It's a beautiful day. The sun is shining and everyone at work is almost in holiday mode. We've worked hard this year and it's time for a bit of a break. I'm sure you all feel the same way, especially if your work is in the home and involves 24 hour a day management of your household and its dependents. You are entitled to a 10 day long weekend, in that case. Tell them SSG said 'It Is So.'.

Where was I? Jackie (K) O (not to be confused with our very own blonde radio personality). Part of my challenge leading up to the trip is to say no to impulse purchases - whilst in Australia. It hasn't been too hard except that Zara opened and I took advantage of the GST rebate at the airport and got myself a new bag (will do a big reveal in a post soon).
What I like most about Jackie O's style is that it is timeless and takes you from work to weekend with a few key items you probably already own but never thought to put together.

The ever cool, calm and collected Grace Kelly and her neck scarf with a simple white shirt.

Scarf - Hermes' Ceres (off eBay), scarf ring - Mai Tai's grande in honey, T - Target, cardi - Cotton On. |
Perfect when you're in a rush to get to work. Yes, you can tie Mai Tai's snowball knot behind the wheel as you wait to get onto the M4 westbound. Trust me on this one.
We're taking a novel approach to the 5 day foodfest that the Ea(s)ter break can sometimes turn into. Mr SSG and I are doing a series of yoga classes this weekend. So we're meant to be detoxing. Which translates, in my book, to vegeterian food and sparkling
Hope your Thursday is going splendidly. How can it not when it's followed by 5 days off?

ReplyDeleteDear Sidney Shop Girl,
ReplyDeleteenjoy your free days!
I love the fashion of Jackie O, so elegant and timeless. Bought quite a lot of her-style jackets - wonderful as her sunglasses. It's a grown-up fashion - that's what I like especially.
Jackie, Grace and Coco, effortless elegance and style, something I aspire to .......
