Australia Day celebrations

Last Thursday was Australia Day, so being a public holiday, I decided to head down the Great Ocean Road to enjoy the clear blue skies, the sun, surf and sand. It's been about 4 years since I did this drive and not sure why I haven't been sooner. The coastline is spectacular to look at. I thoroughly enjoyed the day.

Australian Open 2012

It was a ripper of a Sunday today. The Australian Open Tennis is currently on here in Melbourne and with the weather being so perfect today (actually it was a little warm and I did get a little colour) that I headed to Melbourne Park to watch some great tennis matches. There was plenty of action happening and I thoroughly enjoyed my day. I was so glad that I could actually dress like it was summer, which I haven't been able to do since returning to Melbourne as the weather has been far from the expected warm sunny days that one would anticipate to experience at this time of year. 

Anyway, I hope that you all had great weekends and would love to hear what you got up to.....

A blue affair

So this is the first official outfit post of 2012. I have a strong tendency to be attracted to the colour blue as you can see here, here, here and here.

These two pieces were the only items I bought in the post Christmas and New Year sales. I was a little disappointed that I didn't manage to prioritise my time more so that I could do more shopping and within the time that the sales were on. I really wanted to start the year afresh with a new wardrobe. But alas, that has not happened. Nevermind, that now gives me a good reason to frequent the weekend markets more.

Outfit Details:

Skirt: Jay Jays

Blouse: Temt

Singlet: Target

Shoes: Betts

Necklace: Lovisa

Ring: Lovisa

Watch: Vintage

Accessory Love

Well today is the last day of my holidays. I guess all good things have to come to an end at some point. It's a shame really. I was starting to get used to the laid back lifestyle of doing what I wanted to do at my own leisure.

During my break I thought I would do a lot more shopping than I actually ended up doing. I found some fantastic accessories more so than clothing during the New Year Sales. So over the course of the next few weeks, I hope to be showing off all my latest purchases, but for now here is a sneak peak at some of my new accessory loves.

Summer Break

Happy New Year everyone.

Welcome to 2012!

I hope that you all had a wonderful time celebrating in the new year. I was lucky enough to be able to go out dancing with my family and friends. It was a great night out, in which I don't get to do very often. So I think that might be one of things to do more of in 2012 - go out dancing.

I'm fortunate to still be on holidays for the rest of this week. I'm not sure how I'm going to get out of the routine I currently find myself in - sleep in, exercise, go out for lunch with friends, watch movies, do dinners with family members, and stay up late doing whatever it is I feel like because I know I can repeat the same again the next day.

Here is a small snippet from my summer holidays so far.

Christmas Day at my Grandma's beach house.

Trying to hit golf balls at the driving range. I don't think that I have actually picked up a golf club in the last 5 years and probably back then I only hit half a dozen balls. Lots of swinging was happening but not so much of striking the ball.

Magnetic Island day trip.

New Year's Eve outfit

I'd love to hear how you celebrated your New Year's and if you are on holidays what's been your favourite part so far.
