I hope you all have a fantastic Friday. Friday’s for me is not as exciting anymore. It’s the last day of uni for the week. Which means work Saturday, Sunday and Monday. That’s the life of a fashion student yo.
Also happy first day of May!
This is a cool series of doco’s called The Day Before. I’ve actually, now watched them all!
I feel like I’ve posted this here before but I’m not sure. It’s just a quick watercolor painting I did.
Me. Pardon all the selfies in this Foto Friday. You’ll notice I’ve bought a new red lipstick and I totally love it.
I went to the Night Market and had one of these yummy spirally potatoes. And of course some Sangria.
Some gouache painting of the colour wheel.
Me in my red lipstick. I’ve noticed it makes my hair look more blonde than usual!
Lots of buttons at Jimmy Buttons.
Lots of trims too. I had the urge to start tidying up for them while I was there, but I resisted. The lady actually lost her keys while I was there. I have no hope that she was able to find them :/
My friend Ashy’s hat. So super cool.
I found this at work. I think the other girl did it, maybe something to do with the shirts we sell having thread treads. I clothes are made in china so maybe I’m thinking that’s why its translated. No idea.
My outfit of the day for uni yesterday. The red lipstick makes things more exciting.
This is my latest book club read, and I just realised I haven’t updated you on book club. I like this picture of Patti.
My latte. I really, really love coffee and hanging out in cafes.

I stumbled across a cool haberdashery store in the nicholas building. i loved these mushrooms.
I made some yummy treats for morning tea. I’ll show you in my next post.
My lecturer showed us this cool book in class.
Delicious donuts at Movida Bakery for breakfast. Blueberry Custard is my new fave.
I bought these treats to take to my mums house. Chocolate cake with wild strawberries and coffee custard and mango tart. yum.
And also, they make amazing coffee at Movida Bakery.
Amazing room at NGV. I wish I lived in this room.
(all these photos were taken by me using my iphone and i edited them using instagram.)

Today was my last day at my corporate job. I have three weeks off until I start my new course. I’m a bit scared but I’m a lot excited.
1. I made some pancakes and this one looked like it had a skull on it. Way cool.
2. I saw this in Myer of all places. I want one in my house. Thanks.
3. First time having French Onion Soup at Paris Go in Carlton. A bit heavy, but very tasty and cheesy. And oniony.
4. This is the sign of a cafe in Melbourne. I can’t remember the name but it’s a nice place.
5. Street art painting outside Crown
6. I would like both of these books. Please and Thank you.
7. Where do you look for the truth? At Cup of Truth. Having a latte.
8. From our book club: “Bitches, Burgers and Books.”

10. This was Saturday last week. I like Saturdays.
Pellegrini’s Espresso Bar
Pellegrini’s Espresso Bar
66 Bourke Street
Melbourne
This is me on the left and my friend darling friend Emma next to me. This is us here at Pellegrini’s. Emma was raving about their lasagne so I told her she had to take me. It’s obviously Italian but what I didn’t realise was that it was actually old school Italian. It’s so old school, i loved it. It’s quite small. There really isn’t much room to move around. There’s basically a long bar and then there’s a bench and seats along the wall directly opposite the bar. Which is where we sat. It’s nothing fancy but when you walk in you feel like you’ve known this place all your life. Like you’re transported back to another time and place, and not at all in Melbourne’s busy CBD.
I don’t think they have any menu’s, I didn’t see any displayed and we weren’t given one. We were greeted by an older Italian man, he had an Italian accent that made him seem so interesting, who basically told us the menu. He said that we could choose lasagne or cannelloni. And he offered us a granita.
First came a chunk of buttered bread. Then the delicious lasagne and then the granita. We didn’t really have to wait much at all. It was so good. I felt like I was at my nonno and nonna’s house. No I’m not Italian, I’m just dreaming. It’s just what I imagine being at your Italian grandparents house would be like. It was great. It’s always so busy, you’re lucky if you can get a seat. We finished it all, I forgot to take a photo of my empty plate to show you.
It’s also cool because it’s located right next to Hill of Content and The Paperback Bookstore. What more could you want. Italian food and books. Perfect.

