What I wore Friday: On one of those days!

These photos were taken on Friday. As mentioned in the title I had one of those days where everything seemed to go wrong! They were small things such as going out to post items and forgetting my purse, not sleeping well the night before, missing a delivery (because the courier did not buzz up to our apartment) and accidently breaking things etc, etc! On the scale of things that are happening in the world I shouldn't complain, but I guess we all have frustrating days like this right?

I had to complete a years worth book keeping for my accountant on friday and Saturday which was grueling (completing a years worth of dreaded numbers and charts at the end of the year was a big mistake). My brain is definitely more powerful on the right creative side! 

On the positive side there were some enjoyable moments of the day which included wearing this outfit - a mini 70s vintage dress, vintage cardigan, tapestry bag and floral belt with brogue shoes - and being able to leave the house without needing a coat. Also my wonderful Ross cheering me up by taking me to Leaf (our favourite cafe ) for blooming floral jasmine tea and chocolate cake, and spending the evening watching 70s film French Connection and eating Cadburys mini eggs. Wow... be sure to check the link for cadburys they have such a cute site up at the moment devoted to their easter chocolate.

So after working till 9pm last night all my accounts are now finally out of the way (sigh)! Today will be Marisa and Ross time :) Not sure what were going to do with the day but it will be nice to just relax! Hope your all enjoying your weekend?

Whimsical sweets...

Sweet tooth anyone? I love to try new sweets. I was one excited girl when I happened to stumble across these meringue mushrooms and acorns on this site the other night! I'm aware of the growing trend for meringues in all flavour's and colours; me and Ross sampled a variety of these in Switzerland a few years back. But these are so whimsical and charming I couldn't help but to share with you. They look so yummy I may have to sample some. They are made by Lori's French Connection Bakery.

Valentines Day

Ross woke me up with roses and cards

Delicious Blueberry pancakes for breakfast

An evening at the 'bombed out church' to watch Breakfast at Tiffany's.

Ending the evening with a yummy meal cooked by Ross and some sparkling rosé.

Had the best fun-filled & romantic Valentines day ever! Above is a little overview of our day. I was spoilt rotten this year! Thanks Ross xxx.

Hope you all had a great day!!

Dreaming of a summer holiday...

With Christmas a long forgotten memory, and now into the 2nd month of the new year; man are we missing summer! Don't know about you guys but we are pining for a holiday. These are some snaps from ours in Bali last year we wanted to share with you.

We felt we needed to go somewhere far away from England, somewhere tropical - a different culture. It was our first time to Asia, and Indonesia is certainly different from the UK!

The Balinese people are a peaceful Hindu culture who carry out rituals and offerings to their gods and ancestors. For example; we had just been to bathe in a luxurious natural volcanic spa high up in the mountains of the island... It was a real eye-opener when we we stumbled upon a mass village migration. Our guide told us when someone died in the village every member of the community would come for support and to pay respect. The sense of society and change of perspective we saw throughout our trip was wonderful & refreshing.

Bali is a magical, colourful and exotic place. Full of culture, their own art & crafts, balmy hot tropical weather and fantastic wildlife. Lizards, birds, monkeys, turtles & dolphins are some of the animals naturally indiginous to the island.

We loved our time there and would recommend it if you wanted this type of holiday. Hope everyone's having a good weekend!
