I'll update instagram when I can of course, @awayfromblue. Have a wonderful weekend!

Wearing my new custom necklace from Silhoupette today - it's a little silhouette of Cooper! Absolutely adore it, when it arrived yesterday I was showing everyone in the office who came up to my desk, haha. I ordered it a while ago, and as it was completely custom made it took a few weeks to arrive, but it's definitely worth the wait.

Also, I'm wearing jeans and a tee today as it's Brisbane show day - so everyone in Brisbane has a public holiday for the Ekka. Last year we went to the Ekka, but this year we stayed home. Didn't get up to much as my knee is still playing up a little, trying to do light exercise to build it up again.

You may have noticed a new badge on my blog in the top right, or on my instagram ;)

I'm a blogger for Brisbane DFO! I'm so excited! I often shop the local factory outlets at Brisbane airport, to buy new clothes or presents or things I need for trips. It's somewhere I make sure to take my friends and relatives to when they visit, as there is always something to buy and lots of bargains with things up to 70% off!

The majority of my wardrobe consists of sale purchases, and a lot of them come from DFO. To provide an example, the snakeprint tee I wore Wednesday, and the top and pencil skirt I'm wearing today are all DFO purchases!

Very excited about this new role and looking forward to sharing more about DFO with you in the coming weeks. Thank you to all of my new and long term readers for supporting me and making this possible :) As always, if you have any questions or comments or suggestions, the comment box is there.

Just realised as I was looking up the last time I'd worn this bag that it's been getting a lot of wear lately! Should try use other bags on the weekends and mix it up a bit. It is perfect for weekends and errands though :)

Here's what I wore on Saturday:

Scarf: Cotton On animal print scarf in blue
Necklace: gift from DH
Top: Living Doll stripe 3/4 sleeve top
Jeans: Jeanswest Pepper Red super skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Balenciaga flat clutch GSH in 2010 Sang


Nice casual Saturday outfit. I bought a couple of basics in The Iconic sale last week, this was one of them and I love it. So comfortable and perfect for the weekends. Thought the printed scarf would be nice with the stripes.

Was a lovely day weather-wise so walked to the stores to run errands and took Cooper to the groomers. He needed a trim, his fur was getting much longer and it was drawing more attention to the side of him that was shaved for his op. Now his fur is shorter it's a little harder to notice :)


Last worn: blue leopard print scarf, red jeans, Converse, Balenciaga sang clutch. First time I've worn this tee as it's a recent purchase.

Top: Supre knit loose fit jumper in bahamas
Jeans: Jeanswest blue skinny jeans
Shoes: Asos Cleo leather boots in tan
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Vintage Louis Vuitton speedy 25 in monogram canvas


Felt like something was missing from this outfit - maybe a necklace or scarf? Decided just to keep it simple though for a lazy Sunday. DH and I had planned to head to the beach with Cooper but the constant rain in the morning ruined our plans. Went out for lunch instead, and of course I had Church Online in the evening. If you like movies, check it out, we are watching movies all week.

Very similar accessories to the last time I wore this lovely jumper, sorry for the repetition! I think red pairs so nicely with the grey. Casual but warm outfit for spending the evening with the in-laws, having dinner and watching a movie. It was quite chilly so even Cooper has his knitted hoodie on! He had been shivering during the day as quite a bit of him was shaved after his operation. We've been putting his little shirts on when he looks cold.

Relaxing, rainy Sunday and working at Church Online in the evening. Went out for a while when the rain stopped in the morning, but it had set in by the afternoon. Didn't need to carry much today, so wore my Marc by Marc Jacobs Karlie bag as a clutch. This grey Asos tee is perfect comfy weekend wear!

Just a nice lazy option for work on Wednesday - printed dress and nice bright bag. Although when I had to unexpectedly go to another office for a meeting I did wish I hadn't worn brand new shoes, haha. They've broken in nicely now.

