I had my two beautiful girls in tow:
N, stunning and rocking a fedora as always.
And Vic, N's gorgeous and always smiley sister:
Starting at Jackie's Cafe in Paddington (no website, sorry!) we lunched on sushi and a delicious-sounding-but-not-quite-up-to-par ricotta and tomato brushchetta. The sushi was nice, but unfortunately all options had mayonnaise which I am NOT a fan of (I say that, yet I did eat till I was quite full!) Oh! Did I mention the edamame beans? My fav dish for sure!
Overall a lovely spot in a little nook tucked away from the winding streets, with friendly and quick service, and small Parisian looking cafe tables and chairs.
For the fashion-minded out there, I wore a steal of a playsuit from a market stall at a spring fair I went to yesterday. I was worried the jubilant canary yellow and crochet detailing were a liiiiiitle premature since Spring has only really just started but thankfully the day was one of a spotless blue sky days in which I think I got quite a tan and my sunglasses got their first workout since January!
But like I said, this was Sunday driving (as well as lunching) so we took to the road again and found ourselves at N and Vic's favourite patisserie in Double Bay - which I'm sorry but I've forgotten the name of!
We had a smattering of miniature pastries, my favourite being the mini blueberry tart with buttery pastry case. My friend's loved the cream in the middle delight, though!
As the sun bore down, we felt the calling of the seaside, and so found ourselves in Watson's Bay, at the beautifully decorated Watson's Bay Hotel.
Fresh pineapple and mint mocktails were sipped as we looked across the bouncing nautical umbrellas and towards the glistening sea. It was really a delightful place to sit and people watch - the place was absolutely jam packed with people in beach towels to the elegant ladies in heels. I think we sat somewhere in the middle in our casual day-wear - really, the Watson's Bay Hotel is a place for everyone and anyone, with alfresco dining and a terrace bar, picnic style tables and more sophisticated daybeds, or, where we sat, high bar stools.
We finished the day by the sea - I much-needed catch up and break from the rigours of student life!
