Ruffle Top, Jacquard Pencil Skirt, Marco Tagliaferri Bag | Asos Lace Dress, LV Bandeau Belt, Balenciaga Sapphire City

Was off sick on Monday, I only got dressed to go walk Cooper. Will spare you the details of that outfit.

Here's what I wore to work on Tuesday:

Necklace: gift from DH
Top: Forever 21 sheer black ruffle detail shirt
Skirt: Warehouse blue jacquard pencil skirt (New purchase, using competition prize gift voucher)
Shoes: NineWest Lovelyou studded flats in black
Bracelets: the usual plus Marc by Marc Jacobs enamel turnlock stripey hinge bracelet in black and white and Indigo Rose Design black leather Swarovski beaded wrap bracelet
Bag: Marco Tagliaferri first generation birk bag in navy from HGBags Online

My new shoes arrived at work Tuesday, so I tried them on to break them in as I walked around the office, as usual. Unfortunately, I realised I was late for an appointment and rushed out the door, forgetting to swap back into the studded flats I'd worn to work. My ankles are so sore now! My own fault for not taking a moment to change out of the stiff shoes. Patent leather too, major ouch! Changed into more comfortable flats as soon as I got back to my desk. The new flats are sadly back in their box for a while I heal. Need to break shoes in slowly, not run across the city in them!


Last worn: ruffle top, studded flats, Marco Tagliaferri bag. First time I've worn the skirt.

Shoes: gifted Novo Carmina fuschia suede flats
Bracelets: the usual plus gifted purple Salvatore Ferragamo 'Vara' leather bow bracelet
Bag: Balenciaga RH city in 2008 sapphire

Thought I would add a little bit of colour to the black dress with some bright accessories. I wanted to add pink and purple to match the scarf, but it wasn't until I looked at the photos that I realised even my orange nails matched one of the scarf colours!


Last worn: lace midi dress, LV bandeau scarf, pink suede flats, sapphire Balenciaga city.

Had a big presentation to do on Tuesday, to around 100 people. I was so nervous. The night before I tried on 3 different outfits as I kept changing my mind. After picking one, I changed my mind again in the morning as I got dressed, and went back to this one!
This was a good choice, I felt as confident as I could speaking in front of all those people. It could have gone better, but considering my nerves and the size of the audience I think I did well. :)

Lots of orange today! Last night I read Sheila's first monochrome outfit post and was thinking about what monochrome outfit I could possibly put together for the challenge.... All blue would have been easy (you know I have lots of blue!) but I wanted to try something different.
This dress has been pretty neglected in the cooler weather but now it's spring I will be trying to wear it a lot more. I thought it would work well with my rusty orange Balenciaga bag, and the camel flats are a kind of orangey-tan. I did cheat and add a little beige with a scarf to keep me warm on the way to work in the morning.

What do you think, is it a successful monochrome look?

Purple Knit, Skinny Jeans MAC Bag | Stripe Top, Jacquard Skirt, Black Asos Ankle Boots, Sapphire Balenciaga City

Top: Jeanswest purple cowl-neck knit tunic top
Jeans: Jeanswest Super Skinny Jeans in Mid Indigo
Shoes: gifted black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAC bag in Deep Purple


It was much too cold outside for thongs! Should have worn boots or closed in shoes instead. It's suddenly got so much colder. Just a nice casual outfit to relax in after working Saturday. Luckily I wasn't asked to work Sunday as well, so I could still help out at church online.

Thank you for your good wishes over the weekend on my last post, the work went well. We celebrated in the office this morning, with balloons everywhere! So we had a little silly fun with them at lunch time.

Decided on tights, boots, long sleeved top and a jacket today as it was so cold! Lots of black but I thought the stripes and jacquard print kept it interesting. So pleased I got to wear my new skirt today too, will be a great winter piece! Unfortunately they don't have it on the Jeanswest website, but it is in some stores.


Last worn: cropped jacket, boots, Balenciaga sapphire city. First time I've worn the top and skirt as they are new purchases.

This jacket was perfect one to keep me warm yet show off my new bracelet with the cropped sleeves, so it was the obvious choice to wear :)

Interesting day today! Spent the day relaxing before heading into the office. Scheduled this post as I'm going into the office to work this evening. We get to wear casual clothes, so my awesome Church Online tee gets an outing. One of the many perks for volunteering at Church Online, they keep my tee collection growing :) Took a different detail shot today to show off the back.