This is one of two pairs of shoes I got in the 65% off sale Wittner had a week or so ago. I'll try get better pics next time I wear them, without Cooper's tail in the way!


Last worn: jacket, belt, printed dress, Balenciaga work bag. First time I've worn the shoes as they are a new purchase.

Relying on the heels, printed dress and big bag formula again today. Not feeling energetic after my long work days so I just want to wear easy comfortable clothes while adding the heels to try look professional. Plus I get to wear my new shoes!

Coloured Denim: Pink Leopard Print and Chloe Ethel | Purple and Vintage Chanel Bag

Here's what I wore to go to the office on Saturday:

Top: band tee from KissChasy "Bones and skin" tour
Belt: gifted Portmans pink leopard print skinny jeans
Shoes: gifted black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual plus enamel coated Marc By Marc Jacobs Katie bracelet in pink
Bag: Chloe Ethel leather satchel in sweet pink

It was a long day, and dark and rainy when I went to take photos, so another indoor shot. Yes, what I wore to the office on the weekend :( We had to come into the office to get more work done on a project. It felt very wrong going into work on a Saturday! Wore these pink jeans and pink accessories to add some cheerfulness to my look. I've always thought the pink leopard print was too loud for the office, but on a day without a dress code they were perfect. The thongs weren't an issue either - there were a few people running around barefoot for maximum comfort!


Last worn: kisschasy tee, pink leopard print jeans, thongs, Chloe Ethel bag.

Here's what I wore to go to a birthday lunch and work at Church Online today:

Top: Just Jeans black lace detail tank
Jeans: Jeanswest blackberry super skinny jeans (New Purchase)
Shoes: New Look black bow detail peep toe heels
Bracelets: the usual plus old multi-coloured bangle set, Indigo Rose Design black leather Swarovski beaded wrap bracelet
Bag: Chanel vintage quilted lambskin flap from Reebonz

Bought these awesome purple skinnies when I went late night shopping after work with my mum and sister. I'd seen them in store and online a few times, but wasn't sure if I could justify another pair of jeans. When we saw them in store this week, they were only $30 so I finally caved and bought them. Such a nice purple, I'm so glad I got them! Dressed up a little with heels as I knew I wouldn't have to do much walking today.


Last worn: lace detail tank, vintage Chanel flap. First wearing of the jeans, and first time I've worn the heels on the blog.

Colour Block Top, Plaid Pencil Skirt, Alexander Wang Rocco | Blue Leopard Print Scarf, Skinny Jeans, Mulberry Alexa Bag

Here's what I wore to work on Thursday:

Top: Cotton On Finland Spliced top in hommus / black / washed orange
Skirt: French Connection plaid pencil skirt
Shoes: Nine West black flats that usually live under my desk in the office
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Alexander Wang Rocco with gold hardware in dark argon from Reebonz

Not too sure about this outfit - maybe a necklace would have looked great with the top? It's definitely missing something. Swapped the pencil skirt out for a pair of skinny jeans when I went out shopping in the evening and felt much more comfortable  Although I wore thongs to and from the office I wore these flats when I was at work, they stay under my desk for when I need a nice pair of flat black shoes. Managed to take this photo when I popped out the office for a bit of fresh air.


Last worn: colour block top, pencil skirt, Alexander Wang Rocco.

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

Scarf: Cotton On animal print scarf in blue (New purchase)
Top: Supre white gathered top
Jeans: Jeanswest Super Skinny Jeans in Mid Indigo
Shoes: Nine West fascinate ballet flats in silver glitter
Bracelets: the usual plus Indigo Rose Design waxed leather cream howlite beaded wrap bracelet
Bag: Mulberry regular size Alexa bag in foggy grey from Reebonz sale

The rain wasn't going away by the time I got home in the evening, so had to take indoor photos. Just like when I started the blog! Only now the clothes rack is so weighed down it looks like it's falling on one side...and my shoe collection has expanded...haha. My push to get rid of most of my heels and replace all of my thongs with sandals and cute flats has meant I've run out of spaces for shoes.
Starting to think I should get up earlier in the morning and get photos then, as it's difficult to get good lighting at the end of the day. Really liked this outfit, just not the photos.

