  1. Peas porridge hot?

    April 12, 2011 by Michelle

    I dislike Winter very much. I know some people will disagree with me, but living with only 3 hours of daylight is just not my idea of a perfect day! But I do love some of what winter brings. Warm, cozy nights in front of the fire, feeling all toasty in bed and peacoats!! I LOVE peacots, especially on kids! And when they come in the most gorgeous cuts with the tinest, yet most beautiful detail, I just swoon all over them :)

    Here are some of my favourites:

    Reversible Swing Coat

    from Lazyday

    Boo Coat

    from belle and boo (how gorgeous is this colour?!!)

    Boys' wool peacoat

      From J Crew - way over my budget but you can't argue with the quality!

     Boys jacket - brown tartan plaid 2T OOAK

    from Saiba Tooth Cub

    Hope you are rugged up this Winter!

     

     


  2. Ruche or two?

    April 11, 2011 by Michelle

    I love the style of clothes on this site, Ruche - it is whimsical, girly but just the right about of style about it.  I've been debating about buying more clothes (because I don't really need any more) but the clothes are gorgeous and the style is right up my alley. With the Australian dollar being so strong against the US dollar, it is getting more and more attractive to buy over the net rather than in stores here in Australia.

    Some of my favourite pieces are below:

  3. Creative packaging all bottled up

    I love finding new and creative ways of doing old things. One of the latest trends I have seen is using little glass bottles to package goodies. From a cost perspective, it does add a significant amount of cost to your product, but makes up for it in spades with originality and creativity.

  5. I’ve got a problem …

    April 1, 2011 by Michelle

    … I'm addicted to chocolate!

    I eat it EVERY day. A must have after dinner and sometimes after lunch! And not just a little bit, but at least 3 rows after dinner. My husband thinks I have a problem and I agree! But at least I am honest :) I don't hide my addiction. I leave the chocolate in the pantry (so not in any secret corners), I eat it in front of him/friends and I declare my love for it constantly :)

    Here are some of my absolute favourites:

    Bendicks – I LOVE the dark chocolate taste and the mint is intense. Definitely a must try

     

    Lindt balls – a definite favourite. I love all the flavours and the richness of the chocolate is divine each time

    OMG – a friend bought me some recently and they were to die for! Each chocolate was perfect and an explosion in my mouth… yumm..

     

     Royce chocolate – I've only had these from a friend who visits Singapore every now and then. Very different to a traditional chocolate (you eat it cold and with a serving stick) but delicious nonetheless.

    Do you have any chocolate favourites? Are you also a chocolate addict like me?!

    Off to have my daily dose of chocolate… yum…
