Belt: Louis Vuitton "comete" bandeau scarf worn as a belt
Shoesblack slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff Swing bag in canary yellow


Still wearing my Rebecca Minkoff swing bag! I really wanted to pair it with the purple maxi dress at least once. Thought the colours worked nicely together. It's gotten much warmer all of a sudden, despite winter being just a week away, so bright colours seemed a good outfit to wear on hot Sunday.

The purples and pinks in the scarf go so well with the dress too, looks like they were made to be paired together, don't you think?


Last worn: havana maxi dress, Louis Vuitton bandeau, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff yellow Swing bag.

BagRebecca Minkoff Swing bag in canary yellow


Much more casual outfit today (although still with the same bag...) as I wanted to be comfortable out and about doing the grocery shopping I didn't get to do on Sunday as DH had a work event. Again, was warm enough to go sleeveless and not worry about adding any extra layers. Really doesn't feel like the end of Autumn!

Don't think I've ever paired orange and yellow together before - but I liked it. It was funny to come across Wilfully Elegant's latest post today where she paired the same colours together too. Must be the warm weather we are both experiencing, or the fact that great minds think alike!

On Friday my sister and I went into the city for lunch, shopping, and to check out the Reebonz handbag sale at the Hilton. Although I fell in love with a Balenciaga tote bag (out of my budget now with baby on the way) and a Marc by Marc Jacobs wallet (vetoed by my sister as she didn't like the colour) we left the sale empty handed.

Was still a great day though. We had fun shopping after lunch, and had dinner and watched a movie in the evening. Not entirely sure why Queen Street Mall had these decorated horses, but lined up with the tourists to have my photo taken anyway. Something a little different!

This was a nice simple outfit, good for walking around all day, and the dress accommodated both the baby bump and all of the delicious food we ate! Had been wanting to try pair this tunic dress with leggings since I worried it was getting a little short in the second trimester with the bump in the way. Pleased I got a chance to give it a try in the third trimester, was much more comfortable with the leggings underneath.


Last worn: Ray Ban Wayfarer, printed Zara dress, gold glitter belt, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff yellow Swing bag.

Enjoyed the dress and leggings combo yesterday, so wore it again today for a relaxing day. Didn't need a belt though as this dress has it's own built-in belt attached :) Spent some time with the in-laws, they've picked their "grandparent names" for baby to call them. Baby will be extremely lucky and spoiled by both sets of grandparents.

It's currently the Memorial Day weekend in the US, so there are a lot of sales online. I've listed a few below, and I always keep the sales and discounts list up to date as well.


All of the above ship to Australia too. Happy shopping!
