Re-cap

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.

Mayday Monday

I had great plans of posting up some wardrobe inspiration of my favourite colours this week along with updating you with my furniture making progress but alas, I am experiencing some major technical problems!

I feel like SJP in SATC when her mac had a sad face.

So I'm going to go make myself a triple shot of coffee whilst Pookie snoozes (again, it's raining in Sydney and I can't blame him for wanting to laze around in this weather) and go tackle my wardrobe like I mentioned in my last post.

Indecisions, indecisions

The only decision I managed to make all week may well have been selecting the crazy acid turquoise nail lacquer I'm wearing this easter weekend. It goes with nothing and everything.

I did start clearing out all my laundry backlog, and it's occurred to me - I NEED a dresser. OR I need more shoes. We all know I need more shoes. But I do need to implement some kind of intelligent storage system before I get swamped by my knitwear collection. That would be less than ideal. Also less than ideal is navigating to IKEA by myself. I'm not a fan of driving in directions I'm not familiar with... one of the few things I'm conservative about. But I guess I'll take one for the team, for the sake of my shoes and my clothes. They deserve to be happy.

Wish me luck!! xx

I RUV DUMPRING NIGHT!!!

I always have a great night out with galpal Miki-cherie or Miki-sashimi as I love to call her. I'd had such a long week with loads of Court assessments for my advocacy subject. Both of us started off with massive dumpling cravings (mmmm dumprings!) and then a late night excursion through K-mart with me trailing around the dvd section with my little trolley.

Totally loved Mik's shoes that night..... and my black Zara dress which I think is the sweetest little black dress in my collection at the moment.

printemps 2011/2012 - "are you peacocking?"

This last week was a tough week.. I'm grateful I get a break from things tomorrow. I'll be spending the day down at the law faculty. If the weather were any better though I'd love to head off for a good sunny patch of grass and do fake cartwheels. Who knows, maybe even a real 'grown up' cartwheel.

I'm loving the aquamarine and jewel green tones at the moment. The pics from the shoot should be up soon, pretty excited! xx

Picture This

Zoe (the make up artist I'm going to model for) sent me these images to get an idea of what the shoot is going to be like tomorrow

The lazy slob inside me thought, 'great, lie on the grass and stay still!! I can do that!!' I'll be channelling (trying to anyway) the latest YSL campaign, in my white ASOS dress, nude wedges and more St Tropez tan (which by the way does not smell at all, score).

Wish me luck!
