Here's what I wore to run some errands and walk Cooper today:

Today was a lovely warm day, the perfect Saturday. I caught up on blog reading in the morning, ran some errands to pick up some essentials to help DH kick his cold, walked Cooper, and just relaxed and enjoyed having some time to rest. Thought this dress was a lovely choice in the morning, but there was the odd gust of wind to catch the hem that had me wishing I had picked jeans, haha.


Last worn: pink sunnies, navy dress, shoes, Chloe Ethel bag.

Comfort won out today - tried to make a nice casual grey tee more suitable for the office with a pencil skirt. Added a blazer in case there were any impromptu meetings. Busy day as we tried to get everything finished in anticipation of our day off tomorrow.

Tomorrow is Anzac day, where we honour and remember those who died serving Australia. We will be up early as a family to go to the dawn service. "At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them". It's good to have a break in the work week, and it's good to be able to pay our respects to those who gave up so much for us.

Here's what I wore for my last day in Melbourne and to fly home on Sunday:

Scarf: Alexander McQueen red skull-print modal and cashmere-blend scarf
Top: Topshop knitted scoop neck top (new purchase)
Jeans: Jeanswest Super Skinny Jeans in Mid Indigo
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Marc By Marc Jacobs Classic Q Fran bag with gold hardware in carob brown from Reebonz


Our last day in Melbourne was extremely cold! I was glad I'd bought this comfy knit in topshop on Saturday, it came in very handy. Just a nice casual outfit to stay comfy and warm and get home to see Cooper :)

DH borrowed my camera for the big F1 race so took this at the airport when we caught up after. Had such a lovely time on our trip, you can see some photos on my facebook page or instagram.

Here's what I wore to go back to work today:

Scarf: Target white scarf, gift from mum
Necklace: gift from DH
Bracelets: the usual
Dress: French Connection 'pendragon panache' cap sleeve dress in 'winters day base'
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs patent mouse flats in black and white
Bag: Alexander Wang Rocco with gold hardware in dark argon from Reebonz

Picked this simple outfit for my first day back at work, as we flew in late last night. I thought the greens and blues of the dress would go well with my new bag, although I'm not sure about the textured scarf with the print. Probably should have left the scarf behind, I kept changing my mind about it throughout the day. What do you think?

Took my blog photos a little differently on on Saturday - first time using a proper tripod! Usually my photos are a mix of those taken by DH and those taken on self timer with a gorillapod and a tall object I can put the camera on. Now I have a tripod I can take photos anywhere, so I took these photos while on a long walk with Cooper. I just have to get better at finding a shady spot for photos though!

First day back in the office after being stuck at home for a couple of days. A skull scarf and studded dress and shoes felt like necessary accessories for me to get out of bed, haha! Thought that the studded shoes would be nice with the studs on the dress, but with the shoes being silver it didn't pair as well as I thought.

Bag: Marc By Marc Jacobs Classic Q Fran bag with gold hardware in carob brown from Reebonz

Close up of accessories and bag:

I liked this outfit today, the only thing I wish I had done differently was the shoes - it ended up being a little wet for open toed sandals! I thought the moss green jeans went quite well with the floral cami. Nice casual outfit for the office and shopping the Brisbane Reebonz sale at lunch time today.
Surprisingly I came home without making any purchases, but if the Balenciaga glycine sandals had been in my size, I would have had a new pair of shoes!

(click to visit the album)

There was LOADS of choice, lots of accessories, shoes, wallets, clutches, bags.....I have some photos from the sale up on facebook. Saturday is the last day for the sale, 11-5 at the Brisbane Hilton.

Rather unintentionally dark outfit when I look at the photos today! I wore the Alexa to add a bit of colour but as it's a greyish lilac maybe I should have went for a brighter bag instead. Very casual again today as it's so warm, just wanted to keep cool outside of the office. This skirt is really comfortable as it has an elastic waist. Was really nice to wear all day.

The sunnies were last worn here, tee here, sandals here and bag here. This is the first time I've worn the skirt.

Nice casual outfit today! It was warm but overcast today, so took advantage of the good weather by going out for a walk and getting lunch with my friend and Cooper. he's giving a big yawn in the photo, he was really tired out after our walk! Decided to wear my new Marc by Marc Jacobs bag as I didn't have to carry much. Still so happy that I won it! It's a really good size for weekends and you can take the strap off to wear it as a clutch too.

Wearing another new to me item today as well - this beautiful silver monogram necklace that Niki from MyNameNecklace.com.au kindly sent me. I've seen a few people around wearing monogram necklaces so it is nice to have one of my own. Really liked the pretty packaging it came in too.

Hope you have had a lovely Saturday :)

The sunnies were last worn here, shorts here and sandals here. It's the first time I've worn this top on the blog, and the first time I've worn the bag as I just received it yesterday.

Just a casual outfit today - I didn't even bother doing my hair! We were really looking forward to the public holiday today, but changed our plans a little with the cold and rain. We watched a movie, and went to visit a friend in the afternoon and take Cooper to the dog park. I thought I'd packed these Asos boots away until next year, but needed to pull them out again today. May have been a little too optimistic with the weather.

If you're interested, the mangue Balenciaga clutch I'm wearing is on sale at HGBags online right now :) You can get an extra $100 off and free world wide shipping with code "fashionistas ". The coupon code is also good on other bags and designers in her store. Enjoy :)

Paisley Print Jacket, Singlet, Moss Green Skinny Jeans, Balenciaga Mango Envelope Clutch

Here's what I wore to go out for brunch and visit the Home Festival today:

Sunnies: Yellow sunglasses from the Ekka (similar here)
Jacket: Just Jeans paisley print jacket (similar here)
Singlet: Jeanswest grey marle singlet (similar here)
Jeans: Jeanswest 'Moss' super skinny jeans

Bracelets: the usual plus two metal and fabric Indigo Rose Design bracelets, a gifted multicoloured woven bracelet made by my talented friend, pink fairy floss 'Plastic Fantastic' bracelet from Meekz Contemporary Jewellery, bought at the Twilight markets last night.

When we were walking around the festival today one of my sandals snapped! I was extremely lucky though as we were standing right opposite a sewing stall. The ladies there were mending and altering some clothes and kindly let me borrow a needle and thread to repair my shoe. It was quite funny as I'm not a talented sewer at all, so my friend had to capture the moment.

We had a good laugh with the ladies, as I was the third person who had stopped by with a wardrobe emergency they had helped to fix, hehe. I think there should be more of these little repair stalls dotted around the place, it certainly came in very handy today. My shoes lasted for the rest of the day, but maybe won't last much longer which is a shame as I wear them a lot and they go with so much. Will need to look for a good replacement! Any suggestions?

My sister, friend and I went shopping today. I didn't want to spend too much so I thought if I took my envelope clutch I'd have my hands full and not want to carry too many shopping bags with me. Didn't really work, we ended up buying quite a lot in the outlets.... It was a fun day though, lots of laughs as you can see from the photo!
