giraffe


Yesterday, me and my friend Penny had lunch at what is quite possibly the cutest cafe in Melbourne. We were introduced to this place by a friend of ours several months ago, and I've been wanting to blog about it ever since. Cafe Giraffe is filled with the most adorable trinkets and decorations all over the place. Seriously, ALL. OVER. The place. Wherever you look, whether it's a vintage typewriter, strings of pretty photographs, beautiful mirrors, cute little giraffe toys, there was always something to oooh & aaaah about. It's like a cozy museum of cuteness! I wish my room looked like that.
