I can tell by your eyes that you've probably been crying forever

February and March have been a time full of concerts for me. First, my family and I went to see the Sunnyboys farewell show earlier in the year, then soon after that we saw Harry Styles in concert, then Cyndi Lauper and Rod Stewart just this week! Music galore!


 

My sister organised tickets to see Harry Styles and it was so fun singing and dancing the night away. I loved seeing the audience's retro, colourful outfits, I wish I'd taken photos! I came away loving his songs and thinking that he was very sweet and humble.


I especially loved the songs 'Golden', 'As It Was', 'Sign of the Times', 'Late Night Talking' and many others.

 

This Wednesday, my mum, dad and I went to see Rod Stewart's concert, with Cyndi Lauper opening the show. Cyndi Lauper sang amazingly and I loved her eccentric fashion and mow-hawk, it's so her! 'True Colours' always makes me cry, and of course I loved 'Girls Just Wanna Have Fun' too, where she took the time to talk more about women's rights.

  


Rod Stewart was wonderful too. He told jokes between songs, dedicated a song to the people of Ukraine and sang really well. He had quite a few outfit changes but I think his green, shiny suit photographed the best. He sang so many good songs and I really loved 'The First Cut Is The Deepest', 'Maggie May', 'Young Turks', 'I Don't Want To Talk About It' and 'Sailing'. 

 

There's something about enjoying a concert that puts a pep in your step, gives you a bit of happiness and memories to treasure. I loved all three concerts.

  


Hope you're having a lovely weekend, whatever you're up to. X

Title: Sailing By Rod Stewart.

    Sounds like you had quite a musical couple of months, Jess. I have to confess that I'm not familiar with Harry Styles' music ...
    The Rod Stewart songs you mentioned take me right back to my teenage years, though. In fact, I immediately recognized your post title as part of the lyrics of I Don't Want To Talk About It. He still has the most incredible voice, hasn't he? xxx

    We saw Cyndi Lauper at Glastonbury about six years ago and were really impressed, her voice was as good as it was back when I was a fan in the 1980s.
    Harry Styles is lovely to look at although I can't say I'm a massive fan of his music! xxx

 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...

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 absolu...
