Moody Blooms

TREND ALERT! TREND ALERT!

 

MOODY BLOOMS

 

For a darker edge try wearing a moody bloom print to work.

Deep oranges, reds and blacks paired with modest skirt lengths and high necklines create the beautifully melancholic mood.

Perfect for an outfit when you want to be 'serious' and powerful!

 

This trend has been massive during the latest catwalks and is soon to be taking over our stores!

The look below is from the Alice Be Curious boutique.

The Honey and Beau Exotic Floral Skirt Print has been paired with a Finders Keepers Top. I accessorised the outfit with a bracelet and necklace from Lovisa and Maxi shoes from Wittner.



I hope you all have a lovely weekend. 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

Curiouser and Curiouser!

Have I gone mad?

 

I’m afraid so, your entirely bonkers.

 

But I’ll tell you a secret, all the best people are!

 

- Alice in Wonderland

Once upon a time there was a charming boutique in the New Action wonderland.

It was run by a mad hatter and sold the most winsome apparel.

Her philosophy was to replace fear of the unknown with curiosity

and that's what she did with her boutique 

Alice be Curious

 

Today's outfit is from the Alice Be Curious boutique.

The model is wearing Keepsake Chilled Heat Top Black and Finders Keepers Coming home Skirt. I have styled the outfit with White Plaited Tube Triangle Necklace from Lovisa and Saintly shoes from Wittner.

 

The outfit follows the trend of monochromatic, which has hit our stores pretty hard.

The trend is simple just keep it black and white!

Accessorise with jewellery and shoes to keep it bold and interesting.

 

 

It's a good idea to check out the Alice Be Curious Boutique today, especially because its a public holiday, it is located at:

3/1 Mews East
City 2601 ACT

 

or online at

Hope you are all having a lovely day. Love The Work Diaries

You may be asking yourself.....

 'How do I wear a denim jacket to work on a casual Friday?'

 

You need to pair the denim jacket with either a simple dress or a plain white t-shirt and jeans. Remember to 'KEEP IT SIMPLE' the denim jacket is a massive style icon so keep the rest of your outfit toned down as you want the denim jacket to be the main feature!

 

Hope you all have an amazing weekend. P.S. the weather looks like it is going to be great. YAY! Love TWD xo

I'm doing this for the thrill of it, killin' it

Morning Lovelies

Isn't Canberra's weather today beautiful?
The sun is out, the wind is currently hiding and the flowers have bloomed!

I personally love spring; it makes me happy.
I have always loved flowers and this time of the year.
When I was little, mum would take me for walks in my stroller and we would always arrive home with a bouquet of handpicked flowers.
 

This has most likely led to my love of floral prints.
The work place can be quite dull and when you wear a floral print it freshens up the working environment.

The skirt below is from Forevernew. The silhouette of the skirt is perfect for spring time as it is feminine and floaty. I have tucked in a white shirt to keep it corporate and suitable for the office. The outfit is quite fresh and modern and is likely to brighten up your day job.

I hope you have an amazing day. Love TWD xo

Cherry Blossoms in the Park

As the saying goes Spring has sprung in Canberra and there is no better way to fully embrace Spring than to visit Floriade, go to the races and wear floral prints. 

 

 This weekend's weather was perfect for a lovely stroll through the cherry blossoms.

And what better way to reminisce than to wear a cherry blossom print to work. 

 

So cruise into Monday with this free flowing feminine skirt from Pure Pod. Pair the skirt with a tightly fitted top, clutch and some heels and you'll be sure to make Monday your fun day.

 

To pre order this outfit you will need to contact Pure Pod via email at info@purepod.com.au.

 

At the moment other stores that sell floral prints are Sportscraft, Review and Veronika Maine at the Canberra Centre.

 

Hope you had a lovely day. Love TWD xo

RLBD - Reinvented Long Black Dress

Morning morning!

 

I used to work with a guy that would always greet me with 'Morning morning'

and depending on my mood it would either make me smile or infuriate me that he was a morning person and I was not.

 

Well anyways today is Monday.

Monday morning in fact and the reality is that the weekend is over...

and there is nothing like an amazing dress to put you in a good mood.

 

This dress is comfortable, environmentally friendly and is one of the most flattering garments that I have ever worn.

 

Pure Pod have designed the Alisma dress with an empire bust line, a mock front wrap skirt, caped sleeve and a beautiful square neckline which flatters most bust lines.

 

The dress is made from natural cotton fibres - Fair Trade Certified Organic cotton from India, the fabric is made in Melbourne and the garments are made in OZ!
