DH and I got a free lovely sunny day at last, so we headed down to the beach with Cooper. We walked out to King Island at low tide. You can see a pic of it I took during high tide on instagram. Although Cooper wasn't allowed on the island (it's a nature reserve) it was a fun walk out there, and he got to have a few paddles along the way. Sand covered little monster had bath time as soon as he got home though, haha.

Just a nice casual comfortable outfit for walking around, and of course I had church online in the evening.


Last worn: blue sunnies, Sass and Bide jeans, converse, RM purple MAC. First time I've worn the tee as it's a recent purchase.

Woah, a lot of Marc By Marc Jacobs today, haha. And another new purchase! I bought a couple of dresses in the Leona Edmiston sale, and I picked them up from my tailor this weekend. They are always too long on me, but when I get them on super sale I don't mind paying a little extra to have them taken up to fit. Nice simple outfit for a Monday. Bit colder than yesterday though, I think a scarf would have been a useful addition.

Got my long-overdue haircut on Saturday and I'm still figuring out how to style it to be honest! The hairdresser always makes it look so easy and pretty in the salon. Wasn't an issue on Sunday as the sea air made it wavy and it didn't need any input on my part, haha.

Last worn: trench, cap toe flats, Marc Jacobs Hillier hobo. It's the first time I've worn the dress as it's a new purchase.

Yes, another long sleeve top, pretty skirt combo. I've been very uninspired this week, sorry! Just so cold and wet in the mornings again, not very nice after our warm weekend. Have to admit, it's been nice to have an easy ready-to-go outfit to fall back on. Although I may have been wearing my skull scarves a bit much - a colleague noticed this one and was amazed I could have a cheerful pink scarf covered in skulls. He's quite amused I have so many colours and variations, haha.


Last worn: printed leather jacket, Alexander McQueen floral skull scarf, grey long sleeve tee, jacquard skirt, patent flats, Balenciaga magenta work.

Here's what I wore for casual Friday today:

Jacket: Wittner Santa Fe cobalt blue leather jacket

Top: Topshop grey knitted scoop neck top
Jeans: Sass and Bide strayed misfits skinny jeans
Shoes: Wittner 'Lumen' heel in patent leather
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Marco Tagliaferri first generation birk bag in navy


Jeans for casual Friday! I bought this grey jumper earlier in the year in Melbourne, thinking it would be really practical and I'd wear it often. This is only the second wearing and I'm surprised I haven't worn it as much as I thought I would. This scarf on the other hand, I thought may be a nice neutral I'd reach for now and then, and I'm wearing it a LOT at the moment as it seems to go with everything. Funny how that happens. Maybe points to me needing to understand my wardrobe better before I make purchases?

Do you have things you wear more or less than you thought you would when you bought them? Or tips for how to identify things you won't wear often when shopping?


Last worn: blue leather jacket, Alexander McQueen scarf, Topshop knit, Sass and Bide jeans, nude heels, Marco Tagliaferri bag.

Another surprisingly warm winter day on Sunday! DH and I stopped by a car show with my father in law in the morning. It was such a lovely day to be outside. The good vibes continued when we got home and found out that we won the video competition at Church Online with our re-enactment of the Lion King scene with Cooper as Simba!
It's playing all week at http://live.lifechurch.tv/ if you want to see him being a little star! The times of each session are available here. Instead of a normal church service, we are watching movies, so click on over and check it out. It's all free of course, and everyone is invited.
Would love to know what you thought of Cooper's video, and the movie :)

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!

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.

Jeans: Jeanswest Super Skinny Jeans in Mid Indigo

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.

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.

First day of the long weekend means a nice casual jeans and tee outfit! Wearing my fave jeans and my latest purchase, a super-soft tee from Hendrick Boards. Purchasing it also donated $10 to help a rescued puppy named Chamsky.

I found out about the company through an Oscar's Law campaigner. Every tee purchased donates to a shelter, or specifically the care of one rescued animal. For someone like me who wants to help animals and also buys a lot of tees, it's a perfect site! :) I enjoy seeing the updates they post about the neglected animals getting better too. It's nice to see sometimes that there is good in the world. And sometimes, it's fun to wear the tee and hug your adopted puppy while you're on a walk with him!

Last worn: Sass and Bide jeans, Converse, Marc by Marc Jacobs Karlie. First time I've worn the tee.

Tried to take advantage of the last of the warmth today with bare legs! Just a nice casual outfit for running around. We took Cooper to the groomers, ran some errands, and then I had Church Online in the evening. Was pleased it wasn't too cold to go bare-legged, as the boots and scarf helped keep me cosy.

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.

This jacket was perfect one to keep me warm yet show off my new bracelet with the cropped sleeves, so it was the obvious choice to wear :)

Interesting day today! Spent the day relaxing before heading into the office. Scheduled this post as I'm going into the office to work this evening. We get to wear casual clothes, so my awesome Church Online tee gets an outing. One of the many perks for volunteering at Church Online, they keep my tee collection growing :) Took a different detail shot today to show off the back.

The project I've been working on for over a year is going live this weekend, and that's why we are working. I'm extremely excited, so working on a Saturday night doesn't seem so bad. My favourite team members will be there in the office too. Wish us luck! :)

Feather Pashmina, Navy Polka Dot Dress, Chloe Marcie Bag | Ruffle Top, Sass and Bide Skinny Jeans, Alexander Wang Rocco

Here's what I wore to  go to work and attend a training course on Wednesday:

Scarf: Nali feather print pashmina scarf (New Purchase)

Dress: Jeanswest 'Gwenda' print dress
Belt: gifted Cotton On black waist belt
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs patent mouse flats in black and white
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe Marcie medium hobo bag in Nut

Just a nice simple printed dress outfit today. I ended up taking the scarf off during the day, but it kept me warm on the journey to and from work. Although the training course means I'm home later in the evening, I'm still having to work on the project in the morning before the class begins, so I'm up really early for that and an extra layer comes in handy when it's cooler.

Another comfortable outfit for my training course today. Couldn't decide what bag to wear with this very blue outfit, as I'd worn my poppy red Balenciaga Velo with this top last time. In the end, stuck with the blue thing I had going on and chose my Rocco bag this morning :)

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

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.
