I've got weekend on my mind... two more days...
I was sporting a new reddish lip combo.
The colour is actually a mix of two lipsticks, my BYS lipstick in Red Hot, and my NYX lipstick in Fig over the top of it as I felt that the red alone was a bit too dark for my liking... both colours were swatched previously here.
L/R: BYS Red Hot, NYX Fig |
Back to the markets... did I mention they sell food? Now I love street food! Something happens to me when I'm at the markets and I spy food items sold at little make-shift tables or stalls. Even if I'm not hungry I'll start craving whatever weird and wonderful thing is being sold.
This is me, going crazy as I had just spied one of my favourite market food items!
And the yummy goodies I'd spied? Poffertjes! These are Dutch mini pancakes which I loooveee. I normally have them with icing sugar and strawberries, but served with chocolate sauce and ice cream is also popular here.
Anyway after gorging on way too much food, which included ricotta cannolis (yummm), we walked around the markets where I spied and duly purchased this gorgeous red and black metal necklace.
... which I wore straight away because I it matched my lipstick!
Overall a very fun evening out indeed... now if you're in Sydney and haven't been to the Rocks markets yet, what are you waiting for? It's so much fun!
Do you like markets? And what are your plans for the upcoming weekend?
What a great day you had! I love the markets, its so nice when you find unique stuff. I love spanish donuts that they sell here at the Victoria market! Love your necklace, definitely looks great with your lipstick.
ReplyDeleteLove your concoction- it's a gorgeous colour that looks great on you.
ReplyDeleteI find myself doing a lot of lipstick mixing as well when I'm not happy with a colour..
I miss the Rocks Markets :(

@Dannii - oh I love churros (that's what you're talking about right?), especially ones dipped in dulce de leche, yummm... Can't wait till I'm down in Melbourne next, i love the victoria markets there.
ReplyDelete@Jen - yeah I'm always mixing colours (well if I have the time anyways), and it makes them last longer too. PS the night markets are on till end Feb so you still have time to go.

ReplyDelete@Imo - finally you tried macaroons! How delish are they huh? And I'm yet to visit London and the famous portobello markets.
@Sandra - I'll keep a lookout for similar necklaces for you and I'm happy to get it for you.
