Bésame Mucho

 A little while ago, I won a Yarra cruise trip for two from eating tacos out at Hecho en Mexico! I was so excited, the last time I won something, was a bunny toy when I was 5 years old!

So one Thursday night, I went with my mum. We enjoyed some yummy finger foods, drinks, conversations with other people who'd also won the trip and beautiful views of the river.

I wore a beautiful, blue velvet dress for the occasion with my cream, Afghan-style coat. Both from one of my favourite stores, Tree of Life, I'm convinced they should send me $$ for the amount of times I've referred people onto them! 

The night concluded with a beautiful sunset. Thank you Hecho en Mexico, we had a wonderful time!

    Well done on your win, Jess! I misread at first and thought you'd won a trip to Mexico but the river cruise looks fab - as do you and your Mum! xxx

 Anyone fancy tagging along to lunch and a show? A little while ago, my sister, mum and I went into the city to watch the Shirley Valentine theatre show. Shirley Valentine is a classic movie from 1989 about a 42 year old woman who goes on a trip with her friend to Greece to escape her monotonous lifestyle and she discovers new adventure and independence. It is a funny and moving film that my mum, sister and I have watched many times over the years. Hence we were curious what the theatre show would be like. At the Athenaeum Theatre, Natalie Bassingthwaighte did an amazing job in the one woman show. For the show, my mum and I accidentally ended up both wearing floral dresses, which funnily enough perfectly matched the theme of the show. I also wore my giant butterfly clip in my hair. For lunch, my sister and I both ordered the same thing - bao buns. It was okay but not that nice. The fried zucchini flower salad was a bit more interesting. Before the day was finished, we browse...

Earlier in the year, my family and I visited a strawberry farm in Bacchus Marsh. My sister and I love visiting fruit farms and being able to pick our own fruit! The strawberries were much sweeter and tastier than the bland ones usually found in supermarkets. I was delighted to buy some apples too. They had no wax on which is basically unheard of these days. Next we visited a beautiful, old church. I love how the arches are reminiscent of Noah's Ark. Even the door is purposely designed and ornate. We ended the day with some waffles I made from scratch and ate many more strawberries. Title : Learn to Fly by the Foo Fighters. Please visit my: eBay Store Instagram

How could I ever refuse, I feel like I win when I lose

  Once I find a restaurant I love, I enjoy returning to it from time to time. La Tortelleria in Kensington, Melbourne is one of my favourite little spots to revisit, which you may remember from this post. On this sunny day, I wore my leopard dress (Tree of Life, via eBay), orange, leather sandals (Diana Ferrari) and beaded bag (secondhand market find).  I absolutely love the beef tacos with a consommé sauce. The sauce is what really makes it so memorable. Of course, I can't leave without having the Mexican flan. This is a cake I dream about! Are you a foodie like me?
