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

canberra - day one...

Day one of our fantastic Canberra mini-break!



Me, channelling an Olsen twin haha - coffee stop on the way to Canberra



Driving along the highway...



The yummiest sushi restaurant ever! Wasabi sushi in Manuka



Sashmi bento box



Terriyaki Beef bento box



Part of V's early birthday present was a hot-floor workshop at the Canberra Glassworks



Heating the glass (he made a bird!)



I left all my make-up at home, so was very excited to find a Napolean store in Canberra city centre! I cannot live without my Napolean Barely Blushing liquid blush, its basically the only make-up I ever wear



Cocktails at the Julep Lounge in Manuka - a Girl Next Door (mine) and a Pisco Sour (V's)



 Sretsis double bow dress
 Tony Bianco "foxie" heels



The Julep Lounge is my favourite, favourite place to go for drinks in Canberra - I love the decor and the amazing cocktail menu





How funky is the leather bar?

We went out for dinner this night to Waters Edge and had a truly amazing meal. Unfortunately I didn't take my camera, so no food photos, sorry!
