how’s the weather in your city? adelaide is 41 degrees today = YUCK.

just the final round up on my xmas in melbourne – xmas day. peter and i had a casual pasta lunch at leo’s in st kilda and then went to check out the beach which was lovely. windy as you can see, but the weather was great!

outfit: cue top & shorts, various necklaces, steve madden flats, vintage bag.

feels like xmas was so long ago though, but i loved my xmas away from home, might have to do it again next year!

hope everyone has a fab new year’s eve and happy new year! 2010 is going to be great, i just know it.

peter and i decided to venture out to south wharf to check out the new DFO. and lucky for us, it was completely dead, void of xmas eve madness. whilst i bought some darling shorts and top from cue on sale, and peter picked up a woollen knit from witchery man, there wasn’t much else there for us. the whole docklands area is a bit dead huh? creepily quiet and lacking atmosphere.

we then went back and checked out christine and marais. oh the jewels in christine! amazing, and completely unaffordable for me unfortunately. but i’ll get myself a lanvin necklace one day! marais had their xmas sale on already, which i totally loved and picked up myself two pieces for xmas [ha!]. i bought a pair of hussein chalayan silk shorts for $100 and an amazing bui de barbara bui silk skirt for $195. i’ll post on those pieces separately!

after a rest, it was time for the degustation at the press club. it was really quite great, a couple of let down courses, but overall a fab experience. i mean, it’s not like we meant to get champagne for $24 a glass, but y’know, it was xmas eve.

day outfit: steveJ & yoniP dress, sportsgirl necklace, steve madden flats [i ended up getting completely drenched walking back to the hotel after the skies opened up and poured down!].

night outfit: acne dress, wittner wedges, singapore necklace

i always leave fitzroy to the last minute, so decided to go there on the first stop of my melbourne holiday.

i checked out the lost and found market after a recommendation from amanda of not so naked blog fame. picked up a necklace and a blouse for cheap. caught up with wonderful bianca at the grace darling and then dinner at houndstooth with peter which was amazing. 4 courses for $25? unbelievable. so different to our $495 bill at the press club on xmas eve [more about that later!]. and the food was DELICIOUS. can’t wait to go back in march. finishing up with drinks at polly was expensive but nice.

outfit: urban outfitters dress from nyc, steve madden flats from hong kong, h&m $5 sunnies, veronika maine necklace, chapel st bazaar vintage handbag.
