After school catch ups with Nat <3 p="">

Sweets are always a must. Totes loving the array of ghost chairs and the intricate ceiling. The number of choices was very much overwhelming. We ordered the Caramelised Banana Crepes and the Chocolate Strawberry crepes for the choc-fanatic Nat. Both were delicious and plentiful.

New traditions; cafe life

Posted by Catherine at 17:06

A welcome back brunch with Oanh and B.

The space was bright and airy. Light streamed in through the polar windows and the open floor plan helps the place really flow. Service was quick and efficient. Food was good although we were quite hungry by the time we arrived so that may have add to the tasting value. We would definitely come back. It's a nice simple spot.

Persian lentil tagine with Mediterranean vegetables,
dukkarh-rolled feta, smoked hummus, pita and a poached egg.
portion: generous
price: decent $17
Bites I'd give it a 3/5**could do with more pita, but I throughly enjoy pita
so that may be a matter of opinion.

I also picked up some sweets for later, I'm a sucker for dessert and baked goods.

Spice cake with crushed pistachio
It was yummy the baked bottom was crunchy and rich in
flavour a nice contrast to the mild fluffy top.

Peanut butter filled donut
Honestly not amazing, I had one bite and that was enough.

Treat yourself

I picked up some goodies during the week that I love so here is a little preview.

1.Triangl Bikini:

Miami Mint

86 AUD – SET (TOP & BOTTOM)

CHLOE NEOPRENE BIKINI IN PASTEL NEON MINT

A big thank you to the girls at How Two Live. Jess and Steph are kind enough to run a weekly giveaway on their instagram page #htlwishlist. I was so excited to pick these babies up from the post office! Melbourne has been experiencing some sunshine despite finishing off the summer season already, so I quickly donned these on and never wanted to take them off. I thought one pair of triangls would be enough but I’m already looking at placing an order.

2.Quay Australia: +Quay Eyeware

Kitti

39.95 AUD

I have been eyeing these flash hot pink cat eyes for quite some time now and decided finally to spoil myself.These are something more causal and über cute. They will add that extra pop&umph to any outfit.I cannot wait to rock these to university, they will bring a little sunshine to those 6 AM early starts.

3.Marc Jacobs: +Marc Jacobs Intl

Daisy Eau So Fresh Delight, Limited Edition

79 AUD at Myer

This fragrance is part of Marc Jacob’s first Daisy Day, January 28. The new limited edition collection, Delight includes: Delight - a new brighter version of the signature Daisy scent but this time with iris, quince and apple - and Eau So Fresh Delight - a reworking with blood orange and exotic tiare, Tahiti. I will do a full review of the fragrance once I’ve found its place in my full beauty routine. So far a big thumbs up.
