My Style Diary - Pink Plaid and Grey

Hello!

Last weekend I was lucky enough to escape down to Margaret River for a couple of days, and had the best time just chilling out, going for bush walks and enjoying some yummy food (I seriously love the Margaret River Bakery). It's so beautiful down south in winter - just look at how green everything is!

It may be a little stereotypical, but for some reason I always like pulling out the plaid shirt when I'm spending time in the country. It has a very relaxed, laid back vibe which just seems very appropriate. (Plus I love the fact that I managed to find a more feminine one in typical "Lauren colours" ie: mainly pink

).

Add a slouchy beanie and you're all set for a chilled out day!

Lots of Love

My Style Diary - More Monochrome

Hello :)

So here we have another black and white outfit! I usually like a little colour, but sometimes there's just nothing quite like a classic black and white combo, particularly when you're playing with slightly different cuts, like this cropped jumper. I love the interesting mix of patterns in this jumper, and the cropped style pairs nicely with this high waisted skirt. Maybe a little young looking... but I'm ok with that. 

I had to throw in just a touch of colour with a red lip and these gorgeous earrings. They were a present for my 21st birthday from a good friend of mine and I absolutely love them. The deep ruby red colour is just so beautiful :)

Anyway, I hope you're having a great weekend! I'm currently down south in Margaret River and thoroughly enjoying myself! 

Lots of Love

My Style Diary - Black and White Stripes

Hello!

As I'm writing this I'm sitting watching Top Gear (not usually my first choice of show, but it's on and I'm having "Father-daughter bonding time") and listening to the crazy wild weather going on outside.

I'm not really a fan of winter, as I've mentioned before (the cold just doesn't agree with me, particularly early on Monday mornings), but I do absolutely love the rain - so calming and makes it feel extra cozy inside :) 

I've been getting a little tired of my standard winter uniform of jeans, jumper and jacket though, so I thought I'd mix it up a little and pull out one of my dresses. It seems I have a bit of a thing for stripe-y dresses (last count was 6), but I guess with a print this classic you can't really go wrong. I like pairing this dress with simple, classic accessories and am a little obsessed with rose gold at the moment

I had a little wardrobe tidy-up the other day which led to the rediscovery of quite a number of pieces I'd forgotten about, so hopefully there will be a few more interesting outfits coming up soon (I'm bored of wearing jeans!)

Happy Monday night!

Lots of Love

My Style Diary - Last Minute Changes

It's amazing the difference simply switching jackets can make to an outfit. On this particular day I started off wearing my leather jacket, but after taking a few photos, decided that I was too cold and needed something a little more warm and cozy. I quickly shrugged on my parka, added a scarf and ta-da! - a totally different look, which I managed to snap a few pics of before dashing out. I actually like this outfit with the parka better - ties in the colour of my boots quite nicely I think and just gives a more relaxed vibe :)

Enough about jackets though - lets move onto the real star of the show today which is this gorgeous new bag from Trenery. I love the tan colour and beautiful detailing (I'm a sucker for gold hardware), and the fact that it's a little bigger than my other handbags is a big plus. If you've read my blog at all you'll know I'm a real bargain hunter, so at 40% off I couldn't resist! 

(I admit that I have a slight shopping addiction, but at least I'm good at finding great deals! Really - I'm saving money! hehe)

Anyway, let me know which you like best. Leather jacket or Parka?

Lots of Love

June in Pictures

Another roundup of all the good bits of June.

Winter walks along the beach with friends, experimenting in the kitchen,  brunching with my Grandma, playing makeup artist for my little sister and her friend for a costume party, and (as always) a lot of shots of food and tea!

I hope you had a great month. I can't believe we're already halfway through the year!

Lots of Love
