still clinging to winter's chill...

Winter is truly upon us! I, for one, am loving the cool crisp mornings, winter fashion, wooly scarves, slow-cooked meals at night, and ugg boots on a weekend - bliss!



Breakfast at lee&me is just as fun in the cold as in summer!



Pretty! And pretty delicious



Breakfast special of brioche French toast with butterscotch sauce, mixed berry jam and sweetened ricotta...



V had the hotcakes - with mixed berries and ricotta on the side



This dress is surprisingly warm, being 100% silk!



Again, top marks to anyone who can ID this Lover dress for me! Nabbed it in the recent jumble sale, but I have no idea of the style name or collection



Resembling a 6-year old on her first day at school LOL



Realising the grass was wet!

Tony Bianco wedge heels
Cotton On sunglasses
Jag satchel with Oroton silk scarf



I saw this in the supermarket this afternoon and squeeeed! Whitestone cheese, from Omaru in New Zealand! And only $2.99 each! Must be because our dollar is so strong right now - this stuff is seriously fantastic, you must try!



Mmmmmm olives and cheese - I could live on this!

Hope you are all enjoying the weekend!

  5. Great breakfast & dress! You do slightly resemble a 6 year old on the first day of school, but in the best way possible. You totally pull it off. I really doubt I could! I too love chilly days, but only if I'm prepared and rugged up!

  6. I think that may be the Ophelia dress from the 1+1 collection... I am embarrassed at how much useless Lover trivia is stored in my brain... Anyway, you look very cute and I continue to be jealous of all the stuff you got at the jumble sale!!

  7. Ohhhh that cheese looks yummmmy! I agree with kessielauren, if I could eat cheese, olives + wine for lunch and dinner (maybe not breakfast ha) every single day, I would happily do so!! xxx

  8. Hannah - French toast is without a doubt one of my favourite foods, so yummy! I've never had it made with brioche before, definitely a good addition

    aelie - thanks hun! I am so excited about this season's winter fashion!

    jessielauren - hehe I could probably consume close to my own weight in cheese and antipasti, if I tried

    aliceblue - thankyou so much hun!

    Heidi - thanks hun. totally agree too, nothing worse than getting caught outside unprepared in cold weather!

    Bonsaid - yaaaaay, thankyou!!! I knew I could rely on you to ID the dress for me! :D I love your capacity for Lover trivia!

    PP - hmmmm trying to think of a cheese-based breakfast food and coming up short. I think we need to all move to Paris where such foods are consumed daily! :D

  9. Olives and cheese sound like the perfect diet to me! Thanks for the recommendation about Whitestone cheese - I'll be keeping a look out for that now.

  10. My Dad and I started making brioche into french toast about 10 years ago and I have to say, normal bread just doesn't cut it for me any more. It is fantastic isn't it!

    Looks like a gorgeous weekend was had and shows how much warmer it is at the coast.
