Everything I had to know, I heard it on my radio

Yesterday, my mum, sister and I went to the cinemas to watch Bohemian Rhapsody. I rarely go to the movie but I've been looking forward to watching this movie for months. I'm a big queen fan, I collect their records and went to their concerts the last two times they came to Australia, so I was keen.

 I can't wait to watch it again, that's how much I absolutely LOVED the movie. There were only a few moments where I stopped and wondered Is this part really historically accurate? and Did they really feel that way? Overall, I appreciated it for what it is - a great movie about an amazing band!

 There were moments where I totally forgot they were actors and felt like I was watching the real thing. Perhaps it was because the actors who played Freddie Mercury, Brian May and John Deacon looked so much like the real band members. When there were segments of concerts, I felt like I was there and had to stop myself from breaking into applause after each song. It was the strangest feeling!

And let me tell you about the fashion! I loved it! The clothes in the first half of the film was fantastic because it was set in the seventies. There were fabulous fluffy jackets, patterned shirts and satin garments galore! 



Coincidentally, I wore this satin dress to work last Thursday, the day after Halloween. We don't decorate our house for Halloween but my mum picked up this pumpkin decoration for $1 at the market about a month ago. Since the pumpkin perfectly matched my orange dress, I decided to include it it the outfit photos. When it comes to Halloween, that's the most you can expect from me, (although it would be fun to dress up one day). 

Today's the last day of my four day weekend, so I'm back to work again tomorrow. 


How was your weekend?
Have you seen Bohemian Rhapsody?

    What a gorgeous dress, Jess! It's a great cut, and stunning colour on you. I like the pumpkin accessory too!

    I want to see "Bohemian Rhapsody" - I'm a huge Queen fan, going back to the early 80s. I can't wait to check out the fashion!

    I haven't watched this movie yet as honestly I'm a little nervous too as Queen are a band that mean a lot to me! I feel like I'll just be picking it apart and getting offended on Freddie's behalf and I've read an awful lot of mixed reviews, but I'd definitely like to see it anyway and see what the fuss is about. Roger and Brian were involved in the making so I figure it can't be too inaccurate :)

      Hope you enjoy it, Sydney. You may pick it apart at times, but I think it's worth enjoying. Xxx

    Love the orange dress you on, Jess! it's a great fit and such a cool colour.
    I'm sorry but I really don't like Queen, my brother used to play them all the time when we were growing up and I just didn't get the appeal, far too operatic for me. The film seems to be getting good reviews although a lot of my vintage friends who've seen it say there's wild inaccuracies in the costumes and that Biba wasn't a little suburban shop like it was portrayed in the film. xxx

      Thanks Vix, I love this dress too!
      I wasn't scruitinising the film so closely, just enjoying it. The scene with Biba was pretty short, it looked like a small shop with limited lighting and heaps of fab clothing. I wasn't around for the real thing in the 60s but I wish I had been! (What was it really like?) 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!
