Novotel


My winter destination this month was Melbourne, the capital city of the state of Victoria in Australia. It was a short break, so I made sure to stay somewhere central where I could make the most of it and have as many attractions as possible within walking distance. After researching where to stay, I found the perfect accommodation for me and my family - the Novotel on Collins. 

The rooms are beautifully designed to provide comfort with style. 


The products provided are of excellent quality made with Fair Trade. 


After an excellent night that we spent in our warm and super comfortable beds we woke up hungry. We had a hot shower and went to the breakfast room which was beyond our expectations. The hotel offers a variety of cold and hot dishes. Cakes, cereals, fresh juice, breads, hot drinks, and so much more. I could fill this page talking about our delicious breakfast, so I will let you to find out more when you book your stay at Novotel on Collins



After breakfast and before we left the hotel, I had to go to the gym and exercise. I loved how Novotel's facilites cater for all your needs. I did not have to skip my morning exercise.  


 From the reception you have this amazing view which is also a shopping centre. It could have not been more perfect. The stunning decoration captivates you.  




In the afternoon, after sightseeing, shopping and experiencing some of the most amazing places Melbourne has to offer, we returned to Novotel and relaxed at the indoor heated pool area.




A gorgeous view from the restaurant grabbed my attention, as I stared at the beautiful winter trees touching the window while my imagination drifted away. Novotel's restaurant also offers excellent meals at dinner time. 


An unforgettable stay.

Broadwater Parkland

Welcome to Broadwater Parklands,  My day out here was full of warm sun and beautiful blue skies decorated with soft whipped cream clouds. Broadwater Parkland is located in Southport - Gold Coast Australia. This area offers a huge open park where major events are held and also exercise areas, playground, picnic and barbeque facilities. All provided along the water and amazing views.  To spend a day out in a very mild winter day on the Gold Coast I chose a beautiful and comfortable suit all white. Monochrome fashion is still going strong and I love all white suits to give an air of class and sophistication without being over dressed. This is definitely a day to office to evening outfit.

The Beach Look from Heaven

Image
Hello lovelies,  It is Spring in Australia.  It can be tricky to know what to wear, however I found the perfect dress in one of my favourite online stores ROSEGAL   The weather can change from cool to warm in a very short period of time. However, it was not going to stop me from going to the beach. We had a few weeks of rain and as soon as the weather improved a little I visited Kingscliff Beach in New South Wales. Although it is a different state, it is only about 45 min from the Gold Coast in Queensland (where I live). As soon as I got there, I felt the light wind and could not resist to open my arms and let the sensation of pure freedom get through me. The dress was perfect to make me feel just like that - free like the wind and wild like the waves. The light material of chiffon with the lace flare sleeves are so beautiful and delicate. The design is feminine and elegant, the flowy sleeves make them a statement in their own right. The colour is so beautiful, it matched so we
