Just a nice practical outfit for Friday at work, as some people still had to move desks I made sure to wear a long skirt so I could help move and unplug things from under desks as needed. And of course, I wore my MbMJ Fran bag again. It's such a great bag!

Close up of accessories and clutch:

Wanted to wear something comfortable yet suitable for dinner, so I went for a printed dress again. I really like the print on this dress and thought it would go well with my yellow clutch. I need to make an effort to wear my clutches more often, and yesterday was a good day to do so as I didn't have to carry much. The tan sandals seemed like an obvious choice to match the tan belt the dress came with.


The sunnies were last worn here, and clutch here. This is the first time I've worn the dress as it was a recent gift, and first time I've worn the sandals as they were a recent sale purchase.

Just a nice casual outfit to beat the heat today! I was a little worried that this top would be too long to pair with the shorts and I'm not 100% convinced now I see the photos. Won't pair these shorts and that tank together again. What do you think?

Had a nice relaxing start to the year at my in-laws house with a BBQ and some games. I wanted to wear this skirt and also wanted to carry my Balenciaga clutch, so I tried a mix of gold and silver with this outfit. I'm not sure it really worked, wouldn't pair this skirt and clutch together again. Was pleased with the photo location though - wearing a blossom tee under beautiful purple blossoms!


The sunnies were last worn here, skirt here, shoes here and bag here. This is the first time I've worn the tee as it is a recent purchase.

And here's what I wore to spend some time on the beach with DH today:

Hat: Big W white bow detail sun hat
Sunnies: gifted Cotton On 'Kirsten sunnie' in yellow
Bracelets: the usual trio
Dress: Zara Printed bib front tunic dress in black
Shoes: Gifted black slim Havaianas thongs (carried in my hand to walk along the sand)
Bag: Lodinatt two level canvas bag in Ivory and Red C/O Lodinatt

So pleased that today had the perfect beach weather after our plans were rained out last week. We headed down to the gold coast to relax and soak up some sun. Although we got stuck in traffic on the way there, the perfect beach weather more than made up for it. Took this photo on our way back to the car so please excuse the wet beach hair! Wore my Zara tunic dress over my bikini to cover up and keep my shoulders hidden from the sun.

Wore a pretty summer dress to beat the heat today. I don't wear this dress often (this is it's first appearance on the blog) but it's so perfect for hot days I keep it around. The only downside to it is that it's so light and airy it gets caught in the wind a lot. Trying to get a photo this morning when it was really blustery was hilarious. Luckily this one turned out okay! I'll put a couple of others up in the facebook out-takes album for you to giggle at :)


The sunnies were last worn here, and bag here. This is the first time I've worn the sandals as they are a new purchase, and the first time I've worn this dress on the blog although it's a few years old.

The return of the yellow sunnies! After my yellow sunnies broke a few weeks ago I was quite upset as I'd worn them often. My wonderful sister remembered how much I loved my old pair and managed to track down these for me! I love them and you can expect to see them on the blog a lot more often! :) Even had a random guy come up to me and ask where I got them from today which made me giggle.

Just wanted to wear a nice light summer dress for the heat today. Unfortunately I didn't have the chance to take photos until this evening, after the rain clouds had rolled in and given us a bit of a soak! Thongs maybe not the best choice to wear as we walked about on the wet pavements, but it was so hot I didn't want to wear anything fussy.


The dress was last worn here, and bag here. This is the first time I've worn the thongs and sunnies.
