Don't leave me hanging on the telephone

 Hello again! Hope you're all doing well!

I'm writing a quick blog post, while I've got a second! Life is always busy but I like to squeeze in time for the things I enjoy, like blogging and posting outfit photos!

These photos were taken in April right before I was going out to a canolli date with Pat. Such an Italian thing of me to do - haha!

 

I bought this dress not too long ago from a Savers op shop. It was $10-15 which is more than I usually spend on a secondhand dress but I've been wanting a denim dress for years. Plus this one was the perfect colour and length so I didn't mind spending the extra few dollars. Plus I wanted to look cute for my date!

As of May 27 (my birthday) at midnight, Melbourne went into its 4th lock-down. We had quite a few months living life like 'normal', just going about our buisness so it's always a shock to have COVID-19 cases again and to have to suddenly go into a lock-down. Although I'm glad the government is so quick in protecting us. So far I've taught my students online for 6 school days and if all goes well we'll be out of lock-down by Friday. In between working on my laptop and writing reports I've been reading, embroidering, going for walks and painting. I even baked an orange cake using oranges from our tree.

 

In my next post, I'll share some birthday pictures that I never got around to posting. 

How are things in your part of the world?

    Well the denim dress certainly made you look super cute for your date! A belated happy birthday to you. There's a rumour here in the UK, that after the G7 summit, they'll be new restrictions, as infection rates are rising again. The orange cake looks delicious and I how lovely too that they are home grown oranges! Lulu xXx

    That denim dress is gorgeous, Jess, and well worth "splashing out" on. I've been looking out for the - still elusive - perfect one myself, so if I ever find it I won't think twice about paying a bit more either. I love how you styled it with those tights and boots!
    Sorry to hear you're in another lockdown. I do hope it'll be a short one.
    Oh my, doesn't that orange cake look delicious though! xxx

    You look adorable in your denim dress and the cake looks scrumptious!
    I'm sorry about another lockdown. Any news on your vaccine roll-out? Our numbers are creeping up although numbers of those with serious illness & hospitalisations are really tiny, thank goodness.
    Stay safe! xxx

    You look awesome in your denim dress - I love it with the matching tights and boots, Jess!

    We are entering our second round of vaccinations, and things are starting to open up now that 70% or more of my province has had their first jabs. It's so amazing - I hugged my mom for the first time in 16 months!

  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

She's the lady who wears those flashing eyes

    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!
