What is a TOAG I hear you say? You know that one dress that you reach for time and time again because it just goes with everything. The one that you always get complimented on by your reply is ‘oh it’s so easy to wear, I just throw it on and I’m ready to go’. The dress that can be styled with a pair of comfy sandals/slides in summer or sneakers for an edgier look. Introducing you to the ‘TOAG’ dress. Just throw-and-go. What I love about a TOAG is that it is an instant outfit. You don’t need to add anything else but you certainly can some accessories if you choose to or a bag/clutch. With summ ..read more

Can you believe the school holidays are coming to an end?! It’s such a strange time. You are sad the holidays are over but looking forward to the new school year ahead at the same time. I’m officially back Wednesday for a three-day stint of professional development. Now, if you have been following me for a while, at the start of every year you would know I do a roundup of what to wear back to school. As I am over 30 weeks pregnant for this year’s lineup, I knew I wouldn’t be able to showcase certain pieces. So this year, I have mixed things up. Teaming up with one of my favourite brands, Four ..read more

There’s no better shoe to wear in summer than a wedge (unless you are a true blue Aussie and always reach for your trusty pluggers before leaving the house). Wedges are great because they give you the height of a heel with the comfort of a flat. A winning combo all round! With a fit that is simple and a look that is stylish, wedges are an instant summer staple to add to your wardrobe.  Depending on the height of the wedge, it is a style you can certainly wear to school. Wedges also make the perfect shoe for an outdoors event on grass too. HOW TO STYLE WEDGES WITH A DRESS Wedges and a summ ..read more

PD days are a great way for you to wear some of your favourite pieces that you might not normally wear while in the classroom. But there are some rules. Just because the students aren’t around, doesn’t mean that you can slip on the stilettos and break out the boobtube. REMEMBER: this is still your workplace and your admin team are there (and always watching) So what do you wear? An outfit that is comfortable – Chances are you will be sitting down for most of the day. So make sure whatever you wear you will be comfortable to sit for a long duration. Shorts – Totally fine (espec ..read more

Here we go, my round up of playground hats for 2020. This post is for those who are just about to commence their first year of teaching, pre=service teachers or those who can’t remember the last time they updated their playground duty hat. When choosing a hat for school, the most important things are sun safety, comfort and practicality. And don’t forget the “No hat, no play” rule. If we are enforcing it on students, then we must be leading by example. When buying a new hat, keep the following in mind: Comfort – if it isn’t comfy, don’t buy it! Size – make sure the hat is the r ..read more

Sponsored by birdsnest.  I love a good capsule wardrobe. It builds a solid foundation to create a wardrobe that works for you. That’s why birdsnest and I have teamed up to bring you our Spring Capsule Wardrobe. A birdsnest Capsule is a collection of styles that you can mix and match to create many different outfits. In this post, I’ll show you how to put them altogether. When creating this capsule, we wanted to ensure that each piece would work with at least one other piece from the collection. This means more outfits for you from less pieces. Here’s what you will find in this S ..read more
