October 25, 2015

As one of the most stylish female blogger in Perth, we believe Jiawa Liu (aka BeigeRenegade) also eats and parties stylishly like her personal daily outfits. 

So the Bloggers Boyfriend Team asked her help to show us around in Perth for a few of her top spots to eat brunches on the weekends or which secret laneways she hangs out with her squads. 

And one of her recenly discoveries includes this little cafe called Flora Fauna.

SYDNEY INSIDER : SIMPLYMONOCHROME.CO’S FAVOURITE BRUNCH CAFES

October 1, 2015

We asked help from Sydney based creative male blogger / Instagrammer Tim Lo ( @SIMPLYMONOCHROME.CO ) ( currently in London ) for his very recommendations what’s on his Sydney top cafe list, we not only stole all his crazily popular photos he put on Instagram but also got some good tips picking the best cafes for your very different tastes.

Creperie Suzette

1.Creperie Suzette 

Location: The Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA) is less than five minutes walk, easiest way to get here is by ferry or train at Circular Quay station. 

34 Harrington St, The Rocks NSW 2000 (02) 8220 9999

This cafe is right next to the Harbour Rocks hotel, there is even a “insiders” secret door connected to the Harbour Rocks hotel’s  lobby, if you are staying at the hotel, feel free to come down for a coffee with your dressing gown. The Harbour Rocks hotel is where all the Modern Family crew stayed back years ago.

Anita Gelato

2. Anita Gelato

Location: next to Central Park, not far from China Town, Central Station or Broadway Shopping Centre. Weekends surely it is crowded, try come in early since they open at 7 am when nobody is there!

3. Edition Coffee Roasterseditioncoffeeroasters.com )

    265 Liverpool St, Darlinghurst NSW 2010.

    That is the Japanese minimal space Jiawa Liu has been craving for for a long time. She even failed to find one in Japan. Tim and I found this quiet little corner in a sunny afternoon, how lucky.  Unluckily, their famous Black rice, lemon curd and raw chocolate pudding was sold out. 🙁  but their other Japanese style breakfasts are just as nice.

ORTO TRADING CO

4. Orto Trading Co. ( ortotradingco.com )

     38 Waterloo Street, Surry Hills

      Tim decided to pay this café a visit after seeing its appearance on Margaret Zhang’s Instagram and it certainly did not disappoint. The food tasted just as good as they looked and the outdoor tables make it a prime spot for some good flatlay actions for the food bloggers.

5. Brewtown Newtown ( Brewtownnewtown.com )

      6-8 O’Connell Street, Newtown

     This is one of the places I would visit over and over again because of a few reasons. It has an amazing menu and some of tastiest and most satisfying pastries out there! Don’t       forget to show up earlier on the weekends as it tends to get quite busy.

autolyse SYDNEY

6. Autolyse Sydney ( Autolyse.com.au )

      RB10/28 Broadway Street, Chippendale NSW 2008 (02) 8074 9458

      One of the most popular Canberra bakeries Autolyse opened earlier this year in Sydney city but has since been forced to shut down. Lets hope they will come back soon with their yummy macarons!

7. York Trading & Co. ( Yorktradingco.com.au )

     28 York Street, Sydney

    No time for coffee? Why not just hop in and take a snap of the interior!

pottery Green bakers Gordan

8. Pottery Green Bakers

For people love baguettes , you are coming to the right place ! They have a large selection of flavours! but this place isn’t that close to town, so if you happen to be in Gordan, make sure you come by.

4 St Johns Ave, Gordon NSW 2072.   Phone:(02) 9499 8799

With a Vietnamese based menu, Pottery Green Bakers delivers a great range of comfort foods from their signature beef pho to your typical eggs benedict with salmon.

 French Touch Creperie
There’s a reason Surry Hills is one of the most popular suburbs in Sydney for catching up and food out, there are too many places worth getting excited about.
     559 Crown St, Surry Hills NSW 2010
     Looking for something different? Why not go ahead and experience ‘a little touch of France’ in Surry Hills? The savory crêpes “galettes” are definitely a must-try!Waterloo DEVON ON DONKS
10. Devon on Dank  ( http://www.devoncafe.com.au )
      2 Danks St, Waterloo NSW 2017

      The successive café that opened after the original Devon café located in Surry Hills. Besides the amazing cronuts, coffees and brunches I had there, the cool vibes and friendly staffs are also why I enjoy going to this place!

What Does Sydney Boy Wear in Spring – Benji Condie

September 16, 2015

Australia: noun. 1.   A country you wear absolutely different seasons in different cities;

    2.   A country you wear almost different seasons between hours in all the cities.

Caught up with Benji  at Potts Point earlier today, who’s presenting a very relaxed yet fresh Sydney boy street style in thin texture white t-shirt, black skinny jeans with a dropped crotch and white leather sneakers.  The beautiful sun during the day still could not fool this Sydney boy who has been ready (with a black shearling collared vintage biker jacket)  for its spring evening chill and his busy evening schedules.
