Yes, another long sleeve top, pretty skirt combo. I've been very uninspired this week, sorry! Just so cold and wet in the mornings again, not very nice after our warm weekend. Have to admit, it's been nice to have an easy ready-to-go outfit to fall back on. Although I may have been wearing my skull scarves a bit much - a colleague noticed this one and was amazed I could have a cheerful pink scarf covered in skulls. He's quite amused I have so many colours and variations, haha.

Here's what I wore for casual Friday today:

Jacket: Wittner Santa Fe cobalt blue leather jacket
Scarf: Alexander McQueen modal and cashmere skull scarf
Top: Topshop grey knitted scoop neck top
Jeans: Sass and Bide strayed misfits skinny jeans
Shoes: Wittner 'Lumen' heel in patent leather
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Marco Tagliaferri first generation birk bag in navy


Jeans for casual Friday! I bought this grey jumper earlier in the year in Melbourne, thinking it would be really practical and I'd wear it often. This is only the second wearing and I'm surprised I haven't worn it as much as I thought I would. This scarf on the other hand, I thought may be a nice neutral I'd reach for now and then, and I'm wearing it a LOT at the moment as it seems to go with everything. Funny how that happens. Maybe points to me needing to understand my wardrobe better before I make purchases?

Do you have things you wear more or less than you thought you would when you bought them? Or tips for how to identify things you won't wear often when shopping?


Last worn: blue leather jacket, Alexander McQueen scarf, Topshop knit, Sass and Bide jeans, nude heels, Marco Tagliaferri bag.

A little pink and blue again. To be completely honest, I didn't need the scarf for warmth at all, I just really wanted to wear it and the tank together. Was glad to have it in the office though, it kept me warm when we had a meeting in one of the freezing meeting rooms, haha.

Here's what I wore to go to the movies today:

Sunnies: gifted Cotton On 'Risky Business' sunglasses in sky blue
Scarf: Alexander McQueen modal and cashmere skull scarf
Dress: Suboo Riviera Nautical maxi dress
Belt: Asos skinny boyfriend belt

So nice to go jacket-less today! It was really warm and sunny. A maxi dress seemed like a nice alternative from jeans and a tee as DH and I went out to the movies. The scarf was nice to keep me cosy in the aircon at the cinema. We finally got to see "The Internship" movie we had tried to see last weekend but missed out on when it sold out. Quite a good film, made us giggle.
Had a skype date with the family in the evening, catching up on what my sister has been up to overseas.


Last worn: sunglasses, brown skull scarf, belt, striped maxi dress, Acne Pistol boots, snakeskin clutch.

Leather Jackets, Skinny Jeans and a Tee, Alexander McQueen Pink Skull Scarf, Balenciaga City and Day Bags

Here's what I wore to work for Casual Friday:

Jacket: Asos Black by Markus Lupfer printed leather jacket
Scarf: Alexander McQueen skull scarf white/pink modal (on sale! New purchase)
Top: Cotton On Salta peasant top in black / gardenia star gazer print
Jeans: Cotton On grey skinnies

Wet and rainy Friday, so boots were the perfect footwear choice :) Brightened up my outfit with my new skull scarf and a colourful Balenciaga. I wasn't too sure about the mix of prints with the pattern on the jacket, star print on the tee and skulls on the scarf, but I think it all worked together. Feel free to tell me otherwise and leave me tips for how to do it better in a comment! :)


Last worn: Markus Lupfer jacket, star print tee, grey skinny jeans, Asos black boots, Balenciaga sorbet city. First time I've worn the scarf as it is a recent purchase.

