I am an avid food fan and buffets really lure me in. Recently I visited the Crown Conservatory. They have very fresh sea food and charming desserts. As you will later see, I totally over-indulged in dinner and had to loosen my snake-skin belt.
I opted for a sweet white minidress, suede wedges, these are my most comfortable shoes to date. I have stood in them for 12 hours and they will provide ample support. I made my jade-pearl-onyx beaded necklace the night before. My snake skin belt was a vintage souvenir from Berne, Switzerland, and the Bally bag, a vintage souvenir from Spitalfields, London.

This is my big watch- all the better for me to tell the time. A recent thrift find.
This was my 1st course. I really piled it up. Told you I was a glutton. The food is so fresh, waiters remove all food after a certain time. The oysters were delicious too.
Beautiful desserts – tarts, cheesecakes, meringues, lemon tart, mousse, jelly and cakes. I was in sweet heaven.

The setting sun was beautiful but my little Canon really does not do it justice. I rediscovered a silk linen skirt I’ve had for over a decade but have never worn. It actually has a matching short-sleeved jacket but I refuse to wear them together because it makes me look like a first lady candidate. I love the texture of this skirt and yes it has pockets!
Everything I’m wearing is vintage.
Recently I was lucky enough to come across these amazing plastic amber earrings from the thrift shop. They’re vintage Body Art (an ancient Australian jewelery label) which may have become extinct…
I love collecting vintage earrings. It’s become a bit of an obsession. If you don’t know what I am talking about, check out this post?
I am starting to get quite excited about my eminent trip to Paris. Is anyone going to Paris Fashion Week? I am booking my flight soon!
