Blogger Bingo

I've always said the best thing about blogging is meeting people you otherwise wouldn't have met. I think my adventures with Fran are a testament to that. So when there's a blogger event on, I love going to meet new people, and you've always got something to talk about! Nuffnang invited us to The Cullen Hotel in Prahran to get our grandma on and play some bingo! Unfortunately that's a word I didn't yell on the night because I wasn't lucky enough to win ☹ but we still got an awesome goodie bag complete with free cider.

Greville Village Market

If there's one thing Melbourne loves it's markets, and a new one has just sprung up on the ever so trendy Greville Street in Prahran. Soaking in the warm Spring sun, we strolled down the little designer market admiring the wares. One of my favourite designers Limedrop was there and I tried on their new rainbow 'Funglasses' (see what they did there :)). They tinted the world a different colour depending on how the light was reflecting off them.

ISIT Cafe | Prahran

You know when you find a cafe that actively encourages breakfast drinking that you've hit the jackpot. Bloody Mary, Champagne cocktail or Espresso Martini with your eggs miss? Um - yes please! ISIT Cafe is in an adorable little eatery in Prahran in a little done-up townhouse. It feels a little bit like a gallery with artwork lining the walls and beautiful wooden floors and furniture. 

Gatsby At Vivian's

We stepped back in time to the roaring 20s for the launch of renowned bridal hair and makeup artist Vivian Ashworth's first salon. Her place was adorned with sparkles and gold, because what's a Gatsby party without a bit of bling. The centre table held so many beautiful lipsticks, eye shadows and lip-glosses, and all cruelty free of course, and some of Melbourne's finest attended including Richard Nylon and the girls from Pybus PR.

The Moser Room

A couple of nights ago I went to a 21st in an amazing venue in Melbourne called The Moser Room. Located in the heart of Chapel Street, Prahran (pronounced Pa-ran), is this Victorian meets Moroccan themed bar. With baroque lounges and lavish chandeliers, The Moser Room was a little piece of luxury amongst Melbourne's busy nightlife. 

Brown Brothers Hidden Vineyard

After wandering down a side street in Prahran, we entered into a wonderland of vineyards, gigantic fruit and picnic baskets. What looked like a regular old building from the front, was actually a whimsical cheese-filled valley of destiny. We were greeted at the door by the lovely hostess and escorted inside to our picnic area where we were treated to complimentary wine and cheese.
