Lazy Sunday, Underdogs by Pedigree

It was really warm today so we had a very relaxed Sunday. We spent some time in the pool and lazing around in the hammock. One of my favourite kinds of days, just spending time with DH and Cooper.

Rather than just wearing a bikini all day I dressed it up a bit with a sarong too. Here's what I wore:

Bikini: Big W

Sarong: no tag, bought in Malta

Shoes: Cotton On thongs

Beach bag: ThursdayFriday 'Together' bag

No accessories other than my wedding ring as we were in and out of the chlorine pool all day.

In the evening I went to church, and luckily my church is online so I could stay in my comfy sarong ;) I volunteer at church online, http://live.lifechurch.tv/


Also watched a great video today I just have to share - a documentary called "Underdogs" by Pedigree Adoption Drive. It's only 22 minutes long and it's worth the watch if you are an animal lover :) Our dog Cooper was adopted, and I think rescuing a dog is extremely rewarding. We are so happy to have him in our lives.

Failed trip

DH, Cooper and I were going to go to the beach up the coast today with some of DH's mates. They left early this morning and we were going to join them this afternoon as we had some things to do this morning. Just as we were about to get into the car to join them we got a message to say the rain had set in and it was a complete washout. It was good to find out before we made the long trip, but a shame as we were looking forward to it.

As I was feeling comfortable in my beach wear I didn't bother to change all day.

Here's what I wore:

Tee: Jeans west grey frill sleeve tee
Shorts: Jeans west
Bracelets: the usual
Shoes: Cotton On thongs
Bag: ThursdayFriday 'together' bag with birkin print

Covered up with this amazing paisley print jacket from Just Jeans. Got it on sale, reduced from $60 to $5! Weird pic because I'm trying to show you how relaxed it is with the loose sleeves. Really nice to wear.

Hope you had a lovely Sunday and none of your plans fell through because of the weather!

Really casual Friday

Yesterday was a public holiday for Australia day, so I took today off as well to have an extra long weekend.

Busy morning getting groceries and picking up some parcels at the post office with Cooper, and got back home with enough time to snap a pic just before the rain started.

Here's what I wore today:

Tee: Cotton On brown boxy tee ($5 at DFO outlet!)
Necklace: gift from DH
Bracelets: the usual
Jeans: Jeanswest
Shoes: Roxy thongs
Bag: ThursdayFriday 'Together' bag last seen here.

I love how lightweight and easy to carry this tote is - it's great for errands and carrying groceries, leaves my hands free for Cooper's lead. Such a fun print on it too.

Cooper and I then had a very relaxing afternoon at home, perfect weather for curling up together on the sofa!

Not the most productive of days, but a very relaxing day which is just what I needed. Hope you had an equally great start to the weekend.

Oscar's Law Singlet, Cheap Monday Skirt, Tote Bag | Orange Stripe Tank, Shorts, Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC, Video Reveal

Here's what I wore on Monday:

Sunglasses: pink leopard print sunglasses from Paddy's Markets in Sydney
Tank: Oscar's Law pink ladies singlet (from http://www.oscarslaw.org/)
Skirt: Cheap Monday interrupted stripe skirt in grey
Shoes: gifted black slim Havaianas thongs

Just a simple skirt and tank outfit for walking around in the heat. Used a big tote bag as I went shopping in the morning and just wanted to throw all my purchases in one bag. Popped to the stores to get some more wrapping paper, and settled in for the afternoon at home wrapping Christmas presents. However, I actually needed to get some sticky tape too...which I realised halfway through wrapping, oops! I definitely had enough paper though :)

Another relaxing day off and a nice casual shorts outfit. I think I'm pretty much gonna wear thongs (flip flops) from now until I return to work next year....haha. They are perfect summer footwear. And my mini MACs will be getting a lot of love too, they are the perfect bags for a day off / weekend. So much so, that I got another Rebecca Minkoff bag for my upcoming birthday! Cooper even helped me unwrap it ;)
