Firefly, Neutral Bay
Firefly is one of my regular local spots, and that’s exactly why it’s taken me so long to write about it here.

Today you’ll find eight stores across Sydney – including Surry Hills, Potts Point, Marrickville, Alexandria, North Sydney and Neutral Bay. All stores make everything … Continue reading
