And so this is Christmas...

I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas! I was so happy to catch up with some family friends on Christmas Eve for a sunny picnic. The food was delicious and the company was even better. I also enjoyed spending Christmas Day visiting my dedo with my family and then having lunch with my boyfriend's family. 







On my sister's birthday a few days ago, she wanted to go out for fish and chips for dinner and look at some Christmas lights, so that's exactly what we did. The Christmas lights were truly amazing and so over the top!







Earlier in the month, my family, boyfriend and I also visited the Myer Christmas windows after we went out to a German restaurant for my parents' anniversary. I loved the Mickey and Minnie Mouse window the best, as well as the Lion King window.






What did you get up to this holiday season? I hope you're having a joyful and peaceful time whatever you're up to.

    Sounds like you had the most wonderful Christmas, Jess! Mine was a bit low key this year as I'm still recovering from flu. I loved visiting the Christmas lights and the Myer Christmas windows vicariously with you! xxx

    Oh who's that little cutie in the white hat!? Those decorations are CRAZY! What a hoot. Ingenious for someone to turn their ball bushes into giant puddings. Lovely pictures Jess. We had a lovely day with the family. The kids weren't up too early & Monsieur cooked a fab Christmas dinner (he rarely cooks but when he does, it is always good) xXx

      Hi Lulu!
      That's my friend Renee's daughter. She's so adorable, I love her.
      I know, what a creative idea to make the giant pudding decorations.
      That sounds like a perfect Christmas you had. 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
