High Tea at the Grand Hyatt

Seeing as my grandma goes to visit my aunty (who lives on the other side of Melbourne) every Easter, as a way of celebrating Easter earlier, mum and I took my grandma out for high tea! It has become a tradition to do this and we have visited a few venues for high tea in the past including The Langham and Crown. 

Here's to the part I assume you're all waiting for; what we ate. First up we were given a tiered stand with some savoury snacks. We were given homemade sausage rolls, bagels with mozzarella and tomato, (my favourite) chicken sandwiches, and a roll with salmon. All of these were bite size, and were quite tasty and light. 

Following this we were told to help ourselves to the dessert station which had everything any sweet tooth would dream of. Being the dessert enthusiast I am, I went a little crazy. The buffet section had everything from macaroons of every flavour (even popcorn), to cheesecake, and to waffles. The options were endless. I felt like I had won the golden ticket and visited Willy Wonka. 

Included in the package was unlimited tea and coffee. For me that meant I could enjoy a soy chai latte and some chamomile tea in the booth where we we sat that overlooked the city street. 

While I'm still full from the many rounds of dessert I enjoyed, I strongly recommend that you take advantage of the Grand Hyatt's high tea experience, and I promise you will not be disappointed. 

Did I mention there's persian fairy floss too?

Chanel is fundamentally an art form.

Handbags? They seem more like works of art to me. One can only dream of Chanel... And on that note, I hope you have a lovely Friday night!

Style Inspiration: Ariana Grande

Am I the only one in awe of everything about Ariana Grande? Hmm... Let's see. She can sing beautifully, she can act, and well most of all she always dresses incredibly. I am so inspired by Ariana's fashion sense due to its youthfulness and classicality. It doesn't stop with her clothes. Even her hair colour and hairdo is contemporary and chic!

'Wednesday Addams'

For those of you that didn't know, over the weekend I attended a 90s themed birthday party. I was keen to get my outfit perfect, and when mum told me that we would all be going as 'The Addams Family', I must say that I was a little hesitant. I ended up taking on the challenge of creating a modern day Wednesday costume as stylish as possible and here's how.

Me as 'Wednesday Addams'.

Hair- I had my hair in two braids that led into two plain pigtails, not only stylish but also inexpensive!

Make-up- I wore simple make-up (foundation, blush, bronzer and mascara) with plum coloured lipstick, the same colour as my nail polish!

Clothing & accessories- I wore an ASOS dress along with black stockings and black suede chunky heels. I also wore a plain faux pearl bracelet and faux pearl earrings.

Let me know what you think,
