Comin' Tuesday I feel better, even my old man looks good


Hello! I've managed to find some time to blog - hooray! Life is as busy as ever and there's only two more weeks until the end of term. In my down time, I like to prioritise what I want to do the most. What I enjoy most is spending time with my boyfriend and my family but then I also try to squeeze in friends, reading, embroidering, going for walks and sometimes cooking.
  
Here's some things I've been up to lately...
 
 

1. Going out to eat with my family. I like going out once in a while and trying different foods at different places. And then I also like revisiting my favourite places to eat too.


 
2. Going on walks and admiring nature.
 

 
 
 
I adore these lantern trees and would love to have some one day. My sister noticed that they're actually three trees, twirled together to make it look like there are different flowers growing from the one tree. So beautiful.  
 




3. Going to a concert. I haven't been to one in ages! My sister organised the tickets on the day of the concert, on a Tuesday, it was very last minute. There I was worrying that I didn't want to go out of a week night because I'd be too tired for work the next day, but I really enjoyed myself and felt like my old concert-going self again.
 
 
 
 I wish I had've taken a photo with a man who attended the concert. He dressed up in a full KISS outfit, all black with the silver details plus platform boots with silver stars on them (where can I get a pair??) and enev wore a black curly wig, 80s style! I didn't get the picture, but I think you get the picture. 

4. Spending time with friends. My friend from work, Alyssa had a winery tour for her birthday and I'd never been to one before! I love how she is so outgoing and great at organising events and get-togethers, I wish I was more like that.

I thought I wouldn't be able to handle all the tastings of wine, but I had lots of fun, enjoyed meeting new people and the very last moscato we had was really nice.




 
 
 
And that brings me to today... it's Father's Day! I have spent the morning with my dad, dedo, mum and sister, chatting over tea and cake and spending time in the backyard. I made lunch and pavlova for my dad and we'll have a dinner of lasagne with my dedo and uncle later on. 
 
 
 
I hope you are having a lovely day and capturing all the little moments in life that give you joy.

    I know finding time to blog can sometimes be hard. After all, we all have jam-packed lives to live, don't we? I'm glad to see you were able to squeeze in time spent with family and friends, and that you even went to a Kiss concert on a school night! That pavlova is looking seriously yummy by the way! xxx

    Oh, your pavlova looks amazing! I know, it's hard to find time to do all the things we want to do! A friend who is a good organizer is crucial - make sure you thank her! (I'm the organizer in my group). You went to see KISS?? I'm so jealous - I would love to see them, but bands so rarely come to our island and it's SO expensive to get to the mainland/stay overnight.

    Yay for Father's Day!

 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
