I'm sorry i've been missing for the past few days. Things have been a little crazy and before i knew it i was on a flight to Melbourne for yet another short stay full of meetings and work! I landed just yesterday and plan on being here for the next 5 days. What makes this brief trip so much more wonderful is that Luke decided to come down with me this time and flies in later tonight. We plan on pottering around, exploring, and stuffing ourselves silly with incredibly bad but tasty food. I'm also planning on scouring the racks for some amazing vintage pieces for my next collection which will be in store just next week!
It's a completely different experience when you're in an exciting new place by yourself and have no one to share moments with, so i'm ecstatic that Luke will be here. I've already been for Italian on Lygon street with my beautiful friend Rach and despite the freezing (and very confusing) Spring chills, walked through the city aimlessly taking photos at night. As you can see from the photo above i didn't really pack for this kind of weather! I thought it would be a lot warmer here and i'm going to look hilarious walking around in my nautical Spring outfit looking as if i had left my yacht back in Sydney.
Well if you guys have any suggestions on what to do please let me know! So far i've heard of vintage markets on Saturday and the Tim Burton exhibition. And in reply to the many emails, the pastel peach nail polish i'm wearing is by American Apparel who have created their own formula to make these perfect polishes. You really have my friend Eliza to thank who is the reason why i now have this nail polish in pastel peach, pink, purple, rose and bright red! Amazeballs and available here :)

ReplyDeleteHave a great time!

ReplyDeleteIf you need anything or any help in re of Melb let me know :) xx

ReplyDeleteUnfortunately Melbourne has a tendency to showcase four seasons in one day.
You must try Tiamo Restaurant on Lygon street for some traditional Italian fare and visit the Fashion Exhibition(s) at the NGV in Fed Square
Have fun!
Hello madame Nicole!

I definitely recommend...
ReplyDelete1. Strolling down Brunswick St (It's a few blocks down from Lygon)
2. Having coffee at Sensory Lab in David Jones or Brother Baba Budan on Little Bourke
3. Checking out Camberwell Market on Sunday morning (Best to get there early as well) as well as Degraves St and Flinders Lane
Hahaha... theres too much to see in Melbourne to fit it all in 5 days =P
Hope you have fun though!
Melbourne! Have a lovely trip...aaaaaand if you haven't been already, you must try to get to Shanghai Dumplings on Little Bourke St - amazing!

ReplyDeleteCheck out Lost and Found market on Smith St in Collingwood :) Smith St is pretty awesome too, as is Gertrude St, Retrostar Vintage is also good, which is close to Alice Euphemia! Savers in Brunswick is great. and of course Camberwell Markets on Sundays!
ReplyDeleteHope to spot you round Melbourne! Have a great trip

I'm a huuuuuuuge thrifter as well so here're some of my second homes:
ReplyDelete- Chapel Street [Tonssss of op shops down the bottom end of the street, past American Apparel]
- Sydney Road (Brunswick) has a pretty massive Savers for you to dig through
- Brunswick, Gertrude and Smith Streets in Fitzroy
- Clarendon Street in South Melbourne [I work around here and go thrifting in the op shops here regularly, have found MANY AMAZING THINGS; also has Melbourne's best Fish & Chips there]
Can't really think of anywhere else off the top of my head. Will get back to you if I do. Enjoy your trip though, have fun. :)
These are gorgeous pics! Love the oxfords! ;-)
