Rundle Mall AW14 parade

Last Friday, my friend Amanda and I attended one of the free Rundle Mall AW14 fashion parades, which featured clothing from David Jones, Veronika Maine, Seduce, Peter Jackson, and shoes from Wittner and Betts. 

The stand-out for me were outfits from Veronika Maine. I have never shopped there or considered it to be my style just from looking in their shop window, but I was really impressed with the mix of roll-neck, sleeveless knits; fuller, below the knee skirts; and classic winter coats. 

Afterwards, we were treated to an after party, featuring wines and cider by Sidewood (Adelaide Hills) and delicious canapés. We also scored a goodie bag each, filled with vouchers, samples and lovely gifts. 

Though I am a Summer girl at heart, I love Winter fashion and am keen to stock up on some of those cosy knits, tailored pants and long coats. 

Shoes by Betts - Dunaden and Cooper.

Loved this outfit paired with flats. 

Totally sold on this grey coat. Loved the shoes too.

Anyone is welcome to buy me this jumpsuit...

...and the gold bolero jacket...

At the after-party with Amanda, drinking Sidewood Estate Isabella Rose sparkling - delicious!

Goodies!

Bargains and freebies - would you expect anything less?

Hello!

It's a busy time of year, lots of things happening = lots of new purchases! Most of the outfits in the post were free but I still have more to show off in coming posts!

Below is a gorgeous dress I picked up from Valleygirl for $14.95. Score!

Paired with new shoes from work (Betts) which you can pick up now for $29.99 (or less if you buy them in Lime - which is amazing!)

Last night, us girls had another clothes swap - these are frequent because we all have serious shopping issues. The items in the pic directly below belonged to me, ended up in a swap a few times and a took them back last night! Hehe!

Cream top with lace detail on the shoulders, floral and polka dot skirt and nude strappy wedges.  

Cute wine coloured lace dress with detachable under-dress. 

Gorgeous cream and black dress, originally from Review. 

 T-shirt from Cotton On (pants are not new).

Amazingly warm and cosy grey batwing cardi. 

Black lace dress that is incredibly short (the only thing I didn't try on) which is still fine to wear over any black/coloured dress (body con, or other). 

Overall, very happy with my bargains and freebies! Stay tuned for pics of the "sex" top that got me in trouble at work!

Barossa and back again

What a lovely way to start the week! On Sunday, Peter and I drove to Tanunda in the Barossa Valley to celebrate our five year anniversary. We had an amazing time enjoying the sun, quaffing the best local wines, eating delicious local produce and playing mini golf on the coolest course ever. If you've never been to the Barossa (this was our first ever visit) be sure to head to Tanunda, it's the best place to get a taste of what the valley has to offer.

Checking out the old Jacob's Creek homestead.

Stunning views and a nice reference point for tourists.

Quaffing many many wines at Jacob's Creek centre.

Overlooking Tanunda and surrounds. Also featuring the cute cardie I bought for $4.

Pete getting up close and personal with the granite sculptures.

Our cute studio accommodation - The Dove Cote.

Delicious breakfast, all the ingredients (except the cheese) were provided by our B&B hosts. How good is that?!

The coolest mini golf course ever - in Tanunda.

Sharing a killer python.
