Albert Park

Melbournian here! Last week my boyfriend and I spent lovely weekend away from home in Albert Park. Albert Park is located in the outskirts of the Melbourne cbd and is a truly picturesque area. Nearby Albert Park is another scenic location known as St Kilda. St Kilda is on the beach and has a great social vibe, it’s a beautiful place to go for lunch and relax by the water in cold or warm weather. On the Saturday night we went out for dinner in St Kilda at the restaurant Veludo on the lively Acland Street.  Veludo is a modern Australian restaurant, slightly inspired by Italian cuisine. The interior of the restaurant is also super modern. We shared a tapas style entre with a trio of dips, a loaf of sour dough and a selection of antipasto goodies! For mains I had the spinach, rocket and fetta gnocchi and my boyfriend had the slow cooked Lamb shank with mashed potato and purple carrots. The food and the style of the restaurant were both very alternative giving the place a really mysterious aura.  

I sported my brand new floral printed blazer from Glasson’s and silver plate necklace from Collette Accessories with my favourite orange lipstick from Sportsgirl. Blazers are a great way to make any simple outfit look a lot dressier, as are big statement piece plated necklaces.

The next morning we were provided with an all you can eat breakfast at the hotel we were staying at. I had eggs benedict with smoke salmon (my favourite!) and my boyfriend had banana pancakes. There was also a large selection of fresh fruits and baked goods to choose from.

After we had finished breakfast we went for a stroll around the beautiful Albert Park Lake that was visible from our hotel room. The lake is very scenic and surrounded by yacht and rowing clubs. Located so close to the heart of the city, Albert Park and St Kilda are definitely must-sees for any tourists or visitors
