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

Lunch

When it comes to lunch time I always face the same dilemma...to buy or to pack lunch for work?

The thought of having someone else make my lunch is quite attractive but the thought of saving money always over rights my original thought...

 

The best way to save money and have a yummy lunch is to be organised.

When you go grocery shopping on the weekend think about buying items that  can make delicious meals and last a few days (for example laksa, lasagne, salad, quiche, curry etc) or try making Taste's Zucchini slice for an easy and yummy lunch idea.

 

Your colleagues will be jealous when they smell your lunch!

 

The dress below is from the clothing label Scarlette; it is easy to wear, comfortable and looks amazing on. I have accessorised the dress with jewellery from Lovisa and Sunglasses from Forevernew. Hope you like the look.

 

Love TWD xo

Monday Madness

Ahhhh the weekend is over and the madness of the working week has begun!

It's easy to feel a little depressed on a Monday morning so pick up your spirits with some electronic beats from Safia.

I love todays look as it features the Clothing Label Scarlette, created by local designer Steph Tallos. Her latest collection is inspired by autumn colours; plays with two dimensions and juxtaposes against three dimensional forms. The blocks of colour make the garments statement pieces and are easy to wear to the work environment.

Below the model is wearing Scarlette pants and top. The silhouette of the top is very in trend for the upcoming spring/summer style. I have styled the outfit with some cool head phones from Forevernew and bracelet from Lovisa. The look is very modern and the bold colours are a good way to stay away from black in the office space.

 

Just a quick FYI on Thursday I will be travelling to the USA where I hope to continue blogging and will try to update you regularly on the street style I discover on my travels. Love TWD xo
