The Adventures of Tintin, What I wore, Balenciaga Part Time

Busy day today - first day back at work after the Christmas and New years break, and my sister's generous boyfriend took us all out to the movies.

We went to see "The Adventures of Tintin" movie. It was good. Would love to hear what you thought of the Tintin movie if you've seen it :)

I liked Snowy the dog, he was very cute! I think Cooper is more laid back and peaceful than Tintin's dog Snowy though.

hehehe!


Here's what I wore - I wore the same outfit to work and the movies.

Dress: French Connection Melanie striped sleeveless dress
Belt: Cotton On
Necklace: House of Harlow 5 station necklace in black and silver
Bracelets: The usual plus some freshwater pearl ones made by my friend
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs
Bag: Balenciaga 2010 Part Time GSH

I've made a couple of youtube videos of my Balenciaga part time bag if you are interested :)

This video shows how much a part time bag can hold (and stars the fluffy Cooper):

I have a few videos on my youtube channel of my handbags - I took them to add to the Balenciaga reference library threads on the Effen Haute Forum.

Sad Cooper!, What I wore

DH and I spent the morning taking down the Christmas decorations and tidying up.

Cooper was not amused, as he had been enjoying sleeping under the Christmas tree during December. Here's a pic of him using one of the presents as a pillow!

Cooper sat under the tree giving me the puppy dog eyes when the boxes for the tree and decorations came out! He was very sad to have to leave his favourite spot, but soon cheered up with a couple of treats :)

We went to my parents for dinner in the afternoon. We had a really delicious meal, and spent some time watching old home movies afterwards. Lots of fun!

Here's what I wore:

Top: Jeanswest

Scarf: Gift, Target
Necklace: Chanel (via reebonz)
Bracelets: The usual plus one freshwater pearl one made by a friend and a gifted glass pearl one.
Jeans: Sass & Bide
Shoes: Balenciaga sorbet RGGH studded sandals
Bag: Louis Vuitton MM damier azur neverfull

My parents have recently returned from a trip and brought us some gifts - this beautiful necklace was a Christmas present made by one of my friends. I put it on right away, and loved the way it looked with what I was wearing. Also got some really nice tops for work from my parents and grandparents that I plan to wear as soon as it's cooler.

Feeling very blessed having such generous friends and family :)

Happy New Year, What I wore

Happy New Year! Hope everyone has had a great start to 2012!


Cooper made it through the fireworks without too much stress wearing his little thundershirt. Really good investment as it kept him calm and he only barked once or twice, so we were all very happy ringing in the new year.

After a late night we had a relaxing 1st of January, with dinner at a friends house in the evening. Delicious food and wonderful company, we stayed quite late! Here's what I wore:

Dress: Vero Moda (via asos)
Belt: came with dress
Necklace: Made by a friend
Bracelets: The usual, plus red crystal bracelet made by a friend, and Hermes Kelly double tour bracelet in Rubis
Shoes: New Look
Clutch: Balenciaga Sang 2010 GSH flat clutch

If you're interested I did a short video a while ago showing how much the flat clutch can hold and size comparisons with some other Balenciaga bags.

NYE 2011 What I wore, Sass & Bide sale steals

Hope everyone has had a fantastic 2011 and that 2012 is even better!

Does anyone have any plans for NYE?

DH and I have been out to the shops this morning but are spending the evening staying home watching the fireworks on TV and making sure our dog Cooper isn't too stressed by local displays.

I wanted to wear something comfortable but NYE calls for some sparkle too, so I'm wearing my French Connection foil singlet, RM Nikki metallic silverstreak bag and some blingy jewelry.

Top: French Connection (via asos)
Necklace: Chanel (via reebonz)
Bracelets: The usual plus a swarovski crystal one made by a friend
Jeans: Sass & Bide
Shoes: Cotton On thongs
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Nikki in silverstreak

I also made my last purchase of 2011 - I picked up two tops from the Sass & Bide online sale.

I got the new day rising tee and the musical genius tank. Looking forward to wearing them in the new year :)
If you haven't already, do check out the sale, they add new things to it occasionally.

However you are celebrating, have a great end to 2011! :)
