LBD, Pink, Purple...and orange again

Four day weekend starts now! Very excited. Going to have a quite night in with DH and Cooper, and I'm looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow.

Got home late again tonight and wore a black dress so that means I had to try adjust the photo colours again...sorry for the Oompa Loompa orange glow!

Here's what I wore today:

Dress: Asos Frill Front Deep Waistband Dress (better pic of the frills on the asos site)
Singlet underneath: Supre purple singlet
Necklace: Chanel from Reebonz
Bracelets: the usual
Belt: Asos Metal Keeper Super Skinny Belt in pink
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs patent mouse flats
Bag: Balenciaga 2005 Magenta RH work

Had a coffee date with a fellow colleague today who I had only ever interacted with through the computer, so we had to describe ourselves so we could find each other. I told her to look out for someone with a black dress and large pink bag, and she spotted me as soon as I walked into starbucks! Haha! You really can't miss me when I'm wearing the magenta work bag! ;) It was a really nice catch-up, always good to meet people away from the computer screen!

If you haven't seen it already, I recently posted a video on youtube showing how the Balenciaga city compares to the Balenciaga work for size. It's a good reference if you're interested.

If you're having a 4 day weekend too I hope you enjoy it. :) If you have to work tomorrow I hope you enjoy Good Friday anyway!

Another Blah Outfit

Not a fan of this outfit. I love the skirt and the top individually, just didn't seem right together. A little bit too much volume I think. Just felt "blah" all day, wish I had worn something else.

Here's what I wore today:

Cardi: Jeanswest
Top: Cotton On Carrie top in grey
Necklace: had it a while, I think Diva?
Bracelets: the usual
Skirt: Valleygirl
Shoes: Rubi black ballet flats
Bag: Balenciaga 2005 Magenta RH work

This necklace is the perfect match to my magenta Balenciaga work bag! :)

Not a good combo

This outfit seemed like a good idea in my head last night, but I put it on this morning and realised it wasn't quite right, with not a lot of time to fix it. Tried to fix it with a belt but changed my mind at the last minute. Felt uncomfortable all day at work.

Won't be wearing this top and skirt together again. The beading on the top made it sit awkwardly at the front and the zip down the back of the top meant it kept riding up. It was very difficult to keep in place as you can see by the wrinkles, think I should have kept the belt ;)

What I wore today:

Top: Just Jeans sequin front black tank
Necklace: Chanel (via Reebonz)
Bracelets: the usual
Skirt: French Connection plaid pencil skirt
Shoes: Rubi silver primo ballet flats
Bag: Balenciaga 2005 Magenta RH work

I covered up with a cardi in the office.

What do you do when you get up in the morning and want to make a last minute change to your outfit? Do you try to fix it, or do you abandon it and go with an old favourite instead?

Indigo Rose Design, new bag: Balenciaga 05 magenta work

Such a busy day today - but lots of news!

First up my friend who makes a lot of the beautiful pieces of jewelry that I wear on the blog has opened her facebook store - check it out! Indigo Rose Design on Facebook! Every piece is designed and handmade by her in Australia.

My ebay impulse buy bag was deemed authentic by the experts at Effen Haute Forum so I took it out today. Very happy! I have been wanting another Balenciaga work for a long time, and I love the colour of 2005 magenta.


Here's what I wore today:

Top: Mei Mei bought in a now closed boutique on a fun lunchtime shopping trip with K
Skirt: Asos tailored tab front pencil skirt in grey
Necklace: Chanel (via Reebonz)
Bracelets: the usual plus 2 freshwater pearl ones (black and white pearls) from Indigo Rose Design
Shoes: Nine west black flats (first seen here)
Bag: New-to-me Balenciaga 2005 Magenta RH work

I covered up with a Jeanswest cardi in the office.

Pics taken by the lovely K from Make Every Move Count, she has volunteered to be my official workplace photographer! She's so sweet.

And a better picture of my new-to-me bag: my Balenciaga 2005 magenta work in regular hardware.
I am so in love.

My bestie has the same bag but in the city style - I need to plan another trip to visit her and get a pic of the two bags side by side!
