Fox and Beau visit Melbourne - Our top places to go!

We under packed our suitcases and set sail to Melbourne. As we arrived, the weather was cold and Katie wanted to find somewhere to exchange money. Why? Because Melbourne is so different to Sydney that it felt like a different country! Contrary to the Melbourne/Sydney rivalry, we couldn’t wait to get walk our little legs up Brunswick and Chapel Street for some much needed shopping and “Fox and Beau” research.

First stop was Tusk Cafe, for some much needed shopping fuel. This place was amazing! With it’s outdoor seats covered in blankets and overshadowed in heaters, you really pick up on the Chapel Street Vibe.

Awesome vintage bike outside Tessuti Fabrics, Flinders Lane.
Stopping off for a coffee on Degraves St

Shopping along Brunswick St, Fitzroy is a treat! Must go places are Jasper Coffee, Meet me at Mikes and Zetta Florence paper.




Katies husband James was our amazing photographer!



We meandered through Chapel Street Bazaar and had to hold back on the temptation to buy a vintage corningware dish or these two old suitcases for $15!
After dinner we caught a swell jazz gig at Bennetts Lane Jazz Club (Australia's Ronnie Scott's I'll say!)
Lily Black's bar has amazing cocktails and a rather strange bike ornament on their front entrance.
You really value this city for what it is. Melbourne is a place you can get lost in. Every alleyway you walk down, there is something happening, something to look and always somewhere to eat! There are so many artists that really inspired us and we really took away some valuable ideas and trends that we can't wait to share with all of you! Stay tuned for our next "working" holiday. Hmmm... Where shall it be?
