taken away on a breath of fresh air

We had brunch today at 'Vintage Bar & Restaurant' in the arcade by the beach.

Photobucket


Location: nice, close to the beach.
Seating: Wall benches were very comfortable with extra cushions but mocked the person sitting on the stool on the other side of the tiny tables
Atmosphere: Nice. The tables are quite close so it may be different if the place is full.
Menu/price: Fairly wide variety of dishes and quite reasonable prices.
Decoration: Very modern with vintage wallpaper. Quite nice.
Meal: Large meals. Very scrummy and almost fancy. Thumbs up!
Staff: Few. The lone waitress had some unknown dislike for us and avoided talking to us at all costs while she skipped of to make bubbly small talk with the rest of the customers. This strange and rude display was a major let down.
Rating: 7/10

Wearing: frill shoulder tank - designed by myself, fan pendant - vintage brooch on chain, clubmasters - vintage&paddy's markets and the rest already posted before.

Today we ventured into the city to visit Paddy's Markets, Hyde Park and american apparel on Oxford St.
I bought two pairs of sunglasses (one to replace my vintage clubmasters that have scratches on the lenses [both pictured] and the other pair, cause i can and cause they reminded me of the white circle Chanel frames) and some grey thigh high socks.

I cannot wait for winter.

Today my feet were so hot in my favourite boots that i almost regretted wearing them.

Almost...
They always get lovely compliments.
Good boots, nice work.

Is it too early for easter eggs?

I was sucked in by the casual placing of easter eggs in the middle of the video store as you leave. I think its better to eat your share before easter comes along so when your swimming in a sea of unwanted easter eggs all you want to do is smash them all and get out and do some yoga.

I rented 'Public Enemies' with Johnny Depp last night and liked it more than i thought i would since it didn't get an amazing wrap by the critics. Maybe it was the vintage furs, winter coats, 1930s hair dos or the fact they only payed $3 for a ball gown that won me over.

Antique Surface

In the last couple of days i have purchased some amazing finds! Yesterday i actually bought an entire antique lounge set (the style is similar to the lounge in friends, same material etc) in great condition and at a price that only just broke my budget, but hey it was worth it! I also bought an antique coffee table, black winter boots, a lovely floral skirt, an amazing teapot and tea cup set (pictured below-tea pot sits on top of cup) and lots of great books.

How was your weekend? =)

grazing in the streets

Whilst vintage shopping today i came across a box of lovely figurines. I love brass figurines and i just had to take these (below) home to put on the mantle. When i arrived home i found a gorgeous bunch of flowers on the doorstep for me from my 'secret admirer'.

Today is starting out as a lovely day! Tonight I'll be making a mediterranean dinner for me and my boyfriend and i cant wait, i love to cook in my spare time.

And as a cherry on top of this wonderful day cake I'll be picking up my BDO ticket!

Can it get much better?

silver and jewels

After coming home from the movies and shopping i picked up season 8 and 9 of 'friends' for good use over (what may be) a rainy weekend. I love the summer but i alway find that when autumn comes i'm filled with joy. I love everything that comes with winter, from the morning chill, extra blankets and tea to the fashion that seems to thrive in the cold.
