Hi girls!

I celebrated my birthday for the second time in a week, this time with all my friends.  We went to Koi in Rosebank (probably my favourite restaurant) for dinner and it was such a great night.  There's nothing like being surrounded by all your closest friends.  Those are always the best nights for me, regardless of whether there is a birthday happening or not.  I'd be lost without my fabulous group of friends.  I love you all!

Hope you had a great weekend!

Arum Lilea's guide to Dressing for Work

Hi Girls

Most of my friends have just finished university and entered into the professional working environment as lawyers or accountants.  We have been discussing the wardrobe changes required for the transition from studying to working and I thought I'd share my tips with you.

You've worked hard to enter a profession.  Your image should reflect your work ethic.  A girl with a sloppy shirt portrays a person satisfied with sloppy work. 

Don't be afraid of colour.  Many people believe that work clothes means you are restricted to black and white but you can break this misconception with pretty colours and still look professional.  

Don't show too much skin.  Keep your hem line fairly close to your knee, no thighs please ladies!  It's a good idea to keep your shoulders covered too.  A great way to do this is to wear a cardigan.  This keeps you looking polished and prevents shivers from the office airconditioner too.

Make use of a bag that's a practical size.  You may need to rush around with your laptop and it's never a bad idea to have a pair of flats in your bag either.

Simple accessories are perfect for work.  Great earrings, a watch and a bangle is more than enough.

  Try to keep your hair off of your face.  You can have fun with the way you do this by making use of a headband, braids, a sophisticated ponytail or a sock bun.  Just because you keep your hair off your face doesn't mean you need to look boring!

I hope these tips are helpful!  Let me know what you think.

Hi Girls!

Yesterday was my 23rd birthday.  It poured with rain the whole weekend but we managed to

grab these snaps.  I had such a lovely birthday.  I celebrated with my family over Sunday lunch

at the Rusty Lady in Kensington.  It's definitely worth trying lunch at that gorgeous spot.  I love

it there.  Hope you had a great weekend!

We snapped these pictures on the weekend before preparing the most amazing tortellini for Sunday dinner.  Grant and I love to cook and we've been having such fun experimenting with his new pasta machine.  To me there is nothing better than sitting outside in the warm weather with family for a relaxing meal.

Hi girls!

I'm really enjoying the idea of mixing different prints.  I used an old fabric ribbon that was lying around as a belt come bow on the back of my skirt.  What do you think?

Love Leanne

Hi Girls!

I'm feeling a bit under the weather and I think it's due to climate contrast.  Nevertheless I managed to get a few snaps to share with you.  What do you think?
