Listen to the wind blow, watch the sun rise


Day 3 in Eden started with our routine walk on the beach. 

Listen to the wind blow, watch the sun rise.

My mum took this beautiful sunrise photo - she's an early riser. Although I'd like to take these sort of photos myself, I get up early throughout the year so holidays are really the only time I sleep in.

 Outfit details:
Maxi dress - hand-me-down from my ma! Last seen here on the blog.
Turquoise ring and bangle and sunglasses: Secondhand finds.
Straw bag: Worn throughout this trip and bought retail years ago.


My family and I spent the day in Merimbula, browsing the shops. Of course I had to take a photo in front of these pink hydrangeas because they perfectly matched my dress.


I bought my dad a couple of band t-shirts for his birthday and then we ate at the R.S.L. 
I had a calamari salad - yum! 


It started to rain and people began peering out the windows and everyone was relieved. Thank goodness for the rain, we all collectively thought. Even though I was aware of the fires at that point, I didn't realise that they would soon travel towards our direction.


I made the BEST mushroom pasta for dinner and spent the rest of the evening reading by the beach. Pure bliss!

    Your Mum's sunrise photo is gorgeous! Such a great shot. They do say the early bird catches the worm, don't they? I'm also loving both of your dresses - two gorgeous and stylish ladies - and your mushroom pasta is looking very yummy! xxx

      I know, right? She's definitely an early bird and loves taking in the beautiful sight of sunrises.

      Thank you, Ann. I'm looking forward to catching up on reading your blog soon. X

    Gorgeous pictures! I'm so glad you got some rain - however, you sound ominous! Did the fires come your way again?

    Lovely dresses on both you and Mum. That mushroom pasta looks amazing.

      Thanks Shiela, I love the photos too.

      The fires came closer and closer towards Eden at the end of our holiday, hence we had to leave early and get out while we could. 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

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!

I go leaps and bounds

A few weeks ago, my mum, dad and I spent the day in Geelong, catching up with some family and friends. Julie, Andy and their children were down from Queensland for the weekend to watch their son Joel play football, so it was a perfect chance to catch up.  It was nice watching the game, chatting and laughing non-stop. This bunch are always cracking jokes and I delighted in our giggles. Being outside all day, I rugged up in my new fluffy coat, my Christmas present from mum this year. I squeezed in a sneaky wear of it before I wrapped it up in Christmas paper.  My mum has a maroon Afghan coat and a tan one, which I sometimes borrow. You may recall them from my blog posts here and here . Now I have one of my own, thank you mum! I practically pounced on it, when I saw it on sale. I've been secondhand shopping for so long, I forgot that retail stores have end of season sales! The coat kept me toasty all day, even into the night as we headed to a pub hotel for a final gathering and chat.
