That is how I know you go on

A little while ago, my sister organised a night out to visit the Titanic Exhibition in Melbourne with my mum and I. Titanic has always been one of my favourite movies and I have read various books on the ship and story of the Titanic, so I was fascinated to see the pieces that were salvaged from the sinking of the ship.

The exhibition had a high tea area with gorgeous wallpaper.




Of course, I had to wear my replica hair piece like the one Rose wears in Titanic.


Steering wheel

Barometer

Recreated doors






Coins


Mesh bag and jewellery



Glasses



Plates with brown and pink freesia design








It was amazing to see the intricate, detailed ceiling. I love how the Titanic film recreated the ceiling from the actual ship! 



So many people were lined up to take a photo by the stairs so we took some quick snaps then continued through the exhibition.






This created iceberg mimicked the temperature of the water on the night of the Titanic's sinking. It demonstrates how freezing the water was.


I thought this gold watch was the most beautiful piece in the exhibition. 


Beyond admiring or wondering about the pieces and who they belonged to, I liked how the exhibition highlighted the frailty of life and the story behind the Titanic and the 1,517 people whose lives were lost in its sinking.

What was most interesting artefact to you from this exhibition?

    You look fabulous Jess, I love your outfit. I've never seen Titanic but, like most folk, do find the story very poignant. I did post a photo of the tombstone of a local man who was a member of the Titanic's orchestra and lost his life. HERE: https://vintagevixon.blogspot.com/2022/02/cemetary-gates.html
    That hair slide you're wearing is very pretty and I love the wallpaper. xxx

    Wow, that wallpaper is stunning, Jess! I gasped over your hair ornament! What a fun exhibit (and of course, somber). Thank you for sharing all these pictures! Love your outfit, and good to see your mum!

    What a lovely outing! The Titanic Exhibition sounds like such a fascinating experience, especially with your love for the movie and the history surrounding the ship. It must have been incredible to see the salvaged items in person – I bet they really brought the story to life.

    Your replica hairpiece is such a fun touch! It’s a nod to Rose and a little bit of movie magic. The high tea area with the gorgeous wallpaper sounds like a nice way to enjoy the day too. I’m sure the recreated doors and the steering wheel were highlights as well .

      Hi Melody, thanks for your lovely comment!

      It was amazing to see. And a great reminder that Titanic is not just a famous movie, but a real tragedy. X

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...

 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...

Ahh December, what a month you were! Racing to the end of the work year, enjoying Christmas gatherings, watching a Christmas movie or two and having the weather heat up in Melbourne. My December began with my boyfriend's birthday. We went out to a Korean BBQ restaurant for dinner and I made him a tiramisu cake. Isn't he cute? A week later, my sister surprised my family and I with a pistachio panettone from Cannoli Bar . The pistachio cream was delicious and the highlight of the panettone. My mum wanted to do a small Christmas lunch this year with my family, uncle and boyfriend. Thank you mum, everything was delicious. We chatted the day away and listened to old 70s and 80s songs.  For my sister's birthday, I made another tiramisu cake and got her yellow roses and a pair of black Converse runners which she loves to wear. She is the most beautiful, smart, caring, supportive sister and friend I could ask for. In my mind, we are always this little together. My mum and I also to...
