Dream/State


There’s a little Italian restaurant on top of The Strand Arcade in the city, tucked away in the top floor corner called Pendolino, which I love. Highly recommended if you’re in Sydney, by the way. The pasta they serve is freshly made on site and where I had the agnolotti of my dreams…

It’s also probably worth going because it’s one of the prettiest buildings here, and at night, especially during this time of the year when most of retail Sydney has its Christmas coat on, you almost get the whole place to yourself :)

Speaking of which, have you done your Christmas shopping yet? 2013 seems to be travelling at warp speed..

Wearing an old biker last seen here and some crazy new shoes I feel conflicted about but mostly love. It’s weird trying to resist the pull, but hybrid platforms done well are so rare for me. What do you reckon?

    What a great restaurant! I love the way it’s nestled in the corner. Gorgeous Christmas Tree. Stephanie, I am ooh’ing and ahh’ing over your green leather jacket! It’s so pretty! Looks awesome on you girl. I’m finished shopping for everyone else. Now just picking up things for the home and such.

    That top is lovely! And what a beautiful arcade! They just put the Christmas trees up at work today too, it’s just reminding me I’m still behind with Christmas shopping! In laws are so tricky to buy for!

    I think your hybrid platforms are the ideal match to your rocker’s outfit. The leather pants suit you awesomely and that jacket is very cute. In one word… Terrific!!
