From the best brunch spot I managed to stumble upon, to accessories that are to die for for my new bedroom, this month has been pretty jam packed with little trinkets here and there of sparkly lip gloss bottles and delicate bow-shaped rings, delicious food and a whole lot of shopping to design my perfect little bedroom, a cozy, warm and twinkling space filled with candles and the most enchanting, yet dainty fairy lights, where I can feel at home. And so, it's these simple things that make up my October Favourites.
Brunch @ Hash Specialty Coffee & Roaster: As we were in search for food on a windy afternoon in the city, Sabrina and I, along with another friend, found ourselves in an alley that was PACKED. Long lines of people queuing up to experience some of the greatest brunch spots known in Melbourne filled up the spaces, and in the hunger, we decided to act fast. In annoyance and an extreme case of being tired, we decided to look around until we found the cafe with the least amount of people outside, but what seemed quite packed on the inside, and a few minutes later we were seated, only to have some of the most scrumptious and fabulous brunch that we'd ever had. To cut this short - it was pretty fantastic.
In search for the cutest bedroom pieces: Moving to a new house is pretty hard, and I don't think I ever realised that up until now at 16, because before when I was younger, my mum would pretty much do it all - the packing, the arranging and the moving. But I was determined that no matter what, no matter how messy the house would be for the first few months and no matter how many boxes were still left in the corner neglected, I would start working on my room to make it perfect. With all my furniture already bought and built, I was constantly out, looking for little knick-knack's and trinkets, bed covers and cushions with little embroideries and graphics filling up their spaces, flowers and plants to fill the vase's on my desk, the most gorgeous lamp pendant, and the sweetest scents to give my room that extra, magical touch that would keep me warm when the weather was downright crappy, and so far, I'm loving it.
The other little things here and there: I've always been a lover of sweet smelling beauty products, and I finally got my hands on Estée Lauder's Modern Muse, which is what's got to be my favourite perfume at the moment (and possibly forever).
Reading has always been a hobby of mine, so of course I have chosen one of my top favourite reading materials for this month. As well as the novels and comics, magazines are always, and are obviously a great read. Harper Bazaar's October issue totally did it for me this month. Something about the featured celeb's, the dusty pink tones that flowed through the pages from front to back and the style tips and tricks really kept me flipping through the whole magazine without getting bored, not once ESPECIALLY because Spring Fashion has always been a fave of mine.
Also above, how amazing was Dior at Paris Fashion Week showing off their newest SS17 pieces?? That skirt?? That t-shirt???!! I mean like, Amazing!!!????

Well, it's already October and some of you might be getting ready for Halloween or even Christmas, or even exams, but here I am just going about my day thinking of the little things that have been a staple for this month. It's been a fun, yet a hard working month for me. With school and the exams that are coming up extremely soon my October Favourites put me at ease from the stress of assignments, tests and studying as I delve into my camera roll and memories and have a moment to think to myself about what has stood out to me this month... so here we go!
Hash Specialty Coffee & Roaster: As Mayy happened to mention up above, we found this amazing café in a lane way, in the city. While we love going out and in search for cute and quirky places to eat at, Hash Specialty Coffee and Roaster caught our eyes among the other cafés on that particular day. Even though we had to wait a bit for a seat, it was totally worth it because the food was AMAZING and I for sure, would definitely go back again. It's a discovery that I can't quite say I regret and I would love to go back there and try some more of the scrumptious food that they have to offer. So if you are stuck on where to eat here in Melbourne, go to Hash Specialty Coffee and Roaster, you won't regret it!
ToThe9s White Tee: Recently I purchased and received merchandise (a tee) by ToThe9s; youtubers that I happen to watch and take inspiration from, and I am very fond of their style. When I watched their video on their newly released merchandise line, I was ready to spend my money and support these amazing content creators, AND especially since their designs just looked so cute (you can see me rocking it on the last photo on this post or on my instgram). It's so simple, so minimal, so me, which is what I love when it comes to dressing up, it's just my style. Such a great purchase and amazing that it's supporting content creators who I dearly love and are SUCH an inspiration to me. To get a closer look, visit this link >>> tothe9s white tee.
Other things that I've been loving: Recently Solange (aka Beyonce's sister) has come out with an album called "A Seat At The Table" which I have been listening to on a daily basis. It's such a stunning and very vibey album which is so calming and sweet to listen to and her voice is just amazing and I just can't get enough of it!!!! / I also rediscovered a perfume that I bought at the start of the year, 1969 by Gap. It has a few strong tones, but its the perfect summery fragrance, and I've been adoring it so much these past couple of weeks.

Well, that's a wrap! Those were our October Favourites, and we really hope that you enjoyed the read just as much as we enjoyed making this post for you, our lil' band of misfits. The continuous support from you guys has been amazing and we just want to put it out there and say that we are so grateful to have such a beautiful, diverse and magical audience and group of friends. We love doing what we do and we hope to progress in the future and build this blog up to become something more than just another site in the cluster of websites in the void we that call the internet. We want to make it something extra special, maybe turn it into a magazine one day or maybe a place where we can feature stories and creations made by you. To put it simply, we hope to make this blog mean something special to you and we strive to better it solely for YOU. So stick with us a little longer and don't lose hope, and hopefully you'll be around to watch something great grow. So from the two girls who have the dream of doing what they love to do, we just want to thank you again for you doing you and responding to what we put out there with such love and honesty.
So, with great amounts of hugs and endless appreciation, love, Mayy and Sabrina x
