Jersey sure?

Hello world!

Ahh weekends, they're like the time equivalent of a jersey dress. Sometimes they skim over you so effortlessly you feel like you're doing and wearing nothing at all (*nothing at all, nothing at all, nothing at all). Other times, they end up hitting every single lump, bump and curve on a downward race to gloomy Monday morning :-(

Ironically, my weekends lately have included the consumption of so much (good) food that it's highly unlikely I'll go anywhere near a jersey dress ever again! And even if I do there's always spandex and a genie bra right?....

Anyway enough of the silly stuff, here's some of my culinary and couture highlights since we last spoke.

Until next time...Rose. xx

Culinary update

 Beautiful fresh flavours- Asparagas and pea risotto (Black Pepper Cafe, Canberra)

Sunday lunch at the beautiful grounds at Poachers Pantry (NSW) where the Husband and I had: 

Chicken terrine with a cherry glaze

Lamb rack with pea puree and creme fraiche

Duck cassoulet with radicchio

 Garlic custard with roasted macadamia nuts 

Couture update

The literal meaning of couture is made to measure right? So when I see something that's beautifully made or styled or repurposed, I think of them just like those magnificently coutured dresses from the ateliers of Paris. 

 Table couture (prep for dinner party at Le Rose)

 Faux fur stole (recent purchase from Myer, Sydney)

I fell in love with this beautiful bike but did not purchase as had no room in the car, boo (local recycle warehouse, Canberra)

* Reference from The Simpsons for those as silly as me.

Sneak Peek

Hello world!

I realise there’s been a looooong and rather uncomfortable pregnant pause between my last blog entry and...today, but I do have some exciting news. Other than sharing my happenings over the last few months, including my attending my first ever Kimbra concert (which BTW  was like soo awesome, and her clothes were like to die for, and she is like soooo amazing live, and no doubt I will get to boast about seeing her so early on in her career, when she’s like a bona fide super star, which she will be) my blog will now feature entries from my uber cool sister, Sister Rose.

I love her theatrical outfits, this one's a fave!

This is a rather exciting development, as she is 6 years younger than me, and single and thus leads a much cooler life (why deny when it’s true). So with the combination of my nanna adventures and her uber cool early 20’s ‘I’m so hot right now’ adventures, this blog is gonna be the best thing since the last blog which featured two sisters. YAYA!

Till next time...Rose.
