Yestersay, I had the pleasure of spending the entire day with the great love of my life (which only happens a couple of times a month, because of his busy schedule). 

We drove out to the Barossa wine country... having lunch at a bakery... getting happily lost along winding roads... discovering hilltop views we had not seen before... browsing at a favourite antiques shop in an old church... stocking up on wine...and then getting cozy back at home... with a bottle of merlot and a classic film. Aaahh, I live for these days!

I hope you all are enjoying your weekend as much as I am. Cheers!

Fab Frock Friday: Elie Loves Aqua

It seems that Elie Saab loves the colour aqua as much as I do! These dresses from his Spring 2012 Couture collection are just beautiful, aren't they? I would feel like a goddess wearing one of them.

You've got to watch the intro video on his site, a gorgeous fashion film set in Paris in winter, with a haunting melody. It's lovely.

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend full of love, smiles, and relaxation.

Wedding Wednesday... a little late!

Hi, all! Since I forgot to post something yesterday for Wedding Wednesday, here is a not-very-traditional bride picture for you. I love her rose bouquet, oxfords, and messy up-do.

This image brings to mind a country wedding, maybe a spur-of-the-moment sort of gathering among close friends. Like the bride and groom just said to each other "Hell, why not? Let's get married today!" I could think of a few reasons, ahem... But I'm a romantic at heart, so I always love a wedding. 

Cheers to love!