clickety scribble
when i decided to post about the new book i bought i didn’t expect the title to be clickety scribble. the inbuilt dictionary on this wordpress is telling me that clickety isn’t a real word. but that’s the only way i can explain it.
i bought ‘the scribble diary’ – my brain right now by lisa currie at dymocks yesterday. i have an obsession with notebooks, journals, stationery and writing. i’ve already started using this one and i have decided it will be my daily journal until i’ve used up all the pages. i love it especially because it kind of prompts you on what to write about, even though i always seem to twist into into what i really want to write about, only it comes out in a different way which i think is super cool.
the other cool thing is that the author/creator, lisa currie, is from melbourne. so cool. and the other so super cool thing is that once you try to find out more about lisa currie you just find out more and more about so many other super cool things. i started clicking and clicking and reading and clicking about an hour ago and there are still so many more things to look at…
heres a list of some of the things i’ve clicked to:
see what i’m saying? and these aren’t all of them! i could keep clicking all day.
how many coffees can you buy with $20
$ 2 0 C O F F E E A D V E N T U R E
I’d just hopped into the shower after an intense PT ( Personal Training) session and was thinking about what to do with the rest of my day as it was only about 11am.
I remembered the $20 note that I had in my wallet that I took out incase I wanted to go to one of the cafes in The Cafe Guide. Then the coolest idea popped into my head.
I wondered how many coffees could I actually buy with the $20? Then, normally, what would happen is that I’d just write the idea off as ridiculous. However, I promised myself the other day after watching the documentary on Diana Vreeland that I’d try to be more like her. ( Someone in the documentary said that if they told Diana to go to the moon for a shoot that she’d hop into the space shuttle without even giving it a second thought.) So this is where my coffee adventure began.
1. Olie & Ari – 133-135 Were Street, BRIGHTON
This was my first stop. Such a cool cafe.The food
in the cabinets was very tempting. I didn’t have anything
because I needed to leave space for more coffee
drinking.
The coffee cost $3.50 leaving me with $16.50.
2. Balmains – 117 Were Street, Brighton
Balmains was the second stop. I think I should have
probably stopped drinking coffee after the second one.
But I didn’t because that would be weak. I loved the coffee
cups at Balmains. They were so fancy with the nice gold
trim.
The coffee cost $3.70 leaving me with $12.80
3. Pantry – 1 Church Street, BRIGHTON
This place was so busy it was awesome. I only had a coffee
but I felt like I should have really had something to eat. All
the food that I saw being served around me looked delicious.
The cool thing about Pantry was that on each table there
were black artist crayons. I didn’t ask anyone but I’m pretty
sure you would use them to write on the brown paper that
they had put on the tables. Awesome idea. I imagined diners
playing hangman, playing naughts and crosses or drawing
maps to show their friend how to get around etc etc.
This coffee cost $4.00 leaving me $8.80
4. Tuccibrown – 268 Bay Street, BRIGHTON
This was my favourite cafe for the day. I can’t believe I
didn’t know about Tuccibrown. It’s a stationery store/cafe.
That’s everything I love all in one place. I bought a vintage
camera stamp (so cool) and looked through some cool arty
books while sipping my coffee. (I was kind of forcing the
coffee down at this point. I had definitely reached my coffee
drinking limit but I still had money left!! GAH!!
The coffee cost $4.00 leaving me $4.80.
5. The Little Ox – 452 New Street, BRIGHTON
I was dying by the time I reached this place. (I’d had way
too much coffee.) It was so lovely though. And the staff
were so friendly and smily. I would have loved to try one of
the pretty sweets, but it definitely had to be another time.
I fell in love with the butterfly art on the wall, it was so
pretty and I loved how the sunlight shone through the
windows.
The coffee cost $3.50 leaving me with $1.30.
Yep, this is the end of the $20 coffee adventure. I made it to 5 cafes and had $1.30 left. Thank goodness that wasn’t enough for another coffee because that would have been it. I don’t think I would have made it. It was an excellent
experience and all the cafes were really good. I’d never actually been to Brighton so it was a good experience. In case you were interested all my coffees were skinny lattes and I never take any sugar.

photo diary
O U T I N F I T Z R O Y
These photos are from Tuesday when it was nice and sunny in Melbourne. The last few days have been miserable, cold and rainy and I can’t find my umbrella!!!
My dress is from CUE and my jacket from Forever New.
“all you need is love…love…love is all you need” on a random wall in Fitzroy.
Arcadia Cafe in Fitzroy. One more cafe to tick of for my Cafe Mission.
I was supposed to have a healthy day with no naughty food but when I was ordering my latte I couldn’t say no to this delicious carrot cake that I swear was begging me to eat it.
Lately I seem to be taking a lot of reflection photos. This is from the reflection on my iphone.
I went into ‘Title” a record store in Fitzroy. Picked up some cute cards. Also wondering who Jack Kerouac is and thinking I should probably already know who he is.
