I'll be there for you when the rain starts to pour

Hello! I currently have time off for Easter school holidays- how exciting! I love having more time to go on day trips, catch up with friends, stay at home all day, visit my Nonna more and spend time on a teaching project I have to do. Whew, all that and I've got to find some time to relax too. 


I love spending time in my back garden to relax. Look at my ever-growing pumpkin plant! I chopped off the very first pumpkin the other day. 


Now what to make with it... 
Pumpkin soup
Pumpkin scones (my sister makes them and they're delicious!)
or
Roast pumpkin and vegetables? 
Got any other ideas? Do tell.


This pink dress is so light and perfect for hot weather. I wore it for my family friend's 30th birthday a few weeks ago and it's so easy to wear. Throw it on, add a necklace, a silver bangle and matching silver block heeled shoes. And the pale pink glasses match the dress perfectly. I blame my love and collection of sunglasses (mostly second hand market finds) on Liam Gallagher!


Here are some of my recent market finds... 


 Vintage bag - $15. (I've seen bags like this on eBay for $400+!)

Vintage plaid skirt - $5 (I hear plaid is all the rage this year! Not that I'm fussed, I wear what I like and I hope you do too)

Swedish clogs- $10. I found this exact same pair in silver last year.
A stack of vintage tea plates - $3

Shine Like it Does: Michael Hutchence book - $5

and 

All ten seasons of Friends- $5 (!!!)


A few years ago, I watched all the seasons of Friends and now I'm thrilled to own them for $5, that's only 50 cents per season! I'm currently up to season 6. I love watching one or two episodes after work, it helps me relax and makes me laugh!

See you next week in a new blog post!

    You look a vision of summer while I'm shivering in my winter clothes! What a pretty dress.
    South Indian curries often have pumpkin in them, I love them. I'm very impressed that you managed to grown one!
    Well done on your flea market finds and have a fab Easter holiday! x

      Thanks you for your kind words, Vix.

      A pumpkin curry sounds interesting. I've got more pumpkins growing, I'm so excited about it! X

    What a lovely dress, and you look gorgeous in it, Jess! I love pumpkin - I usually add cooked chunks of it to my chili. Good on you with that lush garden - I am such a brown thumb. I love your clogs, and wow, that is a LOT of Friends!

      That's a good idea for the pumpkins!

      It is a lot of Friends, I can't believe I scored all 10 seasons in one go! 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!
