Happy Friday Lovelies!

Wow I cannot believe that today is already Friday the 10th of January!!!!

How fast is this year going?!...well to be honest my working week has dragged on a bit...     but it's Friday afternoon, the sun is shining, the weather is warm, so I really can't complain.

Today is my last outfit post from The Work Diaries collaboration with Portmans.

I'd like to say a massive thank you to Portmans Belconnen for being so amazing at what you do and for allowing this collaboration to happen. The girls that work there are truly incredible and are so helpful. They have excellent customer service and whether you need a new dress, clutch or sunglasses, you can trust that this store is the best place to start looking.

Today's outfit from Portmans shows that a well tailored dress and a beautiful print can make you feel on top of the world. The dress is enhanced by the white clutch and shoes from Wittner because it picks up the white in the print of the dress. The outfit is powerful, bold, feminine and oh so flattering.

Hope you all have a fabulous weekend and enjoy the sunshine. Love TWD xo

Working Chic in White

HAPPY NEW YEAR LOVELIES

Hope you have all had an amazing holiday and are ready to get back into work.

Today was my first day back at work and as expected it went slowly....very slowly!!!!

But you know what can only make work get better? Well by wearing an outfit that makes me feel happy, confident and chic of course!!

Portmans have hit the nail on the head with their Diamond Days Dress.  

It is part of the Portmans Signature Collection and trust me this dress defines the word chic. 

It is the perfect white dress to make a lasting impression. 

 I am absolutely loving the white trend at the moment. 

Whats not to love? It makes you look tanner, slimmer and taller.

When styling, raw was the direction I took; It makes the outfit aesthetically pleasing to the eye, yet simplistic enough that you admire the dresses form. A black clutch with gold detailing is the only accessory you need to enhance the refined detailing. 

 When I think of appropriate make up for work I always think of a fresh face, touch of mascara and you can never go wrong with a bold lip. Bright lips are on trend at the moment and the Portmans orange Fruit Punch lip colour is just the right colour to mix a little pleasure with business.

Finish the outfit off and give it some edge with the Ralex heels from Wittner. 

With these heels on you won't be able to stop yourself from strutting into work!

Trust me, you won't be able to help yourself from feeling happy, confident and chic when you strut into work wearing this gorgeous outfit from Portmans.

To all of you who have started back at work this week, I hope you all ease right back into it and are inspired by todays outfit. Love TWD x

Day to night

Morning Lovelies

So how do you style your work outfit to transform it from day to afterwork drinks?

Start off with the Big Cat Fit and Flare Dress from Portmans. It has a feminine silhouette, features a cut out keyhole design on the back and has a gorgeous animal print. 

Styling for day time work  

Start off with some white strappy heels from Wittner like the Ralex shoe. White heels are perfect for day time because they can instantly lightened up a dark outfit. Finish the outfit off by accessorising it with a big bag like the Maisy Double Zip Work Tote and simple  sunglasses from Portmans.

Styling for afterwork drinks 

Change into a black pointed shoe like the Louise Bar Trim Pump from Portmans for a more sophisticated look.  Add a bright lip colour, the Portmans Lip Flamingo gives your lips the utimate colour boost while keeping them moisturised for long-lasting wear. Finish off with a cute clutch and a black cuff and your ready for drinks!

Hope you have a fabulous day and use this styling advice on how you can transform your outfit from day to night! Love TWD xo

Happy Friday Lovelies

Todays outfit is gorgeous, it is statement dressing at its best.

WHITE ON TREND!

Happy Hump Day Lovelies!

 

Sometimes it's nice to minimise an outfit by not accessorising at all.

 

I must admit that sometimes I get over excited and make the outfit all about the accessories; it's nice to just focus on the details of the garment itself. 

 

Take the Hannah Open Back Dress from Portmans for example. 

This dress is effortless with it's pleats and cool fit and flare silhouette.

It features a racer back with a minor cutout design.

It is feminine, flattering, bold and modern.

 

All you need is a bold lipstick colour like Portmans Lip Fruit Punch and a birght white sandal like the Ralex shoe from Wittner to complete the look.

White is such a vibrant colour this Summer and bonus it make you look tanned!

White dominated the runway and is now ready to dominate your workplace.

 

Hope you all have a gorgeous day! Love TWD xp

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

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
