My Style Diary - White Lace for Easter






Good morning! Happy Easter!

I've just got time for a very quick post today. I managed to take some quick snaps after getting back from church, and we're just about to leave to go to my Nonno and Nonna's house for  Easter lunch. As I've already mentioned, I have a weakness for white dresses, and this one is no exception! Anyway, I hope you're having a great day!

My Style Diary - Autumn Florals










Hello!
Over the past few days it's actually started to feel a little  more like autumn. I'm usually a total summer girl but for once I'm quite looking forward to the cooler weather. It poured down the other night and it was so nice to be snuggled up in bed listening to the rain...although the fact that it was still raining in the morning made getting up to go to work that much harder!

This is what I wore last night hanging out with my boyfriend. We were considering going to see a movie but in the end we just ended up chilling out and watching Gilmore Girls. It's my favourite TV show (and Tom actually really likes it too), so I really couldn't ask for a more perfect and relaxing night.

These floral jeans remind me of a pair I had when I was about 9. Now that I think about it, that was probably when I first became interested in clothes. I distinctly remember that I used to wear my cream rose printed jeans with a cute little navy blue beret, and it was my favourite outfit! I was so excited when I found this pair in dotti!

What I'm Wearing
Top - Witchery
Pants - Dotti
Boots - All Saints
Jumper - Country Road
Necklace - Saba
Watch - Thomas Sabo
Bracelets - Pandora and a gift

My Style Diary - Denim and Lace









Today has just been a very chilled out day so far. All my friends are either working or studying it seems so I'm just having to entertain myself! It's still very weird that I'm now the one with free time! Anyway, this top is from Asos and I love the lace detail on it. It's such a comfortable, simple shirt but the lace adds a nice delicate touch. My jeans are from Calvin Klein and are so so comfortable! Seriously the most comfortable jeans I've ever worn. The down side of that is that they do stretch out quite a bit, but I'm hoping they'll spring back to their original shape once they've been washed. Anyway, I'm off to have some lunch and read "Making money made simple" which is a book my Dad bought for me... probably in the hopes that it will encourage me to save more! So far it seems to be pretty interesting :). I hope you're having a great Sunday! 

What I'm Wearing
Top - Asos
Jeans - Calvin Klein
Shoes - Therapy from Transit
Bag - Country Road
Belt - My Mum's

My Style Diary - Out to Dinner in a Red Dress







So here's yet another new dress purchase! I bought this dress on the same day as the one in my previous post and I absolutely love it (but I promise that I'm now on a shopping ban!) The cut is so flattering with the wide fitted band 'round the waist and the full skirt, and I love the red colour. Red isn't a colour that appears very often in my wardrobe so it's nice for a bit of a change! The cut outs at the back add an interesting touch too. 

I almost didn't buy this, but the thing that really sold me was the fact that it can so easily be dressed up or down. From a nice dinner, to work, to just a relaxed day with friends I can see this dress getting a lot of use! 

For a dinner out with my family to celebrate my graduation I decided to pair it with these adorable bow heels that I picked up in London and some dangly earrings. I think it's safe to say that there will be many different outfit posts with this dress in the future!

What I'm Wearing
Dress - Tigerlily
Shoes - Office
Bag - Jigsaw
Earrings - Wild Lily Empire
Bracelet - (actually a necklace and from a local store)

My Style Diary - Crazy Colours for Brunch with the Girls


 






Hello :) Today I had a lovely morning catching up with my best friends over brunch. They've been really busy lately with uni so it was nice to be able to sit down for a few hours and have a good chat! 

I decided I wanted to dress up a bit this morning so I wore this super colourful dress I bought the other day. (I've developed a bit of a shopping problem now that I've started working and I think I need to impose a ban on myself...for a few weeks at least!). The bright colours are so summery and cheerful and I thought I'd better make the most of the warm weather that we have left. 

As you can probably tell, these are my favourite wedges, they are the most comfortable heels I own and I can actually walk in them! Usually I feel too over the top wearing heels (even if they are wedges) during the day, but I've decided that from now on  I'm not going to care about what other people think - if I feel like dressing up then I'll dress up!

