Pastel Blossom

Spring Pastels




Mint and pistachio are my favourite shades of green and at the moment I am loving them on jeans and shoes. I don't think it is too hard to match these soothing hues with other colours (goes well with black, white, firetruck red and other pastel shades). A bright floral jacket is a beautiful contrast against the paleness of the mint. I'd pair it with minimal jewellery and make-up to keep the look elegant but not overdone. I can't wait to try this in spring (or perhaps go pastel in winter).

Dimanche

I had the most relaxed and yet, spontaneous weekend. We went to the markets early in the morning on Sunday and then decided to spin around and head to the Swan Valley. 

The cooler weather called for the maxi skirt (Miss Shop) to match my top from Temt. Shoes are from Staccato and necklace from Forever New.

 A little treat for breakfast from the New Norcia bakery in Mt Hawthorn.
 The beautiful vines at Entopia Winery. This boutique winery produces some of the nicest wines I've tasted. The whites were sweet with very fruity accents (think along the notes of lychee, nectarines and pears). I am so glad we came across this little gem and the people were so friendly, letting us walk around the property to take pictures.
After much wine and cheese at Entopia we went to a nearby winery, Upper Reach, which had a restaurant with an amazing view of the vines. The food was beautiful but not over the top which made it perfect for a relaxing Sunday lunch.
Mushroom risotto balls 
 Turkish bread (garlic flavour of this was so yummy) with chorizo and feta salad.

I am definitely looking forward to another visit to the Swan Valley. Til next time!

Ipanema

Til next summer, goodbye to sipping tropical cocktails and building sand castles. For now I shall put together all things summer holiday-ish in Polyvoreland.
