Now it's gone, it doesn't matter what for



The other day, I wore this outfit to work.
I always feel a bit like I'm channeling Stevie Nicks when I wear this shirt.

The sleeves are enormous! 
I just had to pose dramatically to show them off!




I also wore my new-to-me Italian made clogs, which you may have spotted in this post. 




Being part Italian myself, I love finding items made in Italy. 
Growing up, I remember my mum and nonna telling me that most things that were made in Italy are of really good quality. So now every time I buy something made in Italy, I love to show it to my nonna. So far I've been able to show her an Italian-made bangle and bag that I bought from a market, and I'm eager to show her my clogs too.




As much as I love the look of them, I have to admit, they aren't the most comfortable shoes in the world. When I saw fellow vintage collector Candice wearing a pair of tan clogs, I asked her if hers are uncomfortable too. She agreed that both her modern and vintage clogs are uncomfortable, perhaps because the sole cannot be bent.




Nevertheless, I love my clogs and will just have to wear them on days when I know I won't be walking too much.


What's been your experience with clogs?
Do you have anything that you love despite their level of comfort?

    What a pretty top, it looks lovely on you.
    I love finding anything that was made in Europe, we produce so little these days you can almost guarantee its vintage!
    I've got Lotta of Stockholm clogs and they are incredible. I walked around Corfu in them for a week and never got a single blister. They aren't the cheapest but they are the best! x

 Where do you buy your clothing from? Opshops? Online shops? Retail stores? For a while, I hadn't been buying much clothing as my wardrobe is absolutely full! From time to time, I sell pieces from my wardrobe on eBay to slowly thin out my collection. Although recently I fell into an eBay rabbit hole and have purchased quite a few nice dresses.  I bought this  Tree Of Life  dress on eBay after admiring the exact same one my mum has. I tried on her dress, so knew which size to buy. It popped up immediately when I looked it up online, and for less than $30 including postage, it was mine ! Leopard is always fabulous, I think. I enjoyed wearing it for a get-together with family friends at my uncle Arthur's house a little while ago. This cotton, brown and cream kaftan was also from Tree of Life. I wore it recently when going to see Simple Minds play at the Red Hot Summer Tour. And boy was it hot, at 35 °C     we were so sweaty, people were fainting around us...

After 11 weeks of term 2, preparing reports and completing parent-teacher interviews, I farewelled my grade 2 students, and began my two weeks of holidays. I was looking forward to spending time with my family, grandparents and boyfriend, as well as squeezing in some day trips. My mum and I returned to our favourite place, Daylesford. It was a cold, winter's day so we rugged up in big coats which kept us surprisingly toasty. I wore my tartan coat that I recently bought at a market. I had been looking for a big, long coat for some time as well as watching Gilmore Girls and admiring all of the beautiful coats worn on the show. So when I found this brand new coat, I was happy to hand over my $25. At Daylesford, we first roamed the Vintage Mills Market. It's always fun to have a look at the unique items. I found a vintage, leopard coat. It was a bit pricey, so I thought about it for some time and then decided to buy it as it was a dream item that I have been searching for, for prob...

Because I knew you, I have been changed for good

  Last Thursday night, my mum, sister and I went to see Wicked: The Musical in the city!  We quickly dressed and rushed there after work and made it just in the nick of time before the 7pm start. We marvelled at the ceiling and Romeo and Juliet style balcony. I even spotted a handful of Australian TV personalities, walking through a roped off area, which is something I've never seen here in Melbourne. Usually, we all just walk through the same entrance!  I absolutely love  The Wizard of Oz  as you may have noticed  here  and  here  and quite enjoyed Wicked The Musical, with its perspective of two witches Elphaba and Glinda from the Land of Oz. The set was wonderful, with references to the Land of Oz such as the Emerald City, cornfield and a field of poppies. It was lovely to see so many beautifully dressed audience members, with many of them wearing the colour emerald. I loved the enchanting costumes and the singing was absolu...
