So uneasy, lay your your head on these weary shoulders...

 Have you seen the new movie Avator: Way of Water?

That's the next thing we did on our Eden holiday. It was a long movie and we were in a little, squashy old movie theatre but we enjoyed the visuals. Turned out James Cameron (of 'Titanic'!!!) directed the film. The movie went for 3 hours so we ended up having a late lunch of kebabs at 4pm and then we popped into an art gallery and bookstore.


Outfit details:
Dress ($10) and shoes ($5): market finds.
Bag ($4) and sunglasses ($2): Opshop finds.
Turquoise pendant: A gift from my family friends.
An outfit for $21!



The next day, we went to Nethercote Falls. My boyfriend and I were fascinated by the river geodes (rocks) and tried to find some with crystals inside them. We found one with a white and light purple crystal inside!!





Then we went to Squeaky Beach (a place where the sand squeaks with each step you take), ate some oysters, prawns and pies for lunch. The seafood was delicious! We had fun walking up and down the beach, spotting crabs and tiny pink shells.







The night ended with my boyfriend and I making bolognese fettuccine for dinner and we ate in front of the cabin and watched the red/purple/pink sky. It was beautiful.

I'm getting towards the end of my holiday posts. I hope you stick around for the next one.

    What a wonderfully relaxing holiday you've had! I particularly love the sight (and sound!) of Squeaky Beach, and how wonderful to have found a river geode! You are looking fabulous in your $ 21 outfit! xxx

  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.
