Celebrated a friend's birthday the best way we know how.....dinner at Hippo Creek (an African restaurant). We shared a plate entitled 'African Safari' for starters (comprising skewers of buffalo, camel, crocodile and ostrich with monkey gland (??!!?!) and peri-peri sauce). Camel is delicious. And before you berate me, camels are officially at pest level here in Australia. We also shared some biltong (ridiculously good) and African beer bread. For mains, we tried the Hunters Assaggai (marinated and flame grilled beef on a skewer, hanging over a bowl of fries with garlic butter), the pepper crusted buffalo fillet, the camel fillet and the lions kill. Ahhh, what a meal. A restaurant deserving of all its accolades in the few months it has been open at the marina.
I wore my new favourite shoes to dinner. These babies have not left my feet this weekend. Stuart laughed at me yesterday when I (jokingly) got into bed wearing my pyjamas and the boots in question. Serious love. And sooo comfy. Amen. Well worth the wait :)

These babies have a detachable harness (which you can adjust depending on how slouchy you want to wear the boots), are all leather and weigh about 1.3 kgs. They don't actually feel heavy when you wear them though....hmmm, wonder how heavy the Edelmans are.

Thinking of making szechuan chicken for dinner, so I best work out the ingredients I'll need. Hope you've all had a fab weekend :)

OOoooh So I don't want to sink into "cliché" BUT your shirt/dress' "Zebra-likesque" stripes seem ideally in harmony with the "African Safari" 's Theme Dear Anika !!!
ps: Actually (without inquisitiveness) Where do you plan to go in France, in Paris ?

You're lovely !
Hey beautiful, it's been too long! Sorry about the AWOL-ness lol
Oh my god, more unique versions of the Edelman's. You guys belong together! Would have them on my bedside table so I could wake up to them if I were you haha
Wicked news about the store too, I can't believe you are planning to sell your Colin Stuart booties though!
fantastic shoes!!
Camel IS good! I tried it and loved it. Had crocodile jerky and emu as well and buffalo is fab!! All while I was living in Oz, of course! But monkey glands??? um....no haha.
I love your first outfit, I just love it so much. If I saw you on the streets, I would stop you right there and take a photo!
Good thing you live far away from me. If we ever met, I would try to snatch those babies off your feet ;) Love them soooo much and very jealous! You look fab as always :)
Those dishes sound crazy & I love your shoes.
Oh man. Seeing that plate with chips. I crave the chips so much now!
Style Porn, thought you might have ;)
Stephanie...bless, thank you so much :)
Marcella, nah. I was too lazy to take a store pic so just used this pic I already had. Most of the shoes will be sold though.
Michael, thanks! The art of street style is completely foreign to me, being from sleep ol' Perth and all :P
lol@the Man Who Knew Too Much. I've met my match. Chips are my downfall. Every time!
And Wanderlusting, cannot wait for you to re-visit Aus. I can just see us having a blast!
Seriously killer boots. What a gorgeous shape. Strong but still totally feminine.
