MELB PART 2

If these walls could talk...

Day 1: Part 2

If these walls could talk they would probably be drunk and screaming profanities at me but colourful and magical all the same

My next post will be the rest of the photos from our melbourne trip but i may not be able to post them till next week because tomorrow I am going to the snow to go skiing in the sunshine!

Melbourne! [Part 1]

We spent a lovely extended weekend in Melbourne and it was amazing!
Our hotel was smack bang in the middle of the CBD on little Bourke street and it was nuts

We spent most of our money on great food and most of our time WALKING!

What i loved most about melbourne would have to be the buildings.

Flinders Street Station

Lord of the Fries

Wearing: dress - vintage, sheepskin coat - vintage, belt - vintage and vintage lace ups.

Lunch on Block Place

Chocolate!

Hotel windows

I think we did most of the walking and photo taking on the first day so this is only half of my photos.

Melbourne isn't what i was expecting but i think it was better.
It was much smaller than i thought and the hidden alleys were much busier!
So many hidden mysteries!


With the yellow taxis, old buildings and leafless trees i was reminded of new york and the sunlit alleyways with outside seating was very much like some in paris would be. I also felt a hint of sydney in the city so i guess it was a mix of the three for me.


I thought I would be doing a lot of shopping but we had much more fun having brunch and afternoon tea in the many many cafes.

blue eye baby

A week or so ago we had a family gathering at my grandma's house on a lazy sunday. Whilst there i meet the most amazing kitty. Not only was she fluffy, soft and had the most beautiful blue eyes I've ever seen but all she wanted was to snuggle up to me and be patted.

I usually wouldn't really pat strange cats i meet on the street (mostly because I always stumble upon scary black cats that stare at me till I pass by) but this one was so sweet and apparently tries to live in my grandma's house even though she lives a couple houses down.

Such a lovely sunny day (but still a little chilly) and a perfect time to sit on the lawn and embrace the tea drinking-picture taking-giggling 'old soul' within.

wearing
knit - thrifted

I am so crazy excited about finding this amazing lip colour from Lime Crime!

For so long I've been searching for an orange lipstick that wasn't red in disguise!

Lime Crime Make Up are all over the opaque lip colour scene, so if you like adding a splash of colour to your outfit take a look at their collection of colours here.

How cute is the glitter unicorn case!?
They also have 'magic dust' eyeshadow

FUN FUN FUN

I wore this vintage lace singlet and my orange Lime Crime out with friends on the weekend
