Hello Friends!
So, a month left of
summer and a month left of Uni break! We know we haven’t been the best posters
last month (we are still getting onto our feet, of course) so we thought we
should let you guys know what we’ve been up to. Living in the city means we
have become champs at public transport and we can do many amazing things,
including:
The St. Kilda Foreshore Market.
This market runs every Sunday along the Esplanade and is filled with some lovely booths. We purchased some lovely homemade soap and also matching rings! There was also a lot of cat merchandise <3

HOME <3
We visited home for a couple of days, which was very hot (we miss that hometown summer heat. Melbourne doesn’t even know what summer is). We got to catch up with friends we miss dearly and saw Into the Woods! Cinema tickets are much cheaper in the country.

Oscar Nom Watch 2k15
As we mentioned earlier, we are totally award show junkies and Claire takes the Oscar’s very seriously. When the Oscar nominations came out we made it our mission to see as many of the Best Picture nominations we can before the award show on February 22nd (23rd for us Australians). So far we have seen 5 of them (The Imitation Game, Birdman, Whiplash, Grand Budapest Hotel and The Theory of Everything) with three to go!

This included a double feature (we literally had like 7 minutes between each showing.) of Birdman and Whiplash at Cinema Nova in Carlton. $7 tickets on Monday’s is a godsend. If you are going to take advantage of that ticket pricing, especially in the morning, we suggest you either order online or get there early because that line for the box office is LONG. And thank you Emily for joining us!
The Royal Croquet Club
We love the Melbourne online publication, Broadsheet. Honestly, if you haven’t already liked them on Facebook, followed them on Twitter (like we do) or even read the publication and you are passionate about experiencing what Melbourne has to offer, then you simply MUST. They give you the heads up on the best places to eat and simply amazing evens to attend. For example, their recent success of creating The Royal Croquet Club, a whimsical setup along Birrarung Marr with food trucks, Pimms Tents (PIMMS <3), live music, fairy lights and of course, Croquet!

We went twice! Once with
the family and once on Australia Day with some lovely friends. We went in the
afternoon, so we didn’t get to see it in its prime at night, but we loved it
all the same. And my goodness, the bunting, the logo, the lights, the croquet,
the vibe? 100% our aesthetic. Claire was heart-eyeing all over the place.
St. Kilda Beach
We live like 5 minutes from the beach, but we haven’t been much yet. One Friday evening though we did enjoy the best fish and chips ever (Tommy Tuckers onAcland Street) at the beach. Now, we are new to the whole beach thing, we haven’t really been an overwhelming amount of times, so he sand and wind was new to us, but who doesn’t love summer evenings and the sun setting over the ocean?

Friends & Family <3
And of course, we caught up with many of our friends and the fam-bam. We are so lucky <3

We Watched:
We also had a lot of
downtime on the couch, and this mean, we watched a lot of movie and binge
watched The OC Seasons 1 & 2, and Season 1 of Friday Night Lights (fun
fact: movies about sport are some of our faves. Don’t ask why). We are really
into American Football at the moment (and the South?) and we even watched the
Super Bowl this past Monday. We still love country AFL the best, though.
There were also movies:
The Graduate,
Charade, Cabaret, The Kings Speech, The Iron Lady, Moneyball, The Reader, The
Vow, God Help The Girl, The Riot Club, Remember The Titans, Into the Woods,
Whiplash, The Imitation Game, Birdman, Monster’s University, just to name a
few.
And now it’s February!
And it’s due to be a big one. We have University starting again in the first
week of March, more blogposts to write, apartments to hunt, the Oscar’s, and
the last traces of summer to soak up! So stay tuned, it’s going to be a wild
one.
Also, we promise to
post more on the blog and on our Instagram account so feel free to give it a
follow! And tell us what you’ve bene up to this new year? We’d love to hear
from you!
Stay gold!
Claire & Grace.
