Maybe I'm biased as a NoHo regular, but schlepping down to Sandy Bay just for some GREY and FELT good times makes me a sad panda. Having said that, G&F is one of those beautifully curated shops that you want to photograph, and one where you kind of fear looking at the price tags. Having said that, I finally headed into G&F after finding out that they're Hobart's only stockist of Shanghai Suzy lipsticks, which are amazingly cheap for what they are, at only $12.95 a pop for a crazily pigmented nourishing lippie in exceptional on-trend colours. As it turns out, I also happened to first visit the week of G&F's first anniversary. No anniversary sale, so I managed to purchase my lipsticks and escape back out of there... mentally adding a few things to my wishlist as I went.

On my last venture in, I was saved by a wonderful girl--I think her name was Emily. I was close to throwing my hands up and walking out after being ignored for a couple of minutes while standing around looking very needy, but Emily stepped in and addressed my sandal-neediness. I spent way more on sandals than I intended to but I also found the perfect pair, so... great job. Phew.
