Leather Jackets. Office: Pencil Skirt, Chloe Marcie | Casual: Jeans, Rebecca Minkoff MAM bag

Here's what I wore to work on Thursday:

Scarf: Alexander McQueen modal and cashmere skull scarf
Top: Target ruffle sleeve dog print blouse
Skirt: Jeanswest black ponte pencil skirt
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs logo plaque flats in black patent
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe Marcie medium hobo bag in Nut


Had the perfect outfit planned for work today, until I realised that I had worn it before! Changed the shoes, skirt and bag and tucked the top in this time to make it look different. No excuse for wearing the same thing over again when I have a wardrobe full of clothes waiting to be worn, haha. Was quite happy to wear my skull scarf with the Dachshund print top, although it reads like an odd combination I think it worked well.

Received a new purchase too, another handbag!

Last worn: printed leather jacket, Alexander McQueen scarf, dog print blouse, pencil skirt, flats, Chloe Marcie bag.

Here's what I wore today to go to the Reebonz sale and spend the afternoon by the sea:

Jacket: Wittner Santa Fe cobalt blue leather jacket
Necklace: silver Owl pendant long necklace from Paddy's Markets
Top: Jeanswest 'Hannah' print tank in paradise pink multi
Jeans: Sass and Bide "Straight up" jeans
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs studded mouse flats in grey

Long weekend starts today! Had today off to relax. I went to the Reebonz Australia Brisbane sale this morning. You can find some photos from the day on facebook by clicking the image below, and I shared some photos on instagram too.

There seemed to be a lot more bags than the last sale, although I feel I say that every time, haha. There was certainly lots of bright bags this time around. There was a really good range of brands as well, even some Reebonz Vintage items from Louis Vuitton. The sale is open on Saturday too, at Brisbane Hilton, so check it out if you are nearby.

After dropping by the sale and not buying anything as I just got a handbag yesterday, I spent the afternoon with mum and Cooper. We went out for lunch to Wellington Point and sat by the sea, it was really nice and relaxing. Cooper enjoyed the day out as well, he was well enough to walk around the waterfront with us which was lovely. I always find nothing relaxes me more than sitting by the water for a while.
Linking up with Friday's five, Casual Friday and Friday's Fancies today.


Last worn: cobalt leather jacket, printed tank, Sass and Bide jeans, studded mouse flats. First time I've worn the bag as it's a new purchase.

Orange Jumper, Skinny Jeans | Cobalt Leather Jacket, Yellow Tee, Pink Skull Scarf, Nude Heels, Chloe Marcie Hobo Bag

Here's what I wore to work from home on Thursday:

Jumper: Vintage David Jones orange wool knit jumper from AWLQ vintage sale
Jeans: Jeanswest Super Skinny Jeans in Mid Indigo
Shoes: Cotton On thin strap thongs in black
Bracelets: the usual


A very simple yet cosy outfit to work from home on Thursday. I had to monitor Cooper as he recovered from his surgery on Wednesday, he was still a bit drugged up! 10 days of bed rest have been prescribed and he's not allowed to go for walks or play any strenuous games. This quick photo in the back yard as I took him out for some fresh air was all I could manage, as he wasn't happy being picked up and needed to be supervised constantly.

Cooper slept a lot, so I did manage to complete all of my work, and also list a few items on ebay. Feel free to checkout my auctions :)


Last worn: orange knit, skinny jeans, black thongs.

Here's what I wore to work for casual Friday today:

Sunnies: gifted Cotton On 'Kirsten sunnie' in yellow
Jacket: Wittner Santa Fe cobalt blue leather jacket
Scarf: Alexander McQueen pink pashmina in skull and floral print
Tee: Hendrick Boards Love Changes Everything for Champ tee (New purchase)
Jeans: Sass and Bide "Straight up" jeans
Shoes: Wittner 'Lumen' heel in patent leather
Bracelets: the usual plus enamel coated Marc By Marc Jacobs Katie bracelet
Bag: Chloe Marcie medium hobo bag in Nut


Back in the office for casual Friday and a couple of meetings, and my turn to have a break from Cooper-watching. He is much more like himself today though, it is good to see.  He will be missing from the blog for a while as he recovers.

