Perfect Weekends


Finally got the chance to visit a relative's Vineyard/Farm and I'm now kicking myself for not coming sooner. Sorrounded by endless greenery, animals and fresh air, what could be better? I have this strange curiousity towards Alpacas so I was extremely excited when I found out they had some. I also couldn't contain myself when I was promised I'd get to play with little lambs, though I was warned not to get attached. Eeek!

Perfect weekends are spent with those who you love and enjoy the most, the magical location is just an added bonus.

Oversized


Loving these $10 JayJay's boyfriend jeans so much. As much as I love darker clothing to give me the illusion of being slimmer than I actually am. I really love the look of neutral, soft and light colours together, it just screams fresh and crisp to me.

Marant




I know the twisted body-con skirt has had it's time in the limelight and probably now needs to retire, but while I love a good trend, there are times when they are keepers, like this Isabel Marant Etoile twisted skirt for example.

I purchased this at Barney's last year while I was in San Francisco. It's a dark grey marle and the material is just beyond amazing and it twists in the right areas just perfectly.

It's only a trend if you let it, but if you love something, I think you can find a way to make it a forever piece in your wardrobe.

Blossom


I went to the flower market for the first time the other day and it was, not to sound like I'm over reacting, magical! It's strange, as I always thought it was odd that people would wake up so early just to go get flowers, what was so exciting? I mean there are florists everywhere, right?

Well apart from flowers being RIDONKULOUSLY cheap! There was just a massive array to choose from.

My favourite flowers are Peonies. It's strange that they're my favourite considering I've never seen them in person until that day. Let's just say they don't disappoint. Unfortunately though, I can't display the flowers all over the house as the cats have taken a liking to them. I turned around for one second and one tulip had teeth marks. Tulips and Peonies are toxic to cats and dogs and didn't want to take that risk, so in my room they stay. They make my room not only smell amazing but much brighter. Every morning, the first thing I do when I wake up is run to my room and see how much the Peonies, Roses and Tulips have opened.

Let's just say I plan for this to become a monthly thing. Next time though I'm going to check out the produce section. I mean, who does not love a good day out for some fresh produce and flowers at market prices, even if you have to wake up at 5am.
