It's a nice day for a white wedding

I wore this outfit to a wedding last weekend.

I'm not usually that keen on going to weddings, but I had a good time. It was an Italian and Macedonian celebration, with music from both cultures so I was in my element as I understood the aspects of both traditions.


 The food was nice, I liked the panna cotta dessert and I had fun dancing - I can't complain! The bride and groom looked so genuinely happy and their joy was contagious.

Initially I wasn't sure what to wear as it was quite a cold day and my formal clothes are more suitable for Summer. I pulled out this floral dress and paired it with my suede vintage shoes and a clutch bag that I recently found at the market. The inner tag on the bag says that the outer section is made of 100% paper, which makes it look like wicker.


I love these shoes. I don't know if they're called lace up shoes or boots. What do you think? 
I don't wear them as often as I should because they're a bit uncomfortable and hurt my ankles.


 At the moment, I've got an abundance of outfit photos so I'll be publishing two blog posts this week. 
See you on Wednesday!

(I saw Billy Idol in a festival concert a few years ago. 
I was actually there to see Cheap Trick, but Billy was okay.
 It was a fun night.)

    That dress is so pretty on you and I'd love to see the original labels on your shoes - I'm obsessed with vintage labels!
    Billy Idol's original band, Generation X, were amazing - I loved Billy Idol back in the day and everyone used to say Jon was just like him ( same peroxide blond hair). King Rocker is still awesome. xxx

      I'll have to remember to take a photo next time.

      I've taken a photo of the Radley of London dress label I've just blogged about. I'm not into brands at all, but that's one that I absolutely love! X

    That is a stunner of a dress, and you are absolutely smashing in it! I agree with Vix, show us the label!

    I remember when "White Wedding" came out - love Billy!

      I'm sure Billy's great, I just wasn't familiar with many of his songs. Still, he was good! 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
