adelaide proud

little adelaide

brighton beach

so even though i have been completely swept away by london, probably because its AMAZING! .. i still miss my home town of adelaide. and i have realised being away, there are actually really great places in adelaide ... and now i realise how much i miss them! so i thought i'd give you a few of my favourite adelaide haunts..

vegos
all tiime best place to go for cheap fresh lunch on rundle street. i love how informal it is and how great the food is! the classic tofu burger and banana shake are my favourites. vegos on rundle

gilles st markets
every time i got to gilles st i am impressed. such a great selection of clothes and bits and peices, and some really impressive small adelaide designers. and even though it is much smaller, the quality of gilles st is nearly on par with some of the markets in london.

etc
east terrace continental -my friend works here, and i just love the buzz of how busy it is on sat and sun mornings. the fresh orange juice is the best.

supermild

best dingy hangout on a saturday night

naked
amazing little boutique on rundle street. its a bit hit and miss, but they do stock lover occasionally. and sometimes they buy in great pieces from cheaper brands. always worth checking out.

birdcage
an adelaide favourite- on rundle st and the parade. always worth having a look in, the buyers for birdcage know their stuff.

duthy st cafe
very cute cafe, they serve great breakfast and lunch. this cafe is probably one of my favourites, but there are other great cafes on duthy street. other good adelaide cafes of notes are: brown dog cafe on goodwood road, doof doof on duthy st and jones the grocer on king william road.

brighton
i have always preferred brighton as a beach to glenelg, and most likely because its the closest beach to me.. but since i've been away i've realised i love that beach more than i knew! i didnt realise how easy it was to drive down there, get a park and lay on the sand. there are cute cafes along the road.. you don't realise how lovely our beaches are until you leave australia. like i loved the beaches in spain and france, but adelaide ones really are just as nice, they just aren't in spain or france! i think, that really is the only difference!

chocolate bean
oh god chocolate. this place is always packed but its a cute date spot or good place to catch up 1 on 1 with a friend. get the chocolate fondue with strawberries. SO GOOD.

LAX
sometimes they buy in terrible stock, but they order in some great brands so sometimes they have AMAZING stuff. i love camilla and marc and they also stock some cute cheap brands as well. they also are the only stockists of nudie jeans that i know of in adelaide.

please comment (haha if you know adelaide) if know of other good spots that i don't know of..

so in summary, i think that adelaide really isn't that bad... x
