South African Adventure + Shopping!

Shortly after my trip to Alaska, I left yet again to South Africa (I really need to space out my trips). I had an amazing time exploring nature there and went on multiple game drives that I will never forget.

World Design Capital 2014 - perfect time for us to visit :)
 
Heading up to Table Mountain, one of the new 7 Wonders of Nature.
Seal island!
 
Boulder's Bay, the highlight of my trip :)

So far from home.. this is where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Indian Ocean.

The game drives were unbelievably awesome.

Since I was on vacation, I did do some shopping and relaxing too, and here are a few shots of what I tried on:

Another little black dress for my collection - I really like the faux leather mixed with mesh trim at the center front.
I've been looking for a bodycon dress and also loved the jumpsuit on the right :)
The silk dress on the right has boning, which is very slimming
Topshop dress and romper
Zara girls blazer and jacket

Hermes Toolbox 20 Review!

Image
A long time ago, I used to covet the Hermes Birkin bag, as I'm sure many have since it's so elusive. Since then, I switched over to pine after the Hermes Kelly bag instead, after I saw it on Wendy Nguyen from Wendy's Lookbook here . She's a fellow petite and it just looked so nice on her! Over time though, and especially after baby A, I see how such a bag is definitely not practical for me and if I were to spend a small fortune on a bag, I'd want one that I would actually use more often. The Kelly has a thin strap and is quite structured, which is what I like about it, but in reality is too classy for my weekends. It wasn't until I went to Athens, posted about here , that I tried on the Hermes Toolbox 20 and fell for it. It was in a beautiful royal blue color but I already have a Celine in that same color (seen here ) but that bright color and how it hung on me were the reasons I really liked it so much. I realized I wouldn't love the bag in a beige or deep

Canada Goose: Fusion Fit Reviews

I'm finally done with exhausting all the options of Canada Goose coats and have to say that the Fusion Fit is definitely made to perfectly fit petites. Out of the three that I tried on, the Rossclair , Shelburne , and Trillium , they all have the perfect sleeve length but the hoods are all still too big in proportion and cover my whole face when worn. The Canada Goose Rossclair Parka Fusion Fit definitely fits much better than the normal Rossclair as shown here . I still like this Military Green color the best along with Black and like these large buttons better than the small loop ones on the Kensington but still prefer the ease of snap buttons to these. Canada Goose Shelburne Parka Fusion Fit in XXS Graphite The Canada Goose Shelburne Parka Fusion Fit is the only one of the three that does not have an adjustable bungee cord at the inner waist so the shape of this one is much more boxy. The sleeves of this one are also a bit longer than the others, though still much be

March Haul + Target Dresses

Image
Target has so many pretty dresses, which are perfect for the Spring weather we have now. It seems winter is finally over and pleasant weather is here. :) Left to right:  Sleeveless Scoop Neck Dress with Eyelet Trim ,  Strappy Side Button Top Midi Dress ,  Striped Strappy Side Button Top Midi Dress Left to right:  Striped Strappy High Neck Dress ,  Floral Print Off The Shoulder Dress ,  Sleeveless V-Neck Handkerchief Midi Dress ,  Floral Print Scoop Neck Strappy Button Front Tiered Midi Dress Out of all the ones I bought, I only decided to keep one but they were all really cute - I wish I had more space in my closet! The material of the two striped one and the black one are definitely wrinkle-prone as you can see in the photos but I liked the neutral stripes enough to keep it.
