Aussie Street Style

First of all, keep in mind that these photos were taken a year ago. This was the end of Aussie summer season in 2011. They were so ahead of us in the States! 

Cut offs, cropped tees, high-waisted bottoms, navajo print, vintage florals, over-sized tops, collars, sheer shirts, vintage booties, and retro sneakers. Very bohemian, very retro, very laid back. I saw so much more than I actually photographed. I would love to see some Aussie street fashion in the winter when there are more layers.

We spent a few days hanging out in Fitzroy, a funky and gritty neighborhood of Melbourne, because we loved it so much. This place was lined with cool shops and one-of-a-kind restaurants and cafes, each one designed so well. It was also full of young people with modern-vintage style, so it was a good place to people-watch and make you want to change your entire wardrobe. We visited a handmade artist's market on the weekend and took way too many photos of graffiti because it was all so good. This is when I decided that if I ever open a shop or restaurant, I'm coming to Melbourne to get inspiration. Australians have great taste. 

The next post is our last post from Australia and it's a street fashion post!

We were lucky to be in the area for the Rose Street Artist's Market where around 100 local artists and designers sell some pretty neat things journals, jewelry, and home decor pieces. 

We had dinner at the Little Creatures Dining Hall... one of the coolest restaurants ever. They brew their own beer, make delicious food with good ingredients, and have a big ol' warehouse-style dining room. 

Picking herbs from the restaurant's window boxes on the street. 

Ready to go picnic baskets! Such a good idea! Genius restaurant.

Today we have more photos to share around Melbourne.

On Sunday, we headed to St. Kilda, a suburb of Melbourne, to check out the weekly street market. It wasn't really our style (more touristy, less stylish) and definitely didn't compare to Glebe Market in Sydney. But, we were happy to be by the beach and to check out the endless pastry shops in St. Kilda!

We went to the top floor of the mall to get a free view of the city (this photo was taken through the windows of the Apple store). 

On the tram, headed to St. Kilda. 

St. Kilda Esplanade Market

Luna Park.... St. Kilda's iconic amusement park. 

The pastry shops were endless... and they were all along one street. Who eats all this cake?!

One pastry would have been big enough to share, but we couldn't narrow it down so we ordered three!

Coffee rum roula. 

We fell in love with Grill'd burgers in Sydney, and couldn't resist having it once more in Melbourne.

I absolutely love the fun painting and writing on the walls of the restaurant.
