canberra - day two...

Our second day in Canberra...



We found a lovely cafe for breakfast in Kingston, where we were staying, called Cafe Velo



Yummy coffee!



Me at the National Gallery, about to go in for the Paris Masterpieces exhibition!!! So excited!



This nailpolish is by OPI and is called 'We'll Always Have Paris' - I thought it was very appropriate



After the exhibition (which was just mind-blowingly good btw) we headed in to Koko Black for morning tea...



Perusing the menu...





The Summer Spoil tasting plate, and a hot chocolate



Best iced chocolate ever!



 Rodarte for Target nude tulle dress



Of course we had to buy chocolate at Koko Black!



In the courtyard of the hotel in Kingston, about to head out for lunch...






 Marc Jacobs blouse
 Sewn shorts
 Tony bianco "maya" flats
 Bronze bow necklace from etsy



Driving to the Poacher's Pantry for lunch...



Yummy Wily Trout savignon blanc, grown and made in the area



Poacher's Pantry tasting plate - smoked meats and seafood with dips, vegetables and house-made breads


We headed out to a nice little Italian restaurant in Kingston for dinner...











 Sass&bide hulsey strutters
 Country Road tee
 Tony Bianco "foxie" heels



We had to grab the obligatory exciting-looking cocktail first...



I believe this was some sort of punch, but the name now escapes me

  1. Koko Black is fantastic.
    I am not a huge chocolate fan, but I adore the quality and elegance of Koko Black. The desserts are great. Much prefer it to Max Brenner.
    In Melbourne I go to a place called Fraus Crepery and Chocolat - they serve hot chocolate thick like custard.
    No other hot chocolates compare to Fraus and Koko Black.
    Glad you had a great time in Canberra. You look very beautiful.

    I love the way you do your hair with the braid across the top.
