R & R

I actually had a day off yesterday (!!) so we went out for breakfast in the Italian Forum and wondered around the city enjoying the sun. It was a lovely relaxing day, it turned out to be a great way to recharge the batteries.

Me looking like a total tourist

 

They had an egg white omelette on the menu, so we both ordered it to be healthy but it turned out to be ridiculously bland....find the basil people!

Showing off his stamp from the previous night (classy).

 

To brighten up the place where I do all my work we bought some lilies and a wild lime candle, the candle smells delish!

Wearing Forecast dress, Gucci sunnies, Colette clutch, Avon necklace and Ysl Arty ring.

Fool's Paradise

Things have been mind numbingly boring for me at the moment, working long hours and studying at night. Usually my remedy would be some retail therapy but given that I am supposed to be saving for NYC and San Fran (8 weeks to go!) that is not an option.

So I did the next best thing....posted the things I want on here!

Must.......be........strong.

Peter Lang Cuff, Tom Ford Sunnies (how many pairs of sunglasses do I need?) Forever new leopard coat, Willow Existence Jacket, Asos Dress, Alexander Wang boots, Oscar De La Renta Necklace and Nars Velvet Gloss Lip Pencil (in happy day)

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
