thought #214- melbourne is my mistress

so i've recently returned on my long weekend bender in my almost home of melbourne town. i adore the city. it's a place i will constantly revisit, perhaps live for a year or so but could never replace sydney for. nevertheless the food, shopping, galavanting and exploring was much needed before uni ruins all our lives next week. here are some defining points/moments/ life lessons learnt on my getaway with the best friend.
  • jasper hotel on elizabeth st is a place i highly recommend. it's perfect for couples, has that kitsch and cute boutique aura, in the heart of the cbd and friendly staff (props to housekeeping for being persistent to clean my bedroom post- hangover and apologies for spewing in your elevator).
  • melbourne is the home of alleyways and surprises. degraves and little bourke st is home to the most amazing cafes known to man. for a caffeine hit and a great vibe try brother budan baba and manchester press.
  • melbourne is known as the shopping capital of australia, and so it deservingly is. the sales are impeccable with my bestie snapping josh goot, gorman, oroton and tony biancos at good prices. i left home with some acne, gorman, scanlan & theodore as well as my traditional pair of midas shoes. very happy. 
  • there's no such thing as a diet in this amazing city. try mamasitas, trunk and little creatures for unique and amazing dining experiences.
  • brunswick st in fitzroy is probably the place i wish i had visited the most (i blame the crazy friday night). it's filled with great bars (aka black pearl and naked for satan) and even greater looking people.
  • i'm convinved my future boyfriend is a melbournian. the fashion, attitude and aura. i'm absolutely smitten.
  • i'm such a spewer. never again will i think i can take that much alcohol and not go on a barf rampage consequently missing out on hooking in with the cute boy who paid for my taxi home while i lay ill in the backseat (whoever you are, thank you!).
  • hangovers are not fun. they cause you to miss out on exploring and force you to skip cigs, cocktails and drink copious amounts of chicken and corn soup (which the chinese bbq house next door from the hotel make amazingly by the way).
  • holidays with the bestfriend is always a pleasure. it may be rocky at times but its the only way to experience the world and growing up and getting into mischief and loving life.
until we meet again melbourne, i miss you terribly already!

love,




ps. just some happy snaps
