And so this is Christmas...

I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas! I was so happy to catch up with some family friends on Christmas Eve for a sunny picnic. The food was delicious and the company was even better. I also enjoyed spending Christmas Day visiting my dedo with my family and then having lunch with my boyfriend's family. 







On my sister's birthday a few days ago, she wanted to go out for fish and chips for dinner and look at some Christmas lights, so that's exactly what we did. The Christmas lights were truly amazing and so over the top!







Earlier in the month, my family, boyfriend and I also visited the Myer Christmas windows after we went out to a German restaurant for my parents' anniversary. I loved the Mickey and Minnie Mouse window the best, as well as the Lion King window.






What did you get up to this holiday season? I hope you're having a joyful and peaceful time whatever you're up to.

    Sounds like you had the most wonderful Christmas, Jess! Mine was a bit low key this year as I'm still recovering from flu. I loved visiting the Christmas lights and the Myer Christmas windows vicariously with you! xxx

    Oh who's that little cutie in the white hat!? Those decorations are CRAZY! What a hoot. Ingenious for someone to turn their ball bushes into giant puddings. Lovely pictures Jess. We had a lovely day with the family. The kids weren't up too early & Monsieur cooked a fab Christmas dinner (he rarely cooks but when he does, it is always good) xXx

      Hi Lulu!
      That's my friend Renee's daughter. She's so adorable, I love her.
      I know, what a creative idea to make the giant pudding decorations.
      That sounds like a perfect Christmas you had. 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

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!

I go leaps and bounds

A few weeks ago, my mum, dad and I spent the day in Geelong, catching up with some family and friends. Julie, Andy and their children were down from Queensland for the weekend to watch their son Joel play football, so it was a perfect chance to catch up.  It was nice watching the game, chatting and laughing non-stop. This bunch are always cracking jokes and I delighted in our giggles. Being outside all day, I rugged up in my new fluffy coat, my Christmas present from mum this year. I squeezed in a sneaky wear of it before I wrapped it up in Christmas paper.  My mum has a maroon Afghan coat and a tan one, which I sometimes borrow. You may recall them from my blog posts here and here . Now I have one of my own, thank you mum! I practically pounced on it, when I saw it on sale. I've been secondhand shopping for so long, I forgot that retail stores have end of season sales! The coat kept me toasty all day, even into the night as we headed to a pub hotel for a final gathering and chat.
