quaint cafes and a darling friend (out & about)

Thursday, January 17, 2013

On Wednesday my sweet friend Abbey and I decided to spend the day taking in the beauty and hidden nooks and crannies in our local town. We headed out early, at precisely nine and went straight for my favourite op-shop, the 'Smiley' opshop where I picked up a few pretty trinkets (which, if you follow me on instagram, you would've seen already hehe)! After that we headed to the most charming café ever, called Husk and Honey. It's relatively new here and many have said wonderful things about the vast array of gluten and grain free menu items. We both ordered a delicious free salad with natural yoghurt, honey, macadamias and these strange (but delicious!) red berries that might have been goji berries, but I can't be sure. Then for drinks she ordered a latte and I ordered a hot chocolate. After chatting away and taking pretty pictures of our food we headed to a gorgeous new boutique next door to the cafe called My Secret Sister's Wardrobe.

Oh my gosh. It is the most precious little shop ever! The decorating is so gorgeous and the girls who run it are super friendly and let me take pictures. It was a little mixture of vintage dresses and new things and Abbey and I were finding it hard to not blow our money on the pretty frocks and shoes! As you can see from the above pictures, they've decorated it very nicely... in a fresh, quirky way. I hope to drop in again soon. It was such a lovely day out and I really missed Abbey and it was lovely to catch up with her before school starts again ♥

I hope you all are having a wonderful week so far! I sure have, probably because I'm desperate to make the most of what's left of my holidays. Lots of love xoxo

Isn't she a pretty lady?
We even headed back there for afternoon tea! Iced chocolate, yum!

I have found my dream shoes...

Bonjour, world! Nope, I'm not dead, but thanks for asking! I'm not even going to bother explaining my two week absence. Just picture a tired young girl swamped in assessment and you have it spot on. Don't worry, as soon as the Easter holidays begin in the first week of April I will be able to devote more time to Avenue M. I bought a lovely vintage dress a few weeks ago that I am dying to show off; look forward to that outfit post! 

Anyway, I have found my dream shoes. No, really. Milkcocoa is apparel's best kept secret and I absolutely had to share it with you all. I was instantly taken in by the sweet photography and the lovely way they've styled each shoe. The first pair remind me so much of The Cherry Blossom Girl! I'm really tempted to just go ahead and buy the second pair... (they are only $32 AUD!) 
Take a peak for yourself, they are to die for ♥
