Current obsessions...

I must admit, I have an obsessive personality. I find something I like and either wear it every day, pine for it ever day, watch it every day or use it every day! These are some of the things I have currently constantly in my thoughts..... MY NEW FAVOURITE POLISH: CHANEL 'JUNE'

Perfect every day colour (matches my ring beautifully too! hehehe)

MY NEW WOOD BLOCK CALENDAR: TYPO Loving this, except I must admit sometimes the blocks stay on the same date for a couple of days in a row.. I'm forgetful!!!

PRETZELS & POPCORN: Yummy snacks Seriously. I realised after I looked into the bottom of the empty pretzel bag that I need help. I was CRAVING these all day. Then devoured them. Embarrassing.

LULU: MY CAT My parents laugh at me because they think I'm more excited to see her at the end of the day than to see them. I am. Why is that funny?

THIS TEA POT/CUP: HILARIOUS EVERY TIME I LOOK AT IT.

THIS PHONE: I WANT IT I have no idea where to get this but I want it. Now.

There will be more obsessions next week I'm sure. I'll keep you posted. Love, Angie. L

Wonderful Weekend!

What a wonderful weekend I had! With wedding planning and working 2 jobs to save for it taking up all my time, getting to have a couple of days of socialising was exactly what I needed! It started off on Friday night with a dinner at the fabulous COMME in Melbourne's CBD. It was a birthday celebration of a wonderful friend who deserved a great night out with the girls!

The 7 of us sat at a long table and took ages to decide what to eat as we kept chatting and chatting and catching up. We devoured the bread and butter which, we know we shouldn't fill up on but it was too good not to! 6 out of 7 of us ordered the same thing! Steak frites, English watercress & béarnaise (Sirloin)and it was DELICIOUS.

We had sides as well (Oak leaf Salad, goats cheese & walnuts and Green beans, lardons, almonds & anchovy butter) and amazing dessert. We shared proposal stories, birthing stories (a couple which have terrified me) and laughed more than I have in a long time. All in all it was a fabulous night. I think the beautiful Birthday girl enjoyed it too! Then, Saturday lunch it was off to 3 BAGS FULL in Richmond which was great. ( http://www.threebagsfullcafe.com.au/ ) It was super busy so we were told we would have to wait a little. Our coffees came quickly and luckily my gorgeous friend and I had a lot to catch up on and the hour wait on food went past fast as we chatted away.

I must say the coffee was fabulous! I wanted to order a second one but I'm trying to cut back so I drank the 1st one very slowly.. hehehe I ordered pumpkin fritters which were delicious and worth the wait. I will be going back for sure on a quieter day so I can try some more things from the menu. The breakfasts sounded divine!

Then it was an impromptu stop on High Street at STUZZI for another coffee and catch up (see, lucky I didn't have a second one at 3 BAGS FULL). All in all a fabulous day- but it wasn't done yet. I headed home and a couple of Aunts and Uncles came for dinner. Mum cooked a moussaka which was so so yummy and had grilled some fish and vegetables to perfection. After dinner I pulled out a box of old black and white photos and loved seeing my Grandfather's brother remember moments of his history. It was precious to listen to stories about the photos or to be told who was in them and about these people I'd never met. So so wonderful.

It was refreshing to see that men, once upon a time, dressed like MEN. In suits and hats and perfectly brill creamed hair! Those were the days. So that was my wonderful weekend full of all my favourite people and things. I wish every weekend was just as fabulous. Love, Angie. L
