My Style Diary - Biker boots and and sparkly jewels

Hi there!

So just a quick post today. I wasn't able to take any new outfit pics this weekend, but here are some photos from the weekend before. I've been really loving statement necklaces lately, which is a bit of a change for me. This one was from Portmans, and I picked it up on sale for $4.95! It's not something I would normally feel comfortable wearing (usually I go for much more understated and simple jewellery, and I generally prefer to wear long necklaces), but this one was just too pretty (and too much of a bargain!) to resist! 

Anyway, I hope you're having a great night!

Lots of Love

My Style Diary - Tea Party Time!

Hello there :)

It was my birthday on Wednesday, and despite feeling quite sick and having a very tiring day at work, I ended up having a really lovely day (well night at least) - just relaxing with my family and eating yummy chocolate cake! I'm seriously so lucky to have the best family (and boyfriend) ever! I think I'll have to post some of those photos later, because I was lucky enough to receive some gorgeous flowers, that are just too pretty to not share! :)

Anyway, on Saturday I had a little tea party with my girl friends... (and Tom because he loves tea too!). I got quite excited about it and had lots of fun preparing the food and setting everything up. I'm actually a terrible cook, so I decided to stick with simple things - Cornflake crackles, cucumber sandwiches, fairy bread... (so basically kids party food!). I'm also a bit of a tea freak, so we had quite a large selection of teas to choose from!

It turned out to be a lovely afternoon just chatting and catching up. It was just what I needed after what felt like (but really wasn't) a very long week... the week always seems to drag along when you're sick!

Anyway, this is what I wore to the tea party. Sorry the photos aren't the best quality, it was getting quite dark by the time I took these! I found this white floaty blouse at Forever New, and I know it's going to become one of my most worn tops. I've been looking for something like this for ages, but they never looked quite right on me. This one is perfect - the fit, the long sheer sleeves, the beautiful but simple lace detailing along the neckline...I'm in love with it! This was also the first time that I've worn this leather jacket which I picked up in Florence. Just looking at it brings back so many great memories of our Europe trip!

My Style Diary - Saturday Shopping!

Hello again!

So I changed my mind and decided to do one more post tonight ...I was in the mood, so why not? :)

This is what I wore today. Myer was having a massive sale, so I decided to head into the city and treat myself to a nice day of shopping. I used to hate shopping by myself, but now I absolutely love it. It's so relaxing, just wandering around, taking my time and looking at whatever I like. It doesn't matter if I don't buy anything, I just enjoy the experience. I did actually find some great bargains today though which I'm sure will be appearing in an Outfit of the day soon! (Also, it probably seems like I do a LOT of shopping... I do tend to shop quite often, but pretty much everything I buy is on sale! I'm a sucker for a bargain and don't often pay full price for things!)

These boots were a bargain find from New York a few years ago. I love the colour and how they're really relaxed and slouchy - but not too slouchy! My necklace was also from New York, from Forever 21. That shop was amazing! The one I went into had about 6 levels! My favourite accessory today though was this cute cross ring which was half price from Asos. :)

Anyway, that's it for tonight. I hope you had a lovely Saturday!

My Style Diary - Friday Night Florals

Hello there!

This is what I wore out to dinner last night for an early birthday celebration with my family and family friends. We went out for Indian (my favourite food) and had a really lovely night. I was also thoroughly spoiled with some early birthday gifts - a pair of absolutely beautiful rose gold stud earrings and delicious chocolates! (Thank you so much!)

Anyway, I wasn't in the mood to wear a dress yesterday (it's getting too cold!), but I still wanted to feel girlie, so I decided to go with my floral jeans. I've been getting so much wear out of them and I love how they can dress up and add a bit of colour to an outfit, and make me feel just a bit more feminine (but still comfortable and warm!)

For some reason, dresses and skirts are just too much effort for me in winter. I just don't find tights or leggings very comfortable, and find it so much easier just pulling on a pair of pants and a warm knit. What can I say? - I'm lazy! Luckily for me the winters are actually very mild in Perth!

Seeing as we were just going out for dinner I figured I would take the opportunity to wear heels. I love these ones - the colour, the shape, the heel height...perfection... except for the fact that they are the most painful heels I own! 

Ah well... 

My dad is having his "Wine Club" night tonight - they all get together for a meal and bring a bottle of wine each (all wrapped up so they can't see the label), and discuss what they think of the wine/where it's from etc. It's quite funny listening to them - "You can smell the strawberry notes in this one", "Actually I think this one has a slight smell of crushed ants". Lol

Anyway, I think I will leave it at that tonight. I'm going to go have a cup of tea and snuggle up in bed and read.

Goodnight :)

My Style Diary - Coral and Stripes

Hello!

This has been a great week for me, because for the first time since starting work I've actually been really enjoying myself! I'm one of those people who just takes a little while to adjust and be comfortable in new situations!

Today was a particularly nice day. I had work in the morning, and then I met up with my dad for lunch. It's becoming a nice little Thursday tradition! I drive to his office, we go and have lunch and coffee, and then go for a bit of a walk before heading back. It's nice to be able to spend more time with him :)

Anyway, I don't have time to write much more at the moment because I have to go and pick Tom up from uni, so I'll leave it at that for now!

Dress - Mango

Shoes - Country Road