The project I've been working on for over a year is going live this weekend, and that's why we are working. I'm extremely excited, so working on a Saturday night doesn't seem so bad. My favourite team members will be there in the office too. Wish us luck! :)

I spent a little bit of time this weekend trying to figure out how to organise my wardrobe better. One of the things I noticed is that I have an entire clothes rack of dresses that only get worn in warmer weather. With the rainy cool day on Sunday I took the chance to try wear my maxi dress. I really liked it with the scarf and boots, what do you think?

Jeans: Jeanswest Pepper Red super skinny jeans
Shoes: gifted black slim Havaianas thongs
Bag: Chloe paddington cross body clutch

My sister had a cleanout of her wardrobe recently - which is what inspired me to start organising my own! I inherited some new clothes from her, one of them was this really comfortable tee. Nice and casual outfit for working from home. :) I did iron these pieces, but after sitting at the computer all day it doesn't look like it, haha.

Shoes: Rebecca Minkoff 'Beach Babe' strappy sandals in electric pink
Bracelets: the usual plus gifted purple Salvatore Ferragamo 'Vara' leather bow bracelet

A few showers on an otherwise sunny day, so added a scarf to keep warm. However the open toed sandals and a maxi dress were probably not the best ideas - the dress quickly got wet and weighed down with the rain, ended up having to change when I got home. Should just keep this maxi dress for dry days!

Short but sweet blog post today, sharing what I wore to work for casual Friday. A nice comfortable jeans and tee outfit. I've been looking at this top in my wardrobe for a long time thinking I should get round to wearing it again, today was finally the day as I was having trouble thinking of what to wear when I remembered this tee hadn't been worn in a while.

Spent a little bit of time today planning tomorrow - a girls day out is on the cards! :)

Asos Maternity Pencil Skirts, New Years Fashion Resolutions, Australian Giveaway!

Have a special Australian only giveaway today, just scroll down!


Here's what I wore to work on Monday:

Sunglasses: Rayban new Wayfarers
Necklace: custom Cooper charm by Silhoupette layered with Dogeared silver wishbone necklace and Chanel necklace (close-up)
Top: French Connection grey tie detail top (with Asos black singlet underneath)
Skirt: Asos panelled pencil skirt in tartan check on sale! (materntity version here)
Shoes: Wittner 'Bolla' black bow detail flats
Bracelets: the usual plus purple bracelet made by a talented friend and purple Salvatore Ferragamo 'Vara' leather bow bracelet
Bag: Balenciaga purple RH city in 2008 sapphire


Dug this top out from the back of my wardrobe, it's the first wearing of it on the blog. Be prepared to see a few more "new" items rescued from my wardrobe coming out now, have been spending a fair bit of time trying to clean my wardrobe and found lots of forgotten things tucked in a corner! I wonder just how much is still hiding in there....

I used to wear this top a lot to uni and to work when I worked in a non-public facing office role and wore jeans every day. Over 5 years ago! It's obvious now why it got less wear when I changed jobs and was no longer able to wear denim every day, not a flattering silhouette.

It prompted one lady in the office to come over and ask me if I was pregnant, so not the best outfit to wear when I'm disguising the baby bump at work. Quite comfortable though, and will see me through the next few months easily! :)


Last worn: Ray Ban, tartan pencil skirt, black flats, Balenciaga sapphire city bag. First time I've worn the top on the blog.

Here's what I wore to work today:

Shoes: Nine West fascinate ballet flats in silver glitter
Bracelets: the usual plus Hermes Kelly double tour bracelet in rubis
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey


I thought that the sequin embellishments on this top were a nice pairing with the graphic print on the pencil skirt, and really liked the combination. Funny how much smaller the bump looks today because of the different clothes too! :)

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.

Closeup of accessories:

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

DFO Brisbane: Shopping for Father's Day

Father's Day is getting closer (next Sunday!)  so today I headed out to Brisbane DFO in the hunt for the perfect Father's Day gift for my Dad and Father-in-law. I usually find guys are so tricky to buy for.

Thankfully, Brisbane DFO has a lot of choices available for men's fashion, and some special offers just for Father's Day. We had a nice day browsing some of the stores and looking for great gifts for guys. And of course we couldn't resist buying a few things for ourselves! At up to 70% off, it's hard not to buy!


