I can see the places that we used to go to now

Hello again!

After getting back from Sydney, I had a pretty relaxing week and went on a few day trips while I still had some time off work.


Every once in a while, my mum and I love visiting Geelong, a port city right next to the beach. I have really happy childhood memories with my sister, cousins and best friend having the time of our lives in Geelong, so it's always nice to go back.

We stopped off at the Geelong Vintage Market, had a look around and shared a delicious avocado bruschetta. 


Ted Whitten: Footscray's football captain. I took this photo to show my dad, he's a big Bulldogs supporter!

I loved this squirrel salt and pepper figurine!




We had a good look around, but didn't buy anything. Window shopping can be fun too! 

I'd been looking for some Summer clothes to wear at work but couldn't find anything I really liked. With clothes that I wear at work, I like to stay true to my vintage style but still look somewhat professional as a teacher. For some reason, summer vintage fashion completely baffles me. I feel lost without my layers of scarves, boots, tights and coats. 

Wearing:
My Stevie Nicks top and coin necklace - $5 market finds.
Jeans and shoes - retail.
Whiting and Davis snake bangle - eBay. I've been wanting one of these for years but couldn't justify the expensive prices, so I eagerly bought this one when I saw it was considerably cheaper.



What vintage summer styles do you like?

 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...
