Markets, presents and sparkling dresses!

Officially started Christmas shopping! A friend and I have been trying to find unique places to do this years Christmas shopping. As much as we love our late night Christmas eve shop at Chadstone, we hope this year we are abit more prepared. We have stumbled across a new market in North Melbourne- which is called exactly that! specialised in 70 different stalls for special gifts for your loved ones. Make your way there for the next installments on the 9/12/12.


We were lucky enough to experience a full day of sunshine in the city of Melbourne! We headed for Bourke street where the Myer windows have began! and seeing the lines of people we thought we'd come back for them. The Royal arcade seemed like a nice spot to explore, the historical roof and charming floor soon has you thinking your in a dream. There is so many little shops in there you just can't find anywhere else, whether it be the magical shop of spells or the Russian Babushka shop.


Next we made our way to the GPO, like the Royal arcade a place I feel happy to let my eyes wonder on the expensive clothing, macaroons and shoes! I of course had to visit my new favourite store. Anaessia is the first store I have walked in and felt like someone has just created all my dream dresses. It will bring out the girl in you with all that sparkles and lace handmade flowers and the detail will amaze you. Every dress has been handmade and is nothing like anything you'll find, even in the high couture stores.

If you aren't lucky enough to be in Melbourne to see Anaessia's shop- they have one in Sydney too! check out the website- http://www.anaessia.com/ and they have a blog! http://anaessia.blogspot.com.au/ make sure you go, even if it's just to say you've touched a dress worth $4,000+ !

Hope you have all began the Christmas shopping!

Wednesday nights at The Suzuki Night Market..

The Suzuki Night Market has began, have you been? Your mouth will start watering as you make your way to the Queen Victoria Market venue. Filled with arrange of different foods of food from around the world African curry, Asian dumplings, Dutch pancakes to Spanish Paella! 

Lucky for my friends and I it was the first night which meant not many had caught on yet that it had began- making it a more enjoyable experience without the shuffling crowds. The market also has a new addition with the 'String Bean Ally' which is where you will find market stalls in shipping containers.

We were happy to find also our new favourite stall 'Mecino' there again. Ok Ok we may have bought more earrings! but how can you resit the beauty of her designs!

Here are my new addition to the earring collection-

Summer is just round the corner, which means markets and beach time! I really am not one for the love of hot days, but if that means I can escape to the beach and watch the sparkling water count me in!

So good to be on holidays and experience some new markets- today consisting of The Fine Design Market at Doncaster. The next one is
-


2nd Dec @ Fed Square
www.melbournedesignmarket.com.au 
I was pleasantly surprised to find new designers there I haven't seen at previous markets. The talent is outstanding and very inspiring!  Some of the beautiful vintage jewellery designers such as 'Mecino' stock the most stunning pieces you will find- for those with fine vintage taste!

This piece I bought my Nan for her birthday this Nov. I also treated myself with these gorgeous swallow earrings. There are so many unique pieces, you'll fall in love with her designs and want all of them!


 Check out Michelle's collection here online

Most of the designers will also be at The Suzuki Market @ Vic Market which starts this Wednesday!

Hi there! Welcome to my blog. I have been following other blogs for sometime now and always wanted to create my own. I have to admit though I am not a writer! I hope I can inspire and share my life with you as best as I can! To let you in on what's been going on in my life so far..
I've just turned 26 and live in Melbourne with my boy, Sven.
I'm DIY fantic, I would rather make it than buy it :)
Most people say when they first meet me i am the quietest person they know. Depending on the person and how long I know them, they soon see that I am not always the quietest- but most of the time.
I just finished studying Fashion Business at Melbourne School of Fashion and have also studied there peviously Pattern making and garment construction. If you are a lover of design, fashion, art, travel, music, hair/beauty, dance and more be my guest to follow me.
