So at lunch today I picked up this skirt at Zara. I confess to loving the top as well, but unless I win the lottery, I think my shopping quota for this month is done.
It’s totally awesome, with pockets, and wonderfully full and fifties fabulous. So me.
And now I want these shoes to go with it. Somebody stop me.
Zara Flared Studio Skirt, $139

It’s the middle of the week and hopefully you realise it’s all downhill from here, but in there interim, if you just need a little something to get you through hump day, here are a few little things to brighten or spark up your Wednesday.
1. Visit the Bored Button website. Thanks to Kerri Sackville for this one, I didn’t get anything done for the rest of the day. You will never be bored again, and you might learn something.
2. Take a F.R.I.E.N.D.S trivia quiz. If you are as big a fan of that show as I, you won’t get anything done for the rest of the day. Plus you will feel incredibly intelligent knowing a lot about some fairly silly things. Thanks to Meagan Harding for sharing this link – I’ll take you on any day.
3. Spend some time perusing the H&M Australia website, and pick out what you want to buy when they open on Saturday 5 April in Melbourne. I have a list as long as my arm…
4. Play on Pinterest. You know you want to!
5. Check out these awesome Prada sunglasses I’m selling on eBay. Think of all the outfits your could wear them with! SUCH a bargain. Bid now!
6. Take a walk outside, rain, hail or shine. Sit and have a cup of tea somewhere. Buy a cupcake. ENJOY THE TEA AND CUPCAKE WITHOUT YOUR MOBILE PHONE IN FRONT OF YOU. Just watch the world go by.
7. Create your own ecards for friends. Make them funny, silly, witty, smutty, clever or kind. Go crazy!
8. Consider your next haircut. What have you always wanted to do and didn’t? Take the chop, or try a new colour. See what it looks like before you jump in the deep end with Taaz. Upload your pic and away you go!
9. Pretend you are not at work – you’re just wasting time anyways. Research your next holiday to Paris (where else??) and start planning that savings account.
10. Fill a cart on your favourite online shopping website, then buy a tattslotto ticket. You just never know.
Happy Wednesday!
Cute top. Cute skirt. Cute shoes. Go Blue.

Finally! The last day of the carnival. My knees hurt. My back hurts. I’m tired. But the show must go on and the last hurrah of the Spring Racing Carnival for 2013 would bring rain, wind and a whole lot of fun.
The weather was proving difficult to dress for and so I committed the fashion crime of the century – I wore pants to Emirates Stakes Day. At seventeen degrees with predicted showers and with two rather bruised and battered knees from my fainting spell on Oaks Day, I felt there was no better time than now to break the fashion rules. Thursday afternoon saw me scouring the wardrobe for alternate options and after a quick trip to the tailors, my pants were ready to go.
Keeping my colours light for Spring, the pink ASOS pants, white ZARA top and nude Sachi heels made for a fresh outfit on a blustery day. Amusingly, my oversized Morgan & Taylor summer hat went very well with my Wayne Cooper coat, H&M gloves and Kmart clutch – all in black!! I love the contradiction of Melbourne weather. The poor kids entering Fashions on the Field stood in line with bare arms and legs shivering through the cold, with smiles on their faces the whole time.
After the merriment of the competition was completed, our team headed to the Birdcage for a well earned champers at Bar Schweppes by Broadsheet, downing bubbles and boutique cocktails like water and munching on the gourmet delights like we hadn’t eaten in a week. Much dancing was done, until the music stopped and the carnival was over.
A final hurrah in the carpark rounded out another amazing week at Flemington and the Spring Racing Carnival for 2013. My many thanks to Emma and Olivia for being such great teammates, and MiNC Events for being such wonderful facilitators of the Fashions on the Field competition. To Sachi Shoes for my super comfy heels for the week, Morgan and Taylor for my headpieces and Sol Hermana for dresses – I am a very spoilt girl and it was my pleasure to wear your beautiful things!
And to all my concerned friends – I will go to the doctor this week!!!
