Easter: Floral Maxi Dress, Yellow Cardi, Chanel Bag | Threadless Tee, Printed Shorts, Marc Jacobs Karlie

Here's what I wore to celebrate Easter Sunday with our families and work at Church Online in the evening:

Sunnies: gifted Cotton On 'Kirsten sunnie' in yellow
Cardi: Supre pale yellow bolero

We went to church with my parents for the Easter service in the morning, so I wore a cardi as it can get chilly with the aircon. Thought florals and pastel yellow was fitting for easter Sunday! The maxi dress was comfortable for the BBQ lunch at the in-laws too. Hope you had a lovely Easter, however you celebrated.


Last worn: yellow sunnies, grey maxi dress, sandals, vintage Chanel bag. It's the first time I've worn the cardi on the blog although I've had it a while.

Shoes: Cotton On thin strap thongs in pink

Over the holidays we managed to get a bit done and spend time with family which was nice. Pleased that the weather stayed so good as well.

Striped Top, Denim Shorts, Purple MAC | Grey Threadless Tee, Striped Maxi Skirt, Aquamarine Clutch

Here's what I wore on Good Friday:

Bracelets: the usual
Top: Cotton On round neck zebra stripe top
Shorts: Jeanswest denim cuff shorts
Shoes: Big W purple thongs
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAC bag in Deep Purple

We had a very relaxing Good Friday, so wore a really casual outfit. It was nice and warm still, which is just what you want on a long weekend. I wear blue and pink together a lot, so thought I'd be a bit different and wear blue and purple together. I liked it, what do you think?

Hope you are having a lovely Easter break. I couldn't let it go by without sharing this video again, one of my favourite songs. It sums up beautifully why Christians celebrate Good Friday and Easter Sunday.

Last worn: stripe top, denim shorts, purple thongs, Rebecca Minkoff MAC.

Here's what I wore for a relaxing Saturday today:

Bracelets: the usual plus Marc by Marc Jacobs enamel turnlock stripey hinge bracelet in black and white
Tee: Threadless "I want to be Friends" grey tee (closeup of text)
Skirt: Thrifted black and white pleated striped maxi skirt from AWLQ jumble sale
Shoes: Asos 'flame' leather flat sandals with multi straps
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC with python embossed leather in Aquamarine

After being bitten badly by mozzies the past few days I opted for a maxi skirt today to try shield more of me, haha!
This tee is one of my favourite Threadless tees, it may even be one of the first I bought. You can see a close up of the text here. In one of my wardrobe clearouts I gave it and a few other tees to my sister. When she had a wardrobe clearout recently, I got it back! :) We also discovered that I had given her a tee and then ended up buying myself a replacement for it, but I'm sure that will come up another day. Can't remember the reason I gave this one away, but I'm glad I got it back and it has a funny story behind it now.


Last worn: striped maxi skirt, Asos sandals, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC. It's the first time I've worn the tee on the blog.

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!

I didn't do this dress any justice last time I wore it either, although at least you can see the shape of the skirt this time. I really need to get photos of it before I wrinkle it up after a day at work! It's just one of those pieces that wrinkles so easily unfortunately. Such a classic easy dress to wear though, so I keep it around. Minimal accessories as I just wanted to be comfortable for my first day back in the office after being so ill last week.

Not ashamed to say that the aircon was on when we were at home on Sunday - it was so warm! Wanted to wear as little as possible as it was so hot in the sun when we were out. This singlet has to be my favourite summer singlet - it's light and airy and I really like the bright colours too.

Wore a simple dress as it was a hot day. Cooper's smile is the cutest! :)
Went to the stores to try out some cameras and decide which one to buy. My old camera had something get into the lens a few weeks ago and it can't be cleaned out. As the zoom functionality broke a while ago too it was definitely time to upgrade. DH was very sweet and gave me an IOU for a camera for Christmas, knowing that I hadn't picked the perfect replacement yet. Together we picked the Sony NEX5R digital camera in store today. The SA Lisa in Camera House was so helpful! I'm really impressed with how much functionality the camera has for blogging and I'm excited to use it for future posts.
