She's the lady who wears those flashing eyes


 
 
Recently, I've been loving the colour pink. I think it may be because I've been seeing so many reels of cute, pink kitchens on Instagram or perhaps it's because I've been adoring my pink, strawberry jug I shared on my blog recently. Regardless, I've never really paid much attention to the colour pink until recently. I was determined to find a pink dress and luckily I didn't have to look far because I found this pink and red dress at the next opshop I visited, Savers. A bit pricey for opshops ($15.80), but I was happy to purchase this dress because it's beautiful and Sportsgirl sell their dresses for $80+ in their stores.
 

 
I had to take my new-to-me dress out for a twirl on a day out to Daylesford with my mum. She wanted to visit the lavender farm again whilst the purple delights were still in bloom.
 
  
 

 
The scent of lavendar was wonderful. I keep a bag of dried lavender by my bed, it's supposed to help you fall asleep.

 
We took some nature snaps, there was beauty all around.
 

 
 
 
 
 
Are you the ones that lay golden eggs? 
 
 
 

 

 
Outfit details:
Dress and vintage bag: Opshop finds.
Rose quartz pendant, red sunglasses and boots: Market finds. 

 
 
 
 
   
 
What a perfect time to visit, the leaves were turning red.
 
For lunch, my mum and I ate at The Virgin restaurant, a place we've never been to before. I had a steak sandwich. This is how it was described on the menu: Chargrilled rump steak, caramelised onion, smoked mozzarella, salsa verde, Turkish roll, french fries, seasonal salad. Sounded delicious to me and it didn't disappoint!
 
 
 

 
We also went to the vintage Mills Market, we hadn't been there in ages! Even though we didn't purchase anything, it was still nice to look around. My mum and I try to be quite selective with what we purchase now. We have so many nice things already and frankly have run out of storage space, so we only buy things if we think they are really amazing.   
 
 
 
 
 
I've been spotting some cute Pinocchio puppets lately! 
 

 
My mum and I love these Mary statues. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Are these vintage croc shoes horrible or fabulous? What do you think?   
 
 
 
My sister asked if we could bring her back some honeycomb. Luckily our favourite honey stall had some! I like tasting the samples too. 
 
 
 
A nice sunny day out. Reflecting and looking back on this day makes me smile. I wish I was there again!
 
 
 
What are you up to today?

 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...
