Dark Chocolate Pudding w/ Salted Caramel Pistachios

Cooler months equal comfort food. And more often than not the thought of comfort food leads itself to chocolate. In this case, chocolate pudding. The folks at The Artful Desperado have a delicious take on this with their Mayan Dark Chocolate Pudding which is topped with candied, salted pistachios.

Boots

There's a chill in the air in Melbourne town of late. The kind of 2 degree night chill which is not always welcomed. None the less, here  is a post which is dedicated to what is hands down the best thing about Winter. Boots.

We're talking black errrthang. Which also happens to be our failsafe combination of colours (or lack of, rather).

a. ACNE "black matte ankle boots"

b. Alexander Wang "sunniva wedge booties"

c. Saint Laurent "Leather Chelsea boots"

d. Topshop "Abigail Neoprene Ankle Boots"

e. Givenchy "moto boot"

f. ACNE "free leather ankle boots"

with love.

French White

Cohesive, fluid and never lacking warmth, Phoebe Philo’s Fall/Winter 2013 collection for Celine was frankly put by Style.com’s Jo-Ann Furniss as “tactile, tasteful, and—dare it be said—cozy.”

The Fall 2013 runway shows may feel like they were a lifetime ago, by  it's bloody cold down in Australia at the moment, so one would think they are our present.

Amidst Philo's perfect sense je ne sais quoi- alongside perfect editing and melt-in-your-mouth looks, the Celine RTW collection was full with cream-on-cream looks. Let's call it French White. French White is fresh, crisp and creates a modern warmth which was all by accentuated by the rounded shapes of Philo's creations. Made up of usually welcomes earth tones of deep beiges, greens and ochre-browns, Fall brings with it a cosied sensibility. But this winter season, we're all for that French White-On-White.
