Ombre Knit, Skinny Jeans, Boots, Balenciaga Clutch | Grey Tee, Skull Scarf, Leopard Print Pants, Acne Pistols, MbMJ Karlie Bag

Here's what I wore to spend some time with family on Saturday:

Top: Jeanswest 'Serena' ombre long sleeve knit in 'pavement'
Jeans: Jeanswest 'spoylt' super skinny jeans
Shoes: Asos Cleo leather boots in black
Bracelets: the usual plus Oscar's Law bracelet and gifted Balenciaga classic pearly grey double tour bracelet

Very similar accessories to the last time I wore this lovely jumper, sorry for the repetition! I think red pairs so nicely with the grey. Casual but warm outfit for spending the evening with the in-laws, having dinner and watching a movie. It was quite chilly so even Cooper has his knitted hoodie on! He had been shivering during the day as quite a bit of him was shaved after his operation. We've been putting his little shirts on when he looks cold.


Last worn: ombre knit, skinny jeans, Balenciaga sang clutch, black boots.

Didn't need to carry much today, so wore my Marc by Marc Jacobs Karlie bag as a clutch. This grey Asos tee is perfect comfy weekend wear!

Ombre Knit, Burgundy Pants, Balenciaga Sang Clutch | Grey Tee, Red Skinnies, Chloe Bag

Here's what I wore to go shopping on Saturday:

Top: Jeanswest 'Serena' ombre knit in 'pavement' (New purchase)
Jeans: Jeanswest 'Fiona' skinny leg pant in shiraz
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs studded mouse flats in grey
Bracelets: the usual plus gifted Balenciaga classic pearly grey double tour bracelet
Bag: Balenciaga flat clutch GSH in 2010 Sang


This jumper is one of my purchases from the Jeanswest 40% off sale back in May. It was a sunny but windy day so this was the perfect outfit.  Thought the burgundy of the pants and the red of the clutch would go well together.

I had been considering buying this knit and then when I caught up with my sister she showed me she had bought it and told me how much she liked it. So I had to get my own when the sale came around, of course. My sister and I have very similar tastes!

I'm not always quick to post about new sales, so I made a new page to contain all of the sales and coupon codes I know about, feel free to bookmark it! I post on twitter when I update it. Most recently it's had the Matches Fashion 50% off sale added. Check it out, they have some lovely Alexander McQueen scarves reduced.


Last worn: burgundy pants, studded mouse flats, Balenciaga flat clutch. First time I've worn the jumper on the blog as it was a recent purchase.

Tee: Church Online multiple locations team tee C/O lifechurch
Jeans: Jeanswest Pepper Red super skinny jeans
Shoes: gifted black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual plus Hermes Kelly Double tour bracelet in rubis
Bag: Chloe paddington cross body clutch


Very similar outfit to yesterday's, really drawn to grey and red this weekend!

This is another one of my Church Online team tees, I've worn one previously. It's a little big on me, but makes it even more comfortable to wear! Every year they come up with a new design, I'm pleased to see my collection build with each year I spend on the team.

Apart from working in the evening, didn't do much today. Enjoyed the slightly warmer weather in the afternoon and made sure to spend lots of time with Cooper. He's healing really well, thank you for all your kind comments on my previous post.


Last worn: red skinny jeans, thongs, Chloe bag. First time I've worn the tee on the blog.

Zara Blazer, Printed Singlet, Red Skinny Jeans, Balenciaga Sang Clutch | Khaki Tee, Jeans, Rebecca Minkoff Aqua Mini MAC

Here's what I wore on Saturday to run errands, have an early Mother's Day celebration with family and go out for dinner:

Jacket: Zara frayed basket weave blazer with zips in red
Top: Jeanswest Audrey tonal print tank
Jeans: Jeanswest Pepper Red super skinny jeans
Shoes: Asos Aggie leather western ankle boots in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Balenciaga flat clutch GSH in 2010 Sang


A lot of red today! Wanted to wear something warm. Still not too sure if the jacket and top and all of the red was too much together, but I felt comfortable and most importantly warm all day. Got DH to take a quick picture between a break in the rain, but that was the only time it stopped all day. Boots were the obvious choice, and comfortable for running around in the morning and going out in the evening.


