Dreaming of Vintage Treasures

For a foodie, the Conservatory in the city is a dream come true. A beautiful buffet filled with every food imaginable and situated by the water, it is no wonder that my mum and I love returning there a couple of times a year.  We daydream about the fresh seafood, especially the oysters, crabs, prawns and vongole.  There are so many desserts to choose from! This time I enjoyed the tiramisu, strawberries in chocolate, Persian fairy floss and New York cheesecake. It is a gorgeous, fancy place with marble, hanging lights and glitzy costumes near the big entrance that leads up to the restaurant, so naturally we love to dress up.  This time I wore a maroon velvet dress and my vintage fur coat, along with a vintage bag and snake print boots.  My mum wore a beautiful red tartan skirt that she made herself with a denim jacket.

Isn't it so disappointing when you go to a fancy restaurant and spend some big bucks and your meal isn't nice? Next we ventured into Sportsgirl where mum tried on some clothes and I took an outfit selfie in the 360 degrees mirror. I wore my new-to-me, vintage leopard coat which I mentioned in my last post. Mum and I were accidentally twinning as she also chose to wear her leopard coat that day! Not one to be embarrassed by this sort of thing, we laughed about it every time we caught sight of ourselves in a shop window and received quite a few compliments. In the afternoon, we popped into our favourit...
