I'll Follow the Sun

Day 3 of our holiday to Lorne started off with a nature hike to Erskine Falls. A friend from work recommended seeing the waterfall and it was definitely worth the trip. 


My dad and sister ventured through the rocks to get a closer look. I was making my way over until my sister slipped off the slippery rocks and into the water and I decided, nope, not doing that!


This is as much "glamour" as I could muster up for hiking, with a limited holiday wardrobe. I just wore my velvet leopard pants, runners and an old Rolling Stones tshirt. I didn't quite blend in with the masses of people wearing black and leggings! 


We then drove to Teddy's Lookout which amazed me even more than the waterfall. Everywhere you looked, there was a beautiful view of the ocean. The sound of the waves was so calming. I really didn't want to ever leave.



On Easter Monday, our last day in Lorne, we packed our suitcases and drove home. We stopped off at Torquay Beach. 


I'm the sort of person who's always happy at a beach.

Outfit details:
Belt and tooled bag: Vintage.
Boots and sunglasses: Secondhand market finds. 
(I've been searching for brown boots for ages, ever since I wore out my old favourites).
Necklace: Italian-made pendants bought in St. Mary's Cathedral from last year's trip to Sydney.


I enjoyed wearing this outfit so much that I decided to wear it all again (minus the sunglasses and bag!) for school photos last week. I'd hate to be a plainly dressed teacher!


And that's the last of my Lorne blog posts! I'm glad I've documented this holiday here. See you next Sunday in a new blog post. X

      I know, I felt sorry for her walking around with one wet socks, but she didn't mind.
      Thank you, I love this dress! X

    Someone always goes in when there are slippery rocks, right? Glad you were dressy compared to all the leggings-wearers! I LOVE that purple dress. What a stunner! I love beaches too - they're all rocky on the west coast of Canada!

      Wow, the beaches are rocky? I can't imagine that. I've heard that they're like that in Italy too. Either way, beaches are wonderful. 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
