With a bit of rock music, everything is fine

Hello!
Or should I say hej - the Swedish way to say 'hello'!
This blog post is ABBA themed as I recently watched Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again. 

I didn't get to see it in the cinemas, so I requested the DVD from my local library. So many people requested it before me, so I had to wait awhile. My nonna watched the film when she was on a boat cruise holiday. She loved it and told me all about it on the phone, so I wanted to watch it.

I love my local library because I enjoy reading and there's a really lovely lady who works named Maria, who's been working at the library since I was really little. She's really nice and always up for a chat.

I borrowed the DVD and my mum, sister and I watched it. What can I say? It's great and evokes the same joy as the first movie did. Sometimes it's a bit daggy (!) but I didn't mind because I love ABBA's songs and the seventies style was fantasically flamboyant! 

 I had my eye on some of the crazy, metallic platform boots.

 Cher appears towards the end of the film and absolutely MAKES the movie! I enjoyed her performance of 'Fernando.'

I even cried near the end of the film! Thank goodness the cast burst out into a vibrant 'Super Trouper'. As soon as the movie finished, I declared 'I loved it!'
Outfit details:
Mod style Dangerfield dress (recently sold it through my eBay store) - $5 market find. 
Tan clogs - I live in them during Summer.
I'm ready to pull out all of my ABBA records and listen to them.
Have you seen the movie? 

 See you in a new blog post on Monday.

    That dress is very sweet on you, I'm amazed that you decided to sell it!
    Loved Abba's style back when I was a kid (and a couple of their songs) but didn't enjoy Mamma Mia when I saw it on the plane when it came out so haven't seen the sequel.
    Did love Muriel's Wedding, though! xxx

      Thanks, Vix! Some of ABBA's style was really fab and over the top- I love it! I haven't watched Muriel's Wedding yet, can you believe it? X

    This is a lovely dress - you look very pretty in it. You sold it? Aw!

    I'm not expecting much from the sequel to Mama Mia! It was a silly movie, but I enjoyed it (I also saw it on Broadway in NYC!).

      I know, sometimes I have seller's regret and I do wish I had've kept this dress, but I can't keep everything forever. I'm a collector and I run out of space! X

  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!
