Bianca: And the final US round-up. Mumma Squads and I had a little side trip away from Papa S and made a beeline for HOUSTON TX. It’s a smooth 3 hour, one way trip from San Antonio. Driving on the US freeways is a little like gambling your life away. Tailgating is a treasured Texas […]
Alex: These days there is never an excuse needed to treat myself to a beautiful dining experience. I mean, it’s all for research purposes… Nevertheless, a quick Melbs trip in the first week of January allowed me the opportunity to visit a stunning venue that’s been on my list for quite some time. Doot Doot Doot […]
Alex: Because I am amazing at suggestions, I decided for Bianc’s birthday we should go to the beautiful and iconic ‘Chiswick Restaurant’ in Woollahra.

Vanessa: It is commonly known that bread is a weakness among us at Team FFS so when an opportunity arose to try the new “Citizen of the World” menu at Sonoma Alexandria we did not hesitate. It was girl-date that day as Bianca and I arrived at Sonoma and were greeted by the lovely, exuberant […]

Bianca: Having undergone a recent swish renovation the UTS Haberfield Rower Club was our chosen restaurant to celebrate our Nonna’s 78th birthday late last year. With breathtaking floor to ceiling window overlooking Iron Cove bay, every corner of this restaurant offers a gorgeous view. It’s certainly a big improvement over the club that was here prior, […]
Alex: When walking through the Intercontinental Hotel in Double Bay it’s as if you’ve been transported to the Hotel Peninsula or Le Bristol Hotel in Paris. Beautiful décor, grand mirrors that are finished with a gold coating and artworks hanging in all parts of the hotel’s lobby. The whole atmosphere simply oozes luxury. Our good […]

Sitting adjacent to the beautiful establishment of Alpha restaurant, the foodstore serves up an array of Greek artisan products including honey, preserves as well as traditional pastries and sweets.

Alex: Walking into the luxurious Park Hyatt felt almost as though I was walking through a museum. Beautiful artworks and sculptures adorned the walls and walkways while the fit out of ‘The Dining Room’ mirrored the rest of the hotel in that it emanates a clean, chic and sophisticated experience. Myself, Bianca and Madre had decided to try […]
[invite] Bianca: Marrickville has very quietly been upping it’s cool factor, with cafe darlings such as Warren & Holt, West Juliett, Cornersmith, Ona, Matinee… the list is becoming quite impressive. We’ve virtually had an inbuilt Marrickville exclusion zone (by our kooky uncle) who insisted we stay out of his ‘cool neighbourhood’. This was our second visit […]
Alex: Being completely and utterly transported to the south of France is a lusting dream that many no doubt wish to turn to reality, but for those that live in Victoria, your dream could come…somewhat true much sooner than you think. While it’s not the South of France it comes close… Introducing Campbell Point House. […]