Here's what I wore:

Necklace: custom Cooper charm by Silhoupette
Top: Spectrum basic v-neck tee in washed lilac
Jeans: Sass & Bide Jekyll and Hyde zippora jeans
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs studded mouse flats in grey
Bracelets: the usual plus Indigo Rose Design black leather Swarovski beaded wrap bracelet
Bag: Balenciaga RH city in 2008 sapphire


Last worn: lilac tee, zippora jeans, studded mouse flats, Balenciaga city bag.


Yep, that's a few shopping bags.....click through to see more pictures.

Should have brushed my hair before photos today, hehe! Wore some purple with this dress to make a change from the pink bags I usually pair it with. Couldn't resist adding a pink bracelet too though :)
It was very warm this morning so went for this dress. It's comfortable and has the added bonus of longer sleeves to cover up the worst of my sunburn.

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

Closeup of the back of the tee:

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/


Closeup of accessories:

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.

Ekka, Oscar's Law Tee, Jeans, Converse, Balenciaga Sapphire city

Here's what I wore to go to the Ekka (Royal Brisbane Show) today:

Jacket seen on bag in first pic: Juicy Couture Long Sleeve Original Zip Hoodie in 'Silver Lining'
Necklace: gift from DH (similar here)
Bracelets: the usual plus Indigo Rose Design fuchsia jade bracelet and Asos spike bracelets in Rhodium and Gunmetal.
Tee: Oscar's Law black V-neck fitted t-shirt (from http://www.oscarslaw.org/)
Jeans:  Sass and Bide "straight up" jeans (similar here)
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bag: Balenciaga 2008 Sapphire RH city (similar here)
Bag in the second picture: Woolworths green bag full of Ekka goodies!
Stylish person I'm standing next to in the first photo: my sister.

Today my sister and I took our friend to the Ekka for the first time. The Ekka is a big show that runs for a week in the middle of Brisbane. There are rides, shopping, entertainment, exhibitions, displays, competitions and lots of animals. You can find out more here if you're interested. It's really loud, crowded and expensive but a lot of fun too.

My outfit changed slightly throughout the day. The jacket came off quickly as it was really warm and sunny. I bought an awesome pair of yellow sunnies and put them on instead of my Dior ones so I could match my sister with hers, and I bought a beautiful bracelet that had to be added to my wrist too. Saved adding it to the green bag that was filling with showbags and everything else we had bought or won at the shows ;)

And as you can see, thumbs up was the unofficial picture pose of the day. My camera is full of poses of us with our thumbs up. :) It was a really fun day.

Luxe Pearl Tee, Sass and Bide Jeans, Wittner Heels, Balenciaga Sapphire City

Here's what I wore to work for casual Friday and a team lunch today:

Sunnies: Yellow sunglasses from the Ekka
Bracelets: the usual plus two metal and fabric Indigo Rose Design bracelets, gifted purple Salvatore Ferragamo leather bow bracelet and Oscar's Law bracelet
Tee: Cotton On Luxe pearl tee 
Jeans: Sass and Bide "straight up" jeans
Shoes: Wittner Mimi heels in mushroom
Bag: Balenciaga RH city in 2008 Sapphire 

Close up of accessories and bag:

This tee was probably not a good choice today. The back is completely see through so I had to wear a singlet underneath to cover up for the office, and it was a little warm with the extra layer. Maybe on cooler days, or paired with a skirt.

Today I bought some more items from the Cotton On online sale, and broke my Buy Nothing New month pledge to not buy anything new in October. A few ladies at work were putting an order in online together to get free shipping, and I had another look and as most things were $5, bought a few things. Shopping after only 5 days!!! Need to do better and not buy any more this month.


The sunnies were last worn here, jeans here, shoes here and bag here. This is the first time I've worn the top as it's a new purchase.

Polka Dot Shirt, Grey Pencil Skirt, Balenciaga Sapphire City | Threadless Tee, Jeans, Chloe Ethel Bag

Here's what I wore to work on Tuesday:

Necklace: gift from DH

Bag: Balenciaga RH city in 2008 sapphire

My sister in law no longer wanted this shirt, so she passed it onto me. I think it's great for work and I really like the polka dots. It's got little ties on the sleeves and one around the body so you can pull it into more of a peplum shape. Will have to try that next time.


This is the first time I've worn the shirt as it was recently given to me. The skirt was last worn here, shoes here and bag here.
