Op Shops and Beaches...

Holidays. When everything else fails, it's something quick and easy my mum does; announce that we're going away, and pack the car so that we can't argue with her. To be honest, I enjoy it; after all, what's to complain about a weekend down the coast, swimming, reading, and eating freddo frogs with your grandpa? It's honestly too cold to swim this weekend, but hey, you can't have everything in life.

And you know what else is awesome about the coast? The op shops! In the past few days my love for them has been intensified, as I've discovered some real little gems. The doc martens and boots that I told you about in a previous post are a little small now, and with the certainty that my feet will grow even more before winter I hit up the op shop for a new pair of boots. I really like my new ones - they're a really retro style, and they look super cool. I got a denim vest and a headscarf to go with them, so at the mo I'm rocking the vintage retro look, which is cool. Once I get some more pocket money I plan to try and look for some dresses to go with my look. Since my parents don't really want to fund my clothes spree, op shops are also useful for that reason - they're within my budget!

Right now I'm at my pop's house, typing this post. I plan to try and include some pictures below but you're probably going to have to wait for a bit - I don't have a camera and my mum's photo album is full. However, I am hoping to upload them at some point, so stay tuned for that.

Well, I guess it's time to go raid the freddo frog bag!
