Sunday, 26 April 2015. Watercolors Of Brazil III. Oh, look.the world famous Brazilian carnival is on. We obviously need to go and see that. It's in EVERY bucket list you will ever read. We NEED to go! I instructed The Husband. He had no choice but to agree. In typical Brazilian fashion buying tickets online was not an option with foreign bank cards. We had to physically go and buy them from the venue. Why make it easy for foreign visitors when you can make it difficult? Brazilians helpfully call every fo...

http://kikisparlour.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 24 June 2014. Oui, Oui Paris V. I was hungry so I scanned around to spot a good place to eat. There was a dishevelled looking man sitting at the table in a nearby restaurant, smoking and writing furiously in his well thumbed notebook. Probably a philosopher. Or a writer. Look"; I said to The Husband: "He's clearly French. It really doesn't get more French than that. Let's eat here.". No It looks empty. I want to eat there."; he said pointing at another place. Oh, OK then.". The menu was in French.

Saturday, 30 August 2014. Leave a Comment 10. Friday, 29 August 2014. Me being me, the imminent arrival of autumn never means renewing my wardrobe with some beige, black and grey. No. It means an explosion of colour. 1) ASOS sweater.in pink. (or is it purple? With lace heart elbow patches. Cotton. That will do me. 2) Erin Elizabeth stackable bracelets.because I didn't quite master the art of stacking myself so I need a ready made stack. It doesn't get better than that. Also, do checkout their lookbook.

Kiki's Parlour: February 2014
http://kikisparlour.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 19 February 2014. Long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away when I was a little girl, my Ma told me not to colour clash. "Pink and red don't go together, darling"; she would say when I invariably presented myself wearing red tights and pink dress. But why, Ma? Well, they just don't, honey.". And that was that. Maybe the times have changed or maybe I'm just stubborn, but here I am, decades later, colour clashing pink and red again. Do you like it or are you with my Ma? Leave a Comment 16.

We can just sit here in the house and enjoy its.um.medievalness."; I suggested. We really do need to get out at some point, you know."; said The Husband. OK then, but only after I open every single cupboard and drawer and check under the bed for snakes.". There are no poisonous sna.". Said The (Brazilian) Husband suspiciously.
