Blue jersey dress

So happy to have such lovely weather for the weekend. The weekend was off to a great start with take-out and a movie night with DH and Cooper last night, it was lovely.

Had a very relaxed Saturday today. Tried to catch up with every one's blogs as I've fallen terribly behind this week. It was a crazy week at work, lots of extra hours. Hoping next week is better.


Here's what I wore today:
Dress: Asos drop waist jersey dress in blue
Necklace: gift from a lovely friend
Bracelets: the usual
Shoes: Cotton On thongs
Bag: Balenciaga 2008 Sapphire RH city with violet tassels

Really like this dress, it's so comfortable and easy to wear. I was halfway to the post office when I noticed the tassels on the Balenciaga city and the tassels on the side of the dress were maybe a bit much though, next time I wear this dress I'll pick a bag without tassels. Doesn't look too bad in the pic, but the tassels swing about a bit when I walk.

Hope you have had a lovely Saturday, whatever you were up to.

A shelter dog changed my life...

Thank you all so much for your lovely comments on my post yesterday. I expect the odd mean or snarky comment directed at me, but it really upset me to see someone saying such nasty things aimed at Cooper.

Today seemed like the perfect day to wear the new tee I bought from the AWL, 'A shelter dog changed my life...' https://www.awlqld.com.au/awl-online-store/category/awl-products/

 

Tee: AWL QLD Shelter Dog grey tee
Necklace: Chanel (via Reebonz)
Bracelets: the usual plus my new Balenciaga Silver Giant Triple Tour Bracelet in Rose Bruyere from HGBags Online
Jeans: Jeanswest
Shoes: Asos flirt leather sandals
Bag: Balenciaga 2008 Sapphire RH city with violet tassels

Lots of people were asking about my shirt today. It was good to be able to tell them all about the wonderful work the Animal Welfare League of Queensland does, and how we adopted Cooper from them. If you're in south east Queensland and looking for a new family member, I highly recommend you check out the AWL. http://www.awlqld.com.au/awlq-adoption/

A better picture of the Balenciaga rose bruyere bracelet:
I ordered this bracelet from the US last Saturday, and it arrived on Thursday. That's 4 business days! To illustrate just how fast that is for those not used to shipping from the US to Australia, the bracelet arrived a day before an item from Sydney, which I had ordered on the same day.
Oh and I used a free shipping code too so the fast shipping didn't cost me a penny! Erica at HGBags is the best - she shipped the bracelet hours after I had ordered it.


Very glad it is the weekend - looking forward to spending lots of time with DH and my adorable Cooper.
