Surviving 46ºC


It is for this reason that Summer is my least favourite season. During the heat wave this week I was cursing our air conditioner for not working properly and trying not to melt when I walked from the house to my car.

Luckily I was given a few days off work. So my Brother, Sister and I drove to Ocean grove for a day at the beach. 

It is located on the South Coast of Victoria. Only about a 1.5 hour drive from Melbourne


I woke up an went for a walk on the beach. The weather was perfect. It made me think how if I lived at the beach I would without a doubt go for early morning runs or a swim. Even ride a bike along the tracks behind the dunes. 

By the time I finished my walk it was already boiling and it was only 9:30am.

I spent a good 4 hours at the beach. No matter how much sunscreen I had on I still managed to get uncomfortably sunburnt.

Ocean grove is adjacent to nearby town Barwon Heads. The two only being separated by the Barwon river. The small town has a main shopping strip with the most gorgeous boutique stores. Post coming up in the next few days with what I bought!

We then returned to Ocean Grove and I couldn't help myself when I saw Serendipity D'Lites Frozen Yogurt shop. Fro-Yo is my weakness! I got raspberry and pomegranate yoghurt with good old original yoghurt and fresh strawberries on top. 

                               
But that didnt stop me. I got yoghurt again for breakfast the next morning when I ate at The Dunes cafe over looking the beach.

                             

                         

Later that day we headed back into melbourne to watch Serena Williams vs Daniela Hantuchova and David Ferrer vs Jeremy Chardy at the Australian Open tennis grand slam.

                               

I wrapped my entire body in a towel to protect my burnt skin from the sun. I was actually sweating just sitting in my seat it was that hot! But it was totally worth it to see Aussie Casey Dellacqua win and progress to the fourth round.

 I won't bore you anymore with my love of yoghurt and  complaining about the heat. I will say that I am very very greatful for the cooler weather this week!

Sorry for the terrible photos, I forgot my good camera so had to make do with my phone.

Stay tuned for my post on what I bought in Barwon Heads!

Spring Racing

As you can tell by the title this post is well overdue, as it is now well and truly summer.

I love the races. The fashion, the champagne, of course the horses matter too. But primarily I love seeing what the celebs are wearing to the race that stops a nation.

A spring racing outfit should be elegant and flattering. Girly and fresh.

If I had all the time in the world, I would have put a bit more of an effort into my outfit. However the country racing carnival that I attended was a bit more low key than those at Flemmington.
