Was very lazy when deciding what to wear today - used a lot of the same accessories from yesterday! It was a really warm sunny day so didn't want anything too fussy to wear, a dress was a good choice.

I have some very exciting news to share as well - Bevel Trunk Shows is launching tomorrow!
It's an invite only website that provides a virtual trunk show. A set of designers present the best pieces of their collections, and you have the chance to buy the pieces that appeal to you. It's like a traditional trunk show, only online! Each trunk show has a limited number of pieces from each designer available to make it even more exclusive. You can read more about it here.

The best bit is you can get access using the code "NYC150" and they ship internationally too! I'm looking forward to checking out the site when it goes live, at 12pm EST on 28th November. (6am Thursday Brisbane time).


The sunnies were last worn here, dress here, shoes here and bag here.

Had to wear "business casual" for a training course today. I left it to the last minute to check the dress code so spent a bit of time last night trying on a few outfits to wear. I always want to make a good impression on external training courses, but at the same time I didn't want to look too dressed up if everyone was wearing jeans. After about half an hour I was having no luck picking clothes so skipped that step and picked a bag instead.

This Marco Tagliaferri bag is perfect for fitting in notes and presentation packs that you accumulate on courses, plus anything else that arises. Once I had the bag, I ended up picking out this blue dress to compliment it in a few minutes. Sometimes it pays to pick accessories first! I'm much better at picking a bag for an occasion than I am picking out an outfit. ;)

How do you get dressed for events? Do you pick accessories first or last?
