Bastille Day

As part of my weekend with Mum we thought we would celebrate Bastille Day in style. So we headed to Eureka 89 for their Bastille Day Brunch.
The Golden Bees on the Front of The Eureka Tower

We entered via the red carpet and were escorted to the lift and up to the amazing 89th floor to be presented with glasses of Laurent Perrier Champagne a wonderful ambience and an amazing view.
Views over Fed Square

As mum and I mingled with our fellow diners we all had fun trying to find our houses and spotting familiar landmarks. Some easier to find then others. The building I live in can be seen below. Look for the tall black building in the middle distance. That's me!
Views over The Botanical Gardens towards South Yarra

Before we got too dizzy from the view and the champagne (at 10am and on an empty stomach) we were escorted into the dining the room where we were serenaded by an amazing french duo as we took our seats.
Our Beautiful Table Setting

What followed was lovely french food - croissants and baguettes with jam or homemade Nutella. Followed by a main course of truffle scrambled eggs with brioche. If that wasn't enough we were served crepes with lemon and meringue followed by a fruit platter. All washed down by glasses of chilled Laurent Perrier Champagne. (or water, tea or coffee as you wished). I picked the bubbles, of course.

Crepes with Lemon, Meringue and Vanilla Icecream

All is have to say is yummy! Thanks Eureka 89 for a great event and for the lovely company on our table. As we got up to leave satisfied and happy we were farewelled with an amazing salted caramel macaron. More deliciousness.
We left as the rain started to tumble

A wonderful way for us to start a Sunday and a fitting celebration of all things French for us.

 Now for a nap.

Gilmore Girls Inspired Mind Wanderings....

Having spent my weekend immersed in Stars Hollow with our favourite mother and daughter duo, I have now rejoined my reality and have had sufficient enough time to digest this next (and possibly last) instalment of my favourite TV family. I, like many others of around a similar age, spent the early 2000s religiously tuning into Gilmore Girls each week to get my fix of the latest caffeinated goings on in Stars Hollow. While Lorelei and Rory were closer in age than my mum and I, we did share a similar synchronicity of our relationships. We too spent plenty of time together shopping and enjoying hanging out. Though it is only now that i have developed a taste for coffee that we too can share this. So it was with excitement that we sat down Friday night to see what the last 9 years had held for our beloved Lorelei and Rory. Would Lorelei and Luke have finally got together? What adventures and accolades would Rory achieve on the Obama campaign trail as she pushed to dizzying

Handbags

As a girly girl I love shoes, champagne and handbags and fashion and plenty more. But I wanted to share a few handbags I am currently loving. Miu Miu Bag  - Image Making Magique The Hermes Birkin. Bliss Loving the pop of neon Another pop of neon My current favourite pop of neon yellow. Am trying to find my own before winter ends. As you can see my current style crush is a more structured tote. One day I will own a Birkin. Wonder what colour I will choose? A black or tan that will go with everything or something a little more special that shows off my fabulous purchase? I am in handbag heaven with these beauties. Can't wait to find my own slice of perfection. I feel a shopping weekend coming on! xxx

Thoughts and Feelings

Hi all, It's such a great feeling to know that I have a place to to put my thoughts. Whether anyone reads them, or takes them on board, isn't really the point. It's about a safe place to download and share. The good, the bad, the exciting and the ugly. While those close to me will know that the last 12 months have been tough and the last 6 more so, others will probably not have noticed a change in the business as usual version of me.  (aside from a lack of posting anything). Up until recently, I prided myself on that. On projecting that veneer to the world that everything is ok. But honestly inside I am sad. And it made me realise that we put on this veneer, this mask as if being the real version of ourselves would not be liked and accepted. That people would shun us and think less of us for showing our really feelings and our real lives. In this day of social media and the desire to share the best bits of our lives with everyone (those we know and those we don&#
