Daily Outfit: A friendly dinner

Caught up with a dear old friend pre-Christmas frivolity for curry and a movie. Sounds like a proper date, I know!




PS. Like the manfriend's retro rollerskates?!

Daily Outfit: Jump, Jump!

Getting more ridiculous day by day.


Daily Outfit: The Red Dress

This dress makes me so happy! You wouldn't know from looking at my face...




Ps. We're almost up to 2012 outfit shots! Novel, I know.

Daily Outfit: Shower

My cousin had her baby shower just before Christmas. I had a Frenchy thing going on (when do I not?!) and wanting to enjoy my baby-free stomach.




Strange coloured sky!

Daily Outfit: Getting Married

Thankfully not my own wedding. Maybe one day.




My cousin got married at the beautiful Queens St Theatre just before Christmas. We had so much fun! Dancing with my dad to Rock Lobster and turning around to find him imitating a lobster on the floor...

Daily Outfit: Hot summer

Too hot to show my face. Loving this secondhand skirt this summer!


Journeys through Oz

Just before I left for my trip I scored big at my local secondhand bookshop, coming away with a lovely hardcover collection called Journeys through Oz.




I love the stories, love the musical, love the movie, and even love the creepy sequel.

Daily Outfit: Christmas Cheer

I maybe/probably/definitely forgot to wish you a very Merry Christmas but you all know I was thinking of you over at Sequin Cat HQ.

Let us continue to celebrate, be silly and merry with a photo of me after some delightful wine at my work Christmas lunch. Say hello (again!) to my wonderful bridesmaid dress!


She's a winner

Just before Christmas, Natalie from So Much to Tell You contacted me to let me know I was the lucky winner of their Frankie Diary giveaway!





I've never won anything before so I was rather thrilled to find such a lovely parcel waiting for me when I got home from overseas.






As an organised (obsessive?) Virgo, there's nothing I love more than a well-considered diary. I just love how this one features a month at a page but then also has week by week so you can look at things in more detail. It even includes fun sections at the back like budgets and calling cards! Definitely a top replacement for last year's super fun rainbow Kikki K. diary.




Checking out my birthday week





Perfect for the start of another school year!











All bound up in a lovely hardcover. It's going to be such a good year!

Thank you Natalie; thank you  So Much to Tell You.

Daily Outfit: Channelling Audrey

Here's the plan - showcase the last few outfits from 2011 before the school year starts! Who's with me? (Promise I won't include any grungy travel wear)

 


A bit Audrey (I hope!) in a boatneck top and capri pants. I believe I rode my bike to work in this.

Worth the wait?

I am home.




After travelling for many weeks, I am back in my little cottage in Adelaide, sweaty and inspired to get back into life.




I am excited about this blog! I would (very much) like to sustain it during the academic year, as we try new things and go on more adventures.

Hello to you and you and you. It's going to be a great year.

Daily Outfit: Madame Ruffleton

I know I'm travelling. But. The internet has lots of tricks up its sleeves and I've been able to line up some posts for you in advance. They're just Outfit shots, but hopefully they'll tide you over till I'm back in the country.


Friends! I am getting so close to home. I know you've missed me. Right?!

I snaffled this number in an opshop a few weeks ago and thought it just the ticket for Sunday lunch with the inlaws on a lovely warm day.

Please ignore wrinkled purple elephant legs! Focus instead on my mastery of not showing snagged stockings.

I'm not much one for comfort wear. May I present then, Sequin Cat's version of trackpants!




Fun ruffled shirt and sequin leggings. Absolutely no need for polar fleece, thanks.

Sick of Daily Outfit shots yet? I'll be home soon, don't worry.

This was SUCH a good day! Relaxed vibes at work (no more students!) and the manfriend got the most excellent news. We invited his parents over and cracked some 2002 Moet....

Anybody feel like a break? Feel free to "Mark all as read". Sorry to not be doing my usual mix of posts.

Remember how I said yesterday that things were getting casual at school? Hot days sure prove this.

Oh, I'm a sneaky one alright. I got away with wearing jeans to work! Granted, the last few weeks of school are more and more casual but I do feel quite thrilled by this.

Aren't I doing a good job with all this scheduled posting?! I guess it goes to show how much of a blogging backlog there was over here chez Sequin Cat.

So pleased that I successfully navigated my first year of teaching.


Face of doom!

It doesn't seem right to post a picture of my bridesmaid dress without also including what went down at my sister's hen's night. Good times!

I've been trying to make my outfits more dramatic as of late and ended up wearing this on a flight to Perth... for my sister's wedding! My bridesmaid dress was amazing so I'll do my best to steal a photo from facebook.

I'm rather fond of this strange, stretchy textured tube dress (affectionately called "The Glowworm"), despite it being impossible to wear, and, uh, rather enlarging.




Ps. Happy Incredible 2012 friends! Hope it's a year of happiness for you all.
