Kirkwood Love

I am slightly obsessed with Nicholas Kirkwood heels, I love how they are so unique but still wearable (albiet painfully). Here are some of my faves from SS2011....love, love, love.

Did I mention love?

Weekend of Reprieve

I accidentally left my uni work locked inside my office this weekend and even though I have a paper due today I got some much needed R & R. The outfit isn't terribly exciting but was comfy and did get to wear my new Tony Bianco wedges. I should forget my work every weekend!

 

Wearing Portmans T, Dior Sunines, Necklace from markets, Georg Jenson watch, Dotti shorts Tony Bianco Wedges.

New York, New York

Oh poor little neglected blog, work and post-grad have really done a number on the blogging lately and keeping up with other's blogs (which I normally love)! Does anyone else get guilt complex when they neglect thier own or others' blogs?

Anyway in honour of me swapping my first lot of money to $US today I thought I would blog about my upcoming trip to NYC! ... ok its ages away and not until May but thats irrelevant.

I think I have mentioned my family are really creative before and my Aunt really is an incredible artist. She has been invited to exhibit in New York so I am going to go see! Couldnt' be more excited or proud of her and so glad I can share the moment. I dont think I can post anything from the exhibition but here is some of her handywork.

Amazing huh?

Also....SHOPPING!!!!

I have made a deal with myself that I can buy one expensive bag then all the clothes have to be reasonable. I have been pining over neutral bags for months trying to find the perfect fit and I thought the Chloe Paraty below was the one.

But Chanel have gone neutral bag crazy and I always kind of feel that they are more staying power but you know the outlay is bigger. So I am torn. Below are some of my fav ones.

So I am putting it out there...which bag do people in blogland prefer?

Sarong as a Top Take 2

Some of you might remember me posting  this sarong as a top back HERE. I love it so much decided to try wear it a different way again today.

Avon Sarong, Portmans Necklace, Lover Shorts and Givenchy Boots

Smooth Criminal

As kind of a new years resolution, my partner and I decided to downsize our lives down a little, part of which included getting rid of our apartment because he works away five days in a week and it's such a huge money drain. So Australia Day is our goodbye apartment party!

Meanwhile I moved in with some friends on Sat so Sunday was achy and lazy so the man and I went to balmain for lunch and drinks and this was my Michael Jacksonesque getup.

Prada Sunnies, Forever New Playsuit with Myer Jumper over the top and Wittner booties.

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!
