Pressing Issues

My brother was down from Perth the other weekend for what seemed like a coffee expedition. He is convinced the best coffee in the world is a Cimba from Cimbalinos in Cottesloe (which is damn good) but I still wanted to prove that there an other establishments that make an acceptable cappuccino. Hello Manchester Press.

I had the chorizo bagel even though we had literally just eaten... I just can't come to places like this and not eat. So good.

Pacos Tacos

It was Grace's birthday celebrations and our night started with a glass of red at Siglo on an unseasonably nice winter night. What a nice place to admire a full moon and hot people in suits - many a 'young professional' as my mum would say.

Craving some solids, we headed up to Pacos Tacos of Bourke St, near William. I'm loving the latino food explosion - I don't think I had even really had proper mexican food before I moved to Melbourne. Not even one mexican place comes to mind when I think of Perth. Well there might be now but definitely not when I moved. Once unchartered territory, I literally have Mexican at least once a fortnight but I still have some places to try - Mamasita (will I ever get a table?), Bluecorn and Fonda.

Anyway Pacos Tacos is perfect for a later night drink and snack. I think I could live off corn and sangria. Well I could live off THIS corn anyway - is it embarrassing to order corn and then go back and order more corn?

Beachy Keen

Benah's washed out beach print silk scarf says everything about how I want to be dressing this summer - relaxed, homely, simple and small details that would only be noticed with a lingering glance.

Sorry I Died.

But now I've come back to life! The combination of starting my surgical rotation + crappy weather + no internet connection + basically all my friends evacuating Melbourne have meant that my days are more mundane than insane. But anyway my bro came to visit me this weekend so any coffees were had. Day 1 - Yellow Bird, Market Lane Coffee, and St Ali Coffee at Gramercy Bistro.

We got into the op-shopping spirit and Luke bought these pedophile glasses for $9. What a bargain.
