The Sapphires...

I am a huuuuuuuuge fan of Australian films so when I heard that the musical "The Sapphires was being adapted for the big screen featuring one of my all-time favourite Aussie actors Deborah Mailman...I squealed. LOL. This was the most exciting news for my sister and I. The Sapphires is set in the 50's-60's which had my roomies (my sis, niece and cousin) and I wear some 50's & 60's inspired outfits to watch our most anticipated movie of the year! Some may think this is totes daggy or shame but honestly...we don't currrrrr haha. We are living in a country town at the moment due to teaching work so it was inevitable that we got some curious looks being so "dressed up just for the movies" but it made the viewing all that much more fun. Our beautiful mami and our friend Malo, her little sister and her mum came along too so it was a ladies night! :)

The Sapphires is the most heart-warming, hilariously, amazing film that depicts true adversities met by Indigenous Australians of that era and how four beautiful women followed their dreams of singing all the way to Vietnam to sing for soldiers serving in the Vietnam War at the time. The movie had me bursting out with in-containable laughter one second, sobbing tears the next only to have me cracking up the second later. IT WAS SOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOD! Yes, the many o's are necessary! haha :) If you haven't seen it already, please educate yourself with this piece of Aussie film magic!! Oh and the soundtrack....damn ; get that too!! 

Here is my OOTN:

Ball buster...

My sister calls me a ball buster...She does this because I'm the one that is constantly policing things (or telling everyone what to do is what she says lol) that are going on in the house to make sure things don't get left undone. That makes me sound so boring...I'm not though I promise, haha. If you don't know me I love spending most of my time being ridiculous. I get in trouble a lot for making random noises, talking jibberish and making fun out of boring situations. I guess this all comes from being an Early Childhood Teacher. Being dull is such a drag so I'm always making a noise or sparking conversation in the "awkward silence". This is me MOST of the time but when it comes down to business and things need to get done I become what my sister calls the "enforcer" and just make sure that what needs to be done is done. SO SUE ME...hahaha :)

This brings me to the point that I'm trying to make. My sister calls me the ball buster when it comes to that sort of stuff but something I think she doesn't know is the way she busts my bloody balls when it comes to a part of my life I loooooove but somehow ALWAYS manage to put on the back burner and something she has become quite proficient in keeping regularly on top of...THIS BLOGGING BUSINESS!! LOL. She started a blog a couple of years back (Falala Mele) and its super cool...check out her stuff. Her blog inspired me to start my own and I am yet to get it to a place where I'm happily cruising but I'm getting there...I hope. ANYWAYS, she constantly reminds me & encourages me to put new stuff up on here and I'm constantly forgetting/running out of time/being lazy when the opportunity presents itself so LONG story short I am finally sharing some photos of our (my sis, niece & cuz) last trip to Melbourne City with our lovely ladies.

I looooooove when we get together because we all have such a different, cool and eclectic sense of style that I only really notice when I look back at pics and it just make my insides smile! lol. So this one is for you all but especially for my sister who I thank for the inspiration to share style, fashion, ideas, beauty and confidence.
