While a lot of the clothes may be a little too unusual to suit anyone other than a statuesque French model, they are a joy to browse through.
Beware however; the staff are sincerely excited about the clothes they stock, and melbella often finds herself getting caught up in the enthusiasm and leaving the store with items she hadn’t planned on buying.

Laurent lives up to it’s elegant surroundings and serves up an impressive array of cakes, pies & pastries that draws a crowd every weekend.
This afternoon’s beef burgundy pie left melbella a very satisfied customer.

Not letting the slightly odd name deter us, we found ourselves one recent evening at Big Mama in Swanston Street, Carlton.

Melbella is quite partial to a good bibimbap, and to date, Big Mama tops the list of favourites by a mile.

A good mix of Japanese and Korean cuisine, at the cheap end of the scale without the cheap feel.

Melbella. Beautiful Melbourne.
Seems appropriate, no?
It was not my idea, I will not take the credit, thanks go to my faithful assistant.
