WIWT: New Zealand City Mouse, Country House

Last weekend, for the holiday weekend (Queen's birthday), we visited my mother & father-in-law! They live in the New Zealand country side about 2 hours away from the city. If you're a fan of Lord Of The Rings, this little town that we're in is actually where the Hobbiton scenes were filmed. :)

"New Zealand like Lord of the Rings" Well in this case, yes! There's even a big sign that says, "Welcome to Hobbiton." This town is busy once again, stay tuned for more Tolkien Hollywood remakes.

I wanted to wear something kind of "country." I like to think of this dress as my Amelie dress, which isn't that country! But I changed it up with my boots, that I typically would not wear with this dress.

There are horses across the road, perhaps next time, we can get a closer look!
My father-in-law was once a famous jockey in the 1960s! Correction: He was once in the Guinness World of Records for horse racing.

  1. Oooh, cute idea to take photos in this dress in front of the lemon(?) tree. They look really cool! I like the dress's square neckline too.
