You're the centre of my universe







You're the centre of my universe, for without you, I would not be here, experiencing this wonderful life. You're my mother, my confidente, my best friend.

My mother, for the first time in my lifetime, will be celebrating Mother's Day in China. I'm sure she's having the best time ever! Words cannot express the gratitude and love I feel towards my mum. She truly is the centre of my universe.

 Talking about the universe, I recently received this silk printed dress, which was a birthday gift. It is from Karen Walker's AW '13 Fantastique Magnifique collection.
I just love the print! It's my first dress in this cut and I'm sure it won't be my last. I love the fluidity of this style, which makes this look very feminine and pretty. The tie belt is ideal for cinching in my waist. I also really like the keyhole back, revealing a hint of skin. Karen Walker is so amazing!

What are you up to this weekend? We're going out tonight with friends to celebrate my birthday, which was last week. Tomorrow we'll be doing a bit of shopping. Of course, I'm looking forward to that! 

A very Happy Mother's Day for Sunday, to all the mums out there. Hope you get super spoiled!

A HUGE Happy Mother's Day to my mum. This post has been dedicated to you!

 Yours in style,

 Suzi x

gelati in the gardens

I was joking with my better half about the outfit I chose to wear to our special family reunion. We needed to travel into the city to the Fitzroy Gardens, and on our journey, we kept eachother entertained by thinking of gelati flavours which matched my oufit. In the end we decided upon raspberry, strawberry, vanilla & mango! The morning was quite fresh, so I decided to wear a layer of silk/cashmere over my silk chiffon shirt. This magical blend always comes through when I'm in need of extra warmth and comfort. This ensemble was the perfect match for my raspberry coloured skirt!  For a picnic, flats seemed like the perfect choice, because of their practicality. So I decided to bring a touch of mango to the gelati mix! These mustard coloured, patent leather ballet flats, are so chic and comfortable. They are one of my favourite pairs of Repetto ballet flats, purchased from the fabulous Alice & Deb at Treasurette. Check out ...

Valentine's Day 2025

Every year we absolutely love celebrating Valentine's Day and this year was no exception. I have been fortunate that my husband could take time off work to spend the day with me. There were so many options of what we could do and where to go, places like the countryside in the Yarra Valley or beach town of Torquay, but we ultimately decided to stay in Melbourne, as the weather was going to be around 23 degrees Celsius. There are many choice of cafes in Melbourne, but one of our favourites is  Hello Sailor . I first stumbled upon this quaint cafe when shopping in Auburn Village, located in the leafy suburb of Hawthorn. I pre- ordered an almond croissant as they often sell out and since I cannot eat garlic nor onion, I am very limited with choices. Hubby chose the beef tacos which he enjoyed with a fresh juice and I enjoyed the loose leaf Earl Grey, which is served in the chicest see-through tea pot. We had a lovely chat and a relaxed time.  Afterwards we decided to head to Chad...

CHANEL Fall/Winter Haute Couture 2023/24

The CHANEL Fall/Winter Haute Couture 2023/24 was streamed live on Instagram this evening. The show took place along the banks of the Seine, beneath the famous Eiffel Tower. Striking combinations of colours were seen, along with ruffles, bow details on dresses and pattern clashing.  The looks were heavy on embellishments with the Houses' flower, the Camellia, along with hydrangeas and daisies, in a multicoloured kaleidoscope of colours. Twisted rope-like belts adorned models' waistlines and signature gold buttons adorned blazers. Surprising colour combinations were seen, such as red, black and charcoal, as well as orange, pink and gold.  My favourite from the collection was indeed the last look, as it reminded me of a modern take on the bridal gown Audrey Hepburn wore in the movie, 'Funny Face'.  The gown was simple, with a bow detail at the collar, longer sleeves and a shorter, fuller skirt, worn with a short veil. A perfect final look to the beautiful CHANEL haute cou...
