Girls just want to have fun

 

 Oh, to think I am still posting photos from my summer holidays! It is now Autumn here in Melbourne but I am so behind in posting. So much so that I had to take a break from blogging for a few weeks. Plus life gets in the way, but I'm back!


 On this warm summer's day mum and I had a great day out at Geelong beach. First we went to the vintage Mills Market. I was in more of a browsing mood and was just happy to look.



We also went for a walk along the beach. I noticed a big carousal right by the beach and we happily paid $9 each for a ride. It was amazing being up in the air, looking down at the glistening, blue water from above.


 



For lunch we returned to a favourite Greek restaurant that we've visited before. I had a souvlaki and mum had a moussaka but they must've changed owners or something because the food was disappointing compared to the delicious food we've feasted on in the past. The elderly couples sitting behind me were making us laugh with all their talk of Donald Trump.



Before we returned home, we had to have a bit of a 'sip and sea' - sipping elder-flower cordial and tonic while sitting by the sea. It was so relaxing, I HATED having to leave!


Outfit details:

Green tree of Life maxi dress- hand me down from mum.

Fish pendant (just HAD to wear this at the beach): Secondhand market trade.

Double braids: A new hairstyle I've been wearing. I like simple tied-back styles.


A few days after these photos were taken, it was another blazing hot day and I had lunch at a cafe with Sam, my old friend from uni. I love chattering away with her and laughing about all our funny teaching experiences. Before I know it, I'll be on holidays soon and no doubt be catching up with her. Time flies!

What have you been up to?

    Glad I'm not the only one behind in blogging :-)
    What a lovely day you and your Mum had. I wouldn't mind having a browse at that vintage market, and I think that Ferris wheel is the most beautiful one I've ever laid eyes on.
    I love the idea of a 'sip and sea' ! xxx

    Oh, that blue sky! I miss it so much! You and Mum look like you had a wonderful time, from strolling on the beach to browsing the market (I can't turn off my "eye" when I'm in a store - I would have found something, for sure!). You both look lovely, and yes, of course you had to wear your fish pendant! I love elderflower - such a refreshing taste!

  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!
