Dreaming of Vintage Treasures

  May is a month of celebrations in my home. My family and I celebrated Mother's Day two weeks ago and had a lovely day out in the city. We ate lunch at Brunetti's and I enjoyed the most delicious seafood pasta and desserts with my family. We wandered around the city which we don't often do, and it was a nice day. On Friday it was my mum's birthday and we celebrated with a nice lunch at Arundel Farm Estate, a place I've visited for Christmas work parties in the past.   We loved seeing the horses and donkeys before eating some pasta (what else?) for lunch. My dad's homemade pasta with ragu was delicious as was my sister's beetroot and goat cheese salad. The sun came out and sprinkled us with some vitamin C. Another lovely day.       Outfit details: Snake print suit - Zara. The jacket was actually a birthday gift after I'd bought the skirt on eBay. Vintage bag - $10 market find. Boots - borrowed from my mum.   This week, I'm looking forward to my bi

Hello! Hope you're well! Yesterday I had a 21st birthday dinner to attend and this is what I wore: Rust coloured turtleneck and snake print boots (retail). Red velvet skirt (mum's). Pear shaped amber pendant (eBay bargain). I hadn't worn these boots in ages so I thought it was time to give them a whirl. This velvet skirt is actually a dress, a hand-me down from mum. It's not particularly flattering on my tummy so I was going to sell it but then I had the bright idea to wear a top over it and voila! Problem solved! It's that time of year again where I spend some time each weekend working on my student's reports. I like to wake up on a Saturday and/or Sunday, have breakfast and then spend a few hours chipping away at them. Then I feel I can relax and enjoy the rest of the day. I have some holiday photos to share but that'll have to be for another time- there's so many photos to sort through!  Hope you're having a lovely day. X  Title: Gypsy by Fleetw
