Work Wear

One of the upsides of working in Marketing in the Cosmetics Industry is that you can take liberties with work attire, so this is what I wore today super comfy and a vast improvement on the suits I used to wear!

 The details:

Wearing Country Road Jacket, Scanlan and Theodore top, Cue Pants, Avon Necklace, Calvin Klein shoes and BCBG Maxazria clutch.

Also I have been tagged by some lovely (and very stylish) bloggers for the stylish blog award, if you havent already I suggest you check them out!

So here are my 7 things about me:

• I am petrified of birds but love buying clothing and jewellery with birds on them.
• I study my MBA (Masters in Business) at night and work long hours which is why I start nearly every outfit post with "sorry the photos arent great but I was in a hurry".
• I love lists, I am not pedantic but love crossing things out when I finish them. I even write things that I have already done just so I can cross them out.
• I am obsessed with the bubbles game app on the iphone, I wont stop playing it until I reach 5000 points and you know what happens then? Nothing.
• I have a habit of naming inanimate objects, my laptops name is Archibald, my boyfriends laptop is Reginald (AKA Archie and Reggie), my Chanel bag is called Shelley Channelly and my car is called Heinrich Von Trappensson the Third (he is an Audi so needed a german name).
• I have a (dorky) love of politics and economics and I am a staunch Atheist and Civil Libertarian.
• I am moving out of my apartment this week to downsize and live with some friends and I am already mourning the view!

All about the shoes

Let me start off by saying that my last few posts have been relatively uninspiring but it's been a bit mental here....also seem to have a bit of a black Morticia theme going on?

Anyway I bought this Scanlan and Theodore (yes another one) sample dress recently when I was in Melbourne. Turns out its actually an early design of a dress that I already own! I guess I have a specific style. I love anything loose but this dress appealed to me because it's simple enough to wear with my poor neglected Alexander Mcqueen's that sit in my wardrobe untouched because they overwhelm most outfits.

Unfortunately I didn't manage to get a side shot to see the shoes before the rain set in....so much for summer.

On a brighter note there will be an Alexander Mcqueen exhibition on at the Met when I am in New York.....hoorah!

Qantas Couture

Seeing it had been so long since I posted because of the holidays I quickly took some snaps of what I wore on the plane when I got home (yes an outfit post right off the plane...so dedicated).

My usual trick is to wear as much clothing as possible so I don't go overweight with my luggage (which I did anyway). Oh and I got my hair done again before I went to Melbourne, it's not at copper as in the pics but its still in that awkward stage of going blonde again ... can someone please remind me how long this has taken next time I decide to dye my hair black?

Wearing Scanlan and Theodore sample dress (got in the sales hurrah), Sass and Bide leather jacket, Chanel Bag and  oldest of the old jeans and wittner shoes, both of which I have worn to death.

P.S Going to catch up on everyone's blog tonight so I hope you all have been more vigilant posting than I have!

P.P.S I love Melbourne, had a great time.

Sunday Sunday

Seeing I can't take any proper outfit photos because my %$^# lens on my camera is broken I thought I would post a few quick snaps of a pretty lazy Sunday.

 We went to breakfast at Jackies which I really like because I can twist the man's arm into checking out the paddo shops after.

Hiding behind my coffee in a Scanlan and Theodore top, French Connection Blazer and Gucci Sunnies.

Went to the Aus Centre for Photography, if you are a local and have a chance you must check out Stephen Dupont's Afganistan exhibition, just incredible.

 

Went to Josh Goot to check out that dress again, its a bit more fitted around the waist than I feel comfortable in (maybe I just need some spanx) but the print is so amazing I love it.  HINT XMAS PRESENT HINT

 By the way moved into the new place and I love my new wardrobe so much I have decided to exclusively live in there and never come out.

Its Friday Night and the Feeling's Right

Vogue meet last night! was lots of fun and took a few quick snaps before I headed off, unfortunately I looked really grumpy in most of the pics so had to chop my head off in most of the snaps.

  I wore Scanlan and Theodore Dress, Country Road jacket and YSL Arty ring

Pretty Shiney things!

Ok I am a HUGE Scanlan and Theodore fan, it comprises about half of my wardrobe, mostly because I like the way they play with different shapes.

Anyway I am really liking the below looks, so I am thinking of doing a sneaky trip there after work.

I am really loving the look in the middle on the top row and I have some kirkwoods that look nearly exactly like the shoes....so so tempting!

Morning coffee and trying to look natural posing on the balcony

This morning I tried to take some outfit posts of me on the balcony, I am usually the person who hides from the camera so hopefully they don't look quite as awkward as I felt!

My boyfriend bought me the Nicholas Kirkwood shoes a while ago but I had lots of trouble styling them until I got my hands on this Portman's Suede Jacket which ties them into most outfits. The dress is Scanlan and Theodore and one of my favourites because it's so versatile.
Here is some close ups of the details

My boyfriend and I then headed down to this crazy little German cafe called Una, the place was so quaint I had to take some photos.
