Tonight we are in Bangkok and tomorrow we leave for Luang prubang in Laos. By now my feet should be really brown and I’ll hopefully be picking up some fab footwear like these gorgeous thongs from Giuseppe Zanotti and Sigerson Morrison off Net-a-porter.

I am sure by now my backpack is a little heavier from all the shopping. lets hope I still have money left.

Hello, this is where we’ve checked in today.

Well I am on the plane. Finally the day has arrived! I have pre-posted you a few posts for while I am away. I don’t want my site to go completely dead for the next month.

This is where my Husband and I will be staying for the first 3 nights. Although we want to experience the countries we are going to for what they are, and don’t want to eat western cuisine and stay in westernized 5 star hotels, we have treated ourselves here and there to some resort luxury. After all, we are on our official honeymoon.

The hotel is situated on Balangan beach in Bali and we plan to do nothing for the first three days, as after that, it’s backpacks on for a while. I can’t wait to share my Indonesian finds with you.

I have been following the Style Me Pretty wedding mood board competition and just love the winner seen here below.

I am leaving tomorrow for my honeymoon and I am in celebration mode! I just love the look of  these stylish cocktails I found on Swanky Tables Blog.

Finally I got all my images back from our “Let them eat cake” shoot. We had so much fun. Model was Adri from Y Models, make-up Nicole Raab, food styling Brita Du Plessis and photography Emielke.

For my last two shoots I have been sourcing ribbon. I have a new love for ribbon. There are so many uses. Besides gifting and pigtails, decorating table settings, tying gingham bows for serviette rings or hanging bunches in your home as stripey decor.

Here is some lovely ribbon I found the other day.

I thought I’d give you a sneak preview to some items I have sourced for www.adamandeve.co.za , to be uploaded onto their site soon . So do check them out for new summer and winer stock!
