One of my best outfits yet, well in my opinion anyway lol, and not a photographer in sight. Sorry for the grainy motel selfie, but just had to share!
This outfit is all about bright, bold and contrasting shapes and colours. From the neon pink blazer, to the geometric necklace and pants, right down to my duel tone pointy toe flats!
Well must depart as co-facilitating a workshop tomorrow at 8.30am!!!!! Signing off from the Melaleuca in Robe!

This week has been crazy, I have hardly seen my family, I have only managed to exercise once and to be honest I was so tired today that all I could bear to put on was a loose shirt and leggings, I’m not even wearing makeup, just gloss and mascara!
My tips for getting away with this outfit without completely looking like a slob are:
– wear a nice shoe – not thongs;
– wear a good quality thick legging, my leggings are thicker than most and shiny – don’t wear old pilled leggings that you can see your knickers through;
– wear a shirt or top that covers your bum; and finally
– wear a fabulous necklace!
What do you think do I pass as half decent today?

I’d like to apologise for my absence recently, Guin’s Everyday Style has become more like Guin’s Every ‘Other’ Day Style! What with illness and crazy work deadlines, I have been too busy too post on here, but more importantly, my husband has had too pick up way more than his fare share of the slack!
At the moment I am waiting for a tram to take me to my friends Cancer fundraiser she has organised, after which I have to take a tram straight back to work again! Sigh….which means my poor husband is doing dinner, bath and bedtime duty all by himself again, third night in a row!
I ummed and ahhd about going tonight, but as my close friend has put in so much effort and there were only limited spaces I didn’t want to pull out, plus I have to go back into work anyway, but the consequence is pretty crappy for hubby….
So with this little moment of nothing time, I thought I would publicly apologise to Ben……
Then go on to show you how you don’t always have to have a colour in common (like I have done in the RHS pic) a print in common (LHS) can be just as effective!

I was a little nervous about what I was going to wear today for the Cocktail Revolution filming in Hindmarsh Square.
But the lovely people over at Cocktail Revolution assured me I looked just fine.

So, let me tell you about my outfit, I am wearing my drop crotch leopard print harems, with simple black top, the mesh gold scarf connects with all those warm golden tones in my pants and my black sandals ties in with my top.
I just got these new sunnies, I love their shape, not only does the shape perfectly reflect my face shape, but the tortoise she’ll also repeats the warm tones found in my pants and scarf.
So please go check out Cocktail Revolution and come back and tell me if you think I nailed the look?

Ahh sorry it’s so late I only just got home from work! I was so excited by what I wore today, I just had to share!
This outfit is pretty simple I’m just mixing prints that share not only the same colours, but also similar patterns.
Because both prints had a significant proportion of white in them, I went for a contrasting black top and black pumps with a detailed toe (swoon).
The best bit, is that the toes of my pumps have a very similar pattern to that of my necklace!

This season is all about black and white shoes, unfortunately these can be slightly harder to wear than blonde or brown coloured shoes, as they don’t book end your hair (unless your hair is black or white).
An easy way to get around this is wear something else (at the other end of your body) with black or white on it, this could be a necklace like I have done here, a handbag, hat or some detail or colour in your top.

Do you know my hair has only been short for 10 months, yep just before I started blogging I got the chop.
My husband was not a fan at first, but with time has grown used to it. I had almost decided that I would stick with it, when I was scrolling through some pics from last year and thought, hmm maybe I should grow it again, I do miss popping it up in a top knot!
Also my wonderful hairdresser is about to have a baby, and I won’t be able to get it cut for a while, maybe it’s time….
Thoughts?

Black and white is big again this summer, which is great, ’cause who doesn’t have plenty of that in their wardrobe?!
It is also easy to add another colour navy, metallics and pastels all work really well and are very much on trend, or if you are a blonde like me, a touch of blonde to your monochromatic look is a non brainer!
Country Road has some great black and white articles, shoes in particular, And the best bit is once this trend is over your black and white pieces will easily assimilate into your wardrobe to become seasonal staples!
