The Wild Horse Runs Free Forever

 Last Sunday, my family and I had a lovely day celebrating Mother's Day. As soon as I woke up, I made my mum some profiteroles as she requested. Does the best daughter of the year award go to me? Haha!


Then I made breakfast using some leftovers, it was delicious!

 

We struggled to book a restaurant for lunch as everywhere we rang was booked, so we decided to drive to Arundel Farm Estate to see if they had any vacancies. They were fully booked too but at least the horses were happy to see us!


 



We drove down to Keilor Pub and there was a table available for us to have lunch, hooray! I enjoyed my steak sandwich, my dad liked his calamari with chips, my sister enjoyed her mussels in spicy tomato sauce and my mum ordered a fillet of barramundi with vegetables.
 
 
 
Do you like my new Kmart dress? I liked adding the orange and red accessories - block heel boots, a coral pendant and bangle with my vintage leather, tooled bag.
 

 
After lunch, we popped by my dedo's house and spent some time with him in the garden. He is the best gardener, with a garden full of peppers, tomatoes, flowers and many fruit trees! I admired the peppers that he's drying which he'll eventually crush into pepper flakes.  

 
 
I hope you have weekend. I'm trying to enjoy Autumn before it gets decidedly more frosty. X

 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
