Late night post, as I completely forgot I had to blog today until later in the evening! Was too caught up watching "The Mole" on 7, haha. DH is really into it so I've been sucked in a bit too.
Simple black and red outfit today, nothing spectacular. Was pleasantly warm for a nice change, only needed a light jacket and no scarf.

We couldn't catch a later showing as I had church. We might try again next weekend!

Hendrick Boards Tee, Skinny Jeans, Converse, MbMJ Karlie | Zara Dress, Scarf, Pistol Boots, Mini MAC

Here's what I wore on Saturday:

Tee: Hendrick Boards Adopt Don't Shop grey tee for Chamsky (New Purchase)
Jeans: Sass and Bide strayed misfits skinny jeans

Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs 'Classic Q - Karlie' Crossbody Flap Bag in blossom pink with silver hardware (Reebonz Australia competition prize)


First day of the long weekend means a nice casual jeans and tee outfit! Wearing my fave jeans and my latest purchase, a super-soft tee from Hendrick Boards. Purchasing it also donated $10 to help a rescued puppy named Chamsky.

I found out about the company through an Oscar's Law campaigner. Every tee purchased donates to a shelter, or specifically the care of one rescued animal. For someone like me who wants to help animals and also buys a lot of tees, it's a perfect site! :) I enjoy seeing the updates they post about the neglected animals getting better too. It's nice to see sometimes that there is good in the world. And sometimes, it's fun to wear the tee and hug your adopted puppy while you're on a walk with him!

Last worn: Sass and Bide jeans, Converse, Marc by Marc Jacobs Karlie. First time I've worn the tee.

Tried to take advantage of the last of the warmth today with bare legs! Just a nice casual outfit for running around. We took Cooper to the groomers, ran some errands, and then I had Church Online in the evening. Was pleased it wasn't too cold to go bare-legged, as the boots and scarf helped keep me cosy.

Dress: Jeanswest Aztec print dress
Belt: Black braided belt, came with the dress
Shoes: Asos Aggie leather western ankle boots in black
Bracelets: the usual plus Indigo Rose Design black leather Swarovski beaded wrap bracelet
Bag: Balenciaga RH city in 2008 sapphire


We had a lunch to celebrate our project success and catch up to some old colleagues who had left earlier in the project so I wore my favourite dress. Was such a lovely day and a great reward for all of the hard work.

I tried to do wavy hair again by braiding my hair overnight, it ended up looking great once it fully dried, but again, wet hair for photos. Because I pick my clothes the night before, I just have to getup and get dressed in the mornings. Doesn't leave me time to try fix my hair though, so I think I'll stop trying this braid thing, haha.

Here's what I wore to go to work for casual Friday today:

Top: Ripcurl navy hoodie, with gifted grey logo polo shirt from my work underneath
Jeans: Jeanswest Super Skinny Jeans in Mid Indigo
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs studded mouse flats in grey
Bracelets: the usual plus gifted Balenciaga classic pearly grey double tour bracelet
Bag: Balenciaga Coquelicot Velo (2011 RH)


Very relaxed outfit for casual Friday today! Under the hoodie I'm wearing a team polo shirt that we were each presented with at the lunch on Thursday. It has a large logo on it that I can't really share on the blog. As it's cold in the mornings I usually cover up with a jacket, so this hoodie was a nice casual, comfortable alternative that had the added bonus of covering up the shirt nicely until I got to the office.

The Balenciaga velo seemed like the perfect bag choice, and had the added bonus of covering up the logo of my shirt on instagram! One of my favourite things about Balenciaga moto bags is how versatile they are - I wear them with dresses and heels or dressed down with jeans, they just work in any situation. :)

Took a little video of my bag using Vine now it's on android, for something a bit different. I'm AwayFromBlue on vine, feel free to add me. Thanks to Kim at A Very Sweet Blog for helping me with it!

Last worn: skinny jeans, studded mouse flats, Balenciaga velo. First time I've worn the jumper on the blog, and first time I've worn the polo shirt as it was a recent gift.

Have been wanting to try pink with this jacket since I bought it. While I was contemplating the purchase, I kept thinking if it would really work in my wardrobe. And of course I could see it with greys and blacks and cream...and then I remembered this pink top. Just had to give this a try, as I love pink and blue together. And my favourite jeans of course ;) Glad it's not too cold so I can wear a tank in the office and just a jacket over the top outdoors.

