Yesterday I rolled out of bed near midday and dragged my body out to Paddington, where I caught up with a friend. I have to admit I've never actually been (for shame) but it is such a great place to shop!
| Bottle Stoppers, Paddington Markets |
We were aiming to visit the markets but got sidetracked by sandwiches and William St., a street of terraces the fronts of which have been converted into little boutiques. It was quite fun to duck into all the little stores and do some exploring; the vibe there is so relaxed and intimate.
I recall a hippy looking dude coming out the back of one of the stores to greet us- halfway through making a shoe- and in another store, a demure girl with pink/blond/brown hair idly shopping online at the counter.
The markets were fairly average, but that may have been because by the time we got there at 4, all the stalls were beginning to pack up.

Wandered the streets a little more, visited The Art of Dr. Seuss Gallery. Thought to myself that when I am an adult and my financial department is in less of a dismal state, I will buy a print for my house!
| Large painting, too expensive | Framed prints, also too expensive | Moose (?) head, very expensive |
Actually, the only thing I bought that day was a pair of $10 strappy wedges (closing down sale, bitches). Saw these awesome lunchbags but being a mature uni student and all, I had to settle for a picture:
| Cutest bags I have seen in my life |
And we bought a cookie.

Can't really beat that.
