Sidney Loves Audrey

Sayers with Iris for a catch up brunch after a visit to Love Thy Neighbour was overthrown as it was shut, we decided to go somewhere cute and quaint for dessert and something to keep us warm. We discovered Sidney Loves Audrey on Fitzgerald Street, a combined store and cafe diner. I was completely taken up by the living earth jars and the other bits and bobs around the cafe. Unlike you first thought, Sidney and Audrey aren't the names of the two store owners, but rather the names of their two adorable dogs. I would definitely recommend visiting if you're into homely little cafes with upside down cake and hot chocolate.

Gordon Street Garage

Chantel, Iris and I met up for late lunch/early dinner at a sweet place Chantel found one time she was aching for a coffee. Gordon Street reminds me of a smaller, indie version of Little Creatures in Fremantle. The food is great and although the desserts are a little pricey, definitely something to be tried. It's best to go with a couple of people and swap around desserts to try as many as you can because they are honestly so delicious.

Macarons and lillies

When coming back from Sydney after summer school in January/Feb, Jason brought back some Zumbarons for us to try, mint chocolate chip, chocolate, vanilla malt milkshake, vanilla bean, cinnamon donut and lastly mandarin. He also bought an Adrianno Zumbo recipe book from Kinokunya - possibly my favourite place to purchase books. It's a book worm's heaven. Also received some daisies and lillies which slowly opened up over a few days, with the flowers lasting about three weeks. Especially through tough days balancing work and uni, it definitely brightened my mornings and outlook for the rest of the day. Only thing is I didn't have a vase so they sort of just sat in a large bucket on my bedroom floor.

Amelie

For all Perth people, Rooftop movies are a must! Situated atop the Roe Street Carpark in Northbridge is a cinema showing classics, new releases and all time favourites. Movies have ranged from Casablanca, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Mean Girls, Spritied Away, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Fight Club, Blades of Glory and Anchor Man. There have been far, far more that show and sometimes if particularly popular they are shown again the next season. Rooftop movies run during the end of Spring to the beginning of Autumn or until the weather permits, just don't forget to bring a cushion for the seats as they can get a bit uncomfortable!

Cafe Elixir

Snaps (courtesy of the lovely Iris Bautista) from a High Tea I organised a few weeks ago for Iris, Kate and Annie. You should definitely give Cafe Elixir a visit with your girlfriends. Maybe even take your mothers out for a treat. High Tea is always a good idea and although Cafe Elixir is a little out of the way for some people, there are some closer places to the city. Rochelle Adonis is another beautiful place for High Tea in Mt Lawley as is Koko Black in Claremont. They have vegetarian and vegan options and the service is friendly and welcoming.

Sophy

Just finished her, it's 1.49am and I should be sleeping but I couldn't help post her up.
