Baby, you're out of time



It's been a busy couple of days, thank goodness I'm on work holidays! I treasure this time because I can take time to relax, catch up with friends, family and of course, there's always work I take home with me as a teacher. 

On Sunday, my family and I went to my nonna's house to help her install her new stove. I love spending time with my nonna. We ate dinner together and wandered around her garden - she grows all types of vegetables. I even picked some chilli, lavender and sage to take home with me. Thanks nonna! 

I also found these treasures at the morning market. I love how they all perfectly colour coordinate.

On Monday, my mum and I went to the cinemas to watch 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood'. I thought about watching it when I last went to the cinemas with my friend Deana to see the Lion King but then I promptly forgot about it. After recently watching Devyn Crimson's review of the film's fashion, I decided to go and see it.

I didn't really know what to expect, but I knew it would be set in the sixties and that Sharon Tate would be portrayed in it. I liked the music, of course, and at times it really enhanced the film. The Rolling Stones' Out of Time, Simon and Garfunkel's Mrs Robinson and  Jose Feliciano's California Dreamin' were highlights.

 I liked most of the costumes too. Margot's Robbie's portrayal of Sharon Tate in a long snake print jacket was by far the best outfit.

 To my regular blog readers, this would come as no surprise as you know how much I love snake print outfits. In fact, I wore a matching snake print skirt and jacket in my blog post back in July.

Since watching the film, I have read that Margot Robbie's (Sharon Tate) yellow outfit and Brad Pitt's (Cliff) double denim outfit are original vintage pieces. Overall, I don't think that the sixties costuming was spectacular but it was okay.

As for the plot, it was a bit over my head. It would jump from being sad, serious, funny and then ridiculous. The ending scene where Sharon Tate's murder is rewritten is crazy and violent, I actually gasped and had to cover my eyes quite a few times - it was gruesome.

My mum and I left the cinema feeling incredulous, laughing to ourselves 'What have we just watched?' I'm not familiar with Quentin Tarentino's work, but I think this is part of his film creating style. Perhaps I don't quite comprehend it, but I'm sure there are many viewers who will. Maybe I'll rewatch the film one day and develop a better appreciation for it.
Outfit details:
Belt: Vintage.
Boots: Market find.
Dress: Borrowed from my mum.
Turquoise necklace and bangle: gifts and op-shopped.
Blossoms: Captured before the wind blows them away.
Before going home, my mum and I went for a bit of a walk near a river. It had just stopped raining and the sun was beginning to come out. It's such a beautiful area, we want to return one day with my sister and a picnic basket full of food.



Hope you're having a lovely start to the week.
See you in my next blog post.

    The blue dress you're wearing at the beginning of your post is charming and is looking particularly gorgeous against the pink of the pretty blossoms behind you. I'm swooning over your market finds: what fabulous colours and indeed all perfectly coordinated. And I did a double take when I saw your snakeskin skirt and jacket. How groovy is that! xxx

      Thanks Ann, I love the blue dress against the blossoms too.
      Funny how the market finds all perfectly coordinate. I didn't plan that but I like how they could be all worn together.
      Ooo thank you, the snake print skirt and jacket is a pretty groovy and bold outfit. X

    I'm a huge fan of Tarantino and am dying to see this film. Jon's obsessed with Charles Manson and used to have a massive poster of him in his house when we first started going out together!
    Love Margot Robbie's coat - your fab outfit is a fabulous lookalike!
    Your Mum's dress is lovely and your market finds are gorgeous. xxx

      A Charles Manson poster? That's freaky and would have spooked me out!
      You'll probably love the movie then if you're a Tarantino fan.
      Thank you, I love wearing the snake print skirt suit. 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

She's the lady who wears those flashing eyes

    Recently, I've been loving the colour pink. I think it may be because I've been seeing so many reels of cute, pink kitchens on Instagram or perhaps it's because I've been adoring my pink, strawberry jug I shared on my blog recently . Regardless, I've never really paid much attention to the colour pink until recently. I was determined to find a pink dress and luckily I didn't have to look far because I found this pink and red dress at the next opshop I visited, Savers. A bit pricey for opshops ($15.80), but I was happy to purchase this dress because it's beautiful and Sportsgirl sell their dresses for $80+ in their stores.     I had to take my new-to-me dress out for a twirl on a day out to Daylesford with my mum. She wanted to visit the lavender farm again whilst the purple delights were still in bloom.           The scent of lavendar was wonderful. I keep a bag of dried lavender by my bed, it's supposed to help you fall asleep.   We took some natu

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!
