Wandering Neighbourhoods: Paddington

by on May 17, 2010

Over the past few weeks I have been spending some happy soul time with my family and friends in Sydney. Kel and I have been doing some sister bonding whilst walking the streets of Sydney with cameras in hand.

Paddington is home to Sydney’s fashion strip with plenty of gorgeous designer stores and beautiful streets lined with Victorian terraces. The little sis and I wandered up and down Oxford St peering into cashmere boutiques and at walls lined with shoes. Of course, I dragged her kicking and screaming into Max Brenner (Chocolate by the Bald Man) for a little hot chocolate and a croissant.

I have plenty more Sydney photos to share soon. How has your week been?

p.s. I will be announcing the winner of my birthday giveaway tomorrow, so stay tuned!

Photographs shot on a Yashica FX3 with Natura Classica film (never tried before- film from Japan!)

    Hello lovely. So sad that I didn’t get to head out yesterday and hang out with you guys. I was in a bit of a cranky mood all day, like a spoilt child not being able to go out.

    I love seeing bits of Sydney that I know, through your eyes/lens. Oh, I love Max Brenner. x
