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

  A little while ago, my mum, sister and I had lunch at one of our favourite places in the city, Conservatory. It's an all you can eat restaurant with a wide variety of food. Mostly I dream of the seafood and I was SO excited to go. I love the lighted ceiling and marble staircase that greets you on the way in. I wore my new-to-me cream midi dress with cute puffy sleeves that I recently bought at a market for $7. I wasn't sure if the colour would suit me, but I like how it looks with the coral necklace. Ready to eat! The oysters were so delicious and my absolute favourite! My mum took a sneaky photo of my sister and I chatting.  See you next time, Conservatory! Although we always leave feeling so full and we swear we'll never return again! To end this post, I'll share some more recent photos... My sister and I enjoyed having a sister night, watching the Barbie movie and eating burgers at Grill'd. Yum - my favourite! I had to wear pink of course! Have you seen the mov

Beach baby, beach baby, give me your hand

A day by the beach, what could be better? One sunny day on my work holidays, my mum and I visited Geelong beach. First we popped into the Vintage Mills Market. Looks at these vintage treasures... Next we strolled by the beach.  Passing the  carousal , we couldn't resist having some childlike fun. The Carousel's website says: " The Armitage-Herschell portable steam driven, hand-carved wooden carousel was constructed circa 1892 and is one of only 200 in operation around the world.   Featuring 36 Dare horses and 2 chariots, it was purchased by the Steampacket Place Development Board in 1996 and painstakingly restored." The view from the carosaul centre is beautiful. For lunch, we ate at a lovely restaurant by the beach called Fisherman's Pier. We love returning to enjoy the seafood linguini - delicious!  The four beach ladies waved us goodbye as we made our way back to our car. Goodbye beach, it was nice seeing you!

I go leaps and bounds

A few weeks ago, my mum, dad and I spent the day in Geelong, catching up with some family and friends. Julie, Andy and their children were down from Queensland for the weekend to watch their son Joel play football, so it was a perfect chance to catch up.  It was nice watching the game, chatting and laughing non-stop. This bunch are always cracking jokes and I delighted in our giggles. Being outside all day, I rugged up in my new fluffy coat, my Christmas present from mum this year. I squeezed in a sneaky wear of it before I wrapped it up in Christmas paper.  My mum has a maroon Afghan coat and a tan one, which I sometimes borrow. You may recall them from my blog posts here and here . Now I have one of my own, thank you mum! I practically pounced on it, when I saw it on sale. I've been secondhand shopping for so long, I forgot that retail stores have end of season sales! The coat kept me toasty all day, even into the night as we headed to a pub hotel for a final gathering and chat.
