My Favourite Places to Eat in Sydney #mollyandgizmoeats

01:32

Since food makes the heart (well, my heart) grow fonder, I've collected all of my food photos into one blog post for you all to see where my favourite places in Sydney to eat are.

If you've seen any of my food posts on Instagram (if you haven't, where have you been hiding?!), I have my own hashtag, #mollyandgizmoeats, for everyone to see just how much food I truly eat! Now, I've decided to use that hashtag and create an entire series around it; an entire series dedicated to food. There will be posts about places I've eaten at, recipes and posts solely dedicated to showing off my favourite foods in all their glory.

Sit back, enjoy this post and I hope it doesn't make you too hungry... who am I kidding, it makes me hungry just writing this!

Feel It Still

T-shirt- Cotton On, Jeans- Cotton On, Belt- unknown, Sunglasses- Colette by Colette Hayman

To make something of yourself you've got to know what it's like to get picked on, to be penniless, under pressure or treated like dirt. The bad times in life put a hunger in you. The dreamers and doers of the world are often those who've faced the most hardship yet found a way to flourish.

Industry Experience

Photos 1-2- David Jones Autumn Winter Launch, 3-4- David Jones Autumn Racing Workshops, 5-6- Westfield Miranda Visual Merchandising, 7- Orana College Social Media Interning, 8-10- David Jones Spring Summer Launch, 11-16- Bridal and Honeymoon Showcase, 17- MYER Miranda Visual Merchandising.

It would be an understatement to say that my time at Orana has opened my eyes to the fashion industry. The industry experience has allowed me to do things I'd never imagined doing, learn incredible things and meet so many influential people. It has definitely been trying at times and a bit difficult, but I'm super grateful to have had the opportunity to intern and volunteer at so many amazing events and companies.

To share a little insight at just how much interning I've done, here are the numbers:

- Done 5 internships at 4 different places over just 20 weeks

- Dressed 4 different models in 25 different looks for more fashion shows and rehearsals than I can count

- Changed outfits for mannequins more than 50 times.

- Steamed more than 90 times.

- And, most importantly, eaten takeaway food in the midst of events and internships more times than I can count!

Thank you to my wonderful college, Orana College, for providing me with so many opportunities time and time again to allow me to continuously expand my knowledge of the industry! My industry experience has definitely been a notable highlight of my year!

Much love,
