I’m in Melbourne again for work today and I have quite a bit of travel coming up this month so life is going to be hectic. Business travel might sound glamourous, but it’s not all it’s cracked up to be. In fact, it can be down right exhausting at times, but I guess someone has to do it. I tend to feature what I’ve worn to work on FFF, but today I’m showing you my weekend style for something different. I wore this outfit for a casual dinner with family on Sunday night where I got to see my gorgeous six week old niece. There is nothing quite like a dose of baby love to put everything back into perspective. It would be remiss of me to post today without acknowledging the significance of Remembrance Day. In Australia and many other parts of the world, we engage in one minute’s silence at the eleventh minute of the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. This minute of silence allows us to reflect on the supreme sacrifices our service men and women have made defending our country. I love the Australian way of life and for all those that have defended our culture, values and freedom I am humbled and truly grateful. We will remember them. Lest we forget.

After being absent from the blog few weeks, it’s good to be back! Apologies that the post is late tonight but the storms in Sydney are playing havoc with my internet connection and it’s a miracle I got this up at all! The break allowed me to recharge the batteries and return with a new enthusiasm. For those living on the other side of the globe, it may have escaped your attention that yesterday was Melbourne Cup day, and while I am in Sydney, this truly is the race that stops a nation! While there certainly is some interest in the 24 horses that compete in the race, there is just as much interest on the fashions on the field. Unlike those down south who get a public holiday for cup day, those of us in Sydney have to work. That said, I did have a cup function in the afternoon at The Ivy so I had to dress for both events without too much trouble changing over and my Zara jacket created the perfect transition. This is basically the one day of the year that I always wear a dress to work! Read on for all the details …

Wow it’s Wednesday again! This week has whizzed by! You may have noticed that I’m sporting a new (much shorter!) do this week. I was a very pampered guest at Toni and Guy Cronulla on the weekend and I’m loving my shorter locks. I promise I’ll share all the details on Friday but for now it’s on to this weeks Fresh Fashion Forum. If you are a regular visitor I’m guessing you are somewhat shocked by the fact that I’m not wearing pants today. I shared with you over a year ago that I only own one skirt, a classic black pencil skirt. Nothing has changed, this is still my only skirt and it’s high waisted to boot, which is not my usual style at all! It has been well over 12 months since I have worn it so I thought it was about time it got another run. It will probably be at least another year before it sees the light of day again. I really just don’t get skirts and dresses, unless of course I’m going to a ball or a wedding! Photo’s today are down by the lake and the resident black swans are photo bombing nicely 🙂 Read on for all the details …

Hey there! It’s been a while, but I’m in Melbourne for work again today so I’m featuring an outfit that I wore to work yesterday. If you had told me a year ago that I would be rocking hot pink pants I would have laughed but hey, a lot can change in a year and having this blog is constantly forcing me to step outside my comfort zone. Sydney has been unseasonably hot, reaching tops of 35c so it seemed perfect to go bold on top as well. Cobalt is one of my all time favourite colours and I think it pairs perfectly with pink. After a small taste of summer, Melbourne is treating me to bone-chilling lows of 8c which is why Sydney will always be the better city in my book. Read on for all the details …

Why hello again! Thanks so much for stopping by again for another link up. Firstly, I have to apologise to Victoria of The Mummy Chronicles. Last week I announced the name of the new link up as Whatcha Wearing Wednesday, but I have just realised it is exactly the same as her’s. Oops! Great minds think alike I guess! Clearly a name change was needed but I had nothing so I surveyed Mr SFH (no help!) and The Enabler before settling on Fresh Fashion Forum. I have done extensive research (5 minutes of googling!) and it does not appear to be in use so I’m going with it! Anyway after a false start it’s onwards and upwards. Despite it being Spring, we have had some distinctly winter like weather in Sydney for the last month or so but I’m working on the theory that if you build it they will come, or in my case, if you dress like it they will come. Sunny yellow pants are the epitome of Spring in my book and I’ve matched them with a super lady like bow shirt (very unlike me!), a lightweight trench to keep the chill away and neutral accessories finish it all off. This week I’m also trying to up my photo game. I’m not going to be winning any awards any time soon, but at least I’m out of the backyard! Read on for all the details …
