April

It's scary how quickly the months are flying by this year. It's almost the end of April and soon enough winter will be starting (although today's weather is cold enough to be considered winter!). I'm not a fan of the cold weather because I always get sick during these months.

Just some highlights from my last two weeks of April:

Dinner at Home Thai Restaurant for Amelia's bday







Sunday brunch at Armory Wharf Cafe & dessert at Cheeky Chocolate

Easter long weekend

It was so nice to have a four day weekend over Easter...a much needed break! And what made it even better was the warm sunny weather, which meant that I was able to hit the beach to try get some colour on my pale skin before the temperature starts getting cooler.

Here are some highlights from my long weekend :)


My beautiful Michael Kors 'Runway' watch arrived at work last
Thursday, just in time before the long weekend break. I bought
 it online from bloomingdales, so saved alot compared to the
retail price here in Oz. Shipping was so efficient as it
arrived a week after my purchase, and the shipping
cost was cheap too - approx. $13 

Getting ready for winter with this Forever New coat

Kasui black heels - not too high and super comfy

Nonna Maria's Place

Last Saturday Chris & I caught up with some friends over dinner in Parramatta. We wanted to go to a restaurant we haven't been to before, and also be away from the hustle bustle of Church Street. When I was doing my research on eatability I came across Nonna Maria's Place, which is a small homely Italian restaurant located on Phillip Street. It had gathered a lot of good reviews, so it ended up as our pick for the night.

The food was indeed fresh and tasty, and their prices were really affordable too! The menu was, however, quite limited but I guess that just means they can concentrate on the dishes on offer. Service was a little slow on the night, but that's probably because the place was super busy with the three big birthday groups there to celebrate. Overall, the food was nice, the atmosphere was relaxed and their owner/staff was very friendly.






After a relaxing weekend, it was so hard to get back into work mode. Luckily, a nice little package from yesstyle arrived at work yesterday to make my Monday bearable.
