Sunday How I Like It // The Mango Quilted Coat

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?

A Sunny Sunday At Mine // First World, Songdo

Yesterday morning was one of those blissfully peaceful mornings. We ate poached eggs for breakfast with fresh white toast and sat on the couch sipping hot coffee whilst the sun streamed in our apartment windows. I wish every morning was Sunday morning!

I remembered that I promised I would give you a sneak peek of  our new place soon, so I took a few pics to share with you now.

 

 

We're still getting settled into the place. But we're already in love with the views over the park below, something that we really love about Songdo is the abundance of outdoor space.

My fiance and I both have quite similar taste when it comes to furnishing our apartment. He mainly leaves it up to me though. His only request was that this one was more 'manly' than our last apartment. I guess I'd inadvertently made the last one quite feminine, ooops!

We already had the couch and TV table so I'm planning to base the colour scheme around those things. I prefer a neutral look of creams, black and brown. I've already added some touches of silver I had from our previous apartment (and the flowers) to give it just that hint of girlyness that I love. I'm still looking for a big floor lamp for this room and something to fill the walls but apart from that it's just small trinkets and soft furnishings that it needs. They're something that can easily be accumulated with time though.

At about 3pm we started to feel guilty for not doing anything! So, just to keep our consciences clear, we got ready and headed out for a walk in the park. We'd been deceived by the blue skies though, it was minus five degrees centigrade! We weren't dressed for that so the walk got put on hold and we headed for coffee instead. Not very exciting but still a perfect relaxing Sunday for me.

What's your perfect Sunday like?
