I want to feel sunlight on my face


I returned to my favourite country town, Daylesford, a little while ago. My mum wanted to visit a quaint, little shop that sells the most gorgeous home-wares, many of which are made in Europe.  After countless years of admiring a particular set of drinking glasses made in France, my mum finally decided that this year was the year she'd get them. In the past, the high price had always put her off but I offered to buy them for her as a Christmas present and she happily agreed. Any excuse and I'm happy to visit Daylesford.


After purchasing the glasses, we bought some honey from our favourite seller, who collects honey from across Australia.



We wandered around Lake Jubilee, it's so beautiful and peaceful. I never, ever want to leave.


I loved watching the ducks. It's not often that a suburb gal like me
get to see ducks, so I always appreciate it.


  We even came across some peacocks. I may have been smiling in this photo, but really I was inwardly terrified that the peacock was going to attack me.


Look at its beautiful feathers. It was either showing off or trying to scare me away!


I spotted a Christmas tree when walking past an old church and had to take a photo. I just love Christmas and have so many lovely memories celebrating with friends and family.


Speaking of Christmas, check out my recent secondhand finds.
This gorgeous Zara snake-print dress and white dress (with massive ruffled sleeves!) were a bargain at $10 each and the cute Christmas decorations were a dollar. 


Trust me to spot a cowboy boot decoration from a mile away!

I hope you have been enjoying the Christmas season.
See you next time in a new blog post.

    What a dream of a dress you're wearing Jess! I'm also loving the Zara snake-print dress you found. I love peacocks! We once stayed at a B&B which had resident peacocks, who were always strutting around in the garden with their peahens and what we called pea-babies ;-) They're so cute! xxx

      Peacocks are just adorable, aren't they? I've only ever seen pea-babies once or twice. They are sooo cute. X

    I love the dress you're wearing, and I love the two you found! what great deals! Peacocks won't hurt you - that tail display is for the peahens. Helloooo, ladies!

      Thanks Shiela. I've been LIVING in the snakeprint dress and can't wait to wear the white one in a couple of weeks when it starts to get hotter.

      Ahh, I'm glad the peacock wasn't after me. Although there weren't any peahens around, maybe it was posing for the camera! X

    Both the ruffly hem dress and Zara snake print are fantastic (much better to buy Zara secondhand, their ethics are the pits!)
    Lovely to see Daylsford through your eyes. I adore peacocks, it's funny seeing them just wandering about in India like pigeons! xxx

      Ooo, I didn't know that about Zara. That's a shame, because in the few times I've been in their store, I've noticed some lovely 70s style pieces.
      I love Daylesford. The peacocks were just gorgeous. I can't believe they're everywhere in India! 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

    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!
