Did we unravel a long time ago?

 
Our final day in Phillip Island started with breakfast at a cafe by the beach. I had avocado and chutney on toast. I really love breakfast food but was disappointed by the breakfast meals we bought on holiday because they were all a bit average.
 

 
The sunshine and sight of blue ocean was a nice distraction and I loved spotting some swans and pelicans in the water.
 
 
 
  
 
On the drive home, we stopped at another cafe for some tea and scones. I loved the small waterfall and luscious, green ferns. We wandered around the nearby bush, spotting a cockatoo kept in a cage. How sad to be a bird stuck in a cage. A sign said that the particular bird was 84 years old and had been stolen and somehow recovered in Sydney, although I suspect someone may have felt sorry for this trapped bird and simply let it free.
 
 
 
 
 
By the time we drove home, I'd finally finished reading Daisy Jones and The Six. I enjoyed the book and the last page made me teary. This book seems to be inspired by Fleetwood Mac, I noticed some similarities in the love-hate relationship between some band members and the strength and confidence of the female musicians. Now that I've watch the show, I'm convinced some of Daisy's outfits with voluminous sleeves were definitely inspired by Stevie Nicks' seventies style. My sister and I have absolutely loved watching the series and we can't wait to watch the last four episodes.
 

 
As soon as we got home, I couldn't wait to fill the strawberry jug that I'd bought on holiday with flowers from the garden. Pink, vintage and made in Italy, what's not to love?  I also couldn't wait to visit my boyfriend, I'd missed him.
 
 
 
What books/shows have you been enjoying lately?

Title: Look At Us Now by Daisy Jones and The Six.
This song has been stuck in my head for WEEKS!

    I haven't watched nor read Daisy Jones & The Six, but I think I should as everybody keeps raving about it. I'm currently reading Myself When Young, which is Daphne du Maurier's autobiography covering her formative years.
    I'm absolutely loving that gorgeous strawberry jug filled with flowers! xxx

    I love ferns, they grow like mad in our garden and I never get tired of looking at them.
    We really enjoyed Daisy Jones and watched it over two nights. I've not read the book, I've heard mixed reviews but if I see it in a chazza then I'll get it.
    We're currently obsessed with The Wire and I'm reading The Essex Serpent by Sarah Perry, a Victorian widow travels from London to search for a mythical beast. xxx

    I read DJ and the Six for Book Club last year - have not seen the series. I just finished "The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet" by Becky Chambers and I LOVED it.

    What a pretty place!

 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
