Turn the people round




I love Winter and all, but I have to say, I'm glad it's now Spring in Australia. Waking up to more sunshine makes my heart happy. Literally, my heart feels content. Has anyone else ever had that feeling before?


On Saturday, I looked at a planting guide that I have up on the fridge and realised that September's the perfect time to plant a lot of the seeds I collected last year. I was thrilled to plant my pumpkin, tomato and basil seeds, as well as some of my Dedo's long pepper seeds. My broad beans, kale and sunflower plants are already growing so well, I love growing plants I can eat. 


This is the first time I've grown sunflowers and I'm really excited. The look of them just makes me happy. No doubt, my love for sunflowers probably began with 'Individuals', one of my favourite Sunnyboys records which has a sunflower field on the front cover. Sunflowers also feature in some of their artwork.

I got this poster at the first Sunnyboys concert I went to. It was in a really gorgeous theatre. I loved it.



I am still stuck into watch Sons of Anarchy, but I did manage to pull myself away to read and go to a local Savers op-shop where I found this satin shirt. 

I do live a good satin shirt! They conjure up images of the sixties in my mind! (This one needs a wash and iron!)


At the market on Sunday, I found a coin choker and some bangles, for a few dollars each.

More snake jewellery to add to my small collection! I last wore my vintage snake necklace here.

Outfit details: Everything is second hand or vintage, from a market
(except the top orange bakelite bangle, which I found in a Sunbury opshop!)


See you soon!

    What a lovely shape that denim midi is, a great find.
    Not a fan of winter at all, I'm much happier when the nights get lighter and you can leave the house without being swathed in layers.
    The coin necklace is fab as are those snake bangles.
    I've never heard of Sunnyboys, I've just googled them and it doesn't ring any bells at all. xxx

      Thanks Vix.
      The Sunnyboys are a great band, mostly known in Australia in the eighties, I think. They're worth listening to. Xxx

  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!
