Strawberry Picking

On Thursday i had the absolute pleasure of going berry picking for the first time. I have always wanted to try and since finding out that there was a farm only about an hour away i was delighted when my boyfriend offered to take me.

The weather was perfect and i had so much fun picking out strawberries straight from the plant. I wanted to pick the blackberries too but the girl working wasn't too keen on the idea of taking us to where they grow haha, maybe next time!

I was also very happy because my new Rococo Soul strawberry dress arrived just in time for me to wear it!

This was my outfit for the day. JSK from Rococo Soul, Blouse Metamorphose, Angelic Pretty bag and offbrand/bodyline accessories.

After strawberry picking we went for ice cream and had a nice drive home.

Unfortunately i didn't get a good picture of the strawberries before digging into them but i assure you, they were amazing! I made strawberry pancakes and helped make strawberry upside down cake, and i'll be munching away on strawberries for awhile i think!

EGL February Wardrobe Theme

Following January's Wardrobe theme, February's theme is "Dress me Up", a fun idea to invite people to share their wardrobe and put together an outfit for a partner from the items they own. This year i decided to participate, and i got my partner Rolicherry, who has her own blog here: http://rolisramblings.blogspot.com.au/


She put together this outfit for me using my Rococo Soul Age of Sail JSK and my new Metamorphose bolero.

And here it is worn.

Overall i think it's a pretty cute outfit, it's definitely something i would wear to work for a more casual outfit, (in fact i did wear this to work before taking photos!)

I decided to show my interpretation of the outfit aswell just for fun, something a little bit more dressy.

I didn't change too much of the outfit since i didn't want it to be completely different, i just changed the headwear and shoes and added a bag.

I opted for these Vivienne Westwood heels because i felt the elegance of the bolero needed some more mature shoes in a different color to break up the brown, and the bonnet with some beige and brown bows to make everything a bit more cohesive.


I had a lot of fun participating in this event and i hope to do it again next year, and thankyou to my partner for putting this outfit together for me!~

Birthday High Tea at By Josephines

This previous weekend i was lucky enough to have high tea with two lovely girls to celebrate my 20th birthday. I was so excited to go back after visiting the shop to make my booking.

Before meeting up with the other girls i had some time so i did a little bit of shopping. I came across this adorable shop that had a whole area just for hello kitty. Unfortunately they were pretty expensive so i just took a photo to admire.


We had a table set up for us ready for our arrival with a drinks menu with a very nice selection of beverages.

I decided to go for this refreshing raspberry and mint drink, i was surprised when it came just how minty it was! I ended up taking the mint out since it was a bit too strong for me.

The beautiful treats we were supplied with! My favourites were probably the cute mini sandwiches on the bottom right and the raspberry and orange blossom tarts up top.

We were also given this cute little bowl of mini macarons! I can honestly say that Josephines macarons are the best i have ever had.

Here was my outfit for the day. Dress, Headbow and Tights by Angelic Pretty, Bag by Metamorphose and the rest is Taobao and Offbrand.

I just had to get some macarons to take home with me. They were packaged very carefully in this lovely tissue with a sticker on it.

I got 3 earl grey macarons because they were my favourite, aswell as orange blossom, gingerbread and rosewater flavoured macarons, all of which were delicious!


I had such a fun day, i felt very spoilt and i'm very thankful to have spent it with such lovely people.
