Armani is designing what?

How cool is it that Giorgio Armani has been enlisted by Lady Gaga to design her outfit pieces for her Asia tour? I am very keen to see the end results and the reception of the outfits.

The blogging world is so exciting and full of inspiration and creativity.

So in the spirit of all things creativity, here's a little quote to enjoy.

What's cooking? Nutella Hot Chocolate.

After searching for the perfect hot chocolate recipe for quite some time I found one that is perfect because it takes about 5 minutes and is satisfying. As the weather is getting cooler I need a hot drink to sip whilst cuddled up in a blanket, basking in the warmth of the heater.

Serves: 1

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 tbsp Nutella
• 2 tsp white or brown sugar
• 1 pinch salt
• 1/5 cup boiling water
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Cocoa powder to serve
• Whipped Cream to serve
• Cinnamon stick (optional) 

Directions

1. In a saucepan on medium-heat add Nutella, salt and sugar.
2. Whisk together while adding in the water slowely.
3. Stir and simmer, be careful that the Nutella doesn't burn!
4. Pour in the milk and stir on low-heat, make sure it doesn't boil.
5. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. 
6. Pour into your glass or mug.
7. Swirl on the desired amount of whipped cream on top and dust on cocoa powder.
8. Poke the cinnamon stick into the cream and serve. Watch your tongue though as it is going to be hot!

Autumn has arrived.

So here in the southern hemisphere Autumn has come which means goodbye to all my bright colors, flirty dresses and denim shorts and hello to beautiful woolly jumpers, cashmere scarves and cute boots!
For me, Autumn is my favorite season - the season of change. I'm looking forward to seeing the various tree color foliage and fallen leaves.
I remember when I was younger I would take the longest time gathering up leaves into the neatest pile in our backyard only to jump into them and recreate the mess!
Anyways, fashion wise I am on a lookout for a double-breasted woolen coat, a trench coat plus some autumn colored scarves! I already have one waiting for me in my closet.
Here are some coats that I've found online and would love to share!

Where to buy;

New Beginnings.

Hi! My name is Nicki and I am 15 years old living in New Zealand.
I love all things related to travel, art, fashion and food.
This blog will be my creative outlet where I can share the things that inspire me most or to hopefully put a smile on your face.

To kick things off lets start with a 5 things post.

I have seen many bloggers post these and so here we go!

1. The song 'Dancing in the Moonlight' - Toploaders cover. It has the ability to lift me up no matter what my mood is.

2. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen has to be read for English by next week!

3. Cute little flower hair accessories to spruce up a simple outfit.

4. A bowl of feijoas to satisfy my cravings.

5. A skinny teal belt with a gold buckle. I will probably wear it with a white chiffon dress.

Have a wonderful day.
