Gold accents, wearing my new Asos purchases

The weather was a little warmer today so my leather jacket has gone back into my wardrobe. Instead I wore my new cardigan and pencil skirt from my last Asos order. Only thing I haven't worn yet is the wrap dress. Added my coquelicot Balenciaga velo and some red flats to add a bit of colour.


Here's what I wore today (sorry for the spot on the photo, need to clean the lens):


Cardi: Asos Cardigan with chain trim (first seen here)
Tee: Cotton On
Necklace: House of Harlow
Bracelets: the usual plus House of Harlow
Skirt: Asos pencil skirt with zip details (first seen here)
Shoes: Rubi flats
Bag:  Balenciaga Coquelicot 2011 RH Velo from Reebonz. Wearing the velo strap doubled up - video how to is here.

Mixing metals isn't everyone's cup of tea, but I don't mind wearing gold and silver jewelry together.


Really liked the outfit in the morning, but then I started to worry it had a bit too much gold. I'm more of a silver girl. Probably won't pair the necklace and cardi together again. Ever had second thoughts about an outfit after wearing it for a while?

Marco Tagliaferri bag again, and more rain

Even more rain today, it called for layers. And dark colours, I always seem to dress in dark colours when it rains. does anyone else do that? Good news is that the repair guy came to fix the oven, so we are able to use the oven for cooking again, yey!

Here's what I wore to work today:


 Dress: Asos Frill blouse contrast skirt dress
Singlet underneath: Jeanswest
Necklace: Chanel (via Reebonz)
Bracelets: The usual
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs patent mouse flats
Bag: Marco Tagliaferri first generation birk bag in navy


I really like the frill on the neckline of this dress. It was cool enough to wear my Jeanswest leather jacket outside too - love this one as it's a similar style to the Balenciaga ones I lust after so much.
Cooper popped his fuzzy little head into the photo to see what I was up to just as the timer went off!

And the video of my bag that I posted yesterday has been shared on the Marco Tagliaferri Bags facebook page! So excited when I saw that this evening.


Hope everyone has had a lovely Tuesday :)
