Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs studded mouse flats in grey

Simple outfit for Wednesday as I had a lot of running around to do at work. This tee is another one of the things mum picked up for me on our shopping trip the other weekend. I love my grey tees! :) Added a bit of colour with my orange Balenciaga bag. It's been getting a bit ignored lately, I've been using smaller bags more often.


Last worn: tartan check pencil skirt, studded mouse flats, Balenciaga rouille work bag. First time I've worn the tee as it's a recent gift.

Excited to share that I was featured as February's Southern Hemisphere Style Blogger over at Tara Honeybird! Go check out my interview here.

Although we missed out on the Zombie Walk and Fright Night this year, I couldn't resist putting Cooper in his little NYPD outfit that my sister brought him back from the US. Cutest little Halloween costume! :)

Did you get dressed up for Halloween today?

I have a little video review of my Fran bag on youtube. It's easily my favourite everyday bag!

Had a big presentation to do on Tuesday, to around 100 people. I was so nervous. The night before I tried on 3 different outfits as I kept changing my mind. After picking one, I changed my mind again in the morning as I got dressed, and went back to this one!
This was a good choice, I felt as confident as I could speaking in front of all those people. It could have gone better, but considering my nerves and the size of the audience I think I did well. :)

Lots of orange today! Last night I read Sheila's first monochrome outfit post and was thinking about what monochrome outfit I could possibly put together for the challenge.... All blue would have been easy (you know I have lots of blue!) but I wanted to try something different.
This dress has been pretty neglected in the cooler weather but now it's spring I will be trying to wear it a lot more. I thought it would work well with my rusty orange Balenciaga bag, and the camel flats are a kind of orangey-tan. I did cheat and add a little beige with a scarf to keep me warm on the way to work in the morning.

What do you think, is it a successful monochrome look?

French Connection Belted LBD, Rebecca Minkoff Nikki | Leona Edmiston Printed Wrap Dress, Balenciaga Work, Reebonz Reveal

Here's what I wore to work on Monday:

Scarf: Marc by Marc Jacobs Island pine-print scarf
Dress: French Connection black dress
Belt: Kmart thin gold glitter belt
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs patent leather logo plaque flats
Bracelets: the usual plus two metal and fabric Indigo Rose Design bracelets
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Nikki in Silverstreak


Simple LBD for a Monday :) It's nice the weather is being appropriately spring-like and I can go without a jacket. Added a scarf for a bit of warmth in the morning, but didn't need it by the time I got to the office. I thought this thin belt would be nice with the dress, I usually wear thicker belts with it, but the thin one works well. Although it would look better if it wasn't coming undone in the photo I guess, haha.

Nice easy dress option again today! We had a manager from another state over so thought this was a nice professional look. A little over exposed with the photo though, I mis-judged in my rush to get the camera setup for photos as quickly as possible as a little rain shower had set in. Cooper didn't want to be in the photo as he had a nice dry spot under a tree and he wasn't moving for anyone! He isn't a fan of the rain.


Last worn: Leona Edmiston wrap dress, studded flats, Balenciaga rouille work.


Just uploaded a video to youtube this evening - reveal of my latest Reebonz purchase. Another Rebecca Minkoff bag! :)

As usual, I bought lots in Jeanswest, haha. Tried to take a photo to show off the colourblocking, as the back of this tee is pink. You can see a better pic on instagram.

I've shared a couple of times on the blog about the presentation group we have had in the office the past two months. Today was the final session where we had to present to the entire department and show them what we had learned. I was extremely nervous! Wore heels for a bit of a confidence boost, and a pretty dress. Was so pleased by everyone who turned up to support us, and all of the encouraging things people said afterwards. I know I have a lot further to go, but I've really improved my public speaking. Had a big slice of cake afterwards as a reward! :)


Last worn: Warehouse blazer, glitter belt, Wittner heels, Balenciaga work bag. First time I've worn the dress as it is a new purchase.


Thought I'd share with you that the Melbourne designed Kiargo and Funkita Form swimwear labels are having an end of season sale! Although it's been too cold to swim in the pool this month and I've just been using it as a photo backdrop, I'm hoping in September I'll be able to enjoy taking a dip now and then. No harm in stocking up on swimwear now while it's on sale ;) I really like the Mansfield bikini for classic pool-side glamour.

