A Recipe for Happiness | August 09, 2011

It has recently come to my attention that the combination of pretty novelty chocolate, shiny+glittery hats and a collection of colourful felt balls = happy!

So, if you're out and about in Melbourne and you're looking for some cheering up, here's where to go:

  • Simón Coll Umbrella Chocolates from 'The Department' ( a new and interesting concept store) in Prahran
  • Glitter hat from Woolworths (pick up some munchies while you're there) in Kew
  • Felt balls from The Colour Lab ( lots of pretty colourful things ) in Prahran
  • Happy Birthday candles from Daiso ( could spend hours in this cute japanese store. everything is $2.80! ) in Westfield Doncaster.

    Those felt balls are the cutest things ever! And I don't think I could be anything but gloriously happy in a glittery hat!

    That is indeed a recipe for happiness! I've got the felt balls and plenty of chocolate, now to just find myself a fabulous glittery hat in Berlin and I'm all set!

    You always make me feel like pretty and summery color are easy to pull off. Makes me want to dress (live) more nicely (:

    Hi Kerri, "The Department" is a pretty new store and unfortunately I haven't been able to find a website for it yet. It's 250 High St, Windsor (sorry, I think I said it was in Prahran! close!) It's worth checking out- some interesting things.

    So true! Is it wrong that glittery hats always make me want to break out in song and dance?

    Wow went to that Daiso store but didn't spot the candles! Right, definitely must check those out + the cute umbrella chocs!! :)
