Spirit, watch the heavens open


This is the outfit I wore for the Christmas in July party I was telling you about in my last blog post.

I thought it was a good excuse to pull out this emerald satin skirt. It glistens in the sun. 


Once I put on my beloved snake print boots, I knew that I needed to pair it with this fringe-y belt. This belt must be 15-20 years old. I remember seeing it in my mum's closest when I was little and I was enamoured with the fringe and metal parts. A little while ago, my mum was cleaning her wardrobe and asked if I wanted this belt. I practically leaped at it!


See, we're getting better at sharing. Here my mum is wearing my cord skirt. I'd like to borrow (a.k.a steal) her boots one day.


Last Friday night, I went to see The Lion King at the cinemas with my friend Deana. I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not, since the original was such a classic but I really enjoyed it. I liked how details were added to the plot line and baby Simba and Nala were just too cute for words. The film has inspired me to pull out my lion necklace that I haven't worn in a while. I'll have to share some photos of it on my blog soon.


I'd also like to watch Once Upon a Time in Hollywood to see how the Sharon Tate character was styled. One of my favourite vintage YouTube collectors Doris Raymond mentioned in her recent video that she provided some of her vintage clothes for the film!

See you next Wednesday in a new blog post.

    What a wonderful shiny skirt! It looks just super with all these vintage 70s colours. Mum is looking great too - love the corduroy skirt on her!

 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
