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!

What I'm Wearing

Dress - Mango

Shoes - Country Road

My Style Diary - Pink and Khaki (again!)

Hello 

Sunday night again! It seems to come round so quickly! I'm sitting here drinking my Camomile tea and watching the end of Bruce Almighty. Such a funny movie. 

Today my family went to watch my youngest sister playing cello in a music eisteddfod. She played really well and ended up coming second! 

Anyway, I was excited to wear my new khaki pants today. I found them in Country Road yesterday when they were having their 25% of everything sale. I love Country Road, but it's usually pretty expensive, so I only really buy when they're having their sales. I also picked up some really nice photo frames which I'm planning on putting my graduation photos and Europe photos in (once I get around to actually printing them!)

What I'm Wearing

Top - Trennery

Pants - Country Road

Cardigan - Pull and Bear

Boots - from Zomp

Bag - Jigsaw

Necklace - local boutique

Ring - from San Gimignano

Watch - Thomas Sabo

Bracelet - Pandora

My Style Diary - Bows and Ballet Flats for Mother's Day

'

Hello :)

I'm sitting in front of the heater right now in my pajamas, and feeling absolutely exhausted, but actually really happy! It was a pretty busy day at work today, but sometimes being busy can be a really good thing! It makes you feel like you're being very productive!

Anyway, this is what I wore on Sunday - Mother's day. I like how it's kind of lady-like with the striped bow top (I love the bows on the back, but my sister said it looked like a hospital gown!), ballet flats, and simple jewellery... but has a bit of a "twist" with the ripped jeans and (almost) black nail polish. 

Reading back over that last sentence makes me laugh because it sounds like I actually put thought into the outfit, when in reality, I was just in the mood for wearing something super comfy, and the top and jeans were the easiest things to throw on! 

Anyway, I think going to go watch an episode of Castle now. I hope you're having a lovely Wednesday night!

What I'm Wearing

My Style Diary - A day full of food!

Hello :)

So it's Saturday night and I'm sitting here typing with a heat pack on my neck because my neck is killing me! I was "studying" today (by studying I mean just doing some dental related reading while Tom was doing actual work on his thesis), and I probably wasn't sitting in the best position. Silly Lauren! :p

Anyway, this is what I wore yesterday. Tom and I went for breakfast, and I had the best french toast I've ever eaten (see above photo, doesn't it look delicious?!) Later on, I went and met up with my mum for lunch and then at night my friend cooked a  "Mexican Feast" for us. It was a great day filled with two of my favourite things - catching up with some of my favourite people and eating amazing food! (not so good for my health...but...oh well...)

I really need to start getting into my "healthy eating" kick. I go through phases where I will be really healthy for a while, and then I'll go through a "Whatever...it's yummy I'll just eat whatever I want" kind of phase. I'm going to make a conscious effort this week to make better choices!

Anyway, I don't really have much more to say tonight, so I'll leave it at that. I hope you're having a lovely Satuday night :)

What I'm Wearing

Jacket - from Hong Kong, I think the brand was "Tokito"

Jeans - Calvin Klein

Shoes - Country Road

Scarf - from Cambridge

Black top - Dotti

Bag - Jigsaw

Ring - Wild Lily Empire

What's In My Bag

Hello :)

Seeing as I have a little more time tonight I thought l would do another post, and for some reason I really felt like doing a "What's in my bag" post today. I always find reading other peoples "What's in my bag" posts intriguing, so I thought I may as well jump on the bandwagon. I took photos for this quite some time ago, but never got around to writing this up. Anyway...here we go...

1)

Glasses

- I used to only wear them in class, but unfortunately I've been slowly getting blinder and now they're usually always on my face!

2) Phone

3)

Too many lip products!

- Burts bees lipbalm (my favourite lip balm), Chanel Coco Shine Lipstick, Revlon Kissable Balm stain ...and usually a lot more accumulate in there!

4)

Travalo

perfume atomizer which is filled with my favourite perfume - Vera Wang Princess. It's such a handy little invention :)

5)

Hand Cream

- this one's the

Great Barrier Island Bee Co

. Manuka honey hand cream, and it smells lovely. 

6)

Wallet

- this was a birthday present last year and I absolutely love the colour :)

7)

Diary

- this one's from Kikki.K, they have the cutest stationary!

8)

Mirror

- my best friend brought this back from Paris for me :)

9)

Spare hair tie

10)

Mints

11)

Headphones

12)

A snack

- in this case roasted almonds :)

My bag is from Jigsaw. It was my Graduation Present to myself once I started working and I spent a long time researching which one to get! I wanted a neutral bag that would go with everything, and this one does just that (and has a nice subtle  pink colour on the sides and bottom to make it just a bit more interesting). It's also the perfect size and style!

Anyway, so that's what's in my bag...  :)

Love Lauren
