And I Think Of All The Things



I can't believe I last posted on Monday, it feels like weeks! I wrote about finding this Australian-made striped jacket and promptly wore it.



So what have I been up to this week?

I've been ...

- Crocheting - it's so relaxing and I like feeling creative when I produce something.


- Watching an Amy Winehouse concert at the Shepherd's Bush Empire. It was her 7 year anniversary since her passing this week.

- Listening to John Lennon and Yoko Ono's Double Fantasy for the first time.




- Reading Marianne Faithfull's book Memories, Dreams and Reflections. I enjoyed her autobiography better, I seem to be stuck in the middle of this book and I'm finding it hard to get through it.

I wrote about wanting to watch some Bette Davis movies after watching Feud: Bette and Joan, and I've since watched Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? (such a nerve-racking thriller) and The Bride Came C.O.D

Whatever Happened To Baby Jane?

The Bride Came C.O.D 

- Looking forward to seeing the Blood Moon tomorrow morning. I'm also eager to enjoy some sunshine on Saturday and hopefully go for a good ol' bike ride.

How has your week been?

    Ahh that reminds me, I have a crocheting project that I really need to finish working on! I am hoping to see the moon as well, but it is supposed to be a bit rainy so I might not be able to. Hope you have a lovely weekend!

      Thank you! Crotcheting is great, isn't it! I missed the moon, I can't believe it, I think it was hidden
      behind clouds. Xxx

    That jacket looks fab! No moon here, far too cloudy sadly.
    I loved Amy, we saw her play live three times. xxx

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 and grandparents, 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 probably over 1...

 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...

Kiss me goodbye, defying gravity

 Some things that have been giving me joy lately... 1. This cute ladybird that landed on my hand. Thanks for the good luck, ladybird! 2. A delicious dinner my sister cooked. 3. Some flowers I bought for myself. They were on special for $8 and I couldn't resist. The colours were bright and made me smile. 4. These fresh cherries picked on one of my walks around the neighbourhood. I was thrilled to spot a cherry tree growing on a nature strip! 5. Speaking of cherries, my sister surprised my family and I with this delicious cherry pie! It's inspired me to make my own cherry pie one day! 6. Cherry red nails to match the ongoing cherry theme (of course)! 7. Last but not least, going to the movies to watch Wicked . My sister and I kindly received LUX movie tickets for Christmas from my Chico last year and we finally used them to watch the musical Wicked . I absolutely love the Wizard of Oz (as you may have noticed here and here ), but wasn't sure if I'd like the Wicked movie....
