I hope I’m not making you all sick with my tweets and instagrams of me enjoying the sunshine out here in Brisbane. I’m having a wonderful time spending time with my family and catching some sun, I’m out exploring the city by myself mostly though so it’s nice to share it with you all. It’s also pretty awesome not having to worry about getting enough … Continue reading Sunshine She’s here, You Can Take Break
A couple of days ago we drove out to Tamborine Mountain’s Skywalk. The walk is half an elevated walkway and half through the upper forest to the creek. The elevated section is 30metres high and have superb views of the mountain. My camera does not do them justice. It is designed to showcase the environment without damaging or disturbing it. The section through the forest … Continue reading Put Them in a Tree Museum
I’m not sure how many outfit photos I’ll be posting from Brisbane. Before I arrived I thought I could get loads of cool outfit photos as I wasn’t needing to wear boring workwear most days. Turns out I massively underestimated the heat, 30degrees and rising makes a sweaty Lauren which does not make for good photos. These are some quick photos I took on the … Continue reading Daisy Dukes, Bikini on Top
I managed to do most of my sale shopping from the comfort on my bed on Boxing Day morning. I knew it was a great idea getting the man a new iPad, I got his old one. I did pop into town briefly and into Gap. I’m so glad I did as I picked up these beauties. I’ve been wanting some coated jeans for a … Continue reading I Say, Take Me Out
The lovely Claire over at TwentySix people sent me this funky sweater. The graphic pattern is super cool and versatile.

Yesterday was the day I had to start my Christmas shopping. I’ve been so busy at work this year that I’ve been really disorganised and not even given a thought to what presents to get. I have to say I’m pretty chuffed with myself as I managed to get everything in one shopping trip, despite the storm like weather. So what to wear Christmas shopping … Continue reading Time for Presents
Today is Save the Children Christmas jumper day. I’d be lying if I said I have mine on, it wouldn’t be appropriate for work unfortunately. Here’s me at the blogger Christmas party on Tuesday though. It was such a good night, thank you to Scott and Steph for arranging. So get your jumper on, tweet it and text to donate some money. It is Christmas … Continue reading It’s Beginning to Look a lot like Christmas
I’ve not posted a wishlist in ages and since it’s nearly Christmas (and my birthday) I thought it was about time for another one, hint hint. There’s a few classics I’ve been wanting forever but never seem to pick up, camel coat, leather trousers. A few big tends this season, fedora hat, tartan crop top. A few because they are so pretty, brocade and lace. … Continue reading All I Want for Christmas
Last week I skipped off to St Andrews for a work conference. Unfortunately, I had no photographer so instead of getting some amazing ootd shots with beautiful Scottish scenery I got some in my hotel room. It was a really nice hotel room though. These boots were a Christmas present from my lovely man last year. They are my staple throughout the the colder months, … Continue reading These Boots are Made for Walking
