Dreaming of Vintage Treasures

 A day in the city! In the past, I didn't really enjoy going to the city, but recently I have learnt to love it. Nice food in cafes, little tea rooms, clothing stores, these are the places I enjoy. Recently my mum and I went to the city to have lunch at Florentino. I enjoyed my duck ragu tagliatelle although my mum was disappointed with her linguine with (not so fresh) seafood. Isn't it so disappointing when you go to a fancy restaurant and spend some big bucks and your meal isn't nice? Next we ventured into Sportsgirl where mum tried on some clothes and I took an outfit selfie in the 360 degrees mirror. I wore my new-to-me, vintage leopard coat which I mentioned in my last post. Mum and I were accidentally twinning as she also chose to wear her leopard coat that day! Not one to be embarrassed by this sort of thing, we laughed about it every time we caught sight of ourselves in a shop window and received quite a few compliments. In the afternoon, we popped into our favourit...

 A little while ago, my family and I attended a multicultural event that my sister and her work colleagues organised for the council. I got to taste First Nations food, Turkish Lebanese cakes, bubble tea and get my hand decorated in henna. There was a singing workshop, dumplings cooking class and Bollywood dancing lesson too. I can't believe my sister helped organise all that!     My mum and I also recently attended a bridal shower for my family friend Sharna. I wore my maroon velvet dress and snakeprint boots for the occasion.           Flowers for Sharna.          It was nice chatting to her and her family and the Italian food was delicious too.   We took a polaroid photo as we entered and wrote Sharna a message in a guest book.        I've known Sharna since we were children, with our mums being friends since their 20s, and I'm so happy to be celebrating a special time in her life. I can't wait ...
