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?

  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!
