I'm off the deep end, watch as I dive in


Lately, I've been thinking about the 2018 film 'A Star is Born'. I first went to see it in the cinemas and it was a memorable experience because there was a fire evacuation in the middle of the film. The movie was paused, we huddled out, the fire brigades sorted out the issue and then it was safe to go back in the cinemas! The flow of the film felt somewhat interrupted, so I was happy to re-watch it at home on DVD recently.



I LOVED Bradley Cooper's songs, especially...

It's the kind of music that's got a great sound of rock 'n' roll mixed with a good measure of country! I'd happily listen to his music and can't believe he's not in a real band! I also loved Lady Gaga's Shallow - what a voice she has!


The end of the film made me cry, of course. Ally (Lady Gaga) and Jackson's (Bradley Cooper) relationship is endearing but it left me wondering...where is the anger and resentment that inevitably occurs when a loved one struggles with addiction? Even though Jackson was such a likable character, it was a little romanticised and seemed like Ally was all too understanding and loving. Regardless, I still LOVED the film. 
Have you seen it? What did you think?


Jackson's western style inspired me to pull out my fringe suede jacket and give it a whirl. It was such a good market find! I've even made a video of it for Instagram, the fringe sways wonderfully.

Hope you're enjoying your weekend. 
See you next Sunday.

    I vaguely remember the original film with Barbra Streisand but I think I was about 15 when I watched it so I can't recall the plot. Bradley Cooper is a regular at Glastonbury, he's really into his music.
    Your jacket is such fun!

      The fringy jacket is SO fun to wear!
      Has Bradley Cooper ever stopped by at your vintage stall? I'm sure he'd love the clothes you and Jon sell. X

    That is a KILLER jacket - I adore it! I really enjoyed the modern version of "A Star is Born" - the singing is great. Check out Jason Isbell and the Nashville Sound - Cooper sang one of his songs in the film - it's a very similar sound, that modern country/rock.

    Apparently there is an even older version of A Star Is Born, with Judy Garland. Having had a marriage with someone who had a massive alcohol problem, I'd have to be dragged kicking and screaming to watch a movie with that in it. Even if the rest of the world loved it.

    That sounded really negative, I didn't actually mean it to be. Apologies.

      No, it's okay I didn't take it negatively. I haven't seen the Judy Garland version yet.

      I understand that you wouldn't want to watch it, it's hard enough to deal with it in real life. 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

    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!
