Oh yeah, wait a minute Mister Postman


On Saturday, I was listening to the With the Beatles album as I was cleaning and the song 'Please Mister Postman' got stuck in my head. So naturally when I passed a postbox the next day on the way home from the market, I had to get a photo in front of it! Silly, I know, but fashion is meant to be fun. 


Speaking about fashion, here are my prized Turkish boots. Every year, on my way to visit Eden, I'd go into a Turkish store in Stratford and lust over these boots. I used to look at them, but never buy them - they were out of my price range. Finally, when I was working part time at uni, I saved and saved for them and the next time we passed Stratford, I bought them! Aren't they unusual!


I styled this outfit around my boots because I knew the weather would be okay and I only wear them when I know it's not going to rain. I decided to stick with solid colours - a purple turtleneck, purple tights and rust/red cord skirt.


I think I've got to let go of this cord mini skirt. I've outgrown it and I don't think it's flattering on me anymore. This skirt is a bit sentimental to me because I wore it to a Rolling Stones concert in 2014 - it's seen some good times! I know it sounds silly, but I hope its next owner has just as much fun in it.

On the way to see the Rolling Stones, 5 years ago. I'm a big fan. Can you tell by my Keith tshirt?! 

 In fact, I'm selling all 3 of my cord mini skirts - I've got none left! I'm so glad that I found this cord midi skirt at the market on Sunday to replace my cord skirts. I think I'm more of a midi skirt person. What do you think, can I still pull off minis? 

See you next Sunday in a new blog post. X

    I think you can pull off whatever you want to! Find a new cord mini, and rock it! I wear minis and I'm 51!!

    I ADORE those boots and demand close-ups! What are they made off?

      Yeah, I'll have to find a new cord mini. I'm not sure I want to totally get rid of all of them yet. Age is no matter, I'm just not sure they suit my body anymore, but if I find another, I'll give it a go. I do have a floral cord mini skirt that I'm holding onto - I love it.

      Ooo, I'll have to show close ups of the Turkish boots one day! They are made of a thick velvet material and it's embroidered! 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

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!

I go leaps and bounds

A few weeks ago, my mum, dad and I spent the day in Geelong, catching up with some family and friends. Julie, Andy and their children were down from Queensland for the weekend to watch their son Joel play football, so it was a perfect chance to catch up.  It was nice watching the game, chatting and laughing non-stop. This bunch are always cracking jokes and I delighted in our giggles. Being outside all day, I rugged up in my new fluffy coat, my Christmas present from mum this year. I squeezed in a sneaky wear of it before I wrapped it up in Christmas paper.  My mum has a maroon Afghan coat and a tan one, which I sometimes borrow. You may recall them from my blog posts here and here . Now I have one of my own, thank you mum! I practically pounced on it, when I saw it on sale. I've been secondhand shopping for so long, I forgot that retail stores have end of season sales! The coat kept me toasty all day, even into the night as we headed to a pub hotel for a final gathering and chat.
