It was pretty chilly for a Perthite (16 degrees) so I must say it was lovely to get back to a sunny 25 degree day.
I didn't have a great deal of time to shop as the purpose of the trip was for my Grandfather's funeral. He died two months short of his 99th birthday and had a lovely, healthy long life. As I've always lived in a different state from him, I unfortunately didn't know him that well. He was my dad's father, and my dad died when I was only 6. One of the amazing aspects of the funeral was meeting my dad's cousins for the first time and hearing stories about his childhood.
It was also the first time my three siblings and myself have been in Melbourne together (where we were born) and we had some great times visiting old haunts and reliving memories.
So to the shopping....
My 15 year old niece and I hit the city hard and spent a great deal of time at Zara. Amazing clothes and prices but I found that a lot of the smaller sizes had sold out. Hmmm, I did however purchase a lovely pair of pants and my niece got an amazing pink blazer and some ridiculously high, but gorgeous wedges.
Then it was off on the tram to ClearIt in Fitzroy. I love this shop, you can literally spend hours browsing the two floors packed to the brim. I came away with a couple of skirts and this top (although I got it in the black).
On Sunday we went to the South Wharf DFO where I purchased some much needed (hmmm) shoes. I got two pairs of work shoes from Siren at 30% off:
I also bought a pair of un-worky shoes from the Tony Bianco outlet, gorgeous:
Back to bed for me!
