About a week ago we went to our favourite (now not so much) restaurant for my baby's second birthday which gave me a chance to wear my new Steve Madden heels after finding out my original footwear choice didn't exactly fit too well. Damn flats are definitely NOT a size 11. My friggen toes were hanging over the edge, forcing me to pass them onto my sized 10 sister whom they fit perfectly. Thank you for not knowing true footwear sizes, Steve Madden. It was a pleasure losing my money to you. The heels on the other hand fit well and went together better with the abaya I had on. Double animal print will do that.

I wore these very high babies all the way from the car to the restaurant - a grand total of five metres. I was being cautious because of the pregnancy, but even on a non-pregnant night I would only limit heels to sit-down events like dinners because my feet + heels = short time love affair. Besides the fact that I walk like a truck driver in them, I can't handle wearing them for too long.
The restaurant had a major makeover since the last time I had been there and it looked amazingly pretty. I was excited for the food, considering the new owners had really done up the place. I was impressed with the look of the food but the taste was on the bland-to-crap scale.

I miss the old shabby looking restaurant with a food heart of gold. Their Thai curries were so delicious and creamy every single time. I never walked away disappointed. Alas, the new owners/chef delivered some shockingly watery dishes that either tasted like sprinkled-on curry powder or were just generally not impressive. Such a shame because that place was my favourite restaurant in all of Perth (and halal too!). Not worth going back to.

This is what the old owners use to serve up. Dear Lord I will miss it. Sad face. Moving on...

I got this Effa jersey abaya from 3abaya.com quite a while ago but never got around to posting pics on the blog, mainly due to my own laziness. It's silky smooth and soft with a luxurious feel about it. A whole abaya made out of jersey made me question if all my lumps and bumps were going to show through in extreme detail like a cheaper jersey will do, but this one didn't because of the high quality.
Speaking of bumps... I've got three weeks to go on this pregnancy. How did time go so fast? Time is ticking but I'm pretty calm about this one. My first pregnancy was so daunting and scary (as is most first time experiences) but I feel by the second, most women are like "meh... whatever" and know what's in store.

The abaya is open from the front, held together with a few snap buttons. Obviously designed to be worn with pants/dress underneath.

The box that 3abaya.com sent the Effa package in. Fancy. Delicious looking. Exquisite. Even the tissue paper was pretty with their printed Arabic gold logo stamped all over it. So professional.

Hands down THE classiest packaging I have ever seen from any company. I'd still have it too if my hubby didn't throw it out. I know it was just a box but it was one I wanted to keep because of how pretty it was. Sadness :(
I have been sent a piece directly from Effa before - check out their jalabiya I was sent to review for them a while ago here in this older post. Beware - get ready for a colour burst of patterned purple and beading if viewing!
