Aztec Outfit

Aztec pattern cardigan from Factorie | Collard rose button up shirt from Forever21 | 
Orange nail polish from Bourjois 

It's been bliss snuggling up in my new aztec print cardigan. Winter here in NZ has just been brutal and I have been struggling to shake the constant sickness for the past few months now. I am just not myself during winter. I get cabin fever, I seem to always get sick and it's hard to stay active, so roll on Spring already!

Healthy Juicing Tips

HEALTHY JUICING TIPS

I got a bit tired of smoothies, plus bannanas started making me feel sick at times so I opted for something that taste a bit more summery and fresh and I found juicing! I'm only a beginner at this but apparently you can get anti-aging juice recipes, immune booster recipes and lots more from here.

Grab my recipe if you like, it's really fresh, and helped me fight my cold:
1 pear
5 prunes
2 oranges
2 kiwi's

Enjoy and let me know what your thoughts are.

Edmonds Red Velvet Cupcakes

I tried my hand at making the new Edmonds Red Velvet Cupcakes cake mix today wich proved to be oh so easy! For those who don't know, most "kiwi" households have an Edmonds cookbook handy somewhere.

Anyway, being a big fan of Red Velvet cupcakes I couldn't deny that real cream cheese frosting just taste worlds apart from the powdered stuff. My verdict is to buy your own cream cheese, that way you get enough to cover your basis and enjoy the real taste of what a true Red Velvet Cupcake should taste like.

Element Eden Summer 2013 Collection

I always love following Element Eden's name range. They have some lovely knits and polkadot bits and bobs in for their summer collection which I would love to get my hands on. 

This winter has been horrible and the only thing that keeps me going is the fact that summer is on it's way in due time. I can already imagine picking fresh strawberries, going for bike rides along the sea and getting my pasty white skin some colour. Bring on summer already!

The Weekend In Wellington

We had such a lovely time away in Wellington! I can't say the same for the crazy weather however staying at The InterContinental in Wellington made all the difference. It was great seeing friends, celebrating life and splashing out on The White House!  I also got to meet a lovely reader call Amelia at The InterContinental which was such a great surprise

Once in a blue moon it's great to enjoy a bit of fine dining, and luxury! Due to not really having an anniversary last year we made a pack to enjoy this little getaway. And it was worth every penny! 

Hello Travel

A quick hello! We are on little trip away celebrating a 30th this weekend in Wellington this weekend. So check out our Instagram for updates during the weekend. I have been waiting for this weekend away for quite some time so I am very happy to finally be here right now.
