Here's what I wore to go shopping today, have my sister over and work at Church Online in the evening:

Scarf: no brand grey knitted scarf
Dress: JayJays feather print maxi dress
Shoes: Rebecca Minkoff 'Beach Babe' strappy sandals in electric pink
Bracelets: the usual plus gifted purple Salvatore Ferragamo 'Vara' leather bow bracelet
Bag: Balenciaga RH city in 2008 sapphire

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!


Last worn: feather print maxi dress, pink sandals, Balenciaga sapphire city. First time I've worn the scarf.

Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day

Hope you all had a lovely Christmas with family and friends!

I enjoyed taking a couple of days away from the computer and spending time with my family. Sharing a couple of photos a day doesn't take long but it was nice to stay away from the computer for a while. Thought I'd try do one post to catchup for the missed blog posts. It's a long one, sorry.

Here's what I wore on Christmas Eve (I'm in the middle):

Tee: gifted festive glitter Santa tee
Bracelets: the usual plus two metal and fabric Indigo Rose Design bracelets, gifted Christmas bow bracelet (with bells!)
Shorts: Jeanswest denim cuff shorts
Shoes: Nine West silver strap sandals (not worn in photo)
Bag: Balenciaga flat clutch GSH in 2010 Sang

Close up of accessories and clutch:

Completely forgot to take a solo picture, so sharing this instagram photo of my outfit instead with my mum, sister and Cooper.

My sister bought us all these fun t-shirts to wear on Christmas eve. I thought it was a great idea, and made me feel very festive as we visited family and baked Christmas cookies. I suspect I'll be wearing the tee again next year! The bracelet had little bells inside so my sister and I jingled everywhere we went :)


The shorts were last worn here, shoes here and clutch here. It's the first time I've worn the tee.

Love the photo of Cooper taking a massive yawn, had to share that one with you all :) Almost looks like he is singing carols!

On Christmas day we went to church, opened presents, had an extremely delicious meal, visited both of our families and ended the day with a relaxing swim in the pool before we had guests around. It was a really busy but family-filled day, it was so nice. The food was lovely and the company even better.

Had a bit of a giggle with my sister when we realised we had both worn blue sunnies, maxi dresses and Balenciaga clutches. We have very similar taste :)


The shoes were last worn here and clutch here. It's the first time I've worn the dress and sunnies, both of which were birthday presents. A lot of my bracelet stack was made up of Christmas gifts.

We had a much more relaxed Boxing day after our busy Christmas day. Didn't do very much at all, watched some DVDs we got for Christmas, went on a long walk with Cooper and ate plenty of Christmas cookies!

The shorts were last worn here, thongs here and bag here. This is the first time I've worn this tee as it was a Christmas present.


Thank you for reading my longest post!  Would love to hear how you spent Christmas! However you celebrated I hope you enjoyed it and got everything you wished for :)

The return of the yellow sunnies! After my yellow sunnies broke a few weeks ago I was quite upset as I'd worn them often. My wonderful sister remembered how much I loved my old pair and managed to track down these for me! I love them and you can expect to see them on the blog a lot more often! :) Even had a random guy come up to me and ask where I got them from today which made me giggle.

Just wanted to wear a nice light summer dress for the heat today. Unfortunately I didn't have the chance to take photos until this evening, after the rain clouds had rolled in and given us a bit of a soak! Thongs maybe not the best choice to wear as we walked about on the wet pavements, but it was so hot I didn't want to wear anything fussy.


The dress was last worn here, and bag here. This is the first time I've worn the thongs and sunnies.

First day of spring today! Pleased to report that the weather was lovely for it, perfect for heading down to the park with Cooper and catching up with my friend. Wore some bright colours to match the sunny day. Unfortunately  the camera was on the wrong setting when I took outfit pictures and I didn't notice until I went to upload them this evening, too dark to take another set. Don't think it captured the colours too well.


The pants were last worn here, shoes here and bag here. This is the first time I've worn the top as it was a new purchase from my outlet shopping last week.

Asos.com are having a 50% off sale that's worth checking out if you haven't seen it already. :) I did a little bit of sale shopping this afternoon and bought these boots - looking forward to their arrival!


I liked this outfit today - this skirt is such a great find. Looking at the photos though it makes me look really bulky around the waist - it's not the perfect size for me so I belted it under the tee, maybe next time I need to wear it over the top or have it taken in a little. I thought the aqua bag was a great pop of colour against all the black too. What do you think of this outfit? How would you change it?


The tee was last worn here, bag here and shoes here. This is the first wearing of the skirt on the blog, I bought it yesterday at the AWLQ jumble sale.

Very picture heavy post today! I snapped a few pics this morning for the StyleCaster and Rebecca Minkoff "Morning After Style" competition. One of the benefits of lazy weekend mornings is the chance to have a morning walk with Cooper, so I thought my outfit for that would make a good entry for the competition. 
You can view and 'love' my competition entry on StyleCaster here, and enter yourself here. If you win you get a Rebecca Minkoff gift card! Good luck!

Would love to see your entry if you submit a photo for the contest, feel free to leave a link in the comments :)

I thought this outfit would be a good idea this morning but later I worried if it was too "loud". Too much colour and too much leopard print for me. When I wear these pieces again, I'll wear them separately. What do you think?


This is the first time I've worn this top. I've worn the pants before here (also with animal print then!), shoes here, and bag here.

Men in Black 3 was quite a funny movie, I'm glad we were invited along to see it today with DH's family. It was very busy at the cinemas though because of the weather, so we were lucky to get tickets. Have never seen such a huge line for tickets before.
Should have taken outfit pictures before the movie though - so many creases from sitting still for so long, oops! Oddly, I just left a comment on Trendy Teal blog the other day talking about the same thing! Posting a picture every day, you're going to see some creases ;)


I've worn the bag before here, the shoes before here, the tee before here and this is the first wearing of these jeans and the cardigan on the blog. I don't wear them very often, I should wear them more.

Nordstrom are having their half yearly sale, have you bought anything?

I found a couple of cute flats here and here but the shipping costs to Australia are so crazy I couldn't justify buying them. Plus I bought those shoes I was considering in the shopbop sale this week ;)
