Sun is shining, the weather is sweet



Ahh sunny days, aren't they wonderful? A little while ago, my mum and I visited one of our favourite places, Geelong beach. We loved having a ride on the ferris wheel and looking out at the water. Amazingly, I'm not afraid of heights. Are you?



I love the lighting in these photos and coincidentally my yellow gingham dress perfectly matches the ferris wheel. My dress, vintage basket bag and sunglasses were all bargain finds from secondhand markets. I had my Baba on my mind and was missing her so I wore her pearl necklace that day along with a shell necklace my uncle gave my sister, mum and I from his travels to Phuket.


Doesn't my mum look beautiful in blue?


Next, mum and I had to stop at the merry-go-round, and for $5 we had the time of our lives, giggling as we went around and around!






We ended our day out with lunch in a restaurant by the water. We can never go past seafood with pasta and this didn't disappoint. 


The waitress working there saw us taking photos of our food and offered to take a photo of my mum and I together, which was very nice of her.


I hope you've enjoyed coming along with us on our beach day out. See you next Saturday in a new blog post.

    Yes, it was an absolute joy to tag along with you and your lovely Mum.
    I wouldn't have risked the Ferris wheel, as I've got vertigo. It would have only been the merry-go-round for me :-) xxx

    You both look fantastic. I'm not scared of heights either. Many years ago the company Jon worked for had a works do with an indoor fairground. He loathes heights and I spent most of the night on the big wheel with one of his work mates, they're even more fun when you've had a few pints of lager! 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. 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
