Monochrome Madness

I'm such a sucker for a mono outfit. My wardrobe over the past year has grown darker and a lot more minimalist...I'm not sure if it's because I'm getting older or because it reflects my moods lol! Today was one of my sisters birthdays and we celebrated it in one of my favourite Japanese restaurants, Musashi! And because I have had such a mad week preparing for the opening of my stage schools- I really wasn't pushed for glamming up! Yep...shock horror!

I'm wearing;

Penny's/Primark trench coat (similar here at Zara, except for a LOT more money), white grandfather collar shirt- Zara (similar here), croc slip ons from Topshop (similar here), H&M faux leather pants (similar here) and mini office bag from Zara (similar here). I'm wearing one of my favourite MAC lipsticks in 'Dark Side'.

Style Diaries: Portugal

Monochrome Maxi- 

I loved this dress so much in Morocco that I had to pack it for Portugal. It's from pennys (and shhhh- I spied it reduced to €7 last week in the Pennys on Henry St!) and I paired it with my Topshop gladiator sandals that I got in the summer sale. 

Because I'm quite bottom heavy- I need to show of my waist so I don't look 9 months pregnant and used my sisters tassle belt to cinch in. Raging that I forgot to take a photo of the back of the dress- it has two gorgeous spaghetti black straps that look lovely on sun kissed skin.

My hair and makeup was my typical fuss free summer look- hair in a bun and plenty of bronzer!
