A bit of formal fun.
What better way than to personalise corporate wear than with a bright jacket and colourful beads?


Dress: Max Tweed and black trim
Jacket: Dotti Orange crop blazer

Shoes: Hannah's Gold and Red ballet flats
tights: Black
Necklace: Topshop (ages ago) Multicoloured plastic beads
I didn't get up to too much today.

I actually spent most of the day playing Harry Potter Cludo with some friends.

I absolutely LOVE this new top from Max, the back is beautiful and lacy and the front is a really nice simple cowl neck.
I think this is the kind of top I could wear with jeans (like today) or wear with a skirt (and Blazer) to work.

overall, GREAT buy!

Top: Max cowl neck black chiffon with lace back
Jeans: Forever New Motor-cycle pale wash jeans

Hat: Hartleys Black sequins 
Belt: Max red thin leather look waist belt
Shoes: K-mart (BARGAIN) plain black heels

MyLove has been calling me "French Girl" haha. 
(I think he likes the outfit too)
This is my first attempt at Konad nail art..
I first chose two bright colours (I wanted to make a statement)


Blue: Bling Bright Blue
Red: Revlon Raven Red
(this wasn't my best paint job - but I will be tidying it up later anyway)


I then found my Konad supplies...


Special Polish: White
Image Plate: M57
Konad Scraper
Konad Stamp

This is actually really quick and easy to do.. at first I was pressing too hard when scraping (so I scraped off too much nail polish) and nothing was transferring to my nail. 
I finally figured out the right amount to pressure to apply when scraping and the nail polish pattern transfers really easily...

It is sort of like applying a film of dry nail polish when you stick it on your nail.
There is no need to wait for it to dry once you stick it. 
It is also really good because the nail polish just wipes of the skin (if you scratch with tweezers or something).
I used a cotton bud to press the pattern into my nails at the edges (as you can't really get the stamp completely against every part of your nail).

Don't forget to apply your topcoat.

Overall super easy process!

This is my end result.



This is where I purchased my products.

and here is a easy to follow youtube tutorial 
I told you the day would come when I would post this as an outfit of the day...

Well here we are, my (new) favourite top.
It fits so comfortably... hiding the bits I want hidden (my tummy)
I did by a size a bit bigger than I thought I'd fit because I wanted that looser look, and boy do I love it! 

(and it matches my (new) favourite pants my cranberry jeggings!)

Top: Romeo and Juliet Couture foil giraffe T-shirt
Pants: Max cranberry Jeggings

Shoes: Hannah's Gold and red ballet flats
Necklace: a gift from MyLove
Ring: a gift from MyLove 

AND: my nail polish even matches my pants perfectly!! 
Blue: Bling bright blue
Red: Revlon Raven Red
Zebra pattern: Konad Special polish white
Isn't it beautiful.
An Orange Crocodile Hermes Birkin.

there's just something magical about this bag... I think if I owned one I would just sit and look at it all day...


And for once Lilly (from Gossip Girl) got it right...
(apparently Kelly Rutherford is a Birkin collector and often uses her own bags as "props" on the show...I wonder if this one is really hers?)
