Here Comes the Sun(flowers)!

Hello, I'm back in the garden with my pot of sunflowers again!
 I just love them. Just looking at them makes me so happy. My mum never used to be fond of sunflowers and now she loves them too! I'm collection the seeds once the sunflowers die and I'm going to plant them again.


I wore this outfit a little while ago, when I went out for lunch with my uni friends. We're all teachers and catch up whenever we have school holidays. It's great to keep in touch and talk about our different experiences in our classrooms and what we've been up to in general.


I bought this leopard, satin skirt not too long ago at a market and this was my first time wearing it. Apparently, animal print and satin is trendy at the moment. That's okay, because I can stock up on leopard print, snake skin and satin pieces of clothing before fashion trends quickly move onto something else. I've liked these styles long before they were declared trendy, promise!


How do you feel when you favourite styles are suddenly deemed fashionable once again?
(Fashion goes in cycles, I know!)


Outfit details:
Skirt - $15 market find
Singlet - borrowed from my mum
Choker- Christmas present (I've been living in it, last seen here)
Tan clogs - Kmart, bought years ago
Bakelite,  plastic & snakeskin bangles - market finds.


See you in a new blog post next week.

    I love sunflowers and your skirt! Great idea to stock up on your favourite things when they have a moment - that's what I always do, too.
    Glad you had a lovely half term break. xxx

 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
