Let your heart be light

 Have you been window shopping this holiday season? There are so many adorable things to see and marvel at! 

A little while ago, my boyfriend and I browsed a shopping centre, looking at lots of Christmas items.



 I took photos of everything I liked so I could go back closer to Christmas and see if anything was marked down on special.



I absolutely adore these Beauty and The Beast ornaments. If they aren't marked down, I will have to just close my eyes and purchase them! There's a Christmas movie called Beauty and The Beast: The Enchanted Christmas and it's a movie I return to year after year. 


I don't have any room for these mugs but they will also have to come home with me, evenutally!


The below items were from Harris Scarfe... 





I purchased these mugs on special for $7 each, not too bad. They're smaller than my other mugs but very cute.


I'll finish this blog post with an outfit photo taken on December 1st, the first day of summer in Melbourne. Would you believe it, it was so cold and rainy, I just had to borrow my mum's Christmas wool sweater for the day!

Have you been enjoying Christmas window shopping or purchasing this year?

    Happy Xmas, dear Jess and family! Having to wear a jumper on the first day of Summer sounds like our British weather!
    Great idea to photograph what you like in the hope it gets discounted after the festive season. I hope you manage to snaffle some bargains in the January sales. xxx

    Merry Christmas to you and your family, Jess!
    Fancy wearing a Christmas jumper on the first day of Summer ...
    I hope some of those coveted items will be marked down in the January sales, but in the meantime, those lovely mugs are very cute indeed! 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
