Here we stand or here we fall, history don't care at all

Hello!


I've had a weekend full of planning for the last few weeks of school and watching movies. On Saturday night, I started to watch Schindler's List, which I've seen one or two times before.

I'd been reminded of the film as my mum had been watching a short documentary on director Steven Spielberg earlier in the week. Schindler's List is such a sad movie, I'm sure I'll cry my way through it when I get a chance to watch the rest of it (it's quite a long movie).

My sister won two free movie tickets again  (she's the queen of it!), so on Sunday, I went to watch Bohemian Rhapsody again. My dad is a fan of Queen and hadn't seen the film yet, so we went together.

There weren't as many people watching it as the first time I went, so the audience's reactions and laughter weren't quite the same. At times, my dad was scratching his head (which he sometimes does when he's thinking critically about something), so I thought he wasn't really enjoying the film. Turns out he actually did, and he was singing along at the end of it!

I enjoyed the film just as much as I did the last time and had the same surreal feeling, like I was really there at the concerts!


I wanted to wear something fab to the movie so I based my whole outfit around these snake print boots. My vintage bag was made in Italy and it felt perfectly in place when we later had lunch at Italian restaurant Brunetti, which is conveniently right next to the cinema.



I love these plastic bracelets. I bought the bottom one just last week.


The denim overalls were nice and comfortable. I bought them at a market last year, and luckily they fit perfectly. It was a bit of a risk buying them - there's no changing room at markets!


How was your weekend? 



Title: Hammer to Fall by Queen.

    Your dungarees are great, a fabulous fit and the zip at the back adds some extra pzazz! I love the handle on your bag and the snakeskin boots are lovely.
    I don't think i could watch Schindler's List again, a stunning film but so harrowing. The normally lovely Ralph Fiennes was just pure evil.
    Have you seen Life is Beautiful? I'm sure you'd enjoy it. xxx

      Thanks Vix!
      There's nothing like some real tragedy to put your own worries into perspective, that's exactly how I felt watching Schindler's List.
      I think I watched a bit of Life is Beautuful a few years ago but don't remember it too well. X

    Ooh, those overalls look fabulous on you! I adore the snakeskin boots and don't they look awesome with the bag?? So cute. I really want to see the Queen movie!

      Hi Shiela, thanks, I like the combination of the boots, bag and overalls too.
      Do give it a watch whenever you get a chance. X

 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...

  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...