Here's what I wore to take Cooper to the vets today and have a relaxing Saturday:

Jacket: Wittner Santa Fe cobalt blue leather jacket
Scarf: Alexander McQueen skull scarf white/pink modal
Tee: Roger and Peach screen printed doily heart tee in lilac bought at the Rocks Markets in Sydney
Jeans: Sass and Bide "Straight up" jeans
Shoes: Nine West fascinate ballet flats in silver glitter
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Balenciaga giant hardware Day bag in 2009 tempete


Really like my new scarf, so wearing it two days in a row! :) This lilac and cobalt combination was another outfit I had thought of when considering the purchase of the leather jacket. Think the colours worked out nicely. A pink or purple bag would have been good, but picked my Bal day as I had a bit to carry around.

Thank you all so much for your kind comments, prayers and messages about Cooper and his health lately. Special thank you to Pat from Shoes of Prey who sent me a lovely email. Cooper is doing really well, although we still have to keep an eye on how much walking and running he does for a little longer until his wound is completely healed after surgery. The vet has given him the all clear, which is great! So nice to have good news!

Last worn: Cobalt leather jacket, lilac heart tee, Sass and Bide jeans, glitter flats, Balenciaga day bag. Scarf was last worn yesterday (see above!).

Orange Jumper, Skinny Jeans | Cobalt Leather Jacket, Yellow Tee, Pink Skull Scarf, Nude Heels, Chloe Marcie Hobo Bag

Here's what I wore to work from home on Thursday:

Jumper: Vintage David Jones orange wool knit jumper from AWLQ vintage sale
Jeans: Jeanswest Super Skinny Jeans in Mid Indigo
Shoes: Cotton On thin strap thongs in black
Bracelets: the usual


A very simple yet cosy outfit to work from home on Thursday. I had to monitor Cooper as he recovered from his surgery on Wednesday, he was still a bit drugged up! 10 days of bed rest have been prescribed and he's not allowed to go for walks or play any strenuous games. This quick photo in the back yard as I took him out for some fresh air was all I could manage, as he wasn't happy being picked up and needed to be supervised constantly.

Cooper slept a lot, so I did manage to complete all of my work, and also list a few items on ebay. Feel free to checkout my auctions :)


Last worn: orange knit, skinny jeans, black thongs.

Back in the office for casual Friday and a couple of meetings, and my turn to have a break from Cooper-watching. He is much more like himself today though, it is good to see.  He will be missing from the blog for a while as he recovers.

Decided on a bright cheerful outfit as it was a slightly overcast morning. Although you can't tell in the photos as it's a bit too overexposed to compensate, sorry! The yellow in the scarf matches the yellow in the shirt quite nicely I thought. It's not yellow and pink leopard print, which Sam rocks and I plan to try one day, but it was nice.


Last worn: Sunnies, cobalt leather jacket, Alexander McQueen scarf, Sass and Bide jeans, Wittner heels, Chloe Marcie. First time I've worn the tee as it's a recent purchase.

Here's what I wore to work and out to a team celebration on Thursday:

Necklace: House of Harlow 5 station necklace in black and silver
Dress: Jeanswest Aztec print dress
Belt: Black braided belt, came with the dress
Shoes: Asos Aggie leather western ankle boots in black
Bracelets: the usual plus Indigo Rose Design black leather Swarovski beaded wrap bracelet
Bag: Balenciaga RH city in 2008 sapphire


We had a lunch to celebrate our project success and catch up to some old colleagues who had left earlier in the project so I wore my favourite dress. Was such a lovely day and a great reward for all of the hard work.

I tried to do wavy hair again by braiding my hair overnight, it ended up looking great once it fully dried, but again, wet hair for photos. Because I pick my clothes the night before, I just have to getup and get dressed in the mornings. Doesn't leave me time to try fix my hair though, so I think I'll stop trying this braid thing, haha.


Last worn: Aztec dress, belt, Asos ankle boots, Balenciaga sapphire city.

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

Top: Ripcurl navy hoodie, with gifted grey logo polo shirt from my work underneath
Jeans: Jeanswest Super Skinny Jeans in Mid Indigo
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs studded mouse flats in grey
Bracelets: the usual plus gifted Balenciaga classic pearly grey double tour bracelet
Bag: Balenciaga Coquelicot Velo (2011 RH)


Very relaxed outfit for casual Friday today! Under the hoodie I'm wearing a team polo shirt that we were each presented with at the lunch on Thursday. It has a large logo on it that I can't really share on the blog. As it's cold in the mornings I usually cover up with a jacket, so this hoodie was a nice casual, comfortable alternative that had the added bonus of covering up the shirt nicely until I got to the office.

