Vintage Fair

Following the post on events held at the Royal Exhibition Building, one that stays in my mind was the vintage fair. One was held again for the summer just recently on early October this year but sadly I had to passed on that. Still, I have faith that it was as marvelous as the fall's.

the array of pretty vintage dresses mostly from the sixties greeted us first thing. 

can't help trying on several of them. hee. 

the most interesting things I managed to find. scented candles in pretty teacups, isn't it brilliant?

The items offered in the fair was really well curated. My friend snatched this wonderful piece of vintage luggage and she decided to name it Teddy! Amazing thing about him, not only he serves as a luggage, he's also an emergency stool and a tres chic table top!

me sitting on Teddy *thank God it didn't fall apart* wearing vintage dress, blazer and bag with Forever New loafer heels.

Don't worry, I also did a teeny tiny bit of shopping. Hint: It is somewhere hidden in these pictures. Will post on that later!

Camberwell Sunday Market

I dare say Camberwell Sunday Market is the best flea market ever. Surprises and unique finds are guaranteed every visit.

I seriously don't mind visiting every week. Hooked is the word. Will post on my lucky finds later on!

Paddington

Spent noon afterwards in the Paddington area to visit the market especially.

entrance

OMIGOSH LOOK AT ALL THE SUNNIES. reminds me of designs by illesteva and a pair even resembles miu miu noir in this stall!

pretty pop-up cards of Sydney's and worldwide landmarks

budding designers got a spot too!

 Interesting at first but personally I much prefer the Camberwell Sunday market in Melbourne. Will be posting about that very soon.

the cutest array of shops. and the forever gorgeous mini cooper. sighs.

breathtaking view of a lane on the way back, somehow it reminds me of san fransisco. weird, huh?

Last stop in Sydney. The trip has been lovely but I am more than ready to go back to Melbourne. See you later, Syd!

The Rocks

Got to visit Sydney the other week and ended up in a food coma after the trip. It all started with a visit back to The Rocks on the weekend to find goodies and reunite with one my old loves, THE pie.

can't help being so excited when i finally spot the sign of the place that houses le pie.

french owned la renaissance.

crowd in The Rocks, titter-tottering for goodies and food.

HELLOOOOOO DEAR! meet my old love, the beef bourguignon pie  

mmm mm.

Next stop after filling our tummies up is, of course, the market. Couldn't help stopping upon this stall and I came out with a unique piece of accessory. Success.

all the pretty little things.

can you guess what caught my eyes? *drumrolls* it's the book ring!

Stay tuned for the rest of the Sydney trip posts!
