If you ask me to, I will

A day trip to Daylesford is something my mum and I always look forward to each time I'm on term holidays. On this icy cold, foggy morning, we decided to spend a few hours at the vintage Mills Market, filled with many stalls.    Here's some interesting things I spotted... A giant brass skull $1295 Pretty, golden ornaments. I especially adored the sacred heart. Have you ever seen a sparkly Mary? My mum and I have been looking for the perfect Mary for years and this was a strong contender! Although, at $145, it didn't come home with us. Vintage tube bag, $48 More Mary statues. I've never seen a Mary with blonde hair. A giant elephant statue. It looked so real, I was scared to touch it! Some red ladybugs to match my red outfit! In winter, I like wearing a woollen dress, long boots and a big coat.  This painting reminds me of the one in E ver After . Such cute Flinstone ornaments. For lunch, we returned to our favourite cafe The Convent and I got us lunch. I enjoyed a slow ...

End of the season

 A beach can be a beautiful and peaceful place even on a cold, windy day. The sound of the waves crashing against the shore can be relaxing and calming. The cool breeze makes the fresh ocean air feel refreshing and clean. The cloudy water and grey clouds drifting across the sky give the beach a quiet, secluded feeling. A big, fluffy coat becomes a necessity, as does keeping a respectful distance while taking photos of the black swans. Still, I'm looking forward to warmer days and a beach full of sunshine.

I see trees of green, red roses too

 What's your go-to winter outfit? Lately, I've been loving wearing a velvet skirt, leather boots and a wool turtleneck. Topped with a cute bag, my outfit is complete. Hope you don't get bored of seeing my 'uniform' on this blog! This vintage snakeskin bag has beautiful tones of orange and brown and I like how it matches my hair colour. This particular day began with a visit to Canolli Bar , where I really enjoyed a pistachio canolli.  Then my mum and I went for a long walk by the river. We admired the trees, greenery and sounds of birds singing. Look at these two cute cockatoos! What are you up to today? X Title : What a Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong.

You say he loves you more than me, so I will set you free, go with him

On my last work holidays, my mum and I went on some nice winter walks and went out to eat a few times. One morning, we went to my favourite, Canolli Bar . I so enjoyed the Sicilian canolli filled with not-too-sweet ricotta, some chocolate chips and it was topped with a glazed cherry and orange rind. It was so, so delicious, I really loved it! Next, we went for a leisurely walk in the sunshine and found some beautiful trees with orange leaves. For lunch, we went to The Boathouse near the Maribyrnong River. I was still so full after eating the canolli so I just ordered something small. The beetroot and gin cured salmon turned out to be so delicious, I really enjoyed it. A beautiful view from the table. I leave you with some photos of the flowers I've been admiring in my vases. I love flowers, they give me so much joy. What has been giving you joy lately? X Title : Anna (Go to him) by The Beatles.

What better place to wear your favorite purple dress than a lavender farm?  Long time readers may remember that my mum and I love returning to Daylesford's Lavandula Farm. With a cluster of historic golden-stone farm structures dating from the 1850s, it is a beautiful sight to see. In addition, the gardens are always lovely to roam around. Yes I tasted these sweet grapes and rang the copper bell! Even the animals are a joy to observe! I can't wait to return next work holidays. I've run out of their lavender cream that I love using on my face. What are you up to today? X Title :  Somewhere Over the Rainbow by  Israel Kamakawiwo'ole.

The sweetest dream would never do

Image
 I had a beautiful birthday this year. I spent time with my loved ones, moments I treasure. I took a flexi day off work and my mum took me to lunch at our new favourite cafe  The Glass Den . We both ordered truffled mushrooms on toasted focaccia topped with creamy burrata and a swirl of herb oil! It tasted delicious and I enjoyed every bite. So enjoyable that my mum and I decided to go to the supermarket and buy all the ingredients to make the same thing for dinner! How funny is that!  After lunch, we wandered around the Coburg Lake Park and admired the trees and lake. I wore my 100% wool dress under my sunflower Afghan coat to keep me warm. We stopped off to drop some things off at an op-shop then went home to a delightful   Basque cheesecake that my sister made me. Title : I Don't Want to Miss a Thing by  Aerosmith .