Black: Blazer, Printed Tank, Pink Shoes, Bayswater | Leather Jacket, Grey Pencil Skirt, Heels, Balenciaga Velo

Here's what I wore to work on Tuesday:

Jacket: No label black single button blazer
Necklace: House of Harlow sunburst necklace in silver and grey
Dress: Glassons 'Cassie' printed tank
Skirt: Jeanswest black ponte pencil skirt
Shoes: gifted Novo Carmina fuschia suede flats
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Mulberry Bayswater in Oak NVT leather


Haha to be honest I was too cold to smile properly for the photos! Was warm in the office in my long sleeve top on Monday so wore a tank instead. But it made it really cold taking photos with just a blazer over the top.

The tank print has some pink in it, so I thought I'd wear a pink bag and shoes to match, then worried that may be too much pink and decided to carry the bayswater instead. In the photo you can't see the pink in the tank though, so probably could have worn a pink bag too.


Last worn: Black blazer, Jeanswest pencil skirt, pink flats, Mulberry Bayswater. First time I've worn the top as it is a recent purchase.

Here's what I wore to work today:

Jacket: Asos Black by Markus Lupfer printed leather jacket (New purchase)
Top: Target ruffle sleeve dog print blouse
Skirt: Asos tailored tab front pencil skirt in grey
Shoes: Wittner 'Bloomy' black heels
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Balenciaga Coquelicot Velo (2011 RH)

This is one of the two new leather jackets I bought to keep me warm in this suddenly cold weather. I really like the print as it makes it different from my plain black leather jacket, and it being reduced from $335 made it even more tempting! Felt nice and warm wearing it, it will pop up a lot more often.

Last worn: dog print top, grey pencil skirt, Wittner heels, Balenciaga velo. First time I've worn the leather jacket as it is a new purchase.

One last little note I want to add - If you have heard about the tornado in Oklahoma please consider doing what you can to help those impacted by it. My church, Life Church, has setup a page to show how you can help, and is collecting items for donations if you are local to the area. There is also the Red Cross, and more ways you can help on the NBC site. I've never been to Oklahoma and I only volunteer at Church Online, but many of my team members and the staff I know and work with are there as it's where the church grew. It's been horrible seeing what has happened there, and I'm praying for those who are dealing with the devastation.

And if you are blog-hopping looking for a bit of frivolity to escape the horrible stories on the news, watch this good news story instead. Especially at the 1.30 mark, it's beautiful.

Today was a lovely warm day, the perfect Saturday. I caught up on blog reading in the morning, ran some errands to pick up some essentials to help DH kick his cold, walked Cooper, and just relaxed and enjoyed having some time to rest. Thought this dress was a lovely choice in the morning, but there was the odd gust of wind to catch the hem that had me wishing I had picked jeans, haha.

Dressing slightly more on the business side of business casual this week. I won't bore you with details, but this week I'm getting to work in a new office with a different team of people, some from out of state so I'm being a little more formal with what I wear. The best bit is that I'm getting to work closely with one of my friends from the Sydney office. Felt that a LBD was a good way to kick off the week on the right foot, and heels because I was incredibly nervous and always feel a little more confident in heels.

Last worn: dress, heels, LV Neverfull bag.

Top: Jeanswest sheer white oversized blouse (with white Supre singlet underneath)
Skirt: Cotton On Berney skirt in zinfandel
Shoes: Wittner 'Jasmarie' studded sandals
Bag: Chloe Marcie medium hobo bag in Nut

Tried this outfit together the night before and quite liked it - but really felt uncomfortable in it when I wore it, it just didn't seem to sit right. Won't pair these two pieces together again, I think the oversized top and the peplum were too much together. What do you think?

Belt: gifted Cotton On tan waist belt
Shoes: Wittner 'Columbia' cross strap sandals in tan
Bag: Marc By Marc Jacobs Classic Q Fran bag with gold hardware in carob brown from Reebonz

Thought about wearing my oak Mulberry Baywsater with this but thought it added up to a bit too much tan, so swapped it out for my Fran bag instead. This dress has been sitting in my wardrobe for almost a year unworn as I keep thinking there will be a better event to wear it to. So I decided just to wear it today to work, as it is one of my favourites that hardly gets worn.

Looking forward to having a relaxing 4 day weekend!

There was a bit of a stir at lunch time today - we were all kept inside the office as there was a gunman in Queen street in the Brisbane CBD. It was pretty scary at first, but the police handled it so well and kept everybody safe. We spent most of our lunch huddled round a few screens watching the news streams trying to find out more information. Very relived to see it end safely.
