Day Tripper


It was my birthday on Sunday and I had a lovely weekend celebrating it. On Saturday, my family and I went to a beautiful country town called Daylesford. I've been there countless times, it's my happy place.


Whenever we visit Daylesford, we always stop off first to get a big tub of honey.  I use it in a hot drink everyday, so I go through it really quickly. I love the honey from Daylesford, there's so many varieties and they let you taste test it too!



I love going to the Daylesford Mills Market as well. There's heaps of stalls, with lots of used and vintage items. I found two records and a fab purple velvet jacket. I can't wait to wear it! My family kindly bought my finds for me as a birthday treat.


As much as I love the market in Daylesford, I also love being surrounded by the nature there. It makes me feel genuinely peaceful.



We had a stroll around the Daylesford lake and collected some mineral water from the springs.



Later we stopped off at Lake Jubilee, it's so beautiful there. 



My sister and I walked around and admired the peacocks. 
They're so big and colourful, they're feathers have so many different patterns. At one point, a peacock leaped in our direction and I squealed, much to the amusement of my sister! They're beautiful and all, but I don't want to be so close to such a large bird!

 

I had a wonderful day of vintage treasure hunting and strolling around lakes, that's my ideal way to celebrate my birthday. I'm so rock 'n' roll, aren't I?!

Tomorrow, I'll write more about what I got up to on Sunday.
See you then.

  A little while ago, my mum, sister and I had lunch at one of our favourite places in the city, Conservatory. It's an all you can eat restaurant with a wide variety of food. Mostly I dream of the seafood and I was SO excited to go. I love the lighted ceiling and marble staircase that greets you on the way in. I wore my new-to-me cream midi dress with cute puffy sleeves that I recently bought at a market for $7. I wasn't sure if the colour would suit me, but I like how it looks with the coral necklace. Ready to eat! The oysters were so delicious and my absolute favourite! My mum took a sneaky photo of my sister and I chatting.  See you next time, Conservatory! Although we always leave feeling so full and we swear we'll never return again! To end this post, I'll share some more recent photos... My sister and I enjoyed having a sister night, watching the Barbie movie and eating burgers at Grill'd. Yum - my favourite! I had to wear pink of course! Have you seen the mov

She's the lady who wears those flashing eyes

    Recently, I've been loving the colour pink. I think it may be because I've been seeing so many reels of cute, pink kitchens on Instagram or perhaps it's because I've been adoring my pink, strawberry jug I shared on my blog recently . Regardless, I've never really paid much attention to the colour pink until recently. I was determined to find a pink dress and luckily I didn't have to look far because I found this pink and red dress at the next opshop I visited, Savers. A bit pricey for opshops ($15.80), but I was happy to purchase this dress because it's beautiful and Sportsgirl sell their dresses for $80+ in their stores.     I had to take my new-to-me dress out for a twirl on a day out to Daylesford with my mum. She wanted to visit the lavender farm again whilst the purple delights were still in bloom.           The scent of lavendar was wonderful. I keep a bag of dried lavender by my bed, it's supposed to help you fall asleep.   We took some natu

Beach baby, beach baby, give me your hand

A day by the beach, what could be better? One sunny day on my work holidays, my mum and I visited Geelong beach. First we popped into the Vintage Mills Market. Looks at these vintage treasures... Next we strolled by the beach.  Passing the  carousal , we couldn't resist having some childlike fun. The Carousel's website says: " The Armitage-Herschell portable steam driven, hand-carved wooden carousel was constructed circa 1892 and is one of only 200 in operation around the world.   Featuring 36 Dare horses and 2 chariots, it was purchased by the Steampacket Place Development Board in 1996 and painstakingly restored." The view from the carosaul centre is beautiful. For lunch, we ate at a lovely restaurant by the beach called Fisherman's Pier. We love returning to enjoy the seafood linguini - delicious!  The four beach ladies waved us goodbye as we made our way back to our car. Goodbye beach, it was nice seeing you!
