My sis from overseas is visiting and one of her bucket list is to pick apples from the orchard. So we went to Bilpin last Saturday which is a 2 hour-drive west of Sydney to pick not only apples red and green but also oranges and mandarin. Unfortunately, the oranges were not yet ready and the mandarin is in another location but I was happy enough to be able to come out of my normal Saturday routine.
Obviously, I'm going crazy with embroidery trend and there's no sign of stopping. I've had so many floral pieces I showcased in my blog already but let me add this rose embroidered mini skirt to my list. Embroidery designs are large, high-contrast and often multi-coloured, hence, they are not limited to a single colour. There is nothing subtle about this trend, it is designed for maximum impact.
Perhaps the most risqué trend for the year is the see-through lace but is also the prettiest when done properly. You see, lace can be edgy. When paired with certain fabrics, colours and styles, you can transform lace into a piece of fashion with attitude. And more when the style is one of the hottest trends at the moment.
I think there's a bit of bohemian in all of us. I denied it at first but I realised I owned several bohemian pieces without acknowledging I was drawn to it. It might be the paisley, floral or animal prints in the fabric or the exotic embellishment, tassel or fringe in the outfit, there's something about them that draws you in.
I was always the one who shied away from oversized clothing, I felt like I look like a dwarf when I wear one. Now that the oversized trend is going on, I tried once again how I look like in this cream coloured hoodie for a start. But I like it, not bad at all especially because of this eyelet lace-up shoulder detail.
I've been wanting to have brunch in Celcius Coffee since I saw their yummy goodness loaded waffle in Instagram. Then one fine day my waffle dream came true, thanks to my niece and nephew who demanded me to get up early on a Saturday (whew!). You see, on Saturdays I get out of bed at 11am to make up for the loss of sleep during the week so this café must be worth it to be awake as early as 8 to get ready. What??? All for the waffles!
For a wine, cheese and chocolate connoisseur whenever you're in Sydney head to Hunter Valley and you'll be greeted with the finest selection. For a 2 hour drive north of Sydney this is a must to visit for travellers and locals alike. While I'm not a wine collector (hubby is) I would surely vouch for the rare selection of chocolates while my kids would go for the cheese variety. Not only for these items this place tops but also for the lush greenery, laid back lifestyle as well as superb restaurants and wonderful adventures.
Ok, I've never been to Coachella but if I go this would be the dress that I would rock. I believe the festival is going on this week and yea I can only ogle at the cute bohemian outfits that I find. While there are no rules on what to wear when attending music festivals, I still prefer something that is so boho, edgy and fun. So if you don't go, Coachella will come to you.
My favourite colour is red not just any red but rich and deep red just like what I wore on my previous post. It's not only because I'm attracted to it but I get more compliments when I wear this colour, see my Instagram for the comments haha. But now I know why and it's because I look better in warm tones as opposed to cool as my veins appear to be more green than blue. And that makes me belong to the warm colour family. So I would aim for rich reds, browns, rust, and the warm neutrals like camel, beige and ivory.
If there's one abundant kind of clothing in my wardrobe it would be the lace dress. I sure have them in different colours though I can only wear it mostly on the warmer days. Last week I wore this deep red contrast embroidered dress with lace. Hubby my photog and I celebrated our anniversary and I thought this would be the cutest dress without even trying. On our way to dinner we spotted this quaint house with white fence overflowing of white roses. Though we're 5 minutes late we got to stop, that moment had to be captured.
