Studs and Satchels

hello everyone!

i hope all of you had a very merry christmas, and got lots of lovely presents!!!
I wish i was one of those bloggers who had loads of christmas photos to share with you, but unfortunately my christmas attire consisted of my bathing suit, so in order to avoid self mortification and scaring away all of you lovely readers i will not be posting them..........too frightening!

i do however have an outfit post from today :)





i had to work today for a few hours so this is what i wore.
I dressed for warmth as i knew work would be freezing as usual, but when i finally finished and we went to take these photos, i almost died it was so hot!



The black and gold ring, and the orange and gold ring are both lovely christmas presents that i received from my dear mum!

i adore chunky rings, and have been in need of more so you can imagine my face when i got these :)

what do you think?

black maxi skirt - jay jay's
cropped studded jumper - dotti
tan brogues - sportsgirl
satchel - thrifted
bangles - diva

I did get a few more jewellery pieces so i will try get some photos taken so i can show them to you. I really can't believe christmas is over, it just went so quickly. How did everyone's day go? Any exciting surprises???

Ooohh and i thought i would tell you, i was browsing asos the other day and i came across this label which i haven't heard of before, but i have just fallen in love with it!! It's called TBA and oh my goodness i want these dresses so bad!




is it just me or are these not stunningly divine?

i adore the collars, and have a very keen eye on the last velvet dress.
it's sooooo pretty!

still a bit pricey, but worth it???

<3

love and hearts,

Claire

  3. You look lovely Claire, I adore the maxi skirt! I love ASOS, but their shipping to the US is soooo unreliable!

  8. Those dresses are divine, but I'm pretty sure at least the second to last one could be very well approximated with an altered vintage dress!

    I love your long skirt. i wish I could pull that off! And geez, Christmas in a bathing suit... I can't even imagine! Sounds great though :)

  14. Xmas in togs? Truly Austrlian then!
    I was thinking that wearing a jumper was very brave! Love the maxi skirt.
    I've been lusting after TBA for quite a while now, especially their lastest collection here!
    My xmas now is never too exciting, I knew the two things I was getting/already had (mum's old car and pencils). But at least it was fun watching my little sister play the new Wii.
    Merry xmas!

  19. I love TBA too! They are so expensive though :( So sad! I really really love your outfit and those rings are amazing. I am jealous you got to spend Christmas in your bathing suit... I probably shouldn't complain about a white Christmas but oh my gosh it is SO COLD here!

  20. oooh those rings <3
    you look great! I've been thinking of buying either a black maxi dress or skirt, might head into jay jay's sometime soon :)
    haha I'm sure you in bathers wouldn't scare people!

  22. Very pretty look and your jewelery really completes the look. Another winner. Oh and how I wish my Christmas could have been spent in a swimsuit, that must have been so nice.
