Dreaming of Vintage Treasures

 Ahhh Southbank!  A beautiful place with many wonderful restaurants and a view of the river.  Once in a while, my mum and I love to return there for a fancy day out to Conservatory , which is a buffet restaurant with delicious food.  The seafood is the highlight, and we dream of the oysters, crabs and prawns.  Every time we eat way too much food, promise ourselves we won't return and then magically find our way back there six months later! For the occassion, I wore my blue maxi dress for the first time, paired with my orange, leather sandals.  With my freshly henna-ed hair, plus the colour combination of blue and orange, I feel like Ariel the mermaid. My mum wore her gorgeous ditsy floral dress and some comfy sandals. If you could eat anything in the world, irrespective of cost, what would it be? X Title : Radio by Lana Del Rey.

  While recently sorting through old photos, I stumbled upon some pictures I'd completely forgotten about. There I was, long curly hair, wearing a denim dress I used to love, and bold orange boots that always made me feel like I'd could be one of Charlie's Angels. These photos were taken in early 2021, I'm pretty sure I was going on a date to Cannoli Bar at the time. Some things never change... I still love a cute outfit and eating a pistachio cannoli! You know that feeling when you look back at old photos and think,  “Wait… I looked amazing!” ? It’s funny how often we don’t see it in the moment, too busy worrying about things that, in hindsight, didn’t matter at all. It’s such a common experience, and yet each time it happens, it feels a little profound  like a gentle reminder that we’re usually far more beautiful than we realised. I'm so happy I've kept a blog post throughout the years. It's like a time capsule, where I can look back on highlights (and out...

 A post of old photos I found from 2021... These photos were taken at Geelong Beach on a cold day. I wore my patchwork leather skirt which I remember being delighted at finding in an opshop. This Afghan style coat was a favourite of mine and I used to wear it all the time.  My mum and I explored the botanic gardens and strolled along the beach, enjoyed seafood pasta for lunch, rode a beautiful yellow carousel and a towering ferris wheel, and even took a train ride! I’m amazed we fit it all into one day! I love how silly and sassy I was in these photos. At times, gazing up at towering trees or the vastness of the stars makes us acutely aware of just how small we are. It's a reminder to enjoy life and not take it so seriously.
