Detour Past Tarrawarra

Stopped at Tarrawarra on our way home from Healesville. The gallery was actually closed which was super annoying but the views were well worth the detour. Weekend in the country was an absolute party! Very ready for round two at the snow on Thursday. PS. these are the shoes I was telling you about, you will die for them!

Apartment in Paris

Arrived at our home for the next month! Found the apartment on Airbnb so we were slightly sceptical about how it was going to turn out....but it's actually unbelievable! Location is ridiculous with heaps of cafes and shops in the area, and there's even this cute little courtyard downstairs with a few stores and a cooking school that I'm considering spending a few days at to perfect my coq au vin (or let's be honest, learn how to make it altogether).

Dinner at Kong

Went for a delicious dinner at Kong. Furniture by Philippe Starck and food by somebody seriously talented. Had a drink in the bar beforehand - red berry Caprioska was amazing, and then sat in the glass rooftop dome for dinner with views over Paris. Sadly no room was left for dessert so thinking we'll have to return soon.

Breakfast at Le Pain Quotidien

For Ro's last day here I knew I had to take him to 'Pain'! It may be a chain but oh my the food is delicious...particularly love the communal tables and the spread-sharing (dark chocolate spread on raisin bread is even more unbelievable than I remembered). Finished off the afternoon with a stroll around Le Marais and a quick farewell-tan in Square du Temple Park. Au revoir Ro!

Le Tour De France

Day 1 in Paris and straight into it. Spent the afternoon on the Champs Elysees watching the final stage of Le Tour de France. Managed to schmooze our way into a corporate tent that came complete with lunch, dessert and unlimited alcohol…major score. FYI our apartment is amazing, but more of that to come.

Falafel at Prahran Market

Spent the morning shopping at Prahran Market. In addition to the mountains of taste testers that were consumed, we stopped off at Falafel Cart for lunch. Best decision, brought me back to Itzik Hagadol days! (And in response to what you're thinking: yes, it is still far too cold here to be wearing no pants, but I felt the dress deserved an HTL appearance).

Hanging Out in Bonifacio

Starting our journey down south in the beautiful seaside town of Bonifacio. So far we've been sunning it up on beaches, and eating the most incredibly fresh seafood - so fresh they bring it alive to the table beforehand...vom. Was dragged into going on a walk (in platforms, obviously), but it ended up leading to amazing views of the whole city.

Spent the afternoon shopping in the city yesterday. Found a pair of platforms from Alice Euphemia which I literally had 3 dreams about last night...

In dire need of some recovery time post-T, we checked ourselves into the Hotel Missoni in Edinburgh. In love. Literally the entire hotel is decked out in Missoni, down to the kilts worn by the bell boys. One night was nowhere near enough but my pasty skin is begging for some sun.

Getting Muddy at T in the Park

Getting dirty on our final day at T in the Park. Mud, dancing, rain, drinking, and more mud pretty much sums up the entire weekend. Highlights were Temper Trap, Nicki Minaj, Labrinth, Snow Patrol, Jessie J and Swedish House Mafia. And yes, that is mud all over your pants...let's hope the Missoni has a good washing machine!

Decided to try this new cafe in Collingwood called SOJO I've heard so much about and let me tell you it did not disappoint! I had a ridiculously delicious salad but literally wanted everything on the menu...

Brother Thomas Coffee

Already back in miserable Melbourne and visiting my Brother Thomas (a new coffee brand and our brother Jerome!) at Goathouse Cafe...

Food Market in Copenhagen

Massive day of eating - what more could you want from a holiday? We came across this pop-up food market in the middle of the city. It opened last September, and is full of delis, cafes, and fresh fruit and flower stalls. We did some serious food hopping and started with a duck sandwich from this little French place called Ma Poule, then moved onto a salad and a sandwich (both tuna of course, and both unbelievable) from Smag, shoestring fries and wine on tap from Un Mercato, and ended with the most delicious chocolate sea salt cupcakes from a place called Agnes. And yes, this was just lunch. The fact that all this feasting took place in the sun and kick-started my base tan was just an added bonus. Sad to be leaving Copenhagen, but bring on the glamping!

Partying in Phuket

Had the most hilarious time in Patong Beach last night! Started off quite tame at a beautiful (yet very boring) rooftop bar called Factory. Eventually we stumbled across this street which was lined with stripper bars, ping-pong shows and ladyboys - basically everything we could possibly want from a night out in Phuket! Quality night.

Coffee in Copenhagen

First morning in Copenhagen, hired a bike and rode (for the first time in like 5 years - totally get why they say it's like riding a bike!) to The Coffee Collective in the North. I was recommended this place as having the best coffee in Copenhagen and it didn't disappoint. Sat in the sun sipping coffee and doing crosswords for a few hours, and then explored the boutiques and cafes in the area. Oh and great news for the wardrobe: this city shares our love of platforms!
