Morning in Paradise

Discovered this amazing chain of stores in LA called Wasteland, where they sell vintage as well as a lot of cool Aussie labels like Minkpink and Cameo. I picked up this incredible vintage pink skirt for $29 and have been dying to wear it - thought a beach walk in the wind would be the perfect time to christen it, and of course make for a great style snap. This is the most beautiful place on earth and I can't think of a better place to go for a morning stroll - especially when it ended with us watching whales jumping out of the water right off the shore. Paradise.

Winery Hopping

Spontaneously made the decision to go on a road trip up to the Yarra Valley for a bit of a break, and it somehow turned into a day of winery hopping. From lunch at Red Shed Cafe at Medhurst Winery, to drinks at TarraWarra Estate, and finishing it off with dinner at Giant Steps/Innocent Bystander, it was an epic day of food, wine, and fun with the girls. I totally get why you've come up here so much lately, it always delivers. Not to mention that the most comfortable clothes you own are totally acceptable attire (notice I kicked off the platforms for the day?).

After-Work Shop

Most people head out at the end of a long day for after-work drinks, but today I went into the city to meet Ro for an after-work shop. We headed to one of his favourite stores, Incu, to stock up on supplies for him before our upcoming trip. A couple of Vanishing Elephant purchases later and we were feeling a little hungry, so stopped by Degraves Street for delicious chocolate cupcakes. Seriously fun afternoon, and finally getting to wear this Motel Rocks twosie made it that much better - how could you not be in a good mood wearing this neon number!

Las Chicas

Met Jade for breakfast at Las Chicas this morning - firstly, food was seriously delicious, can't wait for you to be living around the corner from there! But what I got really excited about was the bear look-a-like on the table next to me! It was the most gorgeous golden retriever (second to bear of course) and it's owner kept sneaking it bites of her scone under the table. Was so cute, I am now eagerly awaiting Milou's arrival, wish it was February already!

Le Petit Prince

Been feeling a serious lack of Paris in my life lately so Deb and I decided to go to Le Petit Prince for breakfast and a good dose of familiar french accents. Could not be more in love with this Cameo cape - I literally squealed when I saw it had arrived the other day (with ten million other pieces you're going to die for)! Been looking for the perfect outfit for it and could obviously think of no better way to welcome it to our wardrobe than an all pink ensemble. Killed it!

Coco Cubano

Was craving a milkshake so headed to Coco Cubano on Greville street after hearing great things about their desserts from people who love chocolate as much as I do. Ended up spending the afternoon there which lead to tapas and more desserts... my favourite type of day! Also wore my new twosie from Sportsgirl. Been waiting for this since I saw it in their look book online weeks ago. Even more adorable than I thought it would be, best purchase!!

Twosie Week Day 1

Kicking off twosie week with an outfit I've been dying to wear since our London spree! I'm quite sure I was mistaken for some sort of street performer more than once today as I walked past the darkly dressed people of Paris in my crazy colours. Had a rare few hours of sunshine so decided to head to our local park for some lunch, although struggled to get my baguette down with the couple making out next to me...I get it people it's the City of Love, but give me a break while I'm eating!

Triple Print

Had an hour to kill between uni and work so decided to stop by Nana's to say hello. May have gone a little crazy with the outfit today... rocking what I'm pretty sure is the first triple print in HTL history. The pattern overload, together with the love heart sunnies scored me lots of judgemental looks... mission accomplished!

Celebrations at Chin Chin

On uni holidays as of yesterday and decided to go for a celebratory Chin Chin feast. The DIY tofu rice paper rolls are always the standout for me... I think I could live on that ridiculous peanut sauce! If only you liked Thai food as much as I do, this place could become a regular!

Red Shed

I was so happy to have stumbled upon this amazing cafe at Medhurst Wines during my day of winery hopping in the Yarra Valley. Spent the afternoon downing rosé, which was accompanied by these paddles of deliciousness. Although my shoes weren't ideal, we couldn't resist a post meal walk around the vineyards.

RMIT Media Art

Went to the opening of a media art exhibition at RMIT last night. Spent most of my time obsessing over these adorable robotic babies that were so alive it was almost scary. You could sit and talk to them... one even hugged me when I held it! It was so cute, definitely gave Luey a run for her money!

Reunion at Camp Cove

Finally back together! As you can see, we felt the need to celebrate with matching outfits. In Sydney for a few days to collect French Passports, and of course a quick shop at The Intersection. Living up the family fun while it lasts.

A Day At The NGV

Met Deb at the The NGV for the afternoon which was so much fun! They have the Napoleon exhibition on there at the moment but was definitely more interested in the sweet contemporary pieces. Also love that we're both vibing the orange clutches at the moment, although I do think your make-shift one might be slightly cooler than mine.

Arts et Metiers Station

On our way out for the evening, couldn't resist a snap at our favourite metro station. They've converted it into what looks like an old submarine. Seriously cool. Finally got to wear my Manoush shorts, amazing right! And yes that is my ipad cover that I've accessorised with...too far?

Yarn Bombing

Stumbled across these crochet covered bikes at uni today and couldn't resist a style snap. I've read a lot about yarn bombing but this was my first real life encounter and I can tell you now it did not disappoint. These three bikes were so awesome! Definitely worth a google if you have the time.

My Kitten Shirt

Went to Pillar of Salt on the weekend for yet another birthday lunch (not mine this time!). Highlight of the outfit is definitely my shirt that I picked up from SG last week - it was obviously love at first sight with those adorable kittens! One guy thought they were so cute that he stopped me to ask if he could instagram my top. Hilarious.

Preseason C&M

Went to the Camilla and Marc preseason showing at David Jones. The clothes were beautiful, so summery in bright yellow, pink and lots of floral. Also had a seriously awkward encounter with C&M when they came over to speak to us. I was so in awe of them that I ended up turning bright red as my mind went to jelly... I think we spoke about drink driving... Not my best!

Olympic Tennis at Wimbledon

Came to London for a few days to see the men's Olympic tennis finals at Wimbledon. Thankfully, my amazing new Jeff Campbells managed to take away from the pain of Federer's humiliating loss. Hilarious that we were both feeling the neon pink this weekend, love that we still manage to dress alike from opposite ends of the globe!

Chapel On A Sunday

Headed to Chapel street today on the hunt for some bloggable gems. Had a look at Sportsgirl's newest drop which is so neon it's amazing. Also caught a glimpse of the new Shakuhachi store - apparently opening in August, I could not be more excited... and you could not be more jealous!
