To hipster or not to hipster....

After a conversation at a party this weekend, we’ve come to the conclusion…
No one knows what a hipster is exactly.  It’s gotten a negative connection these days. A standard line used (Thank you Lauren) is “I’m not a hipster, I sell shit to hipsters”

Urban dictionary defines as such: “Hipsters are a subculture of men and women typically in their 20's and 30's that value independent thinking, counter-culture, progressive politics, an appreciation of art and indie-rock, creativity, intelligence, and witty banter.”


So what is a hipster?  There’s such confusion with what a hipster really is… Is it someone who has style or doesn’t have style?  

“Once certain concepts of fashion and music have reached mainstream audiences, hipsters move on to something new and improved.”

I think I’ve come to the conclusion… a hipster is anyone that does what they like and enjoy.  It’s got nothing to do with being mainstream of different.  It’s about being happy about yourself.

So by all means, go be a hipster!!!

The Beach Bistro @ Eden on the Bay


Seeing as I'm turning into a foodie...
I thought I'd blog this lovely new find.
 The Beach Bistro at Eden on the Bay, opened today...
My dearest friend Andrea and I walked past by chance....

 
And the awesome decor and look lured us in.
 How great is it?
They play really awesome lounge music
and the vibe is just great. 
Not to mention the adorable bartenders :P
 

 We were looking for breakfast, but just missed it
Breakfast is until 11:00 and there after the kitchen is closed until 12:00
until the lunch menu starts.


They have awesome coffee (which is important for me) 
and Andrea was very impressed with the  way they serve water,
in a flute glass with ice and lemon.  Fancy!

We decided to try out their sandwiches:
 I had the Meat Eater: Steak, Haloumi Cheese, Rocket and Onion with sweet chilli Sauce.
and Andrea had the Chicken sandwich: Chicken, Mozerella, Cherry tamatoes and rocket.

They're prices aren't bad, mid range, but the food is so worth it!
I think I've found my new Sunday brunch spot!!
