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:

from Lazyday

from belle and boo (how gorgeous is this colour?!!)
From J Crew - way over my budget but you can't argue with the quality!

from Saiba Tooth Cub
Hope you are rugged up this Winter!

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:

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.

… 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…
