Arum Lilies

As if you couldn't guess, Arum lilies are my absolute favourite flowers and when I found a bunch of them at the florist on Friday, couldn't help but make a bee-line for them.  I thought I would take advantage of the beautiful jacaranda trees lining my street to complement my favourite flower. The Jacaranda trees are all in full bloom at the moment and the streets are carpeted in lilac.  It's so beautiful!  The flowers also inspired me to wear a classic outfit paired with a red lip to keep the emphasis on the natural beauty around me.

What's your favourite flower?

Spring Outfit

Mr Price shirt, sweater and skirt | Blackcherry bag | Linx shoes via Zando | Topshop sunnies

I might be jumping the gun but I'm starting to plan outfits for spring and summer.  If you have me on Instagram (@arumlilea) you will have seen that I've definitely got the beach on my mind.  I can't wait for some fun in the sunshine with good friends.  Le bf and a very dear friend have planned to celebrate their birthdays at Jo'burg Day which will be our first spring celebration.  I can't wait!  I may have even bought a flower crown in anticipation.

To compliment the spring feeling I've been experiencing, I pulled out my favourite neon sweater and wore it with some very pale bare legs.  (Side note:  please excuse the bruises, I'm still mastering blood thinners.)  It may not be spring yet but with this colour I already feel one step closer.

Leather and Lace

Irina, Dimi and I spent the afternoon at the Saxon Hotel yesterday enjoying some time in the sun.  It was such a beautiful afternoon that we decided to snap a few outfit posts.  I combined my moto jacket with my favourite lace dress for the day.  Usually the lace would bring out the girly side to me and I would amplify that (see this post) but I was very happy with this juxtaposition.  What do you think?

Here's a midweek post for you today.  I'm considering making my hair a little lighter, what do you think?  Happy Wednesday!

Today's post comes to you from the airport.  I'm about to leave for America and I'm so excited.  Soon I'll be carving pumpkins for Halloween, visiting the Bay area in San Francisco, sipping wine in Napa Valley and lunching in  Los Angeles.  I'll be in transit for 30 hours but I'd say it's well worth it.

Do you have any trips planned?  I thought I'd share what I'm packing in my hand luggage so stop by tomorrow for some packing tips!

La post d'aujourd'hui viens à  vous à partir l'aeroport.  Je vais voyager en Amerique pour vacance.  Bientôt je serai découper de citrouilles, visiter le Bay Area à San Francisco, boire du vin à Napa Valley et déjeunais à Los Angeles.  Je me rendrai pour 30 heures mais il vaut le peine.

Demain je vais partager des conseils sur les bagages à main d'emballage.
