Not the best photo of the dress today as it got caught in the wind - but Cooper looks so cute I had to post this one. It's so nice coming home to his fuzzy little face after a hard day at work.
Really enjoying the warmer weather too, although I'm not quite ready to sport bare legs yet, it's nice to go jacket-less.

Was really cold this morning, so needed a scarf as well as my jacket. Should have fixed my top for photos sorry, it kept riding up a little bit all day. Maybe won't pair these pieces together again, they don't look very good together in the photos.

Cooper looks pretty angry in the first picture - he'd just been barking at the neighbours and was trying to look tough and protective of me! Or maybe he was sulking as they didn't run in fear when he barked...haha. As a colleague pointed out, without my bag on my shoulder the shoes didn't really go with my outfit. I think I should have worn a tan belt instead to match the shoes.

Oh and Net-A-Porter have their US sale on today - worth checking out, some nice items.

More importantly, today is our wedding anniversary :) I'm really blessed to have married such a wonderful man. DH is my best friend and love of my life. DH stands for Darling Hubby! :)

I bought a couple of cute Juicy Couture charms at Reebonz on the weekend, and they arrived today. Thought I'd do a video showing them being unboxed if you're interested. They were on amazing sale so I bought the Christmas bear I'd always admired - even though it's nowhere near Christmas! And the margarita was too cute to resist.

I love the way Reebonz wraps up every purchase so it's like a present!

Better pics of the dress from The Thrifty Kitten:

It's perfect for people like me who can't easily get to the stores, and all proceeds go to the Animal Welfare League of Queensland (where we adopted Cooper). If you're looking for a cute vintage item, check out the Thrifty Kitten! :) Zoe who volunteers there is such a sweetheart too!

From their facebook info page:

Checked Pencil Skirt, Reebonz Valentines gift

Wasn't having a great start to the day, but had a lovely shopping trip with my friend today at lunch and messaged my bestie for a bit so I feel better :)

Here's what I wore today:

Top: Asos pleat front sleeveless top

Skirt: Asos Tailored Checked workwear pencil skirt

Necklace: Freshwater pearl necklace, gifted

Bracelets: the usual

Shoes: Nine West

Bag: Mulberry Bayswater in NVT Oak leather (via Reebonz)

I'm holding an umbrella as a storm was blowing in just as I got home to take photos. The NVT bayswater is notoriously difficult and can't get even a drop of water on it so the umbrella was necessary to keep it dry.

Also got a lovely surprise when I got home - a Valentines present from Reebonz :)
