Christmas in Cairns




My first Christmas in the tropics started out with yet another great breakfast and then a very casual church service in which everyone somehow knew we were Americans. Then we were off to the Daintree Rainforest following lunch.



The first stop on our tour was Wallaby Rock. Having cute little wallabies grabbing and licking your hands has to be the greatest Christmas gift ever. They even gave us little presents on the bottom of our shoes to remember them by!





After washing the wallaby spit off my hands, we enjoyed Christmas Tea consisting of an assortment of tropical fruits, including many I have never heard of/seen before, my favorite being the "ice cream bean".



To conclude out tour, we walked into the rainforest itself and I can say that I have seen a mini roo and heard the call of a "catbird".


(I did not film this fine specimen) 


We came home to found that the staff had decorated the house to make us feel at home for Christmas with champagne, sparkles, music, an incredible feast, crackers, and even gingerbread houses.




After consuming an ungodly amount of champagne,filet, and red velvet cheesecake I passed out by 9 p.m.




The End

WCW: Taylor Swift

...well I never thought this would happen, but you have to admit- T.Swift killed it while performing at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in London.   Taylor looked as though she too could be in Angel as she strutted down the runway in black lingeries with a sheer black lace overlay.  Oh hayyyyy, betch As the end of the year approaches, so does NYE meaning the time has come to start scoping out your look to ring in the New Year.  This year I'm starting to consider sheer black lace instead of the usual sequins.  Check out my picks below to get Taylor's look! Jarlo Noah Maxi Nightcap Clothing Dixie dress- ON SALE Lovers + Friends Catwalk dress Bardot Sienna Bralette  &  Skirt I saw T. Swift wearing black lingerie and lace, so I bought black lingerie and lace.

Pacific Escape: For Love & Lemons Spring 2015

Image
I feel like I've been waiting for the new For Love & Lemons lookbook to come out for an eternity.  Well at least since I've tried to decide which styles from the Fall and Holiday collection are lasting buys.    I mean, do I want to wait for the Antigua mini in a better color especially if my friend has already bought it in chartreause or claimed it in sapphire?? Bras can always be justified, but maybe not 6 of the same lacy one in different colors.  Priorities, people.   So here's what's on the way:  Summer Whites: Luna Maxi dress find it   HERE   Just when I told myself, "no more rompers"...  Red Hot: THIS. the NEW Antigua  sex.  Garden Isle lace dress find it   HERE New Additions:  ehh, they are really into this tropical (fruit) thing   this color...
