Sunday at the sea in Seed stripes

Last Sunday (for Father's Day) we had a fabulous day, starting with wine tasting at one of our favourite wineries, followed by a leisurely vineyard lunch, finishing with a trip to the beach...

Wine with a view...

Oversized billowy sleeves...

 Lil' Brigs #1's room, love the wall stickers from Tiny Me

Went for a little browse at the Scanlan & Theodore store

 They always have the best sofa, and this new one is so gorgeous (pic doesn't do it justice)

 When I got back I needed my 2nd double shot of coffee...(I usually only have one, was running out of steam)

 The dress isn't that long, I just pulled it over my legs, trying to show how oversized the sleeves are on this Stella McCartney dress...

Don't let its simple appearance fool you: Felicia's 'special' consists of alternating layers of vanilla sponge, fresh whipped cream, dulce de leche caramel, peach slices and a layer of fresh meringue...yuuuummm!

Outfit of the day: Stella McCartney oversized turteneck mohair dress (a few seasons old), Louis Vuitton Elise Epi wallet, Jimmy Fairly glasses, Chloe Susanna black boots (available HERE, HERE, and HERE), Proenza Schouler Classic PS11 in black bag (available at Net-a-Porter HERE, HERE and directly from Proenza Schouler HERE).

What I wore today: Current/Elliott Infantry Jacket, Chloe Susanna boots and Proenza Schouler PS11 and my (or Gwyneth's) Spiced Kettlecorn Recipe

Took the lil' ones to Playgroup today, they had a ball.  This is what I wore out:

 Made some popcorn in the afternoon.  I have been making this spiced kettle corn for years...since I first saw it on a Goop newsletter.

Yield: about 8 cups

Ingredients:
¼ cup unsalted butter
1 tablespoon canola oil
½ cup corn kernels
3 tablespoons sugar (I use coconut sugar, but you can use white)
1 tablespoon raw sugar (courser sugar), optional
0.5 teaspoon kosher salt (I usually use Maldon, but used Fleur de Sel de Guerande today - and a bit less than listed here)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (I usually use more, and just shake it liberally over the popcorn)
pinch of freshly grated nutmeg, optional

What to do:
1. Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat.
2. Once  melted, add the oil, kernels and sugar stirring to ensure everything is well mixed.
3. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and cook on medium-low heat until kernels stop popping.
4. Be sure to shake the pot quite often to make sure the kernels are cooking evenly.
5. Remove from heat and immediately and pour into large bowl.
6. Add salt and spices, tossing to coat.

I am a huge popcorn fan, and have childhood memories of my mom making my sisters and I popcorn, putting them in a sheet of white paper rolled into a cone, and giving it to us on outings...Also, at the movies, it's more common to order caramelised popcorn than 'salt & butter' popcorn.  Brazilians sure have a sweet tooth!  As such, I practically never eat salted popcorn, and would pretty much never buy popcorn at the movies (here Down Under it's usually only 'salted').  So I make a batch, and 'smuggle' mine in, haha!

Outfit details: Current/Elliott Infantry jacket (available HERE, HERE and HERE), Glassons merino wool fine knit, J Brand black 811 jeans in Shadow (available HERE), Chloe Susanna black boots (available HERE, HERE, and HERE), Proenza Schouler Classic PS11 in black bag (available at Net-a-Porter HERE, HERE and directly from Proenza Schouler HERE)

Seed Heritage striped espadrilles

I don't go into actual stores very often, but it's always so fun going into a Seed store, as the visual merchandising in the store is just gorgeous! The store sells baby, kids and women's clothing (I usually go for the kids clothing)

How cute are these headbands?

Even though I mostly go to Seed for the little ones, one day I found a scarf that soon became one of my favourite scarves, and I've always checked out their scarves since, as they always have a gorgeous range...  I recently caught wind that they had a wicked two-toned leather espadrille out (sold out online immediately), so I made an effort to go in store.  No leather espadrilles left (except for a size 41), but these were in store.

 I tried one to figure out sizing...

 They looked so cute on, I had to bring them home with me, and I could immediately picture them with so many outfits:

Look 1: Maje black dress, Celine Trio, Swisslegend watch, Jimmy Fairly sunglasses, Ek Thongprasert bracelet

 Look 2: Sincerely Jules 'Viva la Moda' tee (available here), Chanel Boy bag, Zara denim shorts, Ray Ban folding wayfarer sunglasses

I got to wear them on Sunday (Father's Day here Down Under) which I'll share about in the next post.

Happy Hump Day everyone!

What I wore: Chloe jewelled mariniere, Celine Trio and Rivieras Espadrilles

Yesterday was a beautifully sunny day...

Coffee and macarons...what a way to start my day!  Coffee deflated by the time I snapped it...it looked like a souffle before! 

 I think I've had this Chloe top for almost 10 years! My favourite part are the jewelled details...Even though I have 1001 striped tops, this is one of my favourites...

Rivieras espadrilles in the Jimmy Fairly store in Paris - multicoloured leather version available here, I found my colourway here, and similar color combinations at net-a-porter, here and here

We went to our favourite playground, couldn't help 'hopscotching'

 Lil' Brigs #1 had a ball at the playground, especially in the sand pit and on the swing...

Lunch at Burgastronomy: Hot bacon bird - fried chicken, lettuce and tomato with bbq sauce, mayonnaise and chipotle with the most AMAZING sweet potato fries with an extra side of crispy fried chicken for good measure...

Top: Chloe, Sunglasses: Tiffany aviators (I had the Ray Ban folding wayfarer sunglasses earlier), Jeans: Chloe, Bag: Celine, Shoes: Rivieras - multicoloured leather version available here, I found my colourway here, and similar color combinations at net-a-porter, here and here

I cannot tell you how much I love popcorn!

My favourite way to make it: kettle popcorn with cinnamon, nutmeg, sea salt and coconut sugar

And the best drink to have it with? Yes, milk...
