DH and I were spoiled by our friend who surprised us with a hotel stay for our Christmas present.  We have a few days down by the Gold Coast to relax, which was incredibly thoughtful and much appreciated! The weather has been lovely too.

Spent Sunday by the pool and checking out the local markets, before working at Church Online in the evening. There is no wi-fi in our room and mobile reception is patchy, so I've been instagraming (@awayfromblue) just every now and then. So glad I brought the laptop so I could use the cabled internet and still attend church. The Christmas church service has started, and it is played over 60 times this week at live.lifechurch.tv if you want to check it out.


Last worn: yellow sunglasses, grey tee, stripe maxi skirt, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff canvas stripe mini MAC.

Another relaxing day by the pool! Wore this to go out and about, with dry hair so I didn't have to scrape it into a messy updo like previously, haha!

The necklace is a recent birthday gift from my bestie, isn't it beautiful? Really enjoying wearing maxi skirts this summer, they seem to be my go-to this time. Last summer it was definitely shorts all the way!


Wanted to let you know as well that the international Net a Porter sale has started, so if you have some Christmas money or want to treat yourself to something, now is the time to buy at up to 50% off! :)


Last worn: stripe tank, Havaianas (see above), Rebecca Minkoff canvas mini MAC (see above). First time I've worn the skirt as it was a recent gift.

Friday was such a good day! Had a few last minute pressies arrive just in time (despite one of them being ordered in October!) so I wrapped them in the morning. As it was his last day at work before the Christmas shut down period, DH only had to work half a day so we celebrated the start of our joint holidays by going out for lunch.

Just a casual shorts and singlet outfit today. A hot summer day, so shorts seemed like a good option. Really like the print of this top, although it's been a "maybe keep" option in my wardrobe for a while, I can never seem to get rid of it. Everyone needs a good animal print piece, don't you think?
