Live, Love, Local

LIVE/  Christmas in July is big here in Australia since winter falls during this time of year.  Alex and I went up to the Dandenongs this past weekend for a hike and had tea and scones at Miss Marples Tea Room in Sassafras.  The dining area was decked out for the holidays and even had fake snow on the roof.  Cute right?!

LOVE/  I’m loving the polka dot trend this season.  Here are a few of my favorites:  Janice bra from Anthropologie, This black and white polka dot dress and Roxy Marj spotted cardstock envelopes.

LOCAL/  Ponyfish Island is one of my favorite places to grab a drink in Melbourne.  It’s especially fun in the summer but still sees crowds during the winter.  I went here with a friend recently  and sat under heat lamps with a hot bowl of soup and cider.
