French Boutique in Melbourne.- Mallalieu

Hello lovely ladies!

Hope your day is going well.

I've been MIA since my hubby left to Oxford and France.

I have special guest from Korea staying at my house.

Very good friend of mine who are trvel writers.

They are writing a book about family travel about Melbourne at the moment.

Last weekend, I took them to Olinda about 40 mins east of Melbourne city.

We had a great time and we looked around everywhere.

We stopped at a lof of beautiful shop but this particular French Boutique was our favorite.

The owner of the shop Kathy was a really nice lady and very easy to talk to.

She is opening another shop in Hawthorn East, kind of posh area in Melbourne

Mallalieu

is the name of shop.

113 Auburn Road, Hawthorn East.

Opening on 29th Oct, 2010

If you are in Melbourne area, stop by at Kathy's new shop.

It's raining in Melbourne, but very calming I must say. good for my garden too.

I am going to my first FRENCH lesson this afteroon.

Wish you all of you Happy Day!!

Beautiful Sunny Saturday in Melbourne, I was going to have a little trip to the hair salon next week ....

Don't envy me please.

I need to show and tell today. My lovely blog friend Julie @beignruby sent me these gorgeous photos.   I wish I could capture beautiful things in life like her. I quickly put them in my brown picture frame. They look amazing. Now I have to find a spot to display them in my house. 

Thank you Julie for the wonderful gift. I will cherish them with all my heart. By the way, Should I get the white frame? or Is brown frame okay for these beauties?

New Hair Style

I used to have a very long straight hair. Washing hair and drying takes so much effort as I am getting older(sigh~) . I had my hair cut short as all older women seem to do with they hairs. Now I want do have a bit of change. I just talked to my hairdresser about it, Looks like I am getting a little perm like Lucy Liu in the picture. She is really pretty, don't you think? Some said I looked like her  even though I don't agree with them. (lol). I shall take a break from my messy house and get over to Hair Salon for pamper soon.

Hope you are having a wonderful day!
