OOTD - The Beginning Of A Week Off!

Hey all, 

I have been given a week of 'burn-out' leave from work, as I have been under a lot of pressure lately - a common thing amongst social workers! So this morning I slept in until 11.30 and rose all bouncy and excited...until I realised I have no idea what to do with spare time! Because I am a workaholic. 

So what did I end up doing? Called the best friend and headed out for a spot of lunch, coffee and shopping. I have also planned dinner with the girls tonight, so my week of freedom is starting with a BANG! 

Here is what I wore! 

Spotted - Grumpy cat in frame, because her mother was taking pictures and not patting. 

Spot - Cat's tail, still grumpy. 

The Outfit 

Wet Leather Look Leggings from Garnis Boutique/ Knit from Garnis Boutique/ Betts Ankle Boots/ Handbag from Camden Markets/ Colette Necklace/ Lovisa Bracelet/ Pandora Bracelets and Rings 

Next picture! 

Spot - Finally, a happy cat. She has won, attention received. 

Hope you enjoyed this post, and a little insight into what a lil monster angel my baby cat is! Haha.

Have a great night! xx

Purple & Orange OOTD

Hey all, 

I haven't done an OOTD post in a little while and I figured that I should remedy yet! They are one of my favourite types of posts to both read and create; and I jumped at the first opportunity I had last week to take some pictures. 

It has been starting to get colder here in Brisbane, so all my clothing with sleeves has come out to play! I adore both purple and orange...so I just chucked them together for a lunch date with the girls - and I like the way it turned out! 

Enjoy! 

The Outfit 

Ally Dress/ Colette Belt/ Lovisa Necklace/ Wittner Shoes

Face

L'oreal Lumi Magique Foundation in Camel/ Australis HD Concealer/ MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in NC42/ MAC Blush in Pinch Me/ Wet n Wild Eyeshadow Trio in Walking on Eggshells/ Maybelline Kohl Express Eyeliner/ Essence Long Lasting Eyeliner in Khaki/ FOA Impact Curl Mascara 

Look at my little plants grow!! It's very exciting, haha! 

How are you changing your wardrobe as it gets colder? And what is your favourite colour for autumn/winter? 

Hope you enjoyed this post, and that you have a great night! xx

OOTD - Navy Orange

Hey all,

Now that the favourites and empty post's are out of the way (not that I don't love them) I can get back into the swing of reviewing and sharing! Time for an OOTD, I haven't done one of these for a little while and I loved this outfit too much to pass up the opportunity!

We had a bit of an informal meeting at work today, and this is what I wore!

Sorry for the shadows & the squinting, it was SUN-NY!

Outfit
Supre Dress/ Colette Belt, Colette Bag, Rubi Shoes, Michael Kors Watch, Pandora Bracelets & Rings.

Face

I just love the colours in this outfit, and in particular adore the belt! I think that it brings everything together nicely. Also, if you haven't been to Supre in a while - I recommend heading in for basics. I went in the other day on a friend's recommendation, and was pleasantly surprised!

Happy Snaps: Beach Escape

Hey all, 

Just an easy weekend post, and a little bit of an insight into the happenings of my life! A few weeks ago I headed to the beach with my girls (and one of their boyfriend's) cradling a broken heart and feeling miserable. But the coastline worked its magic, and I came out of it a week later refreshed, and feeling wonderful about life once again! 

There is nothing better than a little bit of an escape! 

Here are some happy snaps! Thanks to everyone for being in these pictures. 

Our view for the week! 

I'm a nut, I know. 

Yes, that shopping trolley is full...and it was round two. 

The wonderful Broadbeach!

 It was a wonderful week full of sun, surf, sand and one two many cocktails! All in all, just what I needed! 

Hope you all have a great night! xx

Valentine's Day Self-Pampering + OOTD

Hey all,

Valentine's day - the one holiday that creates a divide between the masses! Being newly single, out of a long-term relationship in the past couple of weeks and having no one to celebrate this infamous time of year with (except my cat), I had two options - let it get on top of me, or kick it's ass. 

So, being the strong and determined person that I am (generally), I decided that moping would be forbidden, as would feeling sorry for myself, and I chose to have a day completely dedicated to the one person who never lets me down, me! 

And it was a wonderful day!

Outfit

ASOS Dress/ Lovisa Necklace/ Vintage Bag/ Emerson Shoes

Face

Rimmel Lasting Finish Foundation in 400 Natural Beige/ Maybelline Mineral Power Concealer in Beige/ MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in Med-Deep/ Sleek Blush in Life's a Peach/ Elf Beauty Book in Natural Eyes/ FOA Eye Definier/ Almay Get Up & Grow Mascara

Activities

Japanese food! My favourite! 

Reading my current favourite historical fiction trilogy! 

Drinking lots & lots of tea! My current have is Japanese Peach

Watching The Big Bang Theory! 

The Pampering

Also, I would like to say a special thank you to all my wonderful friends that were there for me, that hated on cupid with me & drank ridiculous amounts of Valentine's Day induced alcoholic beverages with me.

I hope you all had a wonderful Valentine's Day, whatever you got up to! And I hope that it was full of love and cheer! xx

OOTD - Spicing Up Prac

Hey all,

I've never been a girl who could imagine herself in pinstripes, finely constructed business suits and endless amounts of black, grey and white. I've always known that it is a fear that I would have to one day face, and that fear knocked me in the face when I found out that I was doing my social work prac at a hospital. Oh my, cutting edge fashion is definitely not at home in the waiting room! 

I refused to admit defeat, and over the past few months developed ways to sneak little bits of my personal style into otherwise exceedingly professional outfits! 

Hope you enjoy!

I adore this belt. 

These shoes are a lot more comfortable than they look, and look divine! 

There's nothing like a little bit of red to brighten things up! 

Hope you all have a great day! xx

My first outfit post! Yay! My man's coming back into town tonight, and we are heading out to get scrumptious thai food so I though I would put a quick OOTN post up before I left!

Anyway, enjoy!
