Hello my dear readers, hope this post finds you well.
Although there is still a week and a bit until we farewell 2023, this is my last post of this year so let's sum it up.
I can't speak on behalf of you, but for me it went too fast for my liking. I heard people saying it all the time but this year I really feel it and frankly, I don't like it. But I should not complain even despite the fact that I had two more cancer spots on my face that needed to be removed, the one on my nose that I had in August was particularly problematic and still has not fully healed.
The biggest event that happened this year was my husband's 70th birthday that we celebrated in style by having 7 course seasonal festive dinner at Oncore run by 3-Michelin Star London renowned chef Clair Smyth followed by a big bash for our extended family and friends.
Also, this year we made our first overseas trip since 2019. However, while in the past we would spent four to five weeks visiting several overseas destinations, this time it was just one stop trip to Bali, our all time favourite spot that we go to for a blissful time of total relaxation.
Other then that, it was business as usual: work, looking after grandchildren, going to the gym, movies, theatre, dining out etc, etc, etc.
So without further ado, let me bring up my and some of you, my dear readers, most favourite outfits of 2023:
This summer it was all about wearing a stripe shirt over white linen and this outfit was featured as the most favourite look on #WOWWEDNESDAY link-up party hosted by Gail from Is This Mutton fashion blogI dare not to remember how many years these square checked pants have been dormant in my wardrobe until one day I decided to bring them back to life and believe or not but they scored the most favourite look of the week on #WOWWEDNEDAY link-up party hosted by Gail from Is This Mutton fashion blog.
I fell in love with this oversized jumper from Reiss in tangerine colour that featured as a favorite on #WOWWEDNESDAY link-up party hosted by Gail from Is This Mutton fashion blog
One of my most favourite purchases of 2023 was this dress from Marcs in deep pink colour that was featured on #ChickandStylish #Link-up hosted by Jacquie from Mummabstylish
See you all in 2024
