Creative EXpression.
Now that you are revived from the spa and hair salon, you’re ready to hit the infamous shopping district of Chapel Street By the time you hit the corner of Toorak and Chapel, the funky stores will literally be calling your name! Enjoy browsing the truly creative and unique wares within these boutiques. And consider experimenting with clothing styles that you’re not entirely sure about; you could be pleasantly surprised and glad you made effort.
Treat yourself to a mid-day snack and café latte along the way. The narrow shops are crammed with interesting, healthy offerings. And if you venture far enough into many of these cafés, you’ll often be rewarded with a quaint outdoor terrace at the back.
EXorcism complete.
After a weekend alone, meandering and exploring, your malaise will be exorcised. You’ll feel more like yourself again. And that’s worth it.
