Abbotsford convent night market

The Abbotsford convent Friday night market is a fairly quaint festivity. Substantially pervaded with indies and want-to-be indies except for the few others, like me. It was nice to experience a less peaking market like this than the usual Victoria night market I go to on Wednesday nights during the summer. It's a place where evolving pioneers showcase and sell their work cheaply because they can possibly get greatly recognized and sell the cute little $1.50 cupcake I once bought, for big bucks. Branded. 

We were welcomed by food of all nations of course. Crispy salt and pepper squid and authentic paella were passing along their aromatic smells throughout the areas. The one thing I found pleasurable about this market was the presentation of the food. Other than the usual slap and chuck of food onto plastic shitty plates they're were presently beautifully with an array of herbs and thoughtfully presented food.

Ever seen a 'Biccie Burger'? mmmmm.

Without thinking twice, mum and I walked straight to this stall to inspect these lamps. A lady from Spain who just recently moved to Melbourne to get a better viewing of her products was selling lamps, badges and all sorts of things she has made alone. I bought a different version of this lamp. It is made from new and vintage tapes connected by plastic rings. I was automatically allured to this piece of art - I would call it rather than lamp - and did nothing other than buy it with no doubts. 

LOL. Not too sure about this band's success.

Gotta love some fresh, home made, organic dukkah for some tukka!

I have a huge obsession with teas. Mainly because I am fascinated by how a herb/plant/leaf (whatever you may call it) can be diluted into a cup of boiling water and have such great beneficial effects on somebody. This tea stall had the most sumptuous spectrum of teas (medicinal and flavoursome) I have seen. 

This was totally unheard of to me. It never even clicked to me that soap could come from nuts!  This is the closest you will ever get to the most pure soap on the market. In can also clean the laundry. Am I the only one finding it completely astounding?

Admittingly I stopped and stared at these delicate blue glass beads. I don't necessarily like the combination of beads on the necklace of it's style but these blue beads, oh my. 

This isn't exactly a statement that is needed to be on here, but at this time of the night there was a swarm of bats flying over the market as day turned to night. This is when we left - I'm not a bat fan and the being outside in the dark doesn't need anymore spook.

Hankering to have

It was unintentional for me to choose a selection of newbies - to add to my most recent (of many) wish lists - that all look like they could be part of one single collection, agree? I'm really gratified by digital printing on clothes now (not like it's that new). These shoes are getting me pumped (pardon the pun) for more corporate looks for my not-so-soon to come years. But I like the thought of them anyways. Furthermore... I'm 'Dion Lee' obsessed!

Commencement

Apologies for the dearth of my blog recently. Wednesday was the beginning to VCE which is a little daunting. Therefore, it may or may not take me a little longer to get my posts out, or for me to even put considerate thoughts into my outfits at times with the stress of the oncoming work load. I've got some 'outfits of the day' post coming up and a whole lot more. Until then I will persist on keeping up the posts every 2 days like I had been all holidays because honestly I love this thing! Did I mention the first day of school was on my birthday? And school photos? But my night sweetly concluded with an amazing dinner at a restaurant in South Yarra called 'Mosq'. Can't beat Moroccon/Middle Eastern cuisine... my most favoured. 

Morrison turbo Aussie takeover

As i was skimming through my weekly Grazia magazine, I stopped on the page of a brand that's winter collection had me captivated. It's name is Morrison. Apart from me being on the downside about winter fashion overrunning January's magazines already, I was happy to see such a neat, sleek and simple but unique brand. In the stolen words from Grazia "It's a mix of cool tartan, sleek separates and bright, structural pieces" - Wouldn't put it any other way. 

The one jacket that caught my eye was the tweed, oversized gravel-coloured blazer. I think I have subconciously wanted something exactly like it for a while now. The ideal jacket to layer and literally tie off any winter dress combo. 

If you like this Australian made Australian brand as much as I do then I'm sure you'd be glad to know it's going to be stoked in; Melbourne, Sydney CBD, Bondi and Brisbane Myer stores (apart from the several boutiques around Australia it is currently stocked it).
