The Square Root

Hello Lovelies

Hope you have all had an amazing day at work!

I am very excited to being showing you todays post, as it is the first outfit from a very special collaboration with Portmans. Portmans is the fashion destination for metropolitan girls who like to stay on top, which is why it is the perfect label for The Work Diaries.

Todays outfit explores structure and simplicity; it is a fresh summer look with a modern edge. I have paired Portmans Grid Print Pencil Skirt with the Cutout Colour Block Tank.

The lemon yellow tank enhances the grid print of the skirt which makes it hot this season for the girl with an edge. The tank features a relaxed yet sophisticated back cutout detail. 

This outfit works because the lose fitted tank juxtaposes the slim fitted pencil skirt.

It's bold and packs quite a punch! I have accessorised the outfit with Portmans Stevie Barrel Bag and Cat eye styled Sunglasses; and finished it off with Ralex shoes from Wittner. 

Hope you all get a good nights sleep and are ready to dress to impress for tomorrows work day. Love TWD xo

Wildwood Days

Morning Lovelies

Wildwood - an uncultivated wood or forrest that has been allowed to grow naturally.

That is the very essence of Canberra designer Sara Wurcker's boutique Wildwood.

Located in Lonsdale Street Traders, Braddon, Sara sells her very own independent fashion label Hunter. Hunter is feminine and bold, with this season's collection having modern crops, denim, sheer and young silhouettes.

Todays outfit is from Hunter the label, Wildwood.

The top is denim and has a modern crop. The pants, being the feature of the outfit, explore a black and white tartan print and have a high waisted silhouette.

I have completed the look by accessorising with the Stud Base Tote from Collette and Milled shoes from Wittner. This has kept the outfit on this season’s monochromatic trend.

 

Hope you all have a great start to your working week. Love TWD xo

Detox

Morning Lovelies

 

This morning I sit at my work desk feeling enlightened.

 

Why you may ask?

 

Well this morning at 6:30am I tried power yoga for the first time.

The class was heated to approximately 30 degrees and whilst I commenced the practise of yoga, I sweated out all of the toxins from my body.

 

After the class I felt refreshed and revitalised and can't wait to do it all again tomorrow! Power Yoga Canberra have an introductory offer of $20 for 10 consecutive days.

Try it and let me know how you liked it?

 

Today's outfits are from the Alice Be Curious Boutique.

With this festive season coming up you need to be wearing gorgeous outfits and you can guarantee on getting them from Alice Be Curious!

 

Hope you all have a fanastic day. Love TWD xo

Check Mate

Morning Lovelies

 

Continuing on from my Playing Checkers post, today's post gives style advice to keep your man on trend by dressing him in check print.

 

The key to wearing Check is to make sure that the squares stay straight and not distorted. Therefore loose and square fitted silhouettes work best with this print.

 

Check out the Canberra Centre's YD store. They are currently selling the Caine Shirt featuring the check print trend for men's wear. The shirt is a checked roll up shirt with a regular fit, featuring a narrow collar and back darts. I have layered the skirt over the Vinton Tee and paired it with Rex Super Skinny Jean and Minos Casual Shoes.

 

This look is more casual but can still be worn in the working environment. Hope you all are 'checking' this print out. Love TWD xo

Playing Checkers

Morning Lovelies!

 

Have you noticed how squares, checks and tartan prints have hit the catwalk through out the

New York, Paris and London Fashion Weeks?

 

Lanvin, Emilia Wickstead, Dolce & Gabbana and Tommy Hilfiger were just a few who presented top-to-toe looks of the check print.

The key to wearing a check print is to make sure that the silhouette of the garment, where it is check printed fabric, is square fitted. The print is most effective in a square fitted silhouette as the print is not distorted by the curves in your body.

 

'Check in' to the Alice Be Curious boutique to purchase garments from this trend.

 I have buttoned up the Cameo Symphony Shirt underneath the Cameo Paradise Dress White NS. I accessorised the outfit with earrings from Lovisa and Maxi shoes from Wittner.

 

Now you are all prepared to check mate this trend. Love TWD xo
