At anytime an invitation you can't decline




On Saturday night, my mum and I went to a family friend's Mexican themed party! Luckily, I already had this red dress in my wardrobe, so I didn't have to quickly go out and buy something I'd probably never wear again. This vintage dress was a $5 market find. In fact, except for the hair flower I borrowed from my mum, everything I'm wearing was a market find. The boots and belt are vintage too.




Everyone at the party got into the dressing-up spirit, one lady even dressed up as an avocado! We were also asked to bring a plate of food and I made some vegetarian mini pizzas. My mum and I loved all the Mexican food that people made, so much so that I decided to make some for dinner on Sunday. Corn chips, homemade salsa and guacamole- yum!




It was nice to meet some new people at the party. We even played some party games! My favourite was 'musical hats' where we had to grab a sombrero every time the Mexican music stopped. We were howling with laughter!


The weekend went by way too quickly, didn't it?
How was yours?


I'll see you in a new post on Wednesday about my trip to St. Kilda beach and the city.


(I'm still thinking about how much I loved the new Queen film Bohemian Rhapsody.)

    Ooh, I want to see that movie! I love that song.

    You look amazing in this! I love the bold turquoise/red combination and the red lipstick is perfect! That sounds like a really fun party! Hope you have a wonderful week!

    You both look amazing - I love both your dresses. A sure sign of having the right wardrobe is that you don't need to rush out and buy something when you're invited anywhere! xxx

  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.