Decided on a bright cheerful outfit as it was a slightly overcast morning. Although you can't tell in the photos as it's a bit too overexposed to compensate, sorry! The yellow in the scarf matches the yellow in the shirt quite nicely I thought. It's not yellow and pink leopard print, which Sam rocks and I plan to try one day, but it was nice.


Last worn: Sunnies, cobalt leather jacket, Alexander McQueen scarf, Sass and Bide jeans, Wittner heels, Chloe Marcie. First time I've worn the tee as it's a recent purchase.

Purple Skinny Jeans, Grey Beaded Knit, Mulberry Alexa | Vintage Printed Pencil Skirt, Wittner Heels, Chloe Marcie Bag

Here's what I wore on Sunday to go to lunch with DH and work at Church Online in the evening:

Jumper: Warehouse grey bead front jumper
Jeans: Jeanswest blackberry super skinny jeans
Shoes: gifted black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual plus gifted Balenciaga classic pearly grey double tour bracelet

I purchased this jumper a while back, with the Warehouse gift voucher I won. I knew it would soon be cool enough to wear it, so glad I got a chance to this weekend. Still wearing thongs though, because after a week of heels my feet needed a break!


Last worn: purple skinny jeans, shoes, Mulberry Alexa. First time I've worn the top as it has only just gotten cool enough to wear it!

Here's what I wore to work today:

Necklace: sterling silver monogram necklace C/O MyNameNecklace.com.au
Top: Supre purple half-length sleeve top
Skirt: Vintage pencil skirt from The Thrifty Kitten
Shoes: Wittner 'Lumen' heel in patent leather
Bracelets: the usual plus gifted faux pearl and silver chain bracelet
Bag: Chloe Marcie medium hobo bag in Nut


Got this skirt back from the tailor this weekend. I only wore it twice last year as the length was a little odd on me. I got it taken up so I'm more comfortable in it and will wear it more often. It's got such a lovely colourful print on it, tried to bring out the purple a little with this top. In hindsight, probably should have picked a more contrasting background to stand against for the photo though, haha!


Last worn: skirt, heels, Chloe Marcie bag. First time I've worn the top on the blog although I've had it years now. Good basic piece.

Sheer Top, Burgundy Peplum Skirt, Chloe Marcie Bag | Asos Red Leopard Print Dress, Tan Accessories, Marc By Marc Jacobs Fran

Here's what I wore to work on Wednesday:

Sunnies: gifted Cotton On 'Kirsten sunnie' in yellow
Necklace: House of Harlow gold mini key pendant necklace
Bracelets: the usual plus studded and chain link Oroton leather bracelets from Designer Archives
Top: Jeanswest sheer white oversized blouse (with white Supre singlet underneath)
Skirt: Cotton On Berney skirt in zinfandel
Shoes: Wittner 'Jasmarie' studded sandals
Bag: Chloe Marcie medium hobo bag in Nut

Tried this outfit together the night before and quite liked it - but really felt uncomfortable in it when I wore it, it just didn't seem to sit right. Won't pair these two pieces together again, I think the oversized top and the peplum were too much together. What do you think?


Last worn: yellow sunnies, sheer top, peplum skirt, studded sandals, Chloe Marcie hobo.

Here's what I wore to work today:

Sunnies: gifted Cotton On 'Kirsten sunnie' in yellow
Bracelets: the usual plus gifted Ferragamo double wrap bracelet
Dress: Asos red leopard print dress with dipped hem
Belt: gifted Cotton On tan waist belt
Shoes: Wittner 'Columbia' cross strap sandals in tan
Bag: Marc By Marc Jacobs Classic Q Fran bag with gold hardware in carob brown from Reebonz

Thought about wearing my oak Mulberry Baywsater with this but thought it added up to a bit too much tan, so swapped it out for my Fran bag instead. This dress has been sitting in my wardrobe for almost a year unworn as I keep thinking there will be a better event to wear it to. So I decided just to wear it today to work, as it is one of my favourites that hardly gets worn.

