Melbourne Street Art

Some of the most talented Graffiti Artists reside in Melbourne, Australia and I love walking the streets for inspiration.

These pieces are scattered around the streets of Fitzroy and Sydney Rd, Coburg.

In my opinion Graffiti Artists are amongst the most talented artists, unfortunately they don't get enough credit so here I am doing my bit:)


'Street Art' isn't always Graffiti. This is drawn on paper and then stuck to the wall and rudely half torn off!


This dude is so cool. So much imagination has gone into this


This piece is dedicated to Hip Hop


Pity I didn't get to read the text on the side. It appears to have some Arabic influence


The full view


This is on the side of a shop and is part of the signage which more and more shops are now doing




Not sure what this one means but there seems to be some celebrities faces in there


and some scary faces too


This is one we stumbled upon as we parked our car on Sydney Rd, Coburg


Love the intricacy


It jumps right off the wall


Strolling



My gorgeous husband who takes me exploring around Melbourne on the weekends. Love him!

Classic Black & White


How many of you out there just love to keep things simple like myself? Uncomplicated, uncluttered, clean.

Less is more I say and the best way to keep it simple and not sacrifice on style, is to splash out on some black and white accessories for your home and your wardrobe.

I absolutely love the boldness that these two shades create and let's face it, you can't go wrong with this combination.

Other shades may come and go but these two are here to stay.



I'm in love with this shabby chic french style chalkboard (By Mateacovintretro)


This cushion is stunning. I love the zig zig pattern. (By glamdesign)


You can't go wrong with black and white stripes (By CrazyBoy)


This chic hat would make any outfit fabulous (By EllaGajewska)


Keeping the time has never looked so good (by CyberMoon)


I love how the contrast of this vintage image creates such a modern, urban look


I may not be able to own a horse but I can surround myself with images of them


I'm a big fan of words, especially positive words. I love these organic lavender bags (By lapomme)


These striking drapes would add a touch of luxury to any house (By nenavon)


As well as Typography, I love letters and this funky coffee mug (By wandersketch)
