One of the things I wanted to do this year was just to have some more fun and that means actually making sure I book days off work to do things I really want to do. So on Friday, I spent the day with my sister in London for her birthday. We had a wonderful birthday lunch at Roux at the Landau (blog post coming soon!) and then naturally spent the rest of the day shopping. It was such a lovely day and I've decided that my sisters and I should definitely do more fun things together. I then spent Saturday afternoon introducing a friend to dim sum and today, I will be eating yet more birthday cake as it's my cousin's birthday. All of this of course, is documented on my Instagram so do come and say hi! It's definitely been a great weekend and there is more to come next weekend as I'll be celebrating Chinese New Year. I'm SO looking forward to gathering at my grandma's with my family, eating lots of festive food and joining in all the merriment!
Love your outfit! That's such a cute necklace! <3
ReplyDeleteLove the outfit! I want to do more fun things with my days off this year too, and if this involves lots of lunching then I'm all for it!

Haha you guys are awesome! I'm so pleased I took the day off and spent it with my sis - we don't hang out often any more since she works such long hours at work and so I tend to spend more time with the baby sis instead, so it was really nice! xxx
ReplyDeleteOh definitely, it's super cute and such a nice little detail to add to a plain top :)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely, taking the Friday off work made the weekend seem like a holiday - it was great!!

Thanks Yasmine! I've been wearing the necklace a lot lately, especially with simple/plain tops!
ReplyDeleteI know, I think it's easy to get stuck in a rut! I have been saving holiday days at work but I should really just book them off and put them to good use!
ReplyDeleteThanks Cate! Yes it's definitely good to get out of the routine and start doing more - makes weekends even better! Taking off the Friday was awesome and I should definitely do It more often....
ReplyDeleteThanks Ceri! I hope we both succeed in having some more fun. My next step is to book some flights for the end of the year.
ReplyDeleteIt really made me realise that I need to spend more time with them as it's quite fun and extra bonding time with the siblings is always a good thing :)
ReplyDeleteThank you :) xx
ReplyDeleteI'm still so into Burgundy these days, definitely one of my favourite hues to wear/buy!
ReplyDeleteThanks Monique! The necklace is adorable isn't it?
ReplyDeleteAwww you're awesome. Thanks for the lovely comment as always! Pleased you like the MCM bag. It's kind of too small to use all the time but it's great for a quick trip to the shops. I can't wait to celebrate CNY. Hopefully a big eve dinner tonight and then my family are all gathering on Sunday. Excited!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Valerie! :D x
ReplyDeleteThanks Ariana. The necklace is so fun and a good length as well, so I've been wearing it a lot lately as it goes so well with plainer clothes!
ReplyDeleteYay for Chinese new year. I hope you have a wonderful one too - I can't wait to see all my family gather. It gets pretty chaotic but I wouldn't have it any other way x
ReplyDeleteTotally! It really was one of the best weekends and it put me in such a positive mood for the following week so I think I need to embrace taking days off and having some more fun. It was great to hang out with her and I hope we get to do it again at some point :)
