Me and Suzy had so much fun


Just like little children, my mum and I went to the Royal Melbourne Show. Actually, there were many adults there, it was a fun day. First we went to the food pavillion and tasted all manner of food samples - chocolate licorice, chilli salsas, salami, honey and cheeses. 


We watched Cosentino the illusionist, which I surprisingly enjoyed. Then we had a wander around I convinced my mum to go on the ferris wheel with me. 


I'm happy to say that we weren't petrified of heights.


In fact, I really enjoyed being up in the sky. We could see the horse show...


the suburbs...


and the Pie in The Sky.



We returned back to the main stage to find an Elton John tribute band performing. One of the lyrics in 'Crocodile Rock' is Me and Suzy had so much fun. Of course I had to use that for this blog title as Suzy is my mum's name.


 I was feeling sick on this day and instead of missing out on the Melbourne Show fun, I rugged myself up in this big fluffy leopard coat with a belt over the top.

Outfit details:
Belt and bag: Vintage, market finds.
Leopard coat (borrowed from my mum) and turtleneck: retail.
Boots: market find.

The great thing about being a similar size to my mum and liking similar things is that we can borrow each other's clothes.



When were heading home, we came across a women's peace garden. We'd passed it many times before but had never walked in. It was quite beautiful as the sun was setting.


There was even a peace logo on the grass.


Thanks for stopping by. I'll see you next week in a new blog post about a day trip to my favourite country town.

    Guess which song will be playing in my head for the next couple of days ;-) The Royal Melbourne Show looks like so much fun indeed and both you and your Mum dressed superbly for the occasion. Not sure if I'd be brave enough to go on that ferris wheel ... Sorry to hear you weren't feeling too well, but any reason to wear that fabulous coat will do. I thought I'd seen it before and now I know why! xxx

      It's a great song!
      The Show was so much fun and as always we enjoy dressing up.
      I thought I'd be terrified of heights on the ferris wheel, but I really enjoyed it. Thanks for visiting my blog, Ann. X

    How lovely that you and your mum are the same size and can share clothes! Your leopard coat looks wonderfully snuggly and perfect for days when you feel a bit off colour, although you certainly don't look ill!
    I'd be fine on a ferris wheel, Jon would run for the hills!
    I can't believe I've blogged about visiting donkeys being rescued from being turned into salami on the same day that you were tasting it! x

      It's so great that my mum and I can share clothes (and shoes)! It's like having a double wardrobe!
      The ferris wheel was the tamest ride there, but it was so much fun. I can't picture Jon being scared of heights, haha.
      I'll have to read your latest blog post soon. X

    I love that song! I recognized the lyric right away. How fun to go to a fair - I guffawed at the pie in the sky. Ferris Wheels are so peaceful, glad you didn't have any height issues! Your leopard coat is amazing! I have a similar one, only mine's more ocelot than leopard. Too warm to wear it now, though.

    Happy week ahead, Jess!

 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