Grey Jumper, Asos Blue Lace Pencil Skirt, Mouse Flats, RM MAM | Target Studded LBD, Ankle Boots, Balenciaga Rouille Work

Here's what I wore to work on Tuesday:

Top: thrifted grey Sportsgirl knit with black singlet underneath (New purchase)
Skirt: Asos blue textured lace pencil skirt
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs studded mouse flats in grey
Bracelets: the usual plus Edenborough Evans 'Ivy' silver cuff
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey


Wearing a new purchase and an old favourite today! Took the photos without my trench today to show off the layering better. This jumper is one of the great pieces I picked up at the op-shop at the local festival the other weekend. I think it is actually supposed to be a cropped jumper, but as I'm petite it worked out to be the perfect length for layering! :)

Messy hair and messy scarf today! Although a lady in the office complimented how "put together" I looked, I certainly didn't feel it today. Was lovely of her to say something though. Added the scarf to keep me warm in the office and in meeting rooms, but didn't need it outside during the day and in the early evening. It's starting to warm up nicely now. If only it was as warm early in the mornings too, I'd be more likely to get out of bed and have time to fix my hair before work....haha!

Yes, another long sleeve top, pretty skirt combo. I've been very uninspired this week, sorry! Just so cold and wet in the mornings again, not very nice after our warm weekend. Have to admit, it's been nice to have an easy ready-to-go outfit to fall back on. Although I may have been wearing my skull scarves a bit much - a colleague noticed this one and was amazed I could have a cheerful pink scarf covered in skulls. He's quite amused I have so many colours and variations, haha.


Last worn: printed leather jacket, Alexander McQueen floral skull scarf, grey long sleeve tee, jacquard skirt, patent flats, Balenciaga magenta work.

Here's what I wore for casual Friday today:

Jacket: Wittner Santa Fe cobalt blue leather jacket
Scarf: Alexander McQueen modal and cashmere skull scarf
Top: Topshop grey knitted scoop neck top
Jeans: Sass and Bide strayed misfits skinny jeans
Shoes: Wittner 'Lumen' heel in patent leather
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Marco Tagliaferri first generation birk bag in navy


Jeans for casual Friday! I bought this grey jumper earlier in the year in Melbourne, thinking it would be really practical and I'd wear it often. This is only the second wearing and I'm surprised I haven't worn it as much as I thought I would. This scarf on the other hand, I thought may be a nice neutral I'd reach for now and then, and I'm wearing it a LOT at the moment as it seems to go with everything. Funny how that happens. Maybe points to me needing to understand my wardrobe better before I make purchases?

Do you have things you wear more or less than you thought you would when you bought them? Or tips for how to identify things you won't wear often when shopping?


Last worn: blue leather jacket, Alexander McQueen scarf, Topshop knit, Sass and Bide jeans, nude heels, Marco Tagliaferri bag.

Trench, Skirt, Bal Work, Matches Fashion Reveal | Belted Jumper Over Printed Dress, MbMj Fran

Here's what I wore to work on Wednesday:

Jacket: Temt Black trench coat 
Top: Jeanswest 'Leila' embroidered top (new purchase)
Skirt: Asos tailored checked workwear pencil skirt
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs logo plaque flats in black patent
Bracelets: the usual plus Marc by Marc Jacobs enamel turnlock stripey hinge black and white bangle and Indigo Rose Design black leather Swarovski beaded wrap bracelet
Bag: Balenciaga classic work in 2006 Rouille


I wasn't comfortable in this outfit at all on Wednesday. Think it shows in the photos too, just not a nice outfit. The top and skirt wouldn't sit nicely together at all, bad combination! Such a shame as I like the pieces separately.

The embroidered top is beautiful, the last of my pieces from the Jeanswest sale. It's difficult to make out in the photo, but it has an embroidered pattern on the top panel. Will try get a better picture next wear.


My Matches Fashion sale order arrived to take my mind off the bad outfit though! :) Did a little video reveal for you.

Last worn: black trench coat, checked skirt, patent flats, Balenciaga Rouille work. First time I've worn the top as it was a recent purchase.

Shoes: Wittner 'Mimi' heels in mushroom
Bracelets: the usual plus Chloe Paddington crystal charm bracelet and Indigo Rose Design waxed leather cream howlite beaded wrap bracelet
Bag: Marc By Marc Jacobs Classic Q Fran bag with gold hardware in carob brown


In complete contrast to yesterday's outfit, I loved today's! This look is completely inspired by (or closely copied from!) Wendy from Thankfifi's outfit in this post, which she left in a comment for me as an amazing example of layering a jumper and dress when I asked for tips.

Wanted to wear this jumper, although it was a bit long, so I figured I could fold it up and the belt would keep it in place. It occasionally fell out through the day so was a little fussy to wear. Next time need to try it with a shorter top! Otherwise I really liked the layering, big thank you to Wendy for the inspiration! :)
