Pressure pushing down on me, pressing down on you

Hello!

I've had the strangest feeling all day. I've been feeling so moody, like I could burst into tears at any second. Little things have been bugging me and it's all a bit bewildering to me. 

Of course, you wouldn't be able to tell by these pictures I took last week. The red dress is so cheery, can you believe I found it at a market when it was still selling in an Australian store called Valleygirl?


I haven't been up to much this weekend, other than doing some work in preparation for parent teacher interviews and spending time with my family and cousins. 

This morning, my dad, Dedo and I went to visit the cemetery as my Baba's two year anniversary is coming up. Afterwards we hung out in my Dedo's garden, picked some of his homegrown cucumbers and were delighted by a bird nest that's in his grape plant - it has three small blue eggs inside!


 In the afternoon, I went with my mum and dad to the city to buy some Christmas presents for my mum. The Christmas windows are still up and there's a whole level of Christmas decorations and food in Myer! 


On the way home, we popped into the supermarket and I bumped into my best friend and I was so happy to see her, I instantly cheered up.

Dress and belt: market finds.

I've got a lot to look forward to... 
Christmas (I think I'll wear this red dress for it!)
My sister's birthday. 
Finishing work for the year at the end of the week. 
Catching up with friends.


What are you looking forward to, now that 2018 is coming to an end?

    This is a super dress - it looks lovely on you and will be perfect for Christmas. I've been feeling hormonal this week too: tired, stressed and a bit down. Hang in there, hon, it will pass.

    That dress is lovely, the shape and colour are perfect for you. A super find.
    I loathe this time of year - I'm no fan of Xmas and the rampant commercialism and greed drive me to distraction. I'll be fine after 25th December just as you'll be fine on another day. xxx

      Personally, I like Christmas, all the end of year stresses and tiredness just caught up to me. I'm feeling much more positive now!
      Hope you have a good Christmas this year. 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. Luckily we sat under a t

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 absolutely amazing. Even though I wasn't familiar with th
