All your life you've never seen a woman taken by the wind


My sister, mum and I went to see Fleetwood Mac last night! 
It was AMAZING!

We had tried to get tickets when they were first on sale but they sold out. Then my mum heard about some last minute tickets that were added to the show and we snapped them up! I'm so glad we decided to go.




My mum and I felt that it was only appropriate to dress up to honour Stevie Nick's fabulous 1970s fashion.  My mum wore this stunning velvet and lace dress. I wore this satin dress with huge sleeves.

  I've channeled Stevie in the past, and recently found this dress in an op-shop and felt that it was only right to have its first outing be a Fleetwood Mac concert.

My mum and I also wore our matching amethyst rings. My mum knows how much I love chunky, amethyst rings and she surprised me with this sweet present last week. Then she found an oval one for herself, so we are officially twins! Thank you mum, you're too kind.


 We had a wonderful night. My heart melted as soon as Stevie Nicks and Christine McVie walked on stage holding hands. The Chain, Little Lies, Dreams, Rhiannon, Don't Dream It's Over and Landslide were  memorable moments. Fleetwood Mac even paid tribute to Tom Petty when they covered his song Free Fallin' with a montage of images of him on the screen. It was very sweet.

 Stevie mentioned that it was the 74th show of the tour and all of the musicians appeared to be really enjoying themselves. They were all very welcoming to Neil Finn, who was fantastic by the way. Mick Fleetwood introduced Don't Dream It's Over as a song that he personally treasured and stumbled upon years ago at a time when he really appreciated its sentimental value. Stevie and Neil sang it as a duet and the atmosphere was mesmerising as the audience lit up with phone lights. Stevie praised Neil as a wonderful songwriter, saying that Don't Dream It's Over is the kind of song that an artist creates once in a lifetime. Then she continued the show with her own iconic song Landslide - pure bliss.

  At one point, Stevie smiled and waved at my sister and I as we were dancing to Rhiannon. I adore her!

It's official, I want to be Stevie Nicks when I grow up!

 I've got a few more concerts that I'm looking forward to going to later this year. Until then, I'll see you next week in a new blog post.

 Title: Rhiannon by Fleetwood Mac.

    How amazing that you and your mum and sister went to see Fleetwood Mac! You and mum look incredible - how gorgeous is your pink silk top/dress?? I loved Crowded House and Split Enz back in the day. Hope your week is going well, honey.

      Thanks Shiela, when I first bought it, I wasn't sure if it was a top or dress . Turns out it's a really short dress, I had to wear brown tights under it!

      We were all so excited about the concert. There's nothing like a good ol' concert to uplift your spirit. X

    I'm so glad you enjoyed the gig and your Mum achieved her lifelong ambition of seeing Fleetwood Mac.
    Love both your outfits (and your chunky rings!) Stevie would be proud! xxx

    After following you (and your Mum's) posts on Instagram, I've just discovered that you'e a blogger too, so I thought I'd pop over and have a look! How perfectly wonderful that you were able to grab those last minute tickets to the Fleetwood Mac gig. I think Rhiannon might well be my favourite FM song. You were both dressed perfectly for the gig, and I think Stevie would definitely agree with me. I love your beautiful chunky rings, which are exactly the thing I would wear too! I've put you on my blog roll now so that I can follow you! xxx

      Chunky rings are always a good thing.

 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...

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 absolu...