Last worn: Zara red boucle jacket, printed singlet, red skinny jeans, Asos Aggie boots, Balenciaga flat clutch.

Jeans: Jeanswest Super Skinny Jeans in Mid Indigo
Shoes: gifted Havaianas tropical print thongs

Thankfully today the weather was a bit warmer, and a lot less rainy. Didn't have much to to, just wanted to relax today, so a really casual outfit of jeans and a tee. Shocked to find it's been over a year since I last wore this top though, crazy!

Please excuse the water droplets on my mini MAC - got it a little wet from bushing on the leaves of the bush in the photo. Didn't notice till I uploaded the photos, it dried up pretty quickly.

Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day

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

I enjoyed taking a couple of days away from the computer and spending time with my family. Sharing a couple of photos a day doesn't take long but it was nice to stay away from the computer for a while. Thought I'd try do one post to catchup for the missed blog posts. It's a long one, sorry.

Close up of accessories and clutch:

Completely forgot to take a solo picture, so sharing this instagram photo of my outfit instead with my mum, sister and Cooper.

My sister bought us all these fun t-shirts to wear on Christmas eve. I thought it was a great idea, and made me feel very festive as we visited family and baked Christmas cookies. I suspect I'll be wearing the tee again next year! The bracelet had little bells inside so my sister and I jingled everywhere we went :)


The shorts were last worn here, shoes here and clutch here. It's the first time I've worn the tee.

Love the photo of Cooper taking a massive yawn, had to share that one with you all :) Almost looks like he is singing carols!

On Christmas day we went to church, opened presents, had an extremely delicious meal, visited both of our families and ended the day with a relaxing swim in the pool before we had guests around. It was a really busy but family-filled day, it was so nice. The food was lovely and the company even better.

Had a bit of a giggle with my sister when we realised we had both worn blue sunnies, maxi dresses and Balenciaga clutches. We have very similar taste :)


The shoes were last worn here and clutch here. It's the first time I've worn the dress and sunnies, both of which were birthday presents. A lot of my bracelet stack was made up of Christmas gifts.

The shorts were last worn here, thongs here and bag here. This is the first time I've worn this tee as it was a Christmas present.

Wanted to be warm and comfortable today in the cold and wet weather! Picked an outfit I could wear all day, from shopping in the morning to a party at a friend's house at night. Thought this dress was a good pick as it looks great on it's own or with layers like I wore it today. I liked the mix of prints with the leopard scarf so choose pink accessories too. What do you think?

I thought up this outfit last night, but with this skinny belt instead. When I tried it on I thought a thicker belt would be better, but reviewing the pictures afterwards I'm not so sure. I might not try this combo again, not too impressed with the photos. The wind catching the skirt didn't help :P What do you think of the outfit?

Nautical Striped Maxi Dress, Balenciaga Clutch

Nautical is this month's challenge at EveryBodyEverywear. I thought this dress would be perfect, after all it is called the "Nautical" maxi dress!

Here's what I wore today:

Dress: Suboo Riviera Nautical Maxi dress from Reebonz (similar at shopbop)
Necklace: Frangipani necklace gift made by a friend (first shown here)

Belt: red braided belt from Supre
Shoes: Asos 'flossy' flat sandals in tan
Bag: Balenciaga Sang 2010 GSH flat clutch (similar here)

Closeup of accessories:

The dress was also perfect for a picnic! We made the most of the lovely public holiday weather today with lunch in the park with my parents' church. It was good to see everyone, and Cooper got to meet another little Shih Tzu cross doggy called Brady. I didn't take any pictures unfortunately so you will need to take my word for it that Brady is adorable. :) Our family friends adopted him from the RSPCA after they saw and fell in love with Cooper, who we adopted from the AWLQ. They spent a lot of time hunting for a dog just like him, perfect for their lifestyle and medium sized yard. It was nice to see Brady enjoying his new life.

Cooper is the best little ambassador for shelters and adopting, as people who ask about him are usually surprised that he came from a shelter. It's good to be able to tell people about all the wonderful animals waiting to be adopted when they ask about Cooper. It's even better to see another dog getting adopted because his family fell in love with Cooper and knew they wanted a dog just like him - a cute, cuddly, quiet shelter dog who needed a forever home.
