Holiday Viewing

Happy holidays!! What did you get up to this Christmas?
I got started on some major online shopping, I don't go in for the Christmas sales, but I always organise a nice big delivery of post-holiday cheer. Can't wait to show you what I got.
Meanwhile, B bought me a new movie (he always gets me loads of videos to watch since I don't tend to watch regular teevee. bless). It's Tamara Drewe. Have you ever watched it? Brilliant, and I'm only in the first quarter of it. She is so far a gorgeous anti-heroine. My favourite kind.

This month's nominee

If you haven't heard already, Pantone just announced the colour of 2012.

Meanwhile, this weekend I was rediscovering my purple heels.

And it got me thinking how I do love that particular tone of jewel.

And so, I have decided to announce a candidate for colour of the month.

It's also the colour of Christmas!
 

What's everyone else putting on their tree this year?

Guess Who's Back!

Miss me?

I know, it's been a while! Let me catch you up!


Meet Alan:

 Decided that despite junior high school, I do like polka dots.

Fell back in love with J Crew.

And the citrus hues. Yum!

 Got yet another pair of shoes.

 Became OBSESSED with the Celine Nano (in citrus), see top left.

 DIDNT quit coffee. Did I mention I was gonna after my birthday? Hah.

Became a lawyer. Oh, and finally wore my weird neon chunky necklace.

So that's me all done. How've you been? x

Re-cap

 

 

 

(bag, Longchamp; knitdress, Victoria's Secret; cardigan, Wrangler; cap, who knows?; kicks, Lacoste)

Hola!
how was your weekend? I spent sunday afternoon at a cafe with B catching each other up on the last two weeks. then trailed home to start the wind down for getting back to work on monday morning.
I really like spending sunday evening doing something low-key, like watching Nigella Express with a mug of coffee, or catching up on my AFR newspaper reading. You can see my sunday was really good, as I got to do both.
What do you think of my Lacoste sneakers? I sometimes find that cut of shoe difficult to wear, esp with that pattern on it. But I thought if I was going to go patterned, I may as well go all out, guns blazing with a striped knit dress and oversized knit cardigan. The hat is something I picked up at a random market in Jakarta. Initially the girl wanted far more than I thought was acceptable, thank goodness she chased me down with a better offer. I was heartbroken at the thought of not going home with it.
The cardigan is actually B's but we both agreed it didn't suit him as well.
I hope you had a good Monday, x!

Groom's side or bride's?

Half of work didn't show up today. I am assuming they called in sick, had a sleep in and settled down to watch the wedding of Kate and William. I've since seen a photo of the wedding, but I didn't watch the wedding - the real one OR the telemovie. 

Mind you, I can't wait to settle with a coffee and check out what all the guests wore, then think about what I would have worn. 

For me, I always like to start an outfit with the accessories. How cute are these Loubs? I'm REALLY into navy at the moment, so they'd definitely make it into my wardrobe. And to go with it, this really sweet Anya Hindmarch Rossum clutch. 

What would you have worn?

Hey Sailor

I haven't been able to get enough of the nautical feel lately... especially the last few days. How cute is the ring? It's on my wish list, from Disaya. I do love my buckle wedges from Asos. It's exactly the touch I need to stop me from falling completely over the edge and calling out 'ahoy' to people I stroll past in Ikea and at work.
