What’s In My Beach Bag?

What's in my beach bag?

{ Happy Friday peeps!  I had a Peking Duck dinner date last night so didn’t have time to prepare a post for today so I had a look at my unpublished drafts and here is what I found -’What’s In My Beach Bag?’!!!  I actually wrote this over a year ago…but it seems kinda apt because Melbourne has been crazy hot and great beach weather if you like getting sunburnt ;)  

Looking back at this post, I realised that I made a great investment by purchasing this DSLR camera for better photos :P   Anyway, on with the post and I wish all the Aussie peeps a happy long Labour Day weekend :)   4.5 hours till mine starts :)   (yes I am typing this whilst having a wee break at work – shhh!!!) }

Melbourne has been going through some sunny spells recently and you know what that means, right?  Time to hit the beach!  Here’s what I put in my beach bag :-

Outfit Of The Day : Lace & Mesh

ASOS lace dress, daily outfit blog, OOTD, ASOS cutout dress

Due to the lovely comments from my last OOTD post wearing my ASOS dress (you know who you are!), I’m back with another outfit of the day post wearing another dress (I bought 3!) from ASOS.  This is the ASOS lace and mesh dress $34.01.

Obviously, the dress looks ten times hotter on the ASOS model.  I really liked the straps which dropped to the side of my shoulder.  I paired it with nude patent heels from Rubi Shoes which I bought last week for $15 and a red lipstick from Australis.  Looking at the photos, I have realised that I need to wear more accessories…

Anyway, the back of the dress reveals a large cutout section.  Très risqué for moi as I am usually a conservative (read : frumpy) dresser, IMO.  The Husband says it is uber-sexy.  Unfortunately, it means that I cannot wear a bra with this dress…hence I have flatter-than-usual boobs…and I definitely have to wear nipple plasters; just in case it gets cold outside :P

I posed for these photos inside the house because even though there was sun outside, it was bloody freezing!  Turns out the best light is in one of our bathrooms so that’s why I am posing with bathroom tiles and a towel rack in the last photo – LOL.  Kudos to fashion bloggers who pose regularly outside for their blogs come rain or shine.  I’ll stick with beauty blogging in my PJs :)

So what do you think of this dress?  Is it something you would wear?  And do you want to see the 3rd ASOS dress I bought?

Outfit Of The Day : Winter Blues

It’s been too long since my last Outfit Of The Day post!  But that’s because I can’t pose for peanuts!  And getting my Husband to take a nice, flattering photo of me is almost impossible.  But I am determined to show you the new additions to my wardrobe.

I went ASOS crazy a couple of weeks ago and bought 3 dresses.  That is a BIG deal for me because it’s my first time buying clothes online (this ASOS swimsuit does not count!)  Anyway, this ASOS Blue Knitted Dress with Scoop Neck $29.75 was my favourite and the best-fitting out of the 3 dresses.

It’s perfect for Winter and I love this bright-ish shade of blue.  On the top, it is quite roomy so it can hide my food baby belly, but as it leads onto a fitted skirt, it isn’t frumpy.  It also comes in black and pink and I am tempted to buy them too.

As we are in the colder seasons of the year, it’s time to bring out my boots.  I love my boots.  I have way too many pairs of boots.  Do you love boots too?

Outfit Breakdown
