Emporium Precinct, Fortitude Valley

This is a fabulous area to stroll around.  It's a square bordered by eateries and high end shops and some interesting mosaic sculptures:

I had coffee at La Belle Epoche, and sampled a little honey truffle - the perfect sweet treat

The cafe/restaurant has a Parisian vibe, complete with lovely wallpaper

and gorgeous bathroom.

One of the shops that was amazing to visit was Alla Moda.  If you want high end fashion fabric this is THE place to go.  I saw some that was $440 per metre - yes, that is correct, $440.  This laser cut one was a snip at only $199
