Jeff Leatham.

Right now my boss is in Paris having a lovely old time.

She spent the first few days in The Four Seasons George V Hotel. I hopped online to have a little peek and what did I realise?

JEFF LEATHAM IS THE FLORAL DESIGNER FOR THIS HOTEL!

OH-MY-GOD

I think I'll have to sneak into this place when I'm in Paris in August. :)

This guy is inspirational. 

So damn Gorgeous, and that doesn't even desribe how incredible I think he is.

A winter secret I'd like to share...

Lush rave....
Are you lazy in the moisturising/exfoliating department like me in winter? (and summer too)
I have found a cure, for lazy people, and it's wonderful.

BUFFY - 

(The Backside Slayer)

This Buffy fights dead skin. 

And Cellulite.

Wash yourself in the shower. 

Step out of the water.

Scrub your entire body with this.

Wash off the bits of rice, almonds, and Adzuki beans....

and you're done. 

Moisturised and buffed with lovely Cocoa and Shea butters.

I love it. My Favorite lush product by far.

The first thing I ever bought at Lush and the best.

Smells Gorgeous and it's not greasy at all. 

Yummo!

Love it so much I bought it for my Mum!

However...

If a really deep exfoliation is not what you're after.... 

They have something else just as Yummy.

MASSAGE BARS

'STRAWBERRY FEELS FOREVER'  

Rub this allover your skin right after the shower. Done. Good Huh? The bar melts on contact with body heat.

 

I'm not mad about this particular bar, the Strawberries and Cream scent is a bit too sickly sweet for me. (It's made from real crushed strawberries)...but I'm loving the no-mess-grease-free-moisturisation!

Many different bars to choose from for in the shower and out. 

Had to share. I have found love with Lush. I have to stop. Really.

Make it Pink....no...make it Blue

This week I have dreams of becoming a cake designer. Dreaming dreaming.
Fascinated with floral cakes. So beautiful.
Look at the Gorgeousness

I am absolutely in love with Peonies and Hydrangeas, pretty sure these are edible!

oh! so simple and amazing.

I remember when I was little I loved loved LOVED Sleeping Beauty 

(Among other Disney Princesses...Ariel probably coming in close second...) 

By far my favorite scene! So cute. A love for fashion and all things pretty was developing at a young age............

Oh my god I hope I have a little girl someday, then I have the excuse to watch all these gorgeous movies again.

NOSTALGIC!

Bali Dreaming....

An annual Bali- goer....

Unfortunately this year I am ditching the Island of the Gods for Europe (How Sad)

 However, having said that, Bali is still very much on my Radar. Always is.

Cannot. Wait. to. go. here!!!

Can't wait to laze, eat drink and be merry all day. This place was in the construction stage last time I was in Bali so I missed out. Looks Gorge.
Check our their facebook page!

Villa Kembali. Seminyak.

ahhhh I love Bali, I miss it.

4 months already....

This post is purely dedicated to my Dad, Harv.

He's already been gone 4 months and it feels like only yesterday we were saying goodbye.

Love you Pa. 

I Miss your voicemails.

Bourke Street Bakery. Sydney

A few months back we were in Sydney and got to visit the Bourke Street Bakery in Surrey Hills.

Seriously. Look at their Website.

www.bourkestreetbakery.com.au

It was stinking hot that day so the pigeon decided to have a dip in the dog bowl. :)

Unfortunatley I had a terrible headache and swollen throat that day.... so I couldn't appreciate the true beauty of their food. Oh God am I hungry. Can you tell? I should have taken more photos!

I had the Lamb Sausage roll. No ordinary Sausage roll. It had beautiful cranberries and pine nuts in it too. Yum Yum.

And Beautifil Home made Lemonade. Ohhhhhh.  

Considering another trip to Sydney just to go back and eat more Tarts.

A must if you're in Sydney.  I wish they'd open in Melbourne!

Their book is on my to buy list:

It's all about the baking for me this week...

Diet time. No more Tim Tams or pigging out!
So naturally today I'm dreaming of food I can't eat....

Loving everything to do with cake decorating at the moment! Ever since I saw a special on the Royal Wedding cake I have been really into it. Amazing.

Wish I was the smart woman who came up with this idea:

MMMMMMMMMMM. Cupcakes are just so pretty. 

The Bedroom....

So over the last year and a half we've been renovating! Scored myself a huge room with a kitchen and new bathroom.
Been playing around.. Never happy of course and probably change things around every week, but things are slowly starting to come together:

Bought Bucky the stag from my cousins Gorgeous shop, Douglas & Hope.

I love him! My boyfriend thinks he's weird.

 

Did an Ikea run with my gorgeous friend Jen on Tuesday and bought some frames.

Mangana in Olinda have these beautiful Vogue Cover prints from the 40's.

$10 each.

Bargain! Happy Girl

Ok Housework time.
