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

 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
