Melbourne really stole my heart this year, I enjoyed it so much!! We were sleeping in a little campervan in the middle of the city and even though we visited MB only for a few days, it really felt like home. I asked a very nice girl, who was working in a stunning shop named Wilkins & Kent, if she could give us some ' secret' local tips. And she did, with all her passion and enthusiasm. So for everybody who planned a trip to Melbourne here you go... a printable handy list.
* eat: Cavallero is a small neighbourhood bar/restaurant in the interesting location of the bottom end of Smith Street, Collingwood. Good & honest food, seasonal dishes from local and national products and they have nice beers too!
* shop: Wilkins & Kent, a small furniture company based in Fitzroy. They are specialized in custom madde timber furniture. And they stock a range of homewares that reflect their interest in quality and craftmanship like gorgeous textiles, accessories, glassware, ceramic tableware books and many other pieces.

* market: Camberwell Sunday Market is a popular trash and treasure market held on every Sunday. Hundreds of stalls, array of new, second hand and vintage, friendly and cheap. Sjoesjoe found so many nice goodies. You should really go if you want to score something lovely.
