BagRebecca Minkoff mini MAC with python embossed leather in Aquamarine


Nice casual outfit, taking advantage of the warmer day to wear thongs. Went to the airport to farewell my sister this morning, she's away on a long trip. In the afternoon, went to the movies with DH and then had Church Online in the evening. This was really comfortable to wear all day. Surprised to find I haven't worn this jacket in the 22 or so months I've had the blog, it's a really nice piece. Should have worn it more when the weather was just starting to cool down.


Last worn: purple skinny jeans, printed thongs, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC. First time I've worn the top as it was a recent purchase, and first time I've worn the jacket on the blog.

BagBalenciaga Coquelicot Velo (2011 RH)


Wore this because I thought the beaded pattern on the knit would be nice with the subtle jacquard of the skirt :) And some red for a bit of colour too! I wasn't sure if the skirt and the relaxed fit of the top would work well together, but they used a very similar silhouette at asos to show the jumper, so I decided to give it a try. Saw a lady on my way to work wearing a similar pleated skirt with a more fitted top and a belt, so I'll give that a go next time! :) I get outfit ideas from a few different places!


Last worn: grey embellished jumper, jacquard skirt, red suede shoes, Balenciaga velo.

Have been wanting to try pink with this jacket since I bought it. While I was contemplating the purchase, I kept thinking if it would really work in my wardrobe. And of course I could see it with greys and blacks and cream...and then I remembered this pink top. Just had to give this a try, as I love pink and blue together. And my favourite jeans of course ;) Glad it's not too cold so I can wear a tank in the office and just a jacket over the top outdoors.


Last worn: cobalt leather jacket, pink singlet, skinny jeans, Wittner heels, LV mono speedy.
