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.

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!

Sunnies: gifted Cotton On 'Kirsten sunnie' in yellow

Bracelets: the usual
Dress: Jeanswest ruffle neckline animal print dress
Shoes: Wittner 'Columbia' cross strap sandals in tan
Bag: Balenciaga Coquelicot 2011 RH Velo from Reebonz

It was still quite warm and humid after Sunday's massive storm, so wore a nice light dress to the office on Monday. Added a little bit of colour with the necklace and bag. Decided not to belt this dress, although I usually do I wear a belt with it, I actually liked it worn without one today. Was much too hot for Cooper too, he wasn't in the mood to look at the camera! haha.

Dress: French Connection blue Paisley print dress
Shoes: Nine West silver strap sandals
Bag: Balenciaga RH work in 2005 Magenta

So I didn't realise just how similar my outfit was to yesterday's until I went to upload the photos! Bright necklace, matching Balenciaga bag, printed dress and sandals 2 days in a row! Just wanted to be comfortable and cool in the last of the heat we are getting, so I'm sticking with what works. At least it's not jeans and a tee, right? ;)

Red Peplum Dress, Wedges, Chloe Clutch | Grey Tank, Metallic Lace Skirt, RM Mini MAC Aquamarine

Here's what I wore to go out to the Brisbane Comedy Festival and have dinner with DH on Saturday:

Earrings: Chanel vintage camellia dangling charm earrings
Bracelets: the usual plus silver charm bracelet
Dress: gifted 'That Famous Look' red peplum dress
Shoes: New Look cream and brown wedges
Bag: Chloe Paddington clutch in mastic

Taking full advantage of our sudden warm spell, I wore this dress out on Saturday night. Brought a jacket along but it never got cool enough to need it. I've worn the dress before with flats, out to dinner in Melbourne after Cecylia kindly gave it to me. Really wanted to dress it up with heels this time, but as we had to do a bit of walking last night, tiny strappy heels were out and I wore these comfortable wedges instead. Was nice to get a bit dressed up for the evening, and I was glad I picked the wedges at the end of the night! :)


Last worn: dress, shoes. This is the first time I've worn the clutch on the blog.

Here's what I wore to go out shopping with DH today:

Top: Cotton On 'eternity' tank in charcoal marle
Skirt: Cotton On metallic lace tulip skirt in frosted almond/silver
Shoes: gifted Havaianas tropical print thongs
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC with python embossed leather in Aquamarine

Really warm today, it was nice! Thought about wearing a tee with this skirt, as I haven't tried that yet, but it was much too warm to consider it. A nice simple grey tank worked well to keep me cool instead.

Metallic Tee, Lace Pencil Skirt, Rocco Bag | Floral and Skull Scarf, Printed Tank, Jeans, Balenciaga Sorbet City

Here's what I wore to work on Thursday:

Bracelets: the usual plus Chloe Paddington crystal charm bracelet from Reebonz offline sale, studded and chain link Oroton leather bracelets from Designer Archives (New Purchases)
Tee: Cotton On Luxe pearl tee
Skirt: Asos blue textured lace pencil skirt
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs Logo Plaque flats in camel
Bag: Alexander Wang Rocco with gold hardware in dark argon from Reebonz

When I was trying to organise my wardrobe a couple of weeks ago I came across this metallic tee I hadn't worn in a while, and the lace pencil skirt, and realised they would pair perfectly together. Had a tricky time picking the right shoes though, haha. I got rid of my gold flats as they had seen better days, or they would have been perfect with this. In the end, went with my trusty tan shoes and a belt to try match it.


Last worn: metallic tee, lace pencil skirt, Marc by Marc Jacobs flats, Alexander Wang Rocco bag.

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

Dress: Jeanswest Rema print tank in midnight / berry
Jeans: Jeanswest 'spoylt' super skinny jeans
Shoes: Wittner 'Jasmarie' studded sandals
Bag: Balenciaga RH classic city in 2010 sorbet

I was going to wear this pink scarf with grey again, and had a grey tee in mind to wear. Changed my mind when I remembered I had this printed top sitting around unworn, I think the print worked well with the bright scarf. Nice casual outfit for Friday.

