Thunderstruck

Hello! How was your weekend?


On Friday night, I had not one, but two birthday parties to go to- my twin cousins' 21st and a family friend's 18th! It was all too much for an introvert like me. Nevertheless, it was nice to see some relatives, family friends and have a fun time dancing. On Saturday, we went to visit the twins and their family for a barbeque, it's nice to catch up once in a while as we don't see each other too often.


It was too rainy to go the market on  Sunday, and we were too tired from all the socialising! It was good to get a sleep in. In the afternoon, when picking my sister up from a theatre rehearsal, my mum and I popped into Savers, an op-shop.



I was beyond excited to find this DVD! My family and I absolutely love this 2004 film. It's about these five guys who have the best night of their lives at an AC/DC concert. After a near-death experience, they  promise each other that when any one of them dies, they are to be buried next to the grave of their idol, AC/DC lead singer Bon Scott. When one of them dies, the four friends go on a hilarious road trip to keep their promise. I can't express how funny the film is, it's such a great Australian movie. My sister and I literally did a happy dance when I showed her my find!


I also purchased two dresses. The blue floral maxi was made in Turkey! I love all things made in Turkey, after finding these embroidered boots in a Turkish shop years ago seen here and here. They make the best things over there! My mum also spotted this emerald green shift dress for me. Mini-dresses and shifts always remind me of Jeannie from I Dream of Jeannie.

    I love your Mum's dress on you, it's a beauty.
    Your new (to you!) dress looks lovely. A lot of modern clothes are made in Turkey - the markets there are brilliant for bargains. xxx

      Ooo I didn't know that. I don't tend to see much Turkish made shoes or clothes in Australia so I get excited when I find something. Xxx

 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. Luckily we sat under a t

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

  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 absolutely amazing. Even though I wasn't familiar with th
