CHRISTMAS DAY

So my first Christmas Day in Sydney was a bit of a wash out with torrential downpours all day long! I started out my day at home with a crazy family Skype session complete with present opening and then went to a friend's very cosy and Christmassy flat for a boozy breakfast. Everyone said that the grey skies outside only added to the Christmas feeling as that's what we're used to at home!
Although it was raining it wasn't cold at all so I still got to wear my planned outfit (just sans bikini underneath!). It's a bit lucky that we had the foresight to spend Christmas Eve at the beach when it was 30 degrees and blue skies, so we could get the obligatory bikini/santa hat photos (see my last post!).

Hope everyone had a wonderful day. It was strange for me not doing the family thing, but I had a blast with my friends and fellow Christmas orphans!

TRIP PURCHASES

It's a little tricky shopping in the Northern Hemisphere in Winter, when Summer is about to begin at home so on my recent trip overseas it was less about the clothes and more about the extras.


Bra from Kaitlyn


Moisturiser by Diptyque, Perfume by Byfredo via Liberty


Beats by Dre. Listening to music will never be the same. Every day is like a silent disco at my place.


Travel Candles by Diptyque. Perfect present from my best girls.

OUTFIT: PLAYSUIT

Just a couple of the comments by the guys I was with when I wore this outfit the other night - "Woah is that one of those dresses with shorts built in?!" and "Mate if you think she looks tall, take a closer look at those trainers they've got a HIDDEN WEDGE!".
It's great to know my friends can appreciate Marant too.



I have had this vintage playsuit for at least two years now, one of those chance encounters on a Saturday afternoon and though I wear it at least once a week I don't think it's ever featured on the blog, so here it is.

TEMPTATION

It was bound to happen. I swear myself off shopping and Bec & Bridge announce a sample sale tomorrow and General Pants announce 15% off dresses for one day only.
That I can deal with, but then Tusk launch a new collection.
My life.

THAT DRESS

I said I'd go back for this dress in all colours and I managed to bag the black colour for $20. Bargain. I was too late to buy the neon yellow colour but it reminded me it's been ages since I whipped out these socks.
