Seaside, whenever you stroll along with me

 The Sunday before last, my sister organised for my family, boyfriend and I to eat out at a Japanese all-you-can-eat restaurant called OKAMI. I'm easily amused so I was excited to go and try a new place I'd never eaten at before. I was surprised at how much we all enjoyed the food and my favourites were definitely the prawns, mushroom salad, sashimi and teriyaki beef. I was also very keen to try the carpaccio as I'd never tasted it before but it wasn't quite what I had expected. We tried a bit of everything and finished up with a scoop of homemade matcha icecream for desert - delicious!   

 This is just some of the food we shared. We were too busy eating and didn't take many photos!

 
The next day (Monday), mum and I took my nonna for a day out to Geelong beach. First, we spent some time wandering around the Geelong Vintage Mills Market. My nonna bought a blue mosaic vase for her front room and I was just happy to look around. Mum liked the below jug and glasses set but left it as it was a bit pricey.

 

We ate lunch at a lovely little restaurant by the beach. Of course we had to have linguini pasta with seafood, it's our absolute favourite!

 

After lunch we had a nice stroll down the beach and took some photos with my nonna. Mum and I shared a choc and nut ice-cream from the ice-cream van - divine (I can never resist)! 


Mum wore a gorgeous matching suit that she sewed herself! Isn't she amazing?

My whole outfit is practically made up of my mum's clothing! The cord pants, turtleneck and boots are hers. My boyfriend finds it amusing that we're always clothes swapping and grumpily accusing each other of stealing clothes! The coat, bag and sunnies are mine though, promise!
 

 

 



We went home with happy bellies, some vitamin C from the lovely winter sunshine and some gorgeous views for our eyes. See you in my next blog post!

    So nice to "meet" your boyfriend, Jess! Aw, you're so cute together. Your Japanese food looks mouth-watering - I'm a fan of it (we have tons of Japanese restos here). Love seeing your Nona and Mum (great suit!) and all these lovely pics of the beach. Those painted pilings are so fun!

    Have a great week, my friend!

    Lovely pictures and very cute one of you and your boyfriend Jess :) The food looks delicious! One of my neighbours is Japanese and she says her children won't eat her food. I say she can always bring it round to me! Your mum is very clever making the suit and I find it funny that you and your nonna have the same bag swinging stance. Lulu xXx

      Awww thank you. Yeah he's cute! 😆

      Oh that must be annoying to your Japanese neighbour because the food is delicious.

      I know, mum loves sewing. I'm always trying to get her to sew something for me but she saves her sewing energy for her own creations!

      Isn't that funny, I didn't even notice that about my nonna and I. 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

    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!
