Making Me Smile

Delicious sweet treats that remind me of home.  All thanks to the very kind, fellow blogger, Laura,

Cherry blossoms outside my door.

As always, the weekend was too short, but with each week that passes the weather is warming up, so for a change it doesn't feel like such a bad thing. I'm happy to be heading towards brighter, longer, sunny days. The cherry blossoms arrive where I live, a little later than in the rest of Korea. They sprang out over the weekend, a definite (very pretty) sign that spring is really here now. I can't help but feel cheerful  at the moment, especially with all the lovely things this last week has included. 

Is it Spring where you are? What's making you smile at the moment?

Sunday How I Like It // The Mango Quilted Coat

18 November 2012



Waffles!!

I think you all know me well enough by now to know that Sundays are my casual and comfortable day. I love nothing more than a lazy Sunday spent strolling round the park, drinking coffee, reading and relaxing with my two favourite guys.

Unfortunately for us, the temperatures here in Korea will plummet to well below freezing in the coming weeks, so whilst this new down coat is a pretty purchase for now, it's also a necessity for later. Last winter my thick wool coat just didn't cut it and I was just about frozen to death on a couple of occasions. This year I knew exactly what I needed, a long and thick layer of feather padding with a fur lined hood! Mango delivered the goods and trust me when I tell you that I'll be bundled up with at least three layers under it, a thick woolly scarf and the fur hood pulled tight around my face in no time at all. Yep, it really does get that cold here! Last year went to minus17.8°C!! 

For now though, we're happy to make the most of the much milder afternoons and my new coat is keeping me so toasty. I find something so enjoyable and satisfying about being able to snuggle up in big puffy jackets like this one when there's a chill in the air. We had a lovely Sunday, as always, and man were those waffles good!!

How's your weekend been? How cold does it get where you are and what do you wear?

I Want to Wear: Gold Metallic Effect Skinny Jeans.

24 October 2011

Trend Alert : Metallic Jeans
This is a new kind of post I'm going to be doing - items I spot and want to wear. It's kind of like a trend alert type post too as...lets face it, my taste is just impeccable, awesome, perfect, flawless! Ha. I'm joking obviously! Except in this case these are actually going to be a big trend. Metallic jeans will be a huge fall/winter 2011 trend I reckon. No doubt you've already spotted some metallic jeans in the stores. I saw this pair that I'm dying to go back and buy. Do not know why I didn't just get them there and then.

They were in H&M so they were pretty cheap, which is great for bold trends like this one. It means you don't feel so bad when you can't really wear them (fashionably at least) anymore.

I spotted this pic of Elle Macpherson on Grazia's website wearing silver metallic jeans. I love how she paired her silver metallic jeans with a simple loose sweater.

Although metallic jeans might not be for everyone, if you dare to try then they'll add a fashionable level of bling to an outfit. The easiest way to wear these is to keep the rest of your outfit simple, let the jeans do the talking!

Here's the info of the six pairs shown in the set I made at the top:
Mango skinny jeans
£55 - mango.com

TopShop super skinny jeans
$120 - topshop.com
