Even my old man looks good


Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there! 
I know Father's Day is a hard day for a lot of people who have lost their father and for many dads who don't get to spend this day with their children. 


I am really grateful that I've got a good relationship with my dad. Sometimes we annoy each other, but I can tell him anything and I adore him.


Yesterday we began the Father's Day celebrations by spending the day at the beach. It was the last day of Winter in Melbourne and the sun came out to play.


I love being by the beach and am always sad to leave.

For lunch, we had a big share platter of meat, roasted potatoes and vegetables and then had an ice-cream as we walked on the pier.


Mmmm, limoncello gelati, it was just as delicious as the lemon sorbet I made last week! 


I joked to my mum that this boat looks like a yellow submarine (Beatles reference! Although it's not really a submarine.)


I liked pairing this leopard turtleneck with these snake print boots and my new-to-me 1970s tooled handbag. The green belt is also vintage and I was thinking of selling it, but now I'm not so sure. I like how it goes with the emerald satin skirt.
Outfit details:
Satin skirt, leopard turtleneck, coral and snake rings- secondhand market finds.
Tooled belt and bag- vintage market finds.
Boots- bought online, retail.



My mum was so excited about her blue, vintage trench coat that she op-shopped a few days ago. She's really cute, isn't she? And check out her fluffy leopard bag, we both love leopard print.

And here's a photo of my dad and I. Of course, he's rocking his Western Bulldogs jumper. Other than being a mad Bulldogs supporter, my dad is also very funny and hardworking. Like me, he likes a good rockin' tune and he even introduced me to AC/DC, The Sunnyboys and Queen! Don't get him started on singing though, 'cause just like the Rolling Stones, once you start him up, he never stops.




Today, we had my Dedo and uncle over for Father's Day lunch. The rain held off until the afternoon and we were able to have a feast outside in the sunshine.

I hope it's sunny wherever you are. See you next week.

    Happy Father's Day to you and your dad! Our Father's Day is in June (like the US), and although I lost my dad 22 years ago, I still think of him and wish I could see him again.

    Love your mum's blue trench - gorgeous colour! - and both of you have stellar accessories game going on! I'm in love with your snakeskin boots!

    What a fab skirt, you were right to keep it, it looks brilliant with the other elements of your outfit.
    Always great to see your Mum and Dad, they're so cool.

  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

    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!