Looking forward to having a relaxing 4 day weekend!


Last worn: sunnies - above, leopard print dress, tan sandals, Marc Jacobs Fran bag.

Wore a pretty summer dress to beat the heat today. I don't wear this dress often (this is it's first appearance on the blog) but it's so perfect for hot days I keep it around. The only downside to it is that it's so light and airy it gets caught in the wind a lot. Trying to get a photo this morning when it was really blustery was hilarious. Luckily this one turned out okay! I'll put a couple of others up in the facebook out-takes album for you to giggle at :)


The sunnies were last worn here, and bag here. This is the first time I've worn the sandals as they are a new purchase, and the first time I've worn this dress on the blog although it's a few years old.

So 12/12/12 today! Hope you did something memorable :)

When I was figuring out what to wear last night, I was really aware that this is another jeans and tee outfit. I had grand plans of making up all kinds of lovely casual outfits for work that didn't involve denim, but that hasn't really happened. I've gone back to my comfort zone most days. I think I need to try harder to come up with different outfits and take advantage of the range of options "casual dress" has, rather than wearing jeans every day.

Probably shouldn't have worn this necklace with the belted dress, it's a bit long and the belt already adds enough interest. Didn't check in the mirror before I left the house this morning, oops! Sometimes I'm in such a rush I forget little things like that. The belt and necklace look good with the dress, maybe just separately. What do you think?

Was a bit bright taking photos today! Next time I must remember to wear my sunnies!

My order from last week's $10 Cotton On sale arrived at lunch time today.

It caused a bit of a fuss in the office with people wanting to see what I'd got and a few ladies even went to Cotton On at lunch time to make some sale purchases! They bought some great pieces, and the closest store to the office is really tiny so I think if you went to a store you'd find a lot of great items still on sale. Can't wait to wear my metallic lace skirt, maybe when the weather warms up a little.

Not a bad way to start October and "buy nothing new" month, with a bunch of new clothes to stop me feeling the urge to buy more :)

Snapped a quick photo on my way back from lunch today - wanted to get one outside but it was such a nice warm day everywhere was really busy. I don't have the confidence to try take an outfit picture in front of the lunchtime crowds yet! Probably should have tried to tame my unruly hair before the picture though, hehe!


I was recently featured over at Sheila's blog Ephemera, as part of her "Dress Week of Horrors!" round up. Worth checking out, she has some very stylish readers and everyone wears their dresses beautifully.

It was raining a bit this morning so I had the chance to use my new Reebonz umbrella. I got it as a gift with my last online purchase.

Not sure about the gold shoes with this outfit though, what do you think? They seemed like a good idea last night but wished I'd worn black shoes today.

Today's outfit was completely inspired by Joelyne from The Sydney Girl. She posted a very similar outfit yesterday. I was inspired to wear my little red dress, jacket and boots today after seeing her post. I kept nice and cosy with the scarf too :) Even took a street style photo just like June from Stylish With a Budget, lots of inspiration today!

We were in a bit of a rush this morning, as you can probably tell from my "hurry up" face in the photo ;)
I really like the boots and dress combo. I have been wearing it a little lately, sorry! It's just perfect for work and the boots keep me warm in the freezing mornings we have been having. This dress is one of my favourite dresses, I'm surprised to find I've only worn it once this year. I need to wear it more often.

This wasn't what I originally planned to wear today, but it was so cold I felt the need to rug up. Maybe shouldn't have worn a short jumper and a short jacket together, I don't really like the way it looks in the photos. And the neckline of the top with the neckline of the jacket....at least I was warm and comfortable :) What do you think?
