Love, bubs and life on our little farm

I had a tough old day at work - learning the ropes of management when people are 30 years older than you and very resistant to.... well everything, makes for a long tough meeting that I was chairing. Being a scientist means I am great at locking myself away in a lab and researching alone or typing away writing scientific papers in solitude and even guiding students or training others in techniques is fine, but managing others careers day in day out, office politics and dealing with all the government red tape takes some getting used to.

So when I am feeling drained, shopping and fashion is my best pick me up (that and my horses but that is not such a crash hot area at the moment!). Today I treated myself to a pair of cute ballet flats with pointed toe and buckles on them (I am partial to a buckle decal on a shoe I must confess) in black. Classic and perfect for wearing with my cropped skinny pants.

And how about some cute Forever New dresses to lift the soul - I love the little white lace dresses that are around at the moment. Portmans are doing a cute one too.


And the Age of Innocence collection by Forever New has a number of dresses I would happily wear to a summer beachside wedding I have coming up early next year.


And now back to planning my wardrobe to pack for our Sydney trip - seems jeans are going to be the go thanks to some temperatures that look too low for my Qld bones! SHame as I did have some cute skirts and dresses picked out!
