Style, Renovations, and Foodie Favourites

Wednesday

Thanks so much for your lovely comments on my last couple of posts, you are the best readers! Although, I have always had a range of things that I share on the blog, per your request I am thinking of doing more posts regarding home décor, and food in general, in addition to fashion. Thanks to you, since you have given me brilliant feedback, I have decided to keep at it.

Don't fret darlings, my unwavering adoration for fashion will still be fondly expressed here. This is not a big change since you have already seen posts like this, but I will make an extra effort in sharing even more lifestyle posts. It's rather more of a slight blog renovation in the works.

Here’s a few items that I am currently wearing and loving at the moment, including this beautiful double-sided scarf with tartan and houndstooth – a tasteful and easy styling element, but also perfect for the winter season. 
Crown brooch, and cosy scarf,  Wine bags for guests, This week's style favourites with bright orange clutch and eco-watch, Grocery shopping in colour!
Delicious dinner (see below for details), and Glam selfie indoors with new hat preview.


Wearing: Brooches! Fashion brooches, vintage brooches, and even colourful glam style brooches like this have been adorning my hats and scarves. I suppose it’s time to take out those aged brooches from my nan.

Pondering: about a few more recipes that I will be trying out, as well as revamping some of my family’s recipes. Remember this cookbook? Over the past weekend, we had a great little chat with a few couple friends, and decided to host an upcoming soup and salad dinner party. It may sound very simple, but surely, if you know me at all, then you know that I have a few tricks up my epicurean sleeve. 

And, what better way to grab inspiration than from receiving a gift from a best friend. I was recently given a gift card for Christmas, but had to wait to use it because of hectic schedules, and holiday travel, etc. I cannot wait to use these adorable little table placement cards!

Eating: Here are two dishes that I cooked this past week for dinner with friends. I may also be sharing little recipes too in the future. I hope you enjoy!
 
Stay tuned, I have a quick and fun little craft for you coming up soon. A preview will likely make its way to my Instagram, so keep your stylish eyes peeled.


What has been your favourite moment of the week so far?

  8. What a cheerful, colourful post! Soup is definitely a good idea here as it is so very cold. Carrot soup with ginger is a favourite of mine and I must try your variation. I have several vintage brooches which I forget to take out and wear. Your crown one is so unusual!

  30. Hi Madison, heute mal in deutsch. Ich glaube ich bin zu müde für english und dein deutsch ist besser als mein english. Ich freue mich das du nicht nur Mode Posts machst. Mich interessiert Deko, Essen usw. ach eigentlich alles. Die Karottensuppe sieht super lecker aus. Das Rezept musst du unbedingt posten. Ich bin immer auf der Suche nach gesunden, leckeren Rezepten. Wow das ist wirklich ein Glam Selfie. Wunderschönes Foto. Wünsch dir einen schönen Donnerstag!

  51. I make a similar carrot soup but without paprika. Next time I will add paprika to it and see how it goes.

    Nothing is more fun than having a dinner party with friends. Have fun!!!

  62. You look stunning in that selfie Madison. Love the hat and scarf . You are such a great cook. The food looks and sounds delicious. Thanks for sharing.

    Oh by the way, whipped salad dressing is just like mayo only that it isn't as tangy. It has a more subtle taste that i like to it. Love mayo too though :).

    Have a great weekend.

  63. Thank you lovely for the sweet comment. Oh, okay, so it's not as tangy, good because I am not a mayo fan really. Thanks! <3 Wishing you a wonderful w/e.
