You can sail with me in my yellow submarine

Hello!


I wore this purple velvet dress to my aunty Zora's 50th birthday a few weeks ago.

We celebrated at a restaurant where you could choose what you wanted to eat at a buffet full of food. I loved the prawns and seafood. Later, everyone went back to my aunty's house and it was nice to catch up with some of my cousins.


I bought this velvet dress at a local op-shop a year or two ago. I'm joining Vix in the #stylingnotshopping and #shoppingfromthewardrobe campaign to show that you you don't have to buy an endless amount of new clothes to have style. Buying second hand and shopping from your own wardrobe is actually really fun! Feel free to join in with this campaign, if you like.

I've admired Whiting and Davis snake necklaces for years ever since seeing these 1960s pictures of them.

Whenever there's a special occasion, whether it be a birthday, wedding or concert, I love to pull out this snake necklace and wear it!


I even wore it when my mum and I went to Paul McCartney's concerts last year. We saw him twice - I'm a big fan. 




As Keith Richards proclaimed, "if it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing".

See you in a new post next Monday!

Yes, I know I'm late to the party, but I only bought Oasis' first album a few weeks ago and am enamoured with it. I always love discovering a new (to me) band!

    I'm so pleased that you've joined in. I know that, like me, you're a secondhand shopper but by linking up to Veshoevius we might be able to convert a few non-vintage wearers.
    Love that snake necklace, my Mum was well known for her collection of snake jewellery. I can't get over how alike you and your mum are, I can see where you got your fabulous sense of style. xxx

      Thanks Vix!
      I love snake jewellery! Rings, bangles, necklaces! Did you keep your mum's collection?
      My mum's gorgeous, isn't she? I'll have to pass on the compliments to her. 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!
