a blanket when it's cold and play with toys whenever he wants. He can be a dog. You can watch the video below to see how his life has changed. I recommend it, it's such a feel good video. Especially at the end.

Pet store puppies come from puppy mills. That cute little puppy in the window has parents stuck in cages. Don't buy animals from pet stores - buy from a reputable breeder or adopt. I want Oscar's Law so that every puppy farm dog can experience freedom and have the happy ending Oscar has. 

Thank you for reading. You can find out more about Oscar at www.oscarslaw.org

I bought this Alexander McQueen scarf in the US Net-a-porter sale last week, although it's now sold out. The international sale just started yesterday on the UK site, so go check it out :) Would love to know if you buy anything!

My top sale pick is this coral floral skull scarf, I narrowed it down to the coral or the red skull scarf in the US sale but the coral one sold out there and made my choice easier!

Not too impressed with how this outfit turned out today. I like the top belted, but maybe needed a wider belt when worn with this pencil skirt. If I wore the pencil skirt and top together again I'd either use a different belt or tuck the top in. What do you think?


The trench coat was last worn here with the shoes, and the skirt was last worn here with the bag. This is the first time I've worn the scarf and top.
