Always in a hurry, never stop to worry

The weekend has escaped me again! After last weekend's Mexican themed party and day trip to St Kilda Beach, I spent Saturday finishing off my students' reports and getting stuck into a book called Exile on Main St by Robert Greenfield. It's about the making of the Rolling Stones' album of the same name. I'm a big Rolling Stones fan and have read many of their books. It contains some interesting anecdotes and is written in a narrative style, so I take some parts with a grain of salt. The author does make an effort to mention other people's version of events and sometimes discredits them.

This morning, my mum and I headed off to the market.

My finds:

A navy velvet skirt,

Almost Famous DVD (I love this movie!)

Snakeskin boots (to add to the collection)

Linda McCartney vegetarian cookbook (I've got 4 of her books now)

And all for $16!

Later in the afternoon, I helped out with a big school fair that raised money for the school I work at. I was assigned to selling ride tickets. It was boiling hot, but I still had a great day seeing the local community and chatting to some parents and teachers. I found some things at the secondhand stall including some vintage plates for my mum and I, and an Aloe Vera plant for my sister. 

I forgot to take outfit photos when I got home, so here are some photos from a little while ago, back when there were still oranges on the tree.

I love this Afghan coat. I found it in an opshop on a drive to New South Wales years ago, and it only cost me $4! It's my absolute favourite coat, I've worn it countless times. Last year, I found this vintage woolen skirt in New South Wales. Even the red turtleneck is second hand and I made the necklace myself.

 Before we know it, another week will fly by and I'll be seeing you in a new blog post next Monday. Have a great week!