What I'm Wearing
Shoes - Aldo
Bag - Jigsaw
Watch - Thomas Sabo

I hope you're having a good Saturday!

My Style Diary - Picnic by the Sea




I've been looking for a plaid shirt like this for quite some time but never seemed to be able to find one that was really "me". I just  happened to come across this one the other day at Cotton On and fell in love with the colour scheme and the relaxed feel of it. It's a lovely soft cotton, breezy and cool and just the kind of colours that I gravitate towards. It was perfect for a relaxing day catching up with friends and then heading to the beach for an evening picnic to celebrate my best friends 23rd birthday! 


What I'm Wearing
Shirt - Cotton On
Shorts - Sportsgirl
Shoes - from Paris
Bag - Jigsaw
Necklace - Swarovski

My Style Diary - Feeling Girlie



Second post for the day! This is what I wore today just hanging out with my boyfriend. I've had this dress for years and it's one of my favourites. It's held up really well considering that it was from Cotton On and cost about $15 if I remember correctly! They have some great dresses if you take the time to hunt :)

What I'm Wearing
Dress - Cotton On
Bag - Jigsaw
Shoes - Therapy from Transit
Watch - Thomas Sabo
Bracelets - Pandora and from a local store
Ring - from San Gimignano

My Style Diary - You were my first friend







Hello :) So here's yet another outfit of the day post (from last week!). A very simple and comfy outfit but made a bit more interesting with some fun accessories. I love my owl ring which was a Christmas present from a few years back. Owl accessories or prints seem to be everywhere at the moment, and this one is so cute :). I also decided to add a pop of colour with a red lip and finally had a chance to try out this teal coloured nail polish. It's an awesome colour but can be a bit hard to co-ordinate with! 

Anyway, that's it for now. I think I'm going to try and do a few more posts today and then catch up on some Vampire Diaries tonight! It's been very strange not being at uni anymore! Usually Saturdays were always dedicated to study but now it's like "...hmmm I've done all my jobs around the house...now what?" (I've spent a rather large part of the afternoon watching youtube videos actually!)

What I'm Wearing
Top - Pull and Bear
Shorts - Zara
Boots - Betts
Bag - Jigsaw
Owl Ring - Wild Lily Empire 
(No longer available but they have lots of other cute rings!)
Bracelets - Pandora and a birthday gift
Earrings - Local store
Nail polish - OPI Yodel me on my cell
Lipstick - Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet No. 40 "La Sensuelle"

My Style Diary - White and Tan



I wore this dress out to dinner with my family and family friends on Friday night. I absolutely love white dresses because you can do so many different things with them and this one is particularly great because it's so comfortable and easy to wear.  That's one of the key things for me - I like clothes that are easy to throw on and look effortless but still put together, nothing uncomfortable or too fussy. One of the reasons I was hesitant to start this blog was because I thought my style was too boring. Some bloggers outfits are beautiful but so intricate and... well, complicated I guess. I love those kind of outfits but when it comes to things that I would actually wear I'm much more simple and laid back.

Thank you very much to my Mum who took these photos! We were in a bit of a rush so only managed to take a few quick snaps!

What I'm Wearing
Dress - Tigerlily
Belt - Trenery
Bag- Jigsaw
Shoes - Aldo

Oh also, I'm trying to be better at linking the pieces that I'm wearing and that are still available. Hopefully it's helpful :)

My Style Diary - Khaki Shorts, Florals and Ankle Boots











I've always been a bit hesitant about ankle boots just because I'm so short and I feel like sometimes they're not the most flattering. I finally found a pair that I really like and don't make my legs look even shorter (I hope!). I like the fact that they have a nice solid heel that is tall enough to give me a bit of extra height but still allows me to walk around without wobbling everywhere! (I am one of the most clumsy people and heels can sometimes be a bit dangerous for me!).

What I'm Wearing
Cami - Forever New
Top - Forever New
Shorts - Refuge from City Beach 
Bag - Jigsaw
Boots - Betts
Necklace - a local store
Watch - Thomas Sabo
Bracelets - Pandora and from China
Ring - Dotti
