Memories, pressed between the pages of my mind

 

While recently sorting through old photos, I stumbled upon some pictures I'd completely forgotten about   — there I was, long curly hair tumbling down my shoulders, 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 fixating on tiny flaws or 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 outfits) of my life.

 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?
