After brunch, Bridge and I checked out William Street Fashion Festival. The cool kids were out and about; sipping their lattes, walking their dogs, sitting on sofas outside shopfronts singing along to John Farnham... How cute is Bridge's yellow sweater? x.

On Saturday morning, Bridge, Juz and I caught up for brunch at Viva Cafe*. Though it was a drab day, the large windows let in light that was ideal for shooting. I purposely didn't bring my G11 so I could test the camera on my new phone... I got a tad excited with the Vignette app! I fell in love with the cafe from across the street. The decor is cool (I love the retro tables), the waiters are friendly and the food is yummy (I don't like telling people what to order but you have to try the Reuben sandwich). It also doesn't hurt to be in good company! Hope you have a great start to the week (I can't believe it's almost October). x.

 *Bridge and Kiki raved about this place a while back so I was keen to check it out.

Florence + The Machine's new album, Ceremonials will be released in The UK on 31st October 2011 and in The US 7th November 2011. Can't wait! Happy Friday! x.

I haven't forgotten about you. My mind has been elsewhere. I'll be back shortly. x.

I'm super excited for summer... bold patterns, bright colours and sexy stilettos! Happy FNO! Hope you have a great weekend. x.

Yet, another food post.

Yesterday, Uncle J and I ate lunch at Youeni Provides. I'm not a big fan of the midday meal but this place has changed my mind. Like Revolver, it is situated on a funky street corner with notice boards to greet you upon your arrival. I love the white jugs that water and freshly squeezed juices come in, the French ceramic salad bowls, the super tasty and tender pulled pork sandwiches (the bread is aaaamazing) and the cute guys behind the counter... definitely worth a second visit! x.

Yesterday, I took Mum to my favourite cafe for brunch. I love everything about the place: the street corner, the noticeboard outside the front door, the textured upholstery, the ornate cups and saucers, the little timer that comes with the custom blend teas, the coffee, the fresh bread and muffins, the music, the friendly waitstaff... Such attention to detail. x.

Yesterday was the first day of spring. Hooray! Like Anne and Christie, I have several goals for this summer and plan on accomplishing/documenting every one of them (lucky you!) but before I do I need to sort them out (they're just random thoughts at the moment). In the meantime, here are a few photos of last night's dinner at Uncle J's.

Happy Friday! Hope you have a lovely weekend.
