If I needed someone to love, you're the one that I'd be thinking of


Hello! I feel like I've been away from Blogland for what seems like forever but in reality it's only been 3 weeks! Just writing a quick blog post to say hello. I hope you're all doing well.

 

The last couple of weeks have been busy. I've had the pleasure of watching my sister's theatre show 'Everyone in Famous' twice. She's such a clever actor, I love seeing her performances which are always funny, deep and thought-provoking. This was her last show as part of the youth group as she is now deemed "too old" even though she's only in her early twenties. Nevermind, I'm sure she'll get involved in another performing community soon.

 

I also had Orthodox Easter last Sunday, which was one month after the Catholic Easter this year. Double the fun and food, I say. My dad's side of the family came over for a lovely lunch that my mum cooked.

On Saturday I had my dear friend Deana's wedding. After having to reschedule her wedding last year due to COVID-19, she was so happy and relieved to finally get married. Beaming and smiling all day, Deana looked like a real life princess in her wedding dress. I'm so happy for her and couldn't help but shed some happy tears during her first wedding dance. 

 

Mother's Day (yesterday) was spent with my mum and some of her side of the family. We went out for lunch before walking over the football. The Bulldogs won in a close game against Carlton, so my football-mad dad was happy. 

The last few months have been extra special as I've been loving spending time with my boyfriend Pat. Yes, you read that right, chronically-single me has found herself a lovely boyfriend. He's slowly meeting some of my loved ones and maybe I'll share a photo of us on here one day.

  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!
