Outfit – Once Upon A Dream

I'm taking on another princess for my Disneybound outfit this week, with a Sleeping Beauty inspired outfit. Specifically, this look is taken from the outfit she wears while living in the forest, under the name Briar Rose (as I never wear pink to mimic her ballgown!). I chose…

Afternoon Tea at The Witchery

This last week I got the opportunity to go to The Witchery by the Castle, located just next to Edinburgh Castle, for their afternoon tea. Afternoon tea isn't something I do regularly - the last time would have been at The Peninsula back in Hong Kong, so…

So the other week I wrote this post about my five favourite cities in Europe, and the reasons I enjoyed my visits there so much. This time, I thought I'd turn to the other part of the world I've seen the most of, Asia (east and south east),…

Outfit – Drink Up Me Hearties

Yes, I'm channelling some pirate vibes today, for a Captain Jack Sparrow inspired outfit. As I've mentioned before, I'm trying to do these outfits out of items I already own instead of buying lots of new stuff, so I've had to go with black leather, where Jack tends…
