Friday On My Mind


On Good Friday, my family and I went on a short holiday to Lorne for the Easter long weekend. First thing's first, we stopped at the Chocolaterie on the way. There were lots of Easter displays and even some chocolate shaped as Australian animals!




There were huge bowls of dark, milk and white chocolate chips for visitors to try. Large windows allowed viewers to see the workers making the chocolate. This man was making chocolate covered honeycomb - yum!


Along the Great Ocean Road, there's lots of ocean lookouts.

 
Whatever were we laughing about?


My sister wanted to stop off and look at the lighthouse in Aireys Inlet. There were so many tourist there, including us!



We continued driving the long and very winding road. The road signs warned us that it's quite dangerous driving around and around the steep and narrow roads on the mountain. I was like a baby in a rocking chair, I fell straight to sleep. Good thing I wasn't driving!

When we arrived at the motel, we relaxed for a bit then walked along the beach, browsed the strip of shops and had a gelati (lemon curd and gianduia flavoured- delicious!)

Outfit details:
Vintage tooled bag, brown leather boots and octagon sunglasses: secondhand market finds.
Velvet leopard pants and turtleneck: retail.


Join me on Wednesday for more tales of food and seaside fun at Lorne.

      Thanks, Vix!
      The chocolate animals are so cute. I've never seen anything like it before, so I HAD to take a photo of it!
      Lorne is lovely, I like any place that has a beach! X

      I'm loving these leopard pants - they're so comfy. I'm noticing quite a bit of velvet and cord palazzo pants in the shops lately, so I'm stocking up on them, whist they're available! 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

She's the lady who wears those flashing eyes

    Recently, I've been loving the colour pink. I think it may be because I've been seeing so many reels of cute, pink kitchens on Instagram or perhaps it's because I've been adoring my pink, strawberry jug I shared on my blog recently . Regardless, I've never really paid much attention to the colour pink until recently. I was determined to find a pink dress and luckily I didn't have to look far because I found this pink and red dress at the next opshop I visited, Savers. A bit pricey for opshops ($15.80), but I was happy to purchase this dress because it's beautiful and Sportsgirl sell their dresses for $80+ in their stores.     I had to take my new-to-me dress out for a twirl on a day out to Daylesford with my mum. She wanted to visit the lavender farm again whilst the purple delights were still in bloom.           The scent of lavendar was wonderful. I keep a bag of dried lavender by my bed, it's supposed to help you fall asleep.   We took some natu

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!
