kinky gerlinki

Kinky Gerlinki is now one of my favourite clothing shops, thanks to Lyn.

Last Saturday we went to Sydney Road in Brunswick for a bit of shopping.  The shop name sounded dodgy to me at first, and I don't usually go into little boutique shopss, but am I glad I did!

According to their website, they've been trading in Melbourne for 10 years now.  Inititially they started as an exporter, exporting their clothing from Asia and Europe.  They now make their own clothing, sometimes only 15 items per style.  How's that for ensuring you don't go to the same party in the same outfit as that other girl?

Their catalogue can be found here.  There were quite a few lovely outfits I wanted to buy, but alas they had run out of Small sizes for most.  I picked up 2 gorgeous skirts, the same design but in different colours.

I also tried almond dates for the first time from a lovely Lebanese grocery shop.  It was dates all blended and shaped into the natural size of a date, then coated with almonds.  Whether or not it was the natural sweetness of a date, the high sugar content killed my taste buds for a couple of hours.

What started off as a cold rainy morning later turned into a bright and warm afternoon so we took advantage of that by eating our burgers outdoors at Burger Edge.  My choice was Hungry Jacks (because I love to clog my arteries) but I've never tried Burger Edge so decided to give them a go.  I love how they use aioli to butter their buns, but I prefer the dripping bacon fat at Hungry Jacks more :o)
