Girls just want to have fun

 

 Oh, to think I am still posting photos from my summer holidays! It is now Autumn here in Melbourne but I am so behind in posting. So much so that I had to take a break from blogging for a few weeks. Plus life gets in the way, but I'm back!


 On this warm summer's day mum and I had a great day out at Geelong beach. First we went to the vintage Mills Market. I was in more of a browsing mood and was just happy to look.



We also went for a walk along the beach. I noticed a big carousal right by the beach and we happily paid $9 each for a ride. It was amazing being up in the air, looking down at the glistening, blue water from above.


 



For lunch we returned to a favourite Greek restaurant that we've visited before. I had a souvlaki and mum had a moussaka but they must've changed owners or something because the food was disappointing compared to the delicious food we've feasted on in the past. The elderly couples sitting behind me were making us laugh with all their talk of Donald Trump.



Before we returned home, we had to have a bit of a 'sip and sea' - sipping elder-flower cordial and tonic while sitting by the sea. It was so relaxing, I HATED having to leave!


Outfit details:

Green tree of Life maxi dress- hand me down from mum.

Fish pendant (just HAD to wear this at the beach): Secondhand market trade.

Double braids: A new hairstyle I've been wearing. I like simple tied-back styles.


A few days after these photos were taken, it was another blazing hot day and I had lunch at a cafe with Sam, my old friend from uni. I love chattering away with her and laughing about all our funny teaching experiences. Before I know it, I'll be on holidays soon and no doubt be catching up with her. Time flies!

What have you been up to?

    Glad I'm not the only one behind in blogging :-)
    What a lovely day you and your Mum had. I wouldn't mind having a browse at that vintage market, and I think that Ferris wheel is the most beautiful one I've ever laid eyes on.
    I love the idea of a 'sip and sea' ! xxx

    Oh, that blue sky! I miss it so much! You and Mum look like you had a wonderful time, from strolling on the beach to browsing the market (I can't turn off my "eye" when I'm in a store - I would have found something, for sure!). You both look lovely, and yes, of course you had to wear your fish pendant! I love elderflower - such a refreshing taste!

 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...

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 absolu...
