25.6.15 - 2.7.15 | The week that was

Hello, all!

Here is what we've been up to this past week.

-

THURSDAY

We had brunch at Bowery to Williamsburg with some friends we haven't seen in a long, long time. It was great to catch up with them now that Uni is over for the semester, especially since one studies interstate and another just jetted off to America for a couple of weeks. 

The place is super cool and NYC Subway themed in Oliver Lane (#ClassicMelbourne) I took a bad photo of my bagel with lemon and vanilla smear and maple bacon. It was sooo good! We are definitely going to go back, especially for lunch and try out the rest of their menu. 

The gals after brunch. The laneway the cafe was in lead to Flinders lane and this magnificent view.

FRIDAY

We watched Chef on Netflix and this was a photo to show my appreciation for the coffee-popcorn-chocolate combo I had. (The movie has alright. Weird pacing?)

SUNDAY

I worked 1-5pm and this is the view I had on my way to the tram stop.
Chinatown/Swanston Street.

MONDAY - WEDNESDAY

We both had a couple days off work so we took a quick trip to our hometown for a couple of days. We hardly left the house but it was good to see our parents, older brother and my favourite friend again. There was also Foxtel and a lot of Say Yes to the Dress <3

Also, we are both currently reading Harry Potter. I'm up to Goblet of Fire while Grace just started Deathly Hallows.

THURSDAY

We took three trains to get to Geelong, but it was worth it, because we got to see our aunt and uncle again, and meet their new twin babies! Another set of twins int he family, how delightful!

Stay Gold!

21.6.15 | Claire

Sunday the 21st of June, 2015.

Good morning! We were off to the train station at 9:30am, and it was quite the brisk morning. Also, I debuted my new bag, which I purchased at the op shop on Saturday. It's a carpet bag in the style of a bowling bag. It's perf and I'm so in love. (Plus it was only $8!)

Brunch at: Brighton Shoolhouse

We shared the Glee Club Pancakes (blueberry and ricotta pancakes with a scoop of white-chocolate ice-cream, bacon and maplebutter)

 It was delicious. Sorry for the lack of pic, we were just too eager to eat it all!

We had brunch with our fave, Lizzie. She's moving to Boston on Saturday, so this was a bit of a last hurruh for a while. We are going to miss her immensely.

OOTD Grace:
Bag from Collette (similar), Shoes from Target, Scarf from boohoo.com and coat from K-Mart

OOTD Claire:
Dress form JayJays forever ago, Coat form Target forever ago, Hat from Target (recently), boots from Target, bag from The Shop of Op on Chapel Street.

Photographic proof that Lizzie has been in our apartment.

Hard at work or hardly working? We spent the afternoon on the couch, under a mountain of blankets watching The Lizzie McGuire Movie and The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants. The perfect movies for a lazy Sunday afternoon.

Hello, all!

This blog is a learning process for us, so we are still trying to get a feel for what type of posts we want to do. So here is the first post of a new approach: a photodump/A Day in the Life. Often we feel like we don't know what to post about, but since this blog is about our lives in Melbourne, why not document it this way? So let us know what you think, there will be more to come!

Stay Gold,

Claire
