They say it's your birthday...

 

May is a month of celebrations in my home. My family and I celebrated Mother's Day two weeks ago and had a lovely day out in the city. We ate lunch at Brunetti's and I enjoyed the most delicious seafood pasta and desserts with my family. We wandered around the city which we don't often do, and it was a nice day.


On Friday it was my mum's birthday and we celebrated with a nice lunch at Arundel Farm Estate, a place I've visited for Christmas work parties in the past.


 






We loved seeing the horses and donkeys before eating some pasta (what else?) for lunch. My dad's homemade pasta with ragu was delicious as was my sister's beetroot and goat cheese salad. The sun came out and sprinkled us with some vitamin C. Another lovely day.

 

 


 

Outfit details:

Snake print suit - Zara. The jacket was actually a birthday gift after I'd bought the skirt on eBay.

Vintage bag - $10 market find.

Boots- borrowed from my mum.

 


This week, I'm looking forward to my birthday on Friday.  I can't wait!

I hope you all have a lovely week! X


Title: Birthday by The Beatles.

    What a lovely day out! Arundel Farm Estate looks like the perfect birthday treat, and your lunch looks utterly delicious. And of course, you are both dressed fabulously. Your snake print suit is the stuff of dreams, it's hard to believe it's Zara! xxx

    I'm a big fan of that snakeskin suit you have on. Your mum looks gorgeous - that flower in the hair is perfection. Wow, that pasta is making me hungry!

 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
