It's a nice day for a white wedding

I wore this outfit to a wedding last weekend.

I'm not usually that keen on going to weddings, but I had a good time. It was an Italian and Macedonian celebration, with music from both cultures so I was in my element as I understood the aspects of both traditions.


 The food was nice, I liked the panna cotta dessert and I had fun dancing - I can't complain! The bride and groom looked so genuinely happy and their joy was contagious.

Initially I wasn't sure what to wear as it was quite a cold day and my formal clothes are more suitable for Summer. I pulled out this floral dress and paired it with my suede vintage shoes and a clutch bag that I recently found at the market. The inner tag on the bag says that the outer section is made of 100% paper, which makes it look like wicker.


I love these shoes. I don't know if they're called lace up shoes or boots. What do you think? 
I don't wear them as often as I should because they're a bit uncomfortable and hurt my ankles.


 At the moment, I've got an abundance of outfit photos so I'll be publishing two blog posts this week. 
See you on Wednesday!

(I saw Billy Idol in a festival concert a few years ago. 
I was actually there to see Cheap Trick, but Billy was okay.
 It was a fun night.)

    That dress is so pretty on you and I'd love to see the original labels on your shoes - I'm obsessed with vintage labels!
    Billy Idol's original band, Generation X, were amazing - I loved Billy Idol back in the day and everyone used to say Jon was just like him ( same peroxide blond hair). King Rocker is still awesome. xxx

      I'll have to remember to take a photo next time.

      I've taken a photo of the Radley of London dress label I've just blogged about. I'm not into brands at all, but that's one that I absolutely love! X

    That is a stunner of a dress, and you are absolutely smashing in it! I agree with Vix, show us the label!

    I remember when "White Wedding" came out - love Billy!

      I'm sure Billy's great, I just wasn't familiar with many of his songs. Still, he was good! 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.