The Balenciaga velo seemed like the perfect bag choice, and had the added bonus of covering up the logo of my shirt on instagram! One of my favourite things about Balenciaga moto bags is how versatile they are - I wear them with dresses and heels or dressed down with jeans, they just work in any situation. :)

Took a little video of my bag using Vine now it's on android, for something a bit different. I'm AwayFromBlue on vine, feel free to add me. Thanks to Kim at A Very Sweet Blog for helping me with it!

Last worn: skinny jeans, studded mouse flats, Balenciaga velo. First time I've worn the jumper on the blog, and first time I've worn the polo shirt as it was a recent gift.

Have been wanting to try pink with this jacket since I bought it. While I was contemplating the purchase, I kept thinking if it would really work in my wardrobe. And of course I could see it with greys and blacks and cream...and then I remembered this pink top. Just had to give this a try, as I love pink and blue together. And my favourite jeans of course ;) Glad it's not too cold so I can wear a tank in the office and just a jacket over the top outdoors.

Pretty much wearing the exact same outfit as the last time I wore this dress, only with a leather jacket this time. It just works so well with boots and a Balenciaga, haha. A nice easy outfit so you can see why I've repeated it. The photos don't show the detail the best, so as requested on my last post, I took a close up of the print on the jacket on instagram.

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

Jacket: Wittner Santa Fe cobalt blue leather jacket (New purchase)
Top: Cotton On 'eternity' tank in charcoal marle
Jeans: Sass and Bide strayed misfits skinny jeans
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs studded mouse flats in grey
Bracelets: the usual plus Lovisa 'Collette by Collette Dinnigan' twisted bow charm and heart charm silver bracelets and Edenborough Evans 'Ivy' silver cuff
Bag: Mulberry regular size Alexa bag in foggy grey


Only found out that Wittner made leather jackets when this beautiful blue was one posted on their instagram a while ago. I kept thinking about it and eventually ordered it, along with the leather jacket from Asos above. I usually have a difficult time finding nice leather jackets so I thought if I get two, I might get lucky with one of them and could return the one that didn't work. Of course I kept them both. The colour and leather on this jacket are amazing. Bags are my go-to splurge items, but I made an exception in this case. I'm so pleased with it! :)

Unfortunately, today we had a really important meeting this afternoon, I had forgotten about. Since we were asked to dress more formally than the usual casual Friday wear, my friend and I popped out at lunchtime to shop so I could get a jumper to cover up my bare shoulders with! :)


Last worn: grey marle tank, Sass and Bide jeans, studded shoes, Mulberry Alexa. It's the first time I've worn the jacket as it's a new purchase.

This jacket was perfect one to keep me warm yet show off my new bracelet with the cropped sleeves, so it was the obvious choice to wear :)

Interesting day today! Spent the day relaxing before heading into the office. Scheduled this post as I'm going into the office to work this evening. We get to wear casual clothes, so my awesome Church Online tee gets an outing. One of the many perks for volunteering at Church Online, they keep my tee collection growing :) Took a different detail shot today to show off the back.

The project I've been working on for over a year is going live this weekend, and that's why we are working. I'm extremely excited, so working on a Saturday night doesn't seem so bad. My favourite team members will be there in the office too. Wish us luck! :)

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.

The service was very moving, even the priest was tearing up as he told a war story. Lots to be thankful for. It warmed up to a lovely sunny day, so changed out of the layers and warm footwear as we took Cooper out for a walk. The sunglasses were needed as it was bright, but also appreciated having them to hide my tired eyes!

Added pink sandals and a fun bag too though, it was Friday after all!
