Christmas Eve: Asos Black Beaded Necklace Dress, Louis Vuitton Neverfull

Here's what I wore on Christmas eve:

Sunglasses: gifted Cotton On 'Kirsten sunnie' in yellow
Dress: Asos tribal necklace dipped hem black dress
Shoes: Wittner 'Jasmarie' studded sandals
Bracelets: the usual
BagLouis Vuitton MM damier azur neverfull

Thought this dress would be a good thing to wear on a very hot Christmas eve, and the built in beading means no extra accessories were needed! I bought this dress years ago, but it doesn't get worn often as it's hand wash only because of the delicate beading. It's so comfortable I should wear it more often! I'm pleased how many nice pieces I'm finding in my wardrobe when I make an effort to wear more of what I own and buy less.


Scheduled this post as I will be away from the computer on Christmas day, spending the day with family. I hope you have a wonderful and safe Christmas, however you celebrate.

(The cute Cooper image we put in our Christmas cards this year!)


Last worn: yellow sunglasses, studded sandals, Louis Vuitton neverfull. First time I've worn the dress on the blog.

DH and I were spoiled by our friend who surprised us with a hotel stay for our Christmas present.  We have a few days down by the Gold Coast to relax, which was incredibly thoughtful and much appreciated! The weather has been lovely too.

Spent Sunday by the pool and checking out the local markets, before working at Church Online in the evening. There is no wi-fi in our room and mobile reception is patchy, so I've been instagraming (@awayfromblue) just every now and then. So glad I brought the laptop so I could use the cabled internet and still attend church. The Christmas church service has started, and it is played over 60 times this week at live.lifechurch.tv if you want to check it out.


Last worn: yellow sunglasses, grey tee, stripe maxi skirt, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff canvas stripe mini MAC.

Another relaxing day by the pool! Wore this to go out and about, with dry hair so I didn't have to scrape it into a messy updo like previously, haha!

The necklace is a recent birthday gift from my bestie, isn't it beautiful? Really enjoying wearing maxi skirts this summer, they seem to be my go-to this time. Last summer it was definitely shorts all the way!


Wanted to let you know as well that the international Net a Porter sale has started, so if you have some Christmas money or want to treat yourself to something, now is the time to buy at up to 50% off! :)


Last worn: stripe tank, Havaianas (see above), Rebecca Minkoff canvas mini MAC (see above). First time I've worn the skirt as it was a recent gift.
