Cocktails in Orbit Lounge- Summit Restaurant

A friend and I decided to go out in the city one Friday night recently. We are over scrabbling for a seat at most bars, and wanted a more sophisticated setting, and my friend suggested the Orbit Lounge in Australia Square's Summit Restaurant... possibly the best view in Sydney, and they have an extensive cocktail list! Perfect!



I also couldn't help myself, and decided I needed this dessert as well- and I certainly wasn't disappointed!



I am wearing one of my favourite outfits at the moment... The Vesper Kimono and the White Russian Mini Skirt. Every time I wear this outfit, I feel so colourful and bright, and a little sexy- I love it! It always receives many comments... and you can imagine since my friend was wearing gorgeous vintage bright orange dress, we both stood out from the crowd (which is what I love)! Every one else looked very boring in their black suits!



The White Russian Mini Skirt will be added to the USD shop online very soon!

The Strawberry Daiquiri Polka Dot Blouse

As part of my new summer collection, the Strawberry Daiquiri Polka Dot Blouse is a brand new Penelope Red design. Handmade from a 100% polyester bright red and cream polka dot satin, and bright blue satin binding. I love this top, as it really is such a versatile style, and suits so many body shapes.

It usually suits women with a small or large bust, as the pleating flatters someone with a small bust, but also allows extra room for a large bust (around a DD can usually fit into it).



I have enough fabric to make around 8 of these. Even though it is a polyester material, the fabric is so soft, most people confuse it for silk. The blue stripe satin binding around the under bust seam creates a very flattering line, and I like the fact that is completely contrasting and unexpected!

An invisible zip is at the side. It is the same style as the Monet Pleated Blouse, just without the keyhole at the centre back (Monet version shown below)



This style is great to wear with jeans, wear with a cute mini skirt, wear with panst or a skirt. Such a versatile style, and great for many occasions. A cocktail setting, a bbq, a party, shopping with your girlfriends, wear it to work- the list goes on!