Grey Dress, Pink Flats, Skull Print Pashmina, RM Nikki | Tank and Skinny Jeans, Balenciaga Part Time Bag

Here's what I wore to work on Tuesday:

Scarf: Alexander McQueen pink pashmina in skull and floral print (New Purchase)
Bracelets: the usual plus enamel coated Marc By Marc Jacobs Katie bracelet in pink
Dress: Barkins grey sleeveless dress
Shoes: gifted Novo Carmina fuschia suede flats
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Nikki in Silverstreak

On Monday I had a meeting across town and on my way there I passed a lady wearing this same grey dress accessorised with neon yellow heels and belt. She looked amazing and it reminded me to wear this dress, which I can't seem to find me wearing before on the blog. With the full skirt and longer length it really looks better with heels so I don't wear it often. Wanted to wear it with my new pink scarf - as I don't have any neon yellow accessories! Reviewing the photos though I wish I'd worn a different coloured shoe, not too sure of the two different pinks.


Last worn: suede flats, RM Nikki bag. This is the first time I've worn the dress on the blog, and the first time I've worn the scarf which I bought in Melbourne.

We had a team building day at work today so casual clothes - I wore a comfortable printed top and jeans outfit as we went bowling. My colleague insisted I take a photo modeling the bowling shoes to share, haha! Doesn't show my outfit the best so I took this normal OOTD shot too.

Jeans: Jeanswest Super Skinny Jeans in Mid Indigo
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black

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.

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?

Was pleasantly surprised to see that the Reebonz Melbourne offline sale is much larger than the Brisbane ones - it was impossible to get one photo of the entire room!

Was a very long but amazing trip - so many great things to see, I uploaded a few photos to my instagram. The photo above was taken at our first stop, Bell's Beach.

Bracelets: the usual
Dress: Zara printed bib front tunic dress in black
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs Logo Plaque flats in camel
Bag: Marc By Marc Jacobs Classic Q Fran bag with gold hardware in carob brown from Reebonz


It was supposed to be warm and sunny in Melbourne today, so a dress seemed like a nice idea to be comfortable for the flight down and for walking around the city. I ended up having to wear my jacket as well as it was a bit chilly, although it warmed up and I could put my scarf away after lunch.

Spent some time today walking around, catching trams, having absolutely delicious cupcakes with amazing company and visiting the usual tourist spots - I will try to put some photos up on my facebook page if you want to see. Had to take this quick one in the hotel's rooftop garden as I didn't have any other head to toe shots.

Pink Floral Top, Check Pencil Skirt, Balenciaga City | Ruffle Dress, Hermes Twilly, Tan Flats

Here's what I wore to work on Monday:

Sunnies: pink leopard print sunglasses from Paddy's Markets in Sydney
Bracelets: the usual plus gifted Balenciaga classic pearly grey double tour bracelet
Top: Papyrus floral shirt and pink tank gifted from my grandma
Skirt: Asos tailored checked workwear pencil skirt
Shoes: Rubi primo ballet flats in silver
Bag: Balenciaga RH classic city in 2010 sorbet

This is an outfit that seemed like a good idea at the time when I planned it the night before, but I didn't actually try it on until I wore it Monday. Although I like the pink and grey together, it's not a great shape. Maybe should have added a belt or tucked the top into the skirt. Had no time to do anything when I rushed out the door in the morning. Will know the next time.

Very busy at work with lots of meetings and trying to get all of my tasks for the week finished before I go off to Melbourne. Wanted to be comfortable so a nice bright dress seemed like a good choice to wear. Thought I'd be really colourful and pair the pink dress with my purple Balenciaga too. I liked the way it turned out, usually I stay away from wearing other colours with this dress but I like the pink and purple, what do you think?

1 day left before Melbourne - if you have any ideas for things for me to do or see while I'm there this week, please let me know :)

Took this quick selfie to share what I wore, a very casual outfit for a day at home.

We had a very lazy Saturday! Spent some time tidying the house in preparation for a house guest and tackling the mess that is my wardrobe. I managed to add 3 items to the donate pile which is progress, but the amount of clothes I have and hardly ever wear is embarrassing. I thought that having an organised wardrobe would make it easier to see what I have and pack for my Melbourne trip, but all I ended up with was a mess of clothes, haha.

There was a bit of a stir at lunch time today - we were all kept inside the office as there was a gunman in Queen street in the Brisbane CBD. It was pretty scary at first, but the police handled it so well and kept everybody safe. We spent most of our lunch huddled round a few screens watching the news streams trying to find out more information. Very relived to see it end safely.
