Camilla and Marc

Happiness with someone wonderful in a blissful quiet place. 

(He also took these photos for me back in April, thank you! xx)

Wearing jumpers and feeling the sand between my toes. 

You would be correct in thinking I own too many jumpers... I think I calculated that I could wear a different one every day for two weeks, without delving into the pile of older ones that I am 'over'. 

While we are 'admitting' things... I could also team any of these with a different pair of jeans every day for two weeks. Hmm, I did add a few pairs to my for sale pile/ donation pile. :}

Don't get me started on coats/ blazers and dresses... they each have a wardrobe of their own. 

MUST NOT BUY CLOTHES!!! 

Several of these jumpers are from Camilla and Marc- whom I have never met, but they are on the wish list... can we get them over for a lunch please?? 

Just gonna request that one out to the PR Agents out there. 

Also please do not forget to switch over and follow me on Bloglovin' as Google+ is being discontinued. I would love to still have you- and Bloglovin' is a far easier site to use anyway!

The Lazy Ballerina

After all of the whirlwind that has been the Cabaret bump in and opening weekend, I tried to give my mind some peace, myself a bit of r and r, and appreciate a new space. I guess considering we live so close to one of the great wine regions in Australia, and my family are big wine lovers- I easily became somewhat of a wine brat. In my free time I love to go and visit wineries, do tastings, eat cheese boards or picnics, spot the animals on nearing farms as you wind your way through breathtaking vineyards, and dream about climbing trees or hills as you pass them by. It feels like traveling, even when you can not 'get away'. 

When a conversation started with "We should go on a walk today" to "have you heard of this winery? It has beautiful gardens" it was quickly decided to go and check it out.  

Lazy Ballerina is a boutique family run winery, producing an amazing Shiraz Vionier and Grenache (among other things), opposite the Kuitpo Forrest around the McClaren Vale region.

A few years ago some friends and I stayed in one of the cottages down the road, with a fire, no phone reception or technology, in bunk beds. It was awesome. We went on long walks through the forest, played board games, made up silly quizzes, did colouring in books (this was a particularly fun and regular activity, and much cooler than it sounds!) lazily played guitar and bongos. I can easily see myself recommending this sort of winter cozy weekend to anyone, with a stop in to visit the gardens and share a bottle (or two) and platter at Lazy Ballerina. 

I had to take photos of the gardens- and share some with you. I could have snapped away for hours, as there is so much to see. The winery is set up with tables hidden all over the place, so you can submerge yourself with the views, and let the wine uncork new or old stories.

When It Happens To You

Reality: Wearing this wool/ leather Camilla and Marc Jumper. 

Dreaming of: Wearing this Lover cobalt dress and red sandals.

Listening to: Kristin Chenoweth CD's before and after her show. THAT voice!

Reading: Molly Ringwald's book, she was such a gorgeous performer, with moving stories. 

Missing: My Perth friends, Chloe in London, Gen heading to Germany, and my beautiful man who is about to head overseas. Mad jealous. 

 

I think my brain is on auto pilot, and in wishful thinking for warm weather/ travel. :)

Hey Mickey

Mickey Mouse Love

Heidy of lovethymuse kindly posted up a little style post of me at PFF.

The rest of my week has been about soaking in the sun, drinking coconut water, eating strawberries in large amounts before they go out of season and listening to Push and Shove. 

Love you Gwen.
