Books for Cooks: 129/131 Therry Street, Melbourne 3000
An ideal place to find any cookbook that’s ever been published.

Mr Kitly: 381 Sydney Rd, Brunswick, Melbourne 3056
A ceramic lovers heaven. Everything for the home, kitchen and more – with many pieces sourced from local creatives and makers.

Wilkens and Kent230 Brunswick Street, Fitzroy, Melbourne 3065
A kitchenware, design and furniture store, stocking the most eclectic mix of wares, with everything from cookbooks to kitchen tables, to gardening implements and lighting.

COS Clothing Store: The Strand, 240 Elizabeth Street, Melbourne 3000
It might be an international fashion house, but I love how wearable and comfortable their clothes are, and the quality is superior while still being priced affordably.

Lunar Store: 136 Greville Street, Prahran VIC 3181.
Lunar is the cutest little gift shop, with everything from handmade ceramics and jewellery, to kooky socks and premium leather bags.

Serious food envy yesterday of @missarahglover's polenta porridge at @kettleblackcafe. Lucky she let me try some! Food always WINS here.

The most stunningly good bakeries

**COMMUNITY SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT** So @beatrixbakes just announced her weekly 'Saturday list' and she's got beestingers, potato brioche donuts, calamity janes, choc chip cookies (also known as ALL my favourite things!!)…and more on the menu. || I'm having a mini tanty over here (obviously low blood sugar related!) as I don't think I can squeeze in a visit (you know where you can go uni work…!) so all you northsiders need to go for me so I can live vicariously through you (although I would never say no to a delivery). Comprende? Good. Happy weekend-pastry-eating adventures! ✌️
