Simply having a wonderful Christmas time

A few days ago it was my sister's birthday. Luckily we both had a day off work so we went to the cinemas. We watched 'Parasite' - a funny but horrifying Korean film. It is a story of a family's financial struggles and their desperation leads them into a manipulative, deceiving life. I had to shut my eyes at the end of the film - it was so violent and graphic.

We ate a banh-mi for lunch which was memorable because it was so, so spicy! I only ate half of it and had to take the rest home to eat between sips of cooling milk! And to think that I can actually handle chilli! In the evening, my dedo, uncle and cousins came over for dinner and chocolate ripple cake (I made it, it's my sister's favourite). 

We had a quiet Christmas Eve at home where my mum cooked seafood spaghetti and we celebrated Christmas Day at my friend Renee's house. It was lovely catching up with everyone and the food was delicious!


I wore a golden dress, my chilli necklace and some gold strappy shoes. Along with my coral ring and matching red lipstick, I felt positively Christmas-y. 



At the end of the day, we popped into my dedo's house and I gave him a food hamper with some of his favourite foods. I had so much fun shopping for it and assembling it all that I decided that I'll make food hampers as gifts for everyone next year.


I hope you had a wonderful Christmas. 
See you next year. X

    How lovely that you were able to spend your sister's birthday with her. I'm not too sure I could have watched that film, though. I'm highly sensitive so I'd be having nightmares about it for a long time. I love seafood spaghetti, so now I am craving it. I'm sure your Mum's was very tasty! I love your golden dress and chilli necklace, and what a fun idea to give food hampers as presents! xxx

      Thanks Ann.
      What a perfect couple of days that was.
      Hope you had a lovely Christmas and New Year. I'm going to catch up on my blog reading now so I'm sure I'll read about your Xmas/New Year. X

    How gorgeous you looked in your gold dress and red lippie! Your Xmas Day photos are just lovely.
    Parasite sounds right up my street. I dislike happy endings and love a film that haunts me for days after - I'll keep my fingers crossed that they show it on the plane in a fortnight's time!

    Happy birthday, sis! I've heard "Parasite" is a really good movie. You look stunning in your golden gown and those shoes are to die for!

      Thanks Shiela. I would never have heard of Parasite if it wasn't for my sister. She always seems to find these unusual movies!

      I call these my "Anita Pallenberg" shoes because she wore a similar gold strappy pair in the late 60s/early 70s. I had been lusting after a gold pair for ages but never came across them until a year or two ago. Now I pull them out for special occassions. 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!
