I really like pink and blue together, so went with all pink accessories today!

This morning DH and I had to brave the shops after we had a minor miscommunication. We have a party coming up, and we were each under the impression that the other had organised the gift, when neither of us had. It wasn't as busy at the stores as I thought it would be, although there are certainly a lot of sales around. We ended up sticking to just getting what we needed, having lunch and getting home again. The pool was calling so I will have to spend my Christmas gift cards another time ;)

Have you shopped the post-Christmas sales in person yet?

Sales and Outfits! | Christmas Day Dress, Boxing Day Maxi Skirt, LV Neverfull Tote Bag

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas with friends and family!

Here's what I wore on Christmas day:
away from blue asos printed maxi dress christmas tree presents

away from the blue louis vuitton damier neverfull gold pearl diamante bracelet stack
Necklacecustom Cooper charm by Silhoupette
Dress: Asos biker print maxi dress
Shoes: Wittner 'Columbia' cross strap sandals in tan
Bracelets: the usual plus gifted gold bangle set
BagLouis Vuitton MM damier azur neverfull


Knew this dress would be perfect to wear for Christmas. I've had it an embarrassingly long time without wearing it as it was too long, but had it shortened last week so it's much more wearable now. It has a dipped hem, but unfortunately you can't see it well in the photos as Cooper sat right in front of it! The bracelets were a birthday gift which worked perfectly with the dress.

We had a wonderful Christmas day with church in the morning, lunch at the in-laws and dinner at my parents. My sister and I received a matching pair of onesies as a Christmas gift, so near the end of the day we had changed out of our dresses and were sitting around in our onesies, haha!


Last worn: Wittner sandals, Louis Vuitton neverfull bag. First time I've worn the dress on the blog.



Here's what I wore today:
Australian Summer Outfit statement necklace pink tank jersey maxi skirt

We stayed at my parent's place overnight, so we got to spend Boxing Day together today. Had the chance to wear some of my new Christmas goodies! I'd asked for bracelets for gifts and got so many nice ones that it was hard to choose what to wear first, but thought these beaded ones would go nicely with the necklace I'd packed.

Had a huge breakfast, leftovers for lunch and dinner and spent some time in the pool to cool off. It's been a busy few days for us with a bit of travel, but it's been wonderful spending time with family. Was so good to relax and spend time with everyone, as well as seeing everyone starting to use and enjoy their Christmas presents.
