Hobba

via

Hobba is the project from the team behind Malvern's Williams Espresso. With Coffee guru Gerrick Numan, head chef Josh Powell, whose got stints at Vue de Monde, Circa and famed UK eatery Fat Duck under his belt, it's pretty easy to see Hobba is already a few leaps ahead of the pack. This converted garage, understated, under-designed escape into the world of (new) cafe cool will have you needing more. Hands down, this is without doubt the best Breakfast (even deserves a capital B) I have experienced here in Melbourne (if you know one thing, you'll know I'm serious about breakfast). Seems there are a few people who'd agree...be prepared to wait. Line-ups extend out the door and down the road!

My Sunday 13 Nov 9.30am hit its high with a serve of 62.5c egg (egg poached to a translucent white and buttery yolk, as promised), asparagus, myrtleford butter poached salmon, goat’s cheese, pickled celery, apple, peas $21.

Ehhm..shall I add it's 'round the corner from my abode! Yep.

Head in the clouds

...Lately, time and brain power to tap on the board has been limited so I've resorted to this. Pinning and re-pinning images. Looking at pretty stuff and drifting as I break for 30seconds between jobs. Check it out. Be warned...it's addictive.

Friday's Frock

..a new blog to link back to? Check. Some effortlessly beautiful styling in Friday's Frock? Check. Equipped at my desk with a good strong coffee? Check. A trip back home (t'moro morning) to be packed with my girlfriend's wedding, a Birthday Brekky (yum), family time and catch-ups with people I love to bits? Check. Seems my w'end is sorted... Hope yours spins out all sorts of fun too!

Living in a tree-house via my bedroom window...

I mentioned I moved, right? The specs are: I took a hop skip and a JUMP into an apartment directly opposite my previous rental/tiny/studio/box to a gorgeous art-deco one bedroom DREAM. More to be posted on this (pics too)...for now, just trust me when I carry on about how amazing this thing is. On the top floor of a two-storey building housing 6 of us, I get to wake up every day and look right amongst the lush green tree tops that filter the morning sun's rays. Beautiful. Every morning, I take a second and think I'm living in a tree-house...it's picture perfect. Then my alarm rings from snooze and reality sets in to get me out of dreamworld and into work mode...

Home of Lucy Glad-Wright

As I'm slowly making this gorgeous deco space my own, I'm on the hunt in every possible direction for inspiration from those who've done the same.  This Melbourne home is where I'm drawing a tonne of inspiration from at the moment. Melbourne designer Lucy Glad-Wright has done it all right...I can hear you agreeing with me!
