Just Another Day



 
Ah, a day at the beach! Hope you're not sick of my beach blog posts yet! These photos were taken a few weeks ago when it was hot and muggy all week. In the past, I've always enjoyed summer but this year's humidity has overwhelmed me. What to do but have a day out at the beach!



Mum and I went to Williamstown beach, one of our favourites. First we stopped off at the opshop, and I quickly found a mustard, carved Bakelite bangle for $2!! They sell for $100+ in vintage stores so I was stoked to add this to my collection. 



 
 
Outfit details:
Umbrella to shield us from the sun - mum found this at a market.
Mexican dress ($3), woven bag ($15), sunglasses ($2) - market finds.
Spanish made sandals ($8) - brand new from an opshop!

You don't have to spend heaps to dress up or feel cute!
 
 
Then we made our way to the gorgeous pier and admired the sparking water and white boats. One boat was named 'Another Day,' which quickly prompted us to sing the catchy Paul McCartney song of the same name.



 
For lunch, we ate fish and chips with scallops and a Greek salad. The lady at the shop cheekily tried to rip me off by charging me $20 for extra chips that I hadn't ordered. She probably thought I was a young, timid tourist but of course I spoke up and got the $20 back. 


Before returning home we made an obligatory visit to our favourite icecream shop and we were dismayed that they weren't selling our go-to ginger icecream. I got a strawberry icecream instead, and it did not disappoint. It reminded me of the delicious strawberry sundae we had in Rosebud last Easter! 

 Although we did wonder, when oh when will the ginger icecream with lots of crystalised ginger pieces return? I might have to learn how to make it myself, I think!

    It is, in fact, a pleasure to see your beach posts pop up, especially on grey and rainy days like today!
    I'm quite envious of your Bakelite bangle, and yes, you are right: you don't have to spend much money to dress up and look fabulous. And you'll feel even better when you know you haven't spent the earth and are being sustainable at the same time!
    I'm quite envious of that plate of fish and chips too! xxx

    Another fab post Jess, and no, I don't ever tire of sunny beach shots. Fab find with the bakelite bangle. Love your Mexican dress. It is a shame you don't live closer, my mam gave me a load of crystalised ginger that I'm struggling to use up! 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!
