vintage sundresses, floral crowns and saturday breakfasts out

A couple of weekends ago we had the most beautiful spring weather here in Melbourne. That Saturday was warm enough to go without a coat, and I could have gone without the long socks, too. The warm sunshine felt so good.

I decided it was time to wear the floral crown I made a couple of years ago now (!) and wore in this post. I can’t believe how different I look now. It’s amazing, seeing that change over time.

We have a Saturday ritual: we get up, get dressed and go to breakfast at one of a few favourite Melbourne Cafes. This time it was Mixed Business in Clifton Hill.

I am always very much ready for a coffee at this time of the morning.

The eggs, avocado and marinated feta is incredibly good. I like to kid myself that it is healthy, and of course it is, until I start smearing the creamy feta on my toast. And dipping this toast into the herby, thyme-y oil. It is absolutely necessary, though. And olive oil is of course very good for you!

As is the sharing of breakfasts. The rosti is a favourite of both of ours. I enjoyed my little sampler.

And I enjoyed wearing the floral headband! I remember at the beginning of the year saying I wanted to wear more hats, and it didn’t really happen. Or, rather, it hasn’t happened yet. The year is not over, and I am seeing to fixing things. In fact, a vintage het with bows and netting arrived today... so I can fix this hat situation up right away!