Tried to get a shot of my nails in the detail picture - got a free Ciate statement nail mani at lunch time. First time I've tried caviar polish, so I'm interested to see how it lasts! It's 'lemon fizz' I'm wearing, there is a better pic on instagram here.

Here's what I wore to go shopping today, have my sister over and work at Church Online in the evening:

Scarf: no brand grey knitted scarf
Dress: JayJays feather print maxi dress
Shoes: Rebecca Minkoff 'Beach Babe' strappy sandals in electric pink
Bracelets: the usual plus gifted purple Salvatore Ferragamo 'Vara' leather bow bracelet
Bag: Balenciaga RH city in 2008 sapphire

A few showers on an otherwise sunny day, so added a scarf to keep warm. However the open toed sandals and a maxi dress were probably not the best ideas - the dress quickly got wet and weighed down with the rain, ended up having to change when I got home. Should just keep this maxi dress for dry days!


Last worn: feather print maxi dress, pink sandals, Balenciaga sapphire city. First time I've worn the scarf.

Here's what I wore on Good Friday:

Bracelets: the usual
Top: Cotton On round neck zebra stripe top
Shorts: Jeanswest denim cuff shorts
Shoes: Big W purple thongs
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAC bag in Deep Purple

We had a very relaxing Good Friday, so wore a really casual outfit. It was nice and warm still, which is just what you want on a long weekend. I wear blue and pink together a lot, so thought I'd be a bit different and wear blue and purple together. I liked it, what do you think?

Hope you are having a lovely Easter break. I couldn't let it go by without sharing this video again, one of my favourite songs. It sums up beautifully why Christians celebrate Good Friday and Easter Sunday.

Here's what I wore for a relaxing Saturday today:

Bracelets: the usual plus Marc by Marc Jacobs enamel turnlock stripey hinge bracelet in black and white
Tee: Threadless "I want to be Friends" grey tee (closeup of text)
Skirt: Thrifted black and white pleated striped maxi skirt from AWLQ jumble sale
Shoes: Asos 'flame' leather flat sandals with multi straps
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC with python embossed leather in Aquamarine

After being bitten badly by mozzies the past few days I opted for a maxi skirt today to try shield more of me, haha!
This tee is one of my favourite Threadless tees, it may even be one of the first I bought. You can see a close up of the text here. In one of my wardrobe clearouts I gave it and a few other tees to my sister. When she had a wardrobe clearout recently, I got it back! :) We also discovered that I had given her a tee and then ended up buying myself a replacement for it, but I'm sure that will come up another day. Can't remember the reason I gave this one away, but I'm glad I got it back and it has a funny story behind it now.


Last worn: striped maxi skirt, Asos sandals, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC. It's the first time I've worn the tee on the blog.

Bracelets: the usual
Dress: Jeanswest ruffle neckline animal print dress
Shoes: Wittner 'Columbia' cross strap sandals in tan
Bag: Balenciaga Coquelicot 2011 RH Velo from Reebonz

It was still quite warm and humid after Sunday's massive storm, so wore a nice light dress to the office on Monday. Added a little bit of colour with the necklace and bag. Decided not to belt this dress, although I usually do I wear a belt with it, I actually liked it worn without one today. Was much too hot for Cooper too, he wasn't in the mood to look at the camera! haha.

So I didn't realise just how similar my outfit was to yesterday's until I went to upload the photos! Bright necklace, matching Balenciaga bag, printed dress and sandals 2 days in a row! Just wanted to be comfortable and cool in the last of the heat we are getting, so I'm sticking with what works. At least it's not jeans and a tee, right? ;)
