I have a funny feeling that the colours of this outfit were inadvertently inspired by the Delpozo Spring/Summer 2014 collection I showed in this post. The serene trio of cream, white and periwinkle made it the perfect ensemble to relax and read a book in. One of my New Year’s Resolutions was to read a book each week. So far so good. Having my phone read out aloud to still counts as reading right? Well, at least that’s how I got to the end of Pride & Prejudice…
Due to my newfound love for reading, I was thrilled to see vintage books displayed in our Park Hyatt Melbourne hotel suite. Even in its Club Lounge, there is a library full of them. What joy and privilege it is to relax into a comfy couch and be transported into an imaginary world created by the words on a page! Especially if there are soft and squishy cushions to aid the visualisation process. After getting well acquainted with the cozy leather sofas in the Club Lounge, I found it difficult to leave, especially because they serve such delicious and healthy canapés…
I used to be someone who didn’t know how to rest. My idea of relaxation is to do as many things as possible. I thrived on being busy. But since becoming a new mom and having to readjust to the pace of a newborn, I’ve learnt the importance of rest and recuperation. There’s nothing like a hungry baby who wants to be fed at 3 am each day to challenge your energy levels. No wonder in Psalm 46:10 God says, “Be still, and know that I am God.” Sometimes you have to slow down. I’m beginning to take a leaf out of my husband’s page, who has always prioritised downtime. There is great wisdom in knowing when to rest.
What about you? How do you relax and recharge? A trip to the Park Hyatt Melbourne certainly helps too!
I wish you a gorgeous weekend ahead! Let’s stay in touch via Instagram (@cecyliadotcom) shall we?

[spoiler title=”中文版”] 我觉得这套衣服的颜色是由Delpozo2014年春/夏季的时装受的启发。你可能还记得我在这篇博客里曾经显示了那些服装。这三个感觉宁静的颜色放在一起很合奏，很适合看书穿。我新年的决议其中一个就是一个星期读一本书。到目前为止，我的进展还不错。我的手机也帮助我大声念出书来？这也算读书吗？至少这就是我怎样‘读’完了简·奥斯汀的著作。
因为我对阅读有新发现的爱，我很高兴看到墨尔本Park Hyatt宾馆的套房带有经典书籍。即使在俱乐部休息室里有一个书架，也备有很多的书。躺卧在一个舒适的沙发上，看着书里的故事，你简直能经入另一个世界！尤其当你靠在这么舒服的鸭绒垫子上，我很难离开，尤其是因为在宾馆的俱乐部里还有丰盛的美味并又健康的小吃…
我曾经是一个不知道怎么休息的人。对我来说，使我放松的就是多做事。我喜欢忙。但自从成为了一个新的妈妈，因为宝宝，我不得不调整我的时间，我也学到了休息的重要性。一个凌晨饿了的婴孩很容易会让你累。怪不得神在 诗篇46:10说，“你们要你們休息，要知道我是神。”有时你不得不慢下来。我得开始学习我的丈夫。他很懂得休息。
你呢？你是怎样休息的？祝你过一个幸福的周末！[/spoiler]

thank you Mica, I try to. I’m not good at taking naps, I tend to blog/bake or play the piano when Winston naps :D
I love to read too! I’m such a bookworm, I only wish that I had more time to read.
Love the mix of cream colours on you, they look beautiful against your skin tone.
