They say it's your birthday...

In my last post, I wrote about celebrating my birthday with a day trip to Daylesford. 
After a busy day out, I decided to relax a bit on Sunday, my actual birthday.


Not that I slept in or anything, my mum and I were up bright and early to head off to a market. Here's what I found:


Vintage glasses, leopard print jacket, purple skirt and purple velvet boots!


I've been looking for a fluffy leopard jacket for years and finally found one. 
I often see them at markets but they're always too big, too small, or in a bulky shape. 
I'm really happy with this jacket and can't wait to wear it.



When we got home, my sister decided to jump out from behind a door and greet scare me with a birthday surprise! I squealed no end! I also tried on my new-to-me vintage glasses. My sister thinks they're too big, but I love them!





I received some really nice messages and phone calls from my friends and family.
My Dedo (grandfather in Macedonian) came over for a visit and we ate some chocolate mousse (my favourite!) and later my Chico (uncle) came over for dinner. My mum and I made the chocolate mousse. She's Italian and knows all the best cooking secrets.




Later, I got to watch a movie that I've wanted to see for quite a while- Murder on the Orient Express. It was quite good, with gorgeous landscapes and 1930s clothing and all. Now I want to go off and read some Agatha Christie books! Afterwards, my mum and I started watching the show The Assassination of Gianni Versace.

It was a relaxed day of family, food, T.V and marveling over my market finds. 
How was your weekend?

    Many happy returns of the day. My son's birthday last month was nice as well. Hired one of the best event venue online at quite less prices. Best thing about catering and baking part was their timely supply. Tables were complete with high rated accessories. Shared the pictures on social media and captured so many likes with blessings.

  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!
