Here we stand or here we fall, history don't care at all

Hello!


I've had a weekend full of planning for the last few weeks of school and watching movies. On Saturday night, I started to watch Schindler's List, which I've seen one or two times before.

I'd been reminded of the film as my mum had been watching a short documentary on director Steven Spielberg earlier in the week. Schindler's List is such a sad movie, I'm sure I'll cry my way through it when I get a chance to watch the rest of it (it's quite a long movie).

My sister won two free movie tickets again  (she's the queen of it!), so on Sunday, I went to watch Bohemian Rhapsody again. My dad is a fan of Queen and hadn't seen the film yet, so we went together.

There weren't as many people watching it as the first time I went, so the audience's reactions and laughter weren't quite the same. At times, my dad was scratching his head (which he sometimes does when he's thinking critically about something), so I thought he wasn't really enjoying the film. Turns out he actually did, and he was singing along at the end of it!

I enjoyed the film just as much as I did the last time and had the same surreal feeling, like I was really there at the concerts!


I wanted to wear something fab to the movie so I based my whole outfit around these snake print boots. My vintage bag was made in Italy and it felt perfectly in place when we later had lunch at Italian restaurant Brunetti, which is conveniently right next to the cinema.



I love these plastic bracelets. I bought the bottom one just last week.


The denim overalls were nice and comfortable. I bought them at a market last year, and luckily they fit perfectly. It was a bit of a risk buying them - there's no changing room at markets!


How was your weekend?

    Your dungarees are great, a fabulous fit and the zip at the back adds some extra pzazz! I love the handle on your bag and the snakeskin boots are lovely.
    I don't think i could watch Schindler's List again, a stunning film but so harrowing. The normally lovely Ralph Fiennes was just pure evil.
    Have you seen Life is Beautiful? I'm sure you'd enjoy it. xxx

      Thanks Vix!
      There's nothing like some real tragedy to put your own worries into perspective, that's exactly how I felt watching Schindler's List.
      I think I watched a bit of Life is Beautuful a few years ago but don't remember it too well. X

    Ooh, those overalls look fabulous on you! I adore the snakeskin boots and don't they look awesome with the bag?? So cute. I really want to see the Queen movie!

      Hi Shiela, thanks, I like the combination of the boots, bag and overalls too.
      Do give it a watch whenever you get a chance. 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.
