My Afternoon at Uni Hill Factory Outlet

July 9 2013 By melbournemamma Leave a Comment

I recently headed down to Uni Hill Factory Outlet for an afternoon a kid-free shopping (woohoo!).

 

I don’t often get the chance to hit the shops without at least one child in tow, so as I drove to the outlet, I knew I needed to make the most of the couple of hours I had.

 

First stop was a visit to Simone Perele, who coincidentally were having a VIP Shopping Day, which meant 30% off their already low prices. Very quickly I was heading out the store with a matching bra and brief set for only $58 (RRR $129.90).

My daughter started school this year and is really getting into reading, so when I saw that All Books 4 Less were selling ALL their books for only $5, I popped in and grabbed a couple of books for her.

 

Shoes were not on my agenda for the day (for once) but when I spied the 50% off everything sign at Milu, I knew that it would be criminal/immoral (?) for me to bypass. 10 minutes later I was the happy owner of a gorgeous pair of ($35) ballet flats. When my husband asks, I will tell him they are for work 😉

 

Next stop was Russell Athletic with the intention of buying something for hubby. Somehow I managed to grab myself a hoodie instead but that’s OK because now I can give him back all the ones I’ve borrowed of his. It was a win win for everyone – I think.

 

I then dashed to Maddness Hair Design for my appointment for a blow wave. VERY rarely do I go to the hairdressers just for a blow wave but I was going out that night to celebrate my birthday, so a special ‘do’ was in order. Rebecca did a fabulous job of curling my hair and gave me some handy tips for making my hair look just as fabulous when I headed out a couple of hours later.

I’m not sure what I love most about visiting the hairdresser – the end result or the simple pleasure of drinking a hot cup of tea and reading some trashy mags without interruption.

 

I was so in love with my new hair that I contemplated sleeping upright in a chair that night, just to make the most of it (don’t pretend you’ve never thought about doing that LOL).

 

I’ve got a bit of a scarf fetish at the moment, so when I saw some scarfs in Unik for only $10, I grabbed two because I couldn’t decide which one I liked best.

 

I was pretty impressed with my bargains for the day and am looking forward to going back to Uni Hill Factory Outlet again very soon.

 

 

When I got home I flashed the Simone Perele bag in hubby’s direction and mumbled something about books for our daughter as I quickly smuggled the rest of my bags inside 🙂

Safe to say we picked the perfect time to visit Sy Safe to say we picked the perfect time to visit Sydney ✨

With Vivid lighting up the city every night, we’ve been treated to an incredible show from our apartment and around Darling Harbour 🌟

This spectacular light show was the perfect way to end the evening. Sydney really knows how to put on a show ❤️

Not a bad view to end the day ✨ Darling Harbour p Not a bad view to end the day ✨

Darling Harbour putting on a show from my hotel room window - twinkling lights, reflections on the water and the Sydney skyline glowing after dark 🌃

Definitely no complaints from me 😍

If David Attenborough has taught us anything, it’s If David Attenborough has taught us anything, it’s that the world is breathtakingly beautiful and worth protecting 🌎💚

100 years of Sir David Attenborough. What a life. What a legacy 🌿🐘🐋

Happy Birthday to one of the greatest storytellers the world has ever known 🎂

Just finished ‘Fifty Fifty’ by Steve Cavanagh and Just finished ‘Fifty Fifty’ by Steve Cavanagh and wow, what a ride.

I could not put this one down… ended up reading until 2:30 am to finish it! Such a clever, gripping story that keeps you guessing the whole way through.

Honestly, the entire Eddie Flynn series is fantastic. If you love fast-paced legal thrillers, these are absolute must-reads.

My rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

“Alexandra Avellino has just found her father’s mutilated body, and needs the police right away. She believes her sister killed him, and that she is still in the house with a knife. 

Sofia Avellino has just found her father’s mutilated body and needs the police right away. She believes her sister, Alexandra did it, and that she is still in the house, locked in the bathroom. 

Both women are to go on trial at the same time. A joint trial in front of one jury. 

But one of these women is lying. One of them is a murderer. Sitting in a jail cell, about to go on trial with her sister for murder, you might think that this is the last place she expected to be. 

You’d be wrong.”

After being the recipient of a life-saving blood t After being the recipient of a life-saving blood transfusion myself… today I finally gave back 🩸

Over the years I’ve had a few false starts thanks to anemia, high blood pressure and the flu 🤦🏻‍♀️ but we got there in the end 🙌

Feels pretty special knowing this could help someone else the way I was once helped ❤️
