Info Post
black jumper vintage skirt g Last Saturday, we had a very house-y day. Not in a stay-at-home kind of way, but a visit-and-get-ideas way. It was lovely. I am sprucing our place at the moment and love looking at interiors!

We went to Blue Bird cafe in Collingwood, where John had a delicious (I know because I got a good bite, obviously) chorizo burger, and I had fresh fruit salad and muesli. I'd forgotten how good fruit is here in summer, and can't wait to stock up on more.

Maybe blue hydrangeas. coral bottles I loved all the strong coral. coral salad bowl Like this salad bowl and – I'm having a mind blank – tongs? Salad stirry-and-servey-things! coral cushion The cushions match nicely. the cool hunter cool houseI like the colourful paper balls in the high ceiling space. I think some here at home would work well. collingwood tower Collingwood is one of my favourite suburbs in Melbourne, with lots of beautiful old buildings, some of which are pretty run down. I'd love to have a look inside this tower. Now it was time to head down to Prahran – pronounced Pa-rann if you're not familiar! – to have a look at The Design Files Open House. tdf open house view from upstairs More bright colours... tdf open house shelves ... and that gorgeous coral shade again... book art nj tdf open house ... I love these. tdf open house treesEven the garden was super colourful. windsor viewAnd this is the view over Prahran. So classically Melbourne, with corrugated roofs, chimneys and palm trees. black jumper vintage skirt a And then it was time to prance about in a laneway in St Kilda, which is a very important weekend activity! I was wearing my vintage skirt with rust coloured stripes and blue and black flowers, my Gorman rust suede platforms and an asos black jumper with a white collar. After a few hot days, it was wonderful to have a cooler spell. black jumper vintage skirt b I saw a photograph of my aunt-in-law, from the late 1950s, where she was wearing a similar skirt with a collar and jumper, and she looked amazing. Direct inspiration for me. black jumper vintage skirt cblack jumper vintage skirt dI pinned my hair up in a casual up do, and curled the front sections. It was pretty windy and after several hours of driving and walking, it definitely was getting very casual! black jumper vintage skirt fPastel peach nails inspired by Marnie, which we watched the night before. black jumper vintage skirt kI love ivy, and would like to get a full wall of it, like this, growing at home. black jumper vintage skirt iblack jumper vintage skirt jcat lanewayA cat wanted to know what we were up too. black and white catBut he wanted to sit alone in the sun even more. I understand. Clever cat. We were ready to go home and sit down, too. After an exhausting few days, it was nice to relax.
