Paddington, Five Ways at midday, the boutique-round

Paddington Five Ways intersection Glenmore-Road midday, sandstone-terrace facade, the corner-boutique window-line in soft autumn-light

From Single-O to Paddington Five Ways on foot, twenty-minute walk through the back-streets.

Glenmore-Road plus Heeley-Street plus Goodhope-Street form the boutique-corridor. Camilla-and-Marc plus Sass-and-Bide plus the Bassike-flagship plus a quiet new menswear-room I had not seen before.

Five Ways at midday is the Paddington-Anglo-fashion-traditional plus the Eastern-Suburbs-gallery-cohort crossing each other at the coffee-bench. One woman in a soft-grey Bassike shirt-dress at the corner-table reading the Saturday Paper.

The afternoon will go to Bondi-Pavilion plus the late-light. The evening to Soudan-Lane and the second pass at the Wednesday-vernissage corridor.
