A Place For Eveleighone

I just noticed how well dispersed people are in this shot. Obedient subjects, thank you. Ombré crowd trend.

Something I've known for a long time but haven't experienced much since I finished the HSC last year is the idea that you can't truly appreciate the good until you've experienced the bad. It's a paradoxical idea in terms of whether it's a pleasant phenomenon or not but regardless, we can pretty much all agree it's a thing, right? Well, in the past seven weeks of being dropped like a rag doll into a dollhouse of university I feel like that is essentially a floating title of my life. 

Take the past week for example. My incredibly slow working capabilities coupled with two  assignments due on the same day (Friday) means late nights and long days Monday through Thursday. So you can imagine the bliss of Friday + Easter break which segues me nicely into talking about where I went this morning!*

The produce at Eveleigh Market is so fantastically fresh. I'm pretty sure the vast majority of it is certified organic and the prices are great (e.g. six corn cobs for $5, pretty spiffin'). ALSO, the people are wonderful. All the market vendors are so incredibly polite and personable. The very first guy we bought from looked me right in the eyes and asked, 'How are you?' in the most genuine way I've been asked probably all week. That set the rhythm for pretty much all the other stallholders, everyone had such personality and a clear passion for their products (all locally sourced and/or homemade!).

A corner full of flowers, I forgot to catch the company stall name. I got too excited seeing the sunflowers. While I don't really traverse the world of floristry that much, I don't think I've come across sunflowers very often at all. BUT THEN I DID TODAY. And boy, was I excited (see: last photo of the post. That happiness.)

I'm feel 82% of people would be sold by the name alone: The Crêpe & Coffee co.


Or they would be sold by the available combinations (I got Schmock. It's yum, but I would probably go for a sweet one next time! And there will definitely be a next time, trust me.)

Schmock crêpe ft. rabbit nibbles so it wouldn't fall out of the cone thing.

Sunglasses - Cotton On

Maxi Cardigan (the best Aussie weather cardigan ever) - Monki from ASOS (Sold out but here it is in grey!)

Dress - Zara (secondhand)

Sunflowers - A happy corner of Eveleigh Market

Chelsea Boots - Wanted 

I was initially just wearing the red dress because it's super thick and three-quarter sleeved but right before we left I grabbed my new Monki cardigan just in case. Lo and behold I ended up really needing it because my body is terrible at circulating itself. This cardigan is the best, by the way. I have worn it every day since I got it on Tuesday. A happy piece of clothing is a piece that you will always wear, for both aesthetic and practical purposes. This is one of those pieces, 100% especially with my refusal to don a pair of pants now (/ever) that the weather is getting cooler.

What a delightful weekend it's been already. Wishing the same for everyone else!
