The end of a weekend in Noosa (and the lime blazer again!)

Hi all! Well you all had a peek of the lime blazer that I bought in Brisbane. I love it THAT much that I had to wear it out again on our last night in Noosa. :)

We went for a fantastic meal (and cocktails!) at bistro c, which was right on the beach. Fun!

My new lime blazer - you can't really see much else of the outfit in these pics so I wont bother listing them
Blazer, Dissh.

 

 

 

I wore my extensions again....

In the evening they blend pretty well. I've not worn them in daylight yet!

Before dinner we took a stroll to the backpackers that I'd stayed in last time. We didn't go in as I'm pretty sure we'd have looked out of place!

This was where we ate!

Right on the beach!

We had a lovely meal - go to bistro c if you're ever in Noosa!

Here's a sneak peek of one of the pairs of earrings I bought in Brisbane.
Skull earrings, Lovisa; Sunglasses, O'Neill.

And before we knew it it was time to head back to the airport. BOO!

What I wore: splashes of pink

Howdy all, happy Tuesday! Yesterday I wore a style I'd wanted to wear for a while, but hadn't found the 'right' top for...well I found the right top on Sunday afternoon! Yay!

The top says "Live your life in colour" so I added several bright pink accessories. They don't call me Pink Princess Sadie at work for nothing! ;)

Blazer, Matalan; T-shirt, Cotton On; Skirt, H&M; Leggings, Glassons

Watch, Michael Kors via Shopbop; Skull bracelets all Shh By Sadie

Ring, H&M

Pink flower earrings, Shh By Sadie

Close up!! I like to think my fellow bloggers and I live colourfully, right?!?!

This is one of my favourite necklaces that I have made. Skulls and neons! Double yay!

What I wore: to an impromptu black tie awards ceremony

Hi all! TFIF! I'm sure you all hear me there!!

On Wednesday afternoon the bf rang me to say we'd been invited to a black tie dinner at 6.30pm that day - flights had been delayed due to the bad weather here in NZ and so they needed bums on seats at the awards being hosted by the university we both work for. 

Sir Graham Henry was honoured at the awards - that was news for me to tell my rugby mad father!

On one hand I thought, well that's nice - a chance to wine and dine and get spruced up. 

But on the other hand I thought - I have nothing to wear (I am either too chubby at the moment to wear some of my clothes or have left the dressier of my items in Wales as I don't tend to wear them much here!!), 

will I get stuck sat on my own whilst the bf has to schmooze as part of his job, 

and how the heck am I meant to stick to Weight Watchers at a three course meal!?

 In the end I made the decision to just go with it and loosen up a bit! (I've become a bit hermit like lately - do you ever get like that!?).

And so I rushed home and pulled this dress from a ziplock storage bag I'd left on the floor of my closet.

I also must apologise for the photos. It's something I the bf and I had words about!! He needs to help me get better pics rather than just snapping 5 awful ones and thinking the job's done! Ha!

Dress, Max; Tights, Primark; Sandals, Matalan

Yeah my eyes are closed but the bf only took pants photos so this one was one of the best!!

At the end of the night after several glasses of vino!
Sequin blazer, New Look

Clutch, Bracher Emden London via TK Maxx

This was the only (bad) shot of the detail on my silk dress. And half an earring. Disappointing!

 And these are awful snaps too. I need to get a new bf ;P

Rings, gifted; antique diamante bracelet, thrifted; Tiffany charm bracelet; beaded bracelet Shh By Sadie

 

What are your weekend plans?

What I wore: silver sparkles

Hello all! How was your weekend? I am getting over my cold at last - yay! And only one day left till I go to Mauritius! Double yay!

On Friday I'd promised my sister that I would go for a quiet drink with her, and despite my whinging and stinking cold all day, she held me to my promise! We had a great laugh though and after a 20 minute walk along what I can only describe as a slippery wet country HILL road, in massive platforms, and no lights - with a mist covered paddock next to us, we crashed a party at a cottage that our Mum and Auntie had attended. A bit random!

Here's what I wore (these photos look a terrible quality - sorry :( )

Skirt, H&M (NEW!); top, Tempt; Jacket, Primark; tights, Primark; Shoes, Number One Shoes

Headband, Alannah Hill; earrings (just seen) Shh By Sadie

Charm bracelet, Tiffany & Co; Cuff - stolen from my sister!; Black ring, Topshop; Silver ring, gift.

 I normally wear gold toned jewellery so it was nice to change to silver for the evening - do you normally wear gold or silver jewellery?

Merry Christmas Eve!

Hi all, I just wanted to wish you all a merry Christmas! It's been almost three weeks since I came back to Wales and time has been flying by. I've not had a chance to come online much so here's a peek at what I've been doing lately...

Getting festive with the family - and Mum's wonky Christmas tree - bless it!!

 

Spending LOTS of time with my little niece who is VERY excited about Santa!! (And her two aunties being home for Christmas of course - she came running in the house yesterday morning shouting "AUNTIES AUNTIES!" So cute.)

One of the four angels my niece and I made for her tree. She loves making things as much as I do! :)

I've been picking up some cheap bits and pieces for my holiday to Mauritius in January :)

Wrapping looooads of presents - I must say I am very happy with my wrapping paper selection this year, festive birds! Love it!

Some of the jewellery bargains I've treated myself to....

I've switched back to my wintery OPI nail colours to suit the season too!

I've bought (and worn) this new Topshop jacket and Primark vest.

And been wearing my new LBDs too! (Left, Portmans; right, Trelise Cooper).

 Hope you've been having a very merry time too and wish you all the best for your Christmas festivities. Thanks for your kind friendship this year, I've really enjoyed it.

Speak soooon,

Sadie

New in: Hot pink Zara blazer

Howdy! Yay for Friday! It's Friday night here and I've just spent a few hours catching up with friends in town. I also popped into a dept store on the way to meet them and bought a new turquoise nail varnish - I will share that with you another time!

I've been keen to find a bright pink blazer for a while but as NZ's been in winter, there wasn't anything quite like this in the stores here. I almost bought one in Dotti, but it wasn't worth the $100 price tag. In the end I picked this Zara one up on eBay for a mere 30 pounds, including p&p! It arrived yesterday and I had to wear it to work that day - they don't call me Pink Princess for nothing!!

Blazer, Zara; Trousers, TK Maxx, Shoes; Number One Shoes; Watch, Michael Kors

Earrings: Shh By Sadie

Flamingo top, gift from my sister; Parrot ring, Diva; Black ring, Topshop.

 

 

I'm also going to wear this top and blazer tomorrow for the craft fair as the pink and flamingos will go very well with my branding! :D

What are your weekend plans??
