I don't often go to Fitzroy side but I am really glad I went this morning and attended the artist talk: Beci Orpin about her happiness via Melbourne Creative Morning. Inspiring and talented illustrator! After the talk, me and my friend went for brunch at one of favourite locals, Slowpoke. Melbourne-based French designer Anne-Sophie Poirier aka Sasufi has designed the interior of this cafe with a very limited budget and has been shortlisted for the Australian Interior Design Awards 2012. Poirier made use of offcuts from local furniture makers who use recycled timbers to decorate a 12 meter long wall in the cafe. Read the full review via Broadsheet.

Aoi

 

Ao (hiragana あお; kanji 青; adjective form aoi (青い?)) is a Japanese color word that includes what English-speakers would call BLUE.

People from other continents are enjoying summer here. St Kilda Beach, Melbourne.

Albert Park Lake

The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes (butdoesitfloat). I have a relationship with this space, Albert Park Lake, Melbourne. Here's a place where I spent my morning for jogging. Its difficult to resist not stoping my step to take some pictures. Those beauty bring me happiness, relaxing my eyes from busy metropolitan views.

Lost & Found Market

Lost & Found market, 1-5 Perry St, Collingwood, Melbourne.

Lost & Found market is exactly across the road from Harvest Textiles workroom. This place is very similar to Chapel St Bazar. Both of them filled with bizarre bits and bobs from years past, a crazy selection of vintage goodness from floral dresses, retro furniture until cute game boy.  Worth a visit. Photographed by Nani Puspasari.
