Let's hope it's a good one, without any fear

 

Happy new year's eve everyone! I hope you had some joyous moments throughout 2022! Even in times of sadness, I have come to realise that there is still so much beauty and love around us and things to be grateful for. 


As I've been cleaning up the photos from my phone (I take so many!), I've found some that I haven't shared throughout the year. I'll slowly get around to posting them now that I have summer holidays before I start with my new grade 2 class at the end of January.





Mum and I discovered a couple of Mexican restaurants recently. I loved the interiors of this place.




I also took great joy in growing my own tulips this year!






 Of course I loved putting together outfits too.



I can't wait to go on many day trips with my mum while I'm on holidays. We'll surely return to this restaurant near my dad's work. The Mexican flan is absolutely amazing.



There have been many happy memories from this year and I'm glad I took so many photos because otherwise I'd forget them. Thank you for visiting my blog this year! I enjoy reading your comments and seeing the number of people that visit this page too. See you in the new year!

    All that food looks truly scrumptious, Jess, and it's making me hungry!
    What a colourful bunch of tulips and I'm swooning over the outfit you are wearing while Holding them. That leopard top is absolutely fabulous, and I'm loving that basket too!
    Happy New Year, let's hope it's a good one indeed! xxx

    Looking fabulous, Jess! Your tulips are beautiful.
    The mexican restaurant looks great. I see churros, big at festivals, they're a legendary hangover cure! I've got that Corona tray!
    Happy New Year! xxx

    Happy New Year, Jess! Well done on your tulips! I love seeing your funky outfits, and I thought of you when I heard about Christine McVie's death.

 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
