Are you sick of this dress yet? haha! I'm not! I'm planning to wear it every week for the rest of my pregnancy, it's just such a good maternity work wear option. Had a big meeting this afternoon so I felt appropriately dressed.

Added some colour with the shoes, bag and scarf as I don't tend to wear a lot of colour with this dress and wanted to change that. The scarf is a new purchase from Reebonz a while back to use up some more of my credits, bought in anticipation of the weather cooling down! I can't even resist sales when the items are for another season!

And yet more sale talk.... the ShopBop friends and family sale is on now! 25% off everything - including sale items! - with code 'INTHEFAMILY14'

Last worn: Soon Maternity wrap dress, cap toe flats, Balenciaga sapphire city (see above). First time I've worn the scarf as it's a recent purchase.

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.

Necklace: Chanel necklace
Dress: Leona Edmiston Paris tassel print wrap dress
Shoes: NineWest Lovelyou studded flats in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Balenciaga classic work in 2006 Rouille


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! :)

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.

Tomorrow is Anzac day, where we honour and remember those who died serving Australia. We will be up early as a family to go to the dawn service. "At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them". It's good to have a break in the work week, and it's good to be able to pay our respects to those who gave up so much for us.

Jeans: Jeanswest Super Skinny Jeans in Mid Indigo
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Marc By Marc Jacobs Classic Q Fran bag with gold hardware in carob brown from Reebonz


Our last day in Melbourne was extremely cold! I was glad I'd bought this comfy knit in topshop on Saturday, it came in very handy. Just a nice casual outfit to stay comfy and warm and get home to see Cooper :)

DH borrowed my camera for the big F1 race so took this at the airport when we caught up after. Had such a lovely time on our trip, you can see some photos on my facebook page or instagram.

Here's what I wore to go back to work today:

Scarf: Target white scarf, gift from mum
Necklace: gift from DH
Bracelets: the usual
Dress: French Connection 'pendragon panache' cap sleeve dress in 'winters day base'
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs patent mouse flats in black and white
Bag: Alexander Wang Rocco with gold hardware in dark argon from Reebonz

Picked this simple outfit for my first day back at work, as we flew in late last night. I thought the greens and blues of the dress would go well with my new bag, although I'm not sure about the textured scarf with the print. Probably should have left the scarf behind, I kept changing my mind about it throughout the day. What do you think?

Took my blog photos a little differently on on Saturday - first time using a proper tripod! Usually my photos are a mix of those taken by DH and those taken on self timer with a gorillapod and a tall object I can put the camera on. Now I have a tripod I can take photos anywhere, so I took these photos while on a long walk with Cooper. I just have to get better at finding a shady spot for photos though!

Thought that the studded shoes would be nice with the studs on the dress, but with the shoes being silver it didn't pair as well as I thought.

Bag: Marc By Marc Jacobs Classic Q Fran bag with gold hardware in carob brown from Reebonz

Close up of accessories and bag:

I liked this outfit today, the only thing I wish I had done differently was the shoes - it ended up being a little wet for open toed sandals! I thought the moss green jeans went quite well with the floral cami. Nice casual outfit for the office and shopping the Brisbane Reebonz sale at lunch time today.
Surprisingly I came home without making any purchases, but if the Balenciaga glycine sandals had been in my size, I would have had a new pair of shoes!

(click to visit the album)

There was LOADS of choice, lots of accessories, shoes, wallets, clutches, bags.....I have some photos from the sale up on facebook. Saturday is the last day for the sale, 11-5 at the Brisbane Hilton.

Rather unintentionally dark outfit when I look at the photos today! I wore the Alexa to add a bit of colour but as it's a greyish lilac maybe I should have went for a brighter bag instead. Very casual again today as it's so warm, just wanted to keep cool outside of the office. This skirt is really comfortable as it has an elastic waist. Was really nice to wear all day.

The sunnies were last worn here, tee here, sandals here and bag here. This is the first time I've worn the skirt.

Nice casual outfit today! It was warm but overcast today, so took advantage of the good weather by going out for a walk and getting lunch with my friend and Cooper. he's giving a big yawn in the photo, he was really tired out after our walk! Decided to wear my new Marc by Marc Jacobs bag as I didn't have to carry much. Still so happy that I won it! It's a really good size for weekends and you can take the strap off to wear it as a clutch too.

Wearing another new to me item today as well - this beautiful silver monogram necklace that Niki from MyNameNecklace.com.au kindly sent me. I've seen a few people around wearing monogram necklaces so it is nice to have one of my own. Really liked the pretty packaging it came in too.

Hope you have had a lovely Saturday :)

The sunnies were last worn here, shorts here and sandals here. It's the first time I've worn this top on the blog, and the first time I've worn the bag as I just received it yesterday.

Just a casual outfit today - I didn't even bother doing my hair! We were really looking forward to the public holiday today, but changed our plans a little with the cold and rain. We watched a movie, and went to visit a friend in the afternoon and take Cooper to the dog park. I thought I'd packed these Asos boots away until next year, but needed to pull them out again today. May have been a little too optimistic with the weather.
