Now it's gone, it doesn't matter what for



The other day, I wore this outfit to work.
I always feel a bit like I'm channeling Stevie Nicks when I wear this shirt.

The sleeves are enormous! 
I just had to pose dramatically to show them off!




I also wore my new-to-me Italian made clogs, which you may have spotted in this post. 




Being part Italian myself, I love finding items made in Italy. 
Growing up, I remember my mum and nonna telling me that most things that were made in Italy are of really good quality. So now every time I buy something made in Italy, I love to show it to my nonna. So far I've been able to show her an Italian-made bangle and bag that I bought from a market, and I'm eager to show her my clogs too.




As much as I love the look of them, I have to admit, they aren't the most comfortable shoes in the world. When I saw fellow vintage collector Candice wearing a pair of tan clogs, I asked her if hers are uncomfortable too. She agreed that both her modern and vintage clogs are uncomfortable, perhaps because the sole cannot be bent.




Nevertheless, I love my clogs and will just have to wear them on days when I know I won't be walking too much.


What's been your experience with clogs?
Do you have anything that you love despite their level of comfort?

    What a pretty top, it looks lovely on you.
    I love finding anything that was made in Europe, we produce so little these days you can almost guarantee its vintage!
    I've got Lotta of Stockholm clogs and they are incredible. I walked around Corfu in them for a week and never got a single blister. They aren't the cheapest but they are the best! x

  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.
