The Timeless Trench

Hi everyone! Happy Monday! Hope you all had a lovely weekend and enjoyed some sunshine after a cold and wet week. I was at first fooled by the abundance of sunshine, tricked into thinking that wearing thin layers would suffice (that's me being overly optimistic, still thinking we are at the end of summer =P), however the temperature dropped quite a bit. I was greeted by a powerful burst of "fresh" air as I stepped out, and this quickly accelerated my acceptance of the fact that the shoulder-bearing days of summer are numbered, if not already over. Despite these facts, this weather is actually fantastic to bring out trans-seasonal wardrobe pieces such as this red hot trench coat. I think a great trench can do so much for you during the in-between seasons, both functionally and aesthetically. A touch of class and style combined with practicality (the perfect layering piece to shield you from the elements) definitely deserves some space in your wardrobe.

Twittering on Tweed

Hi Everyone! Happy Thursday! Hubby and I had such a wonderful dinner experience at Vue de Monde Melbourne the other night. A truly great restaurant puts a high emphasis on creating that unique and engaging dining experience, not just limited to the taste and the presentation of food. They often like to take you on a journey, from the minute you step into the restaurant till the very end farewell at the end of the night, and sometimes even beyond. After a scrumptious and innovative degustation dinner of 10 courses (including dessert), the icing on the cake is the complimentary take home goodie bag ("For the morning after") that contained all the elements of a delicious gourmet continental breakfast. How thoughtful and memorable! Contrary to this modern cuisine journey, I wanted to reminisce an old fashion icon today - The tweed jacket.
