Tea anyone?

IMG_2289you asked me to check out tea in Hawaii and i just happened to go to the Waioli Tea room

IMG_2284it was all about tea and cakes . . .  not your British scones ( although i think they did serve them

on occasion) But passion fruit cake or LiliKoi as it is known in Hawaii

IMG_2287

its amazing i can keep that bikini body fit , must be all the surfing.

first things first.

i survived the tsunami

because it never really happened.

But just to say it was exciting at the time even though it was a huge anti climax.

IMG_2527this is what it was like most of the time. Not that i want to make you jealous because of course

you  do live by the sea but is it as clear as this?

IMG_2556

look at this beach in Ohau soooo beautiful.IMG_2644this is the North Shore. thats me in the bikini … watching the surfers. The North Shore is where all

the surfing happens during the winter months.

is it cos i is blonde?

89608787

I think im having a senior moment.

Well maybe a blonde AND senior moment .

Excuse me a moment ,but since Ive been drinking a lot of Lovely Loose tea leaves ( laduree Melange if you’d like to know…im sooo off the caffeine this year )And ,of course , Tea tastes so much better in Bone china . Ive just been told that bone china is infact BONE CHINA. fact.

Can you actually believe that Bone china is truly made of bones?- tissue is removed from animal bones, and then the remaining bones are heated at temperatures reaching nearly 1000 degrees Celsius. This temperature sterilizes the bone, making it safe for use in china. The average bone china plate contains about 50 percent animal bone.

Im just a little slightly off the little chic cups and saucers now . . .

    ive been thinking a lot about-” how do you wear  a scarf? .” I love scarves and there is a fine line between looking cool and looking a little Crazy .

    And then walked into my office my little own Edie Beale. No prompting.She must be feeling for a scarve too . I just couldnt stop laughing because she got it oh so right !

    I now im realising that ive started to ask my little fashion guru for fashion advise.

    Watch this space . She wants to start her own dressing up blog .

    THE blizzard. . .

    mood o meter.

    IMG_0999

    this is what you do when the person you work for or with is very moody. its the passive aggresive approach. its the MOOD O METER.

    good day to bad day. this means employees can get into work and know whats going on without putting their foot in it so to speak.

    IMG_1001

    for example on a good day a cocktail , skinny model and sun could predict happiness where AS

    IMG_1000an edit meeting , clouds or even a monday become a NO NO for a good work day.

    IMG_0098

    very often when in meetings or edits i find myself doodling the very chic emily craig. here she is in her look of the season … a fringe pure scarf, stripy tee , and new APC wedges. 9 and a dean and delucca americano!

    IMG_0099

    these are the APC wedges which look so much more comfortable than the very high heels she usually wears.

    IMG_0101

    for instance these are the usual type of high heels most often little boots , but i have to say i do LOVE

    the new wedges.

    IMG_0104

    here im very surprised she wasnt wearing the signature scarf , must have been hot in the studio.

    IMG_0093

    she also LOVES a shoulder pad right now.
