My Style Diary - Red Lipstick and Roses

Hellooo :)

So once again I'm just about to dash out to the airport, so I'll have to make this post short and sweet.

I was in a bit of a lazy mood today, but there's just something about red lipstick that can instantly make you feel a little more awake and alive. Same goes for adding a flower to your hair - it immediately livens up any outfit. I'm thinking I need to stock up on some more flower hair accessories because I'm really loving them! (Who cares if it's technically winter and probably not the most seasonal of accessories?)

I hope you're having a great Friday night!

Lots of Love

My Style Diary - You Make Me Happy

Heya :)

So yet another jeans and t-shirt combo... 

These 

grey jeans have taken the crown for "comfiest jeans I own" at the moment which obviously then translates to "the only jeans I want to wear".

There's also just something about the grey colour that I'm loving - they're just that little bit more interesting than my basic black jeans, but can be dressed up or down just as easily.

 I've already included them in a few blog posts, and you can probably expect to see many more over the next few months. W

hen I find something I love I tend to just stick with it, only problem is it can get a tad boring when it comes to sharing my outfits on this blog!

Ah well...

I'm an outfit repeater and not ashamed of it! :p

My Style Diary - 24

Hello hello! :)

It feels like a long time since I sat down to write a post, but I'm glad to finally be getting the chance! It's been a fun but tiring week, (I've been battling a rather annoying cold), so I'm really grateful for the long weekend and this extra day off! I'm planning on having a very chilled out day today just relaxing and getting things done. 

I might be weird, but for some reason I actually find doing all the laundry and ironing to be quite relaxing... yes I'm a little odd... but there must be someone else who agrees with me?? hehe...

Anyway...

This Thursday was my 24th birthday, and I can't quite believe another year has already passed. 24 seems to be a strange age... in some ways I feel really old, but in others I just don't feel mature enough to be in my "mid-twenties" (as Tom put it)

Regardless, I had a great day, filled with lovely things, like being surprised by a gorgeous bunch of flowers when I got to work, lunch with my Mum, and then picking Tom up from the airport and having a relaxing night, mostly spent watching

How I Met Your Mother

(one of our favourite shows)

My outfit for the day was my typical basic black work wear with a splash of colour from this gorgeous floral scarf (which I stole from my Mum). Nothing fancy, but I like it nonetheless. 

I also just wanted to briefly mention something non-fashion related - 

T

his weekend, I had a great time helping out my friend Sheena, who premiered her documentary, 

The Humanitarian Engineer

 at the State Library Theatre on Saturday night. 

Sheena's an engineer who (with zero film-making experience), researched, filmed, edited and produced this documentary which  "celebrates engineering, its diversity and its power to enrich the human condition".

If you're interested in finding out more about it you can check out her website

here

. I wanted to mention it because I think it's just such an amazing achievement, and even though I'm not an engineer, I found it to be a very interesting and thought-provoking film. 

That's it for today! I hope you're all doing well! :)

Lots of Love

Hellooo :)

I have to dash out the door in about 10 minutes to do the weekly airport pick-up (I'm slowly getting used to this fly-in fly-out business my boyfriend has gotten us into), but I thought I'd quickly share this outfit with you from Mother's day a couple of weekends ago.

This dress has gotten so much wear since I picked it up and has transitioned so easily from a simple, easy-to-throw-on summer dress to a perfect layering piece for the cooler months :)

Another piece that's gotten it's fair share of love lately is this necklace which has become one of my favourites. While I've been wanting to jump on the statement necklace bandwagon for a while, for some reason it never quite feels like "me", so for the moment this is my more subtle take on the trend.

Anyway, I better get going. I hope you're having a fab Thursday night!

My Style Diary - Time to Layer

Heya :)

I don't really have a lot to say today, but I thought I'd share these pictures from last weekend.

I wear this jumper/jacket so often this time of year and love that it has the look of a jacket but the comfort of a soft, cozy jumper. A perfect piece for when you want to look presentable, but really can't be bothered with anything too fussy!

I hope you're having a lovely Sunday!

Lots of Love
