that perfect saturday (with lots of pink things and even more food)

Here is my Saturday from a couple of weekends ago. Remember the one where I went away for the night? Well, this is that day. It was my first day with my pink hair (wow, it's faded so much since then, and I cannot wait to experiment with pastel lilac hair next!) and was yet another of our wonderful Melbourne winter days. Still, I have to stress these aren't the norm for us; just a few days later I was outdoors in the early afternoon, shivering in lots of layers plus my long wool coat and sinking into rain soaked mud... brrr, enough of that, and back to the sunny Saturday.

We started the day by meeting with some friends for breakfast at a cafe in Coburg. I really liked the light fittings and the place looked great. Mushrooms, salmon, poached eggs and toast... we then went and visited some more friends who are renovating at the moment. It's coming along so well and I can't wait to see it all finished – not as much as them though, I know! After that it was off to Fitzroy where I bought a pair of shoes that were on sale for 70% off (yew!) and will feature in a post very soon, and then it was time to go home and pack for our night away.

My streamline makeup for the night – traveling light!

We stayed at our friend's house, an amazing art deco place with a real, working fireplace... bliss. He also cooked up the most amazing roast chicken I've had in my life, and we thought, you know, three people, three bottles... it was such a good Saturday! More please!
