My Sidekick

I was in desperate need for a sidekick. A sidekick that would hold all my junk and to be there for me when I needed a tissue for my tears, lip balm for my chapped lips or a cardigan for when I was cold. No I'm not talking about that little man there, I'm talking about my bag! After searching for the perfect bag for so long, I decided to splurge on a classic nude bag from Charles & Keith. My biggest purchase yet. It may not be a splurge to others but to me it was. I had set my eyes on another bag that I saw on their website but sadly fate did not let us cross paths. Instead I found this baby! A bag that was big enough that I could fit all my things in, especially when I'm traveling and for uni. I haven't stopped using this bag ever since I got it. Maybe I should do a "what's in my bag" post? Some time in the near future?

All the things a girl should be.

Green Refectory

Green Refectory has been on my radar for quite some time now. And yesterday, I finally made a trip to Brunswick to try it out. After taking the wrong tram ending up on the opposite side, walking for an hour AND having a snack of fish and chips. We finally made it! And I must say it's worth your money and good for your taste buds too. They have an array of pastries, cakes, pies, almost anything you want! Definitely recommend Green Refectory to anyone who's in Melbourne.

Big Breakfast $15.50

Make sure you bring your appetite if you're planning to have this. Eggs, toast, baked beans, tomatoes, avocado, caramelised onions, spinach, mushrooms, bacon and haloumi (my new favourite cheese). You could choose between poached eggs or scrambled.

Vanilla Slice $3

I liked this a lot. Thick vanilla custard with puff pastry on the top and bottom with a passionfruit glaze. The passionfruit glaze just gave it that kick it needed. I'll definitely go back there to try more of their pastries. Really eager to try their Black Forest cake.

Don't you just love this door knocker? In love with the vintage and rustic feel of the cafe. 

Spring has Sprung!

High Waisted Skirt by weiyens

Spring has sprung! Well, at least not here in Australia, but some other part of the world. Even if we're entering autumn here, I can't help but love pastel colours. Just brings so much life to an outfit. Add a bold print to complete a look and you're ready for a day out! 

Easter Break

So my easter break wasn't the most eventful with uni work piling up and all the mid semester tests coming up. But it was a pretty good much needed break. Movie nights (finally watched The Dark Knight Rises), many grocery runs, walking aimlessly around the city and catching up with friends and family. But here's some of the moments I captured..

Had a chance to try Freddo's gelato after the Masterchef filming. Tried 6 flavours all together! Roche, honeycomb, lychee, passionfruit, vanilla crunch and baileys. All of them were pretty good! Definitely worth a try. But I still prefer Passionflower on Bourke Street. 

Brought Justin for his first cafe experience at Manchester Press. I had the pulled pork with apple sauce on a sesame seed bagel. It was so delicious! I'm actually salivating thinking about it right now.. 

And we made a trip to the Great Ocean Road to see the 12 Apostles! A day trip which started with waking up at 6 in the morning.. But it was a nice experience seeing one of the natural wonders of the world even if it started pouring when we got to the 12 Apostles. Just our luck haha. And we got to see wild koalas! You can play spot the koala in some of the pictures. And I had a chance to become one too! HAHA.

Masterchef

My masterchef experience on Lygon Street in Melbourne! Believe me, I was so excited and starstruck! The foodie in me was jumping up and down, side to side. When I saw Gary and George, I thought I was gonna faint! But I kept my cool. I think.. I tried so hard to get pictures with them. Yes, I'm a little crazy.. But I was successful! Haha.

Anyway, enough of my fangirl nonsense.. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

P.s.: I can't believe I got to hear George say "BOOM BOOM SHAKE THE ROOM!".
