Cool cat, tapping on the toe with a new hat

My mum and I hadn't been to our beloved Daylesford in about 6 months and since we'd also run out of honey (which we buy from in a little stall there), we recently had a perfect excuse to return.


Even though it's only Autumn here in Australia, it was so freezing cold, that even my big, fluffy Afghan coat couldn't keep me warm!






Nevermind, we still ventured out to taste-test and purchase some delicious Red Mallee honey and then admire the beautiful Jubilee Lake. 



Our favourite Daylesford restaurant The Convent was closed for the day so we returned to The Virgin Kitchen, another place we have enjoyed eating at once before. My mum and I both loved the steak sandwich with cheese, onions, lettuce and spicy sauce. Delicious and it warmed us up on a cold day!




After lunch, we hurried home to our gorgeous foster kitten Henry. We don't like to leave him home alone for too long.


He has two moods: 
1. Cheekily scratching and biting us.
2. Sleepy and cuddly.

I prefer the latter!

What have you been up to today?

    It does look cold there, you and your mum look lovely all wrapped up though!
    Henry looks so cheeky. William's a grown-up but h's still torn between those two moods, you never know what you're going to get! xxx

      Henry was so cheeky but cute. We still miss him. He's with his new family now. 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...

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...
