JOEY SCANDIZZIO...you genius thing, you.

After every visit to Joey, my bangs are getting shorter and shorter...and shorter. Today was the day for my scheduled chop and he managed to outdo himself yet again (check out Joey's work here).  Joey's *hot stuff in my neck of the woods and tops the list of bob cutters (seriously). Needless to say, I've been twisting and turning and loving taking a moment all-about-me (&Joey).

 Joey, here's a big fat XOX for you on behalf of my hair and your admirers!

Bobbing for apples

snapped this morning on may way to work - Collins St.

Bobbing for apples? Well, the apples are bobbing for us in Lindt's new window display. Last night I witnessed the clean up of the window in preparation for the new fitting. I wasn't expecting this - it's got a good dose of fun with bobbing apple-flavoured-macaroon-filled tubes springing into action on our first day of...you guessed it, spring!

Capital Kitchen

 

Breakfast at Capital Kitchen on the weekend with my girliefriend Clare. This was one of our least photogenic days but I had to show you the smiles this place left on our noggins. Lounging at our private little white-washed table with Capital Kitchen's brick exposed walls and perfect colour palette (white, yellow & grey) all 'round, we nibbled our way through the simplest brekky (toast and jam) feeling like we were indulging in such a treat. It was all ultra moreish - inspired by it all, I tried my hand at food photography. Have to admit I'm a little proud of my toast picture. Fair to say, this place is topping our list of brekky/brunch spots. It's not just the delicious looking eats available that make it so good. After two coffees and 3 goss-hours later, we spent what was left of a beautiful morning checking out the Kitchen's home decor store. It's got everything but the kitchen sink.

Hot air

taken by my iPhone - again, please excuse the poor clarity. This is the view from my studio early AM. See those things spotting the sky? They're hot air balloons (they appear further away than what they really are). It doesn't matter how many times I see them, when I wake up to balloons floating by my window I always (yes, always) get this ridiculous ear-to-ear grin. I don't know why they make me so happy... how can you look at them and not feel like you must stop and
smell the roses!

The Candy Room

images taken by my iPhone - apologies for the poor clarity.

This place exists in Melbourne's CBD. The Candy Room could take your fancy if you were addicted to the sugar eats it stocks...or you'd be back again and again to take in the total experience. Toying with the concept of illusion and drawing your inner kid out, Red Design has reason for cheer with it's playful design and well branded and packaged treats. Stretching the 'rules' of the August Break, I'm including some better quality photos (not taken by my phone) to do this post justice.

The August Break

via

I'm a tad late to jump on board with this but am going to give it a go. I came across this great idea over at Hearted Girl. The plan for the August Break is that you simply share one photo (or more!) per day on your blog – Monday to Friday, or every day. Susannah Conway, the lady behind the great idea, already has 782 members (me being the 783rd).  I'm looking forward to it...I always end up with photos of something that inspired me that day but rarely find the words to make it blog worthy. So, here goes. I'll be posting from 29 Aug - 4 Sept.
