The first of many...

Had the most fantastic long weekend at the beach, celebrating the first wedding anniversary with my husband. In February we will celebrate again, because it will be our 10th anniversary (of our first date). Two big milestones within a few months.

The weather was pretty dismal most of the time, but we made up for it in total relaxation - a massage package at the divine Noosa Spa, browsing around at Eumundi markets and lots of fine dining. Our favourite restaurant of the weekend was Season, recommended by the always-in-the-know Faux Fuchsia. We had dinner there and loved it so much that we went back for breakfast. Here is the view from our table:

It was a little chilly for us to succumb to the pool at our resort, but it did clear up to some beautiful weather this morning, just in time for us to take a dip in the ocean. As you can see, the water was very calm and we could just float about lazily, as was the theme of our weekend!

We took a lucky wrong turn on the way out to the highway and ended up stumbling upon a kite society gathering at a little beach near Coolum. We were so amazed at the sight of a huge lizard and stingray flying in the air that we followed them to their source. It was quite a spectacle and evoked feelings of childhood and giddy laughter. All in all, an envigorating experience.

I dressed in beachy style, with mix and match pieces in tones of navy, blue, olive and neutrals. I made good use of some new purchases, including some tees from the Country Road sale and my new necklace from Thousand Island Dressing, that seems to go with everything. I glammed it up a bit more for our special Anniversary dinner, in a Sretsis dress that my husband bought me for my last birthday. It has a diamond print, which seemed appropriate for the occasion.
