Bows and macaroons

The other day I went to explore the suburb of Balmain with my boyfriend. I hadn't been before- but after spending the day there I can say that I will definately be back.

Dress: Cheapo clothes store in Chatswood- $16 from $40ish

Wrap: Roy ($25 from $120)
Bag: Wittner ($40 from $190)

Shoes: Shoe shop in Japan (in my fave colour- BLURPLE!)

It's one of those suburbs with one main street of shops, restaurants and cafes. The main street was Darling Street, which we strolled up and down. The selection of shops were alright- I didn't really find any clothes I fell in love with. But I felt like a very lucky girl when my boyfriend insisted on buying me the cutest bow headband.. (thank you!!) Now anyone who knows me knows I absolutely adore bows. Bows on clothes, shoes, jewellery- in my hair. It might seem to cutesy to some- but I think as long as you don't overdo it with other accessories, and wear something not to fussy, then it can make a really sweet look.

Talking of sweet... we stopped in at Adriano Zumbo. I've wanted to go for a while now, after seeing his genius on Masterchef- and seeing food blogs rave about his holy creations. Oh. my. god. I was drooooling just looking at all the pastries. And they tasted even better. To start off our Zumbo journey, we were given a free Vegemite macaroon to try. The sales girl said she was frustrated that no one wanted to try it, and she wanted to prove how good they were. I can understand that- because I detest Vegemite. But I was surprised when I actually liked a lot, probably because the taste of Vegemite was very subtle. We then devoured a jam donut, mango stickyrice macaroon, and an apricot danish.

Mango sticky rice macaroon. Frikken amazing.

All were devilishly delicious. The fact that this man can make something so simple as a jam donut so mouthwatering is a true display of his creativity and artistry.

My lovely boy :)

I am already dreaming about my next visit!
