Desserts at Strawberry Fare

A friend was having a birthday at Strawberry Fare last weekend, which is a restaurant that is known for their desserts! They are pretty pricey just for dessert ($15-$17 each) but are very large and very rich. My flatmate and I decided to share one, as last time we went there we both came out feeling sick! The desserts are filling as well, as I realised in my rush to get ready (I'd been a bit reluctant to start), I had forgotten to eat dinner! But I wasn't anywhere near starving after that! Although, I did still eat dinner afterwards - it just felt wrong to just have dessert!

A ridiculously sweet lunch

This afternoon I had the pleasure of going out for 'lunch' with my super amazing flattie Ping! We lived in the halls together last year and are now flatting together.

Since we are both pretty stringent on saving money, this is actually the first time we've eaten out! (Oh, the fun times of student life!). To top it off we actually used a coupon to get everything you will see for $10! (Value:$20) - You've gotta love Groupon!

Jacket: Size 10 Children's blazer from Target (only $17!) - How big are these American children??

Top: Long-sleeve V-neck from Supre, XXS (good for small sizes!)

Skirt: Size 6 Portmans from Dotti outlet

Shoes: Size 5 Pulp from Hannah's

Pearls: Inherited from Mum

The cafe was actually a chocolate cafe, so everything was super sweet and super rich (probably worth  a couple of weeks of chocolate in one sitting!)
Butler's Chocolate cafe:
Ping had:
A ginger slice - very gingery, wouldn't recommend if you don't like ginger
Chocolate afogato - This was like a shot of coffee over vanilla icecream, with chocolate sauce drizzled over the top - very yummy!
I had:
Macadamia Chocolate slice - This was very good apart from that it didn't really taste like macadamia. It was more of a chocolate caramel slice. Very sweet and rich.
I also had a cookie hot chocolate, because it just sounded so interesting! Generally I probably would have had either a slice or a drink, because they were both very chocolately and very rich, but this was a one-time deal! The drink itself was even more chocolately than normal hot chocolates from a cafe, and also had some semi-crushed oreos in it. Delicious!

This was our treat for it being the end of term! And handing in our law assignments! And a chance for feeling a little classier!

After tomorrow I'm heading home for a week of holidays and birthdays!
Have a good weekend!

Shopping Sunday

Unfortunately for me, this was not a SHOPPING shopping day, but just merely a flat outing to the Sunday fresh produce market and the grocery store... However, I was still going to be out on display to the public, so I couldn't really stay in my pyjamas all day! It was a little colder today (writing this now wearing a fluffy hoodie and lap covered in a blanket!) but I was determined that I would not pull out the winter jackets yet! As it turns out, a light cardigan was enough for today.

And here is an indepth picture of the cardigan!

- Tshirt from Supre

- Floral jeans from Just Jeans, shortened and hemmed, in this picture they are cuffed also

- Bag/Cardigan both secondhand from a cousin. The cardigan is a little big for me, but I love the design so much I wear it anyway. The sleeves are a little wide, but I've been too lazy to take them in, and instead just wear them rolled up.

- Shoes from Novo

- Necklace from Max

- And of course - the all important accessory - A hairtie!

It took me aaaaages to find a highnecked tshirt! I looked in basically every chain store I could find, but they were not to be found! Eventually, I found one, in Supre of all places, which is not known for its... Conservatism, but alas! There was one there, and in my size, and everything in store was 30% off, just as an added bonus!

I hope you all had a magnificent weekend... For me tomorrow means the start of a new year at university, and lots and lots of work! What does it mean for you??
