This post will mark the end of our adventure in New Zealand. And our evening at the Tamaki Maori Village in Rotorua was the perfect way to wrap up our trip. If you’re heading to Rotorua, I highly recommend spending a night at the Tamaki Maori Village to learn more about their ancient culture. (Maori…
Happy Monday! And to my friends in the US, happy Memorial Day. I’m kicking this week off with a giveaway! It’s been awhile since I hosted one. And I’m excited to be giving away $40 worth of clothing from JustFashionNow. (Giveaway is at the end of this post.) JustFashionNow is a new-to-my-blog online company. That’s…
Meet Lorna! She’s this month’s Featured Fashionista and an incredibly talented professional blogger. She runs a few amazing blogs (seriously, check them out below!), and I came to know Lorna through her personal blog, “Raindrops of Sapphire.” Raindrops of Sapphire is a wonderful mix of Lorna’s fashion and beauty tips, outfit and travel posts, as…
I know, I know, everyone is excited for summer and breaking out their best sundresses and prettiest pastels and planning what to take to the beach. However, all my complaining about missing out on fall 7 months ago has finally caught up with me. Fall has arrived here in Argentina (or at least it did…
With names such as “Champagne Pool,” “Devil’s Bath” and “Artist’s Palette”…you know the sights in Wai-O-Tapu are going to be anything but boring. Wai-O-Tapu is an active geothermal area about a half hour away from Rotorua, New Zealand. It has rightfully been dubbed “New Zealand’s most colorful volcanic area.” And it is, in my opinion,…
A couple of outfit posts ago I mentioned a shopping spree I went on the night before I left Sydney, Australia. I had been pretty “good” until that night about my shopping while I was in Sydney, despite temptation lurking around every corner. I mean, I even lived within walking distance of the Pitt Street Mall,…
“It’s a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don’t keep your feet, there’s no knowing where you might be swept off to.” ― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings And today, we are getting swept off to none other than Hobbiton in New Zealand! Whether…
I did it… I finally shot an outfit post out and about in Rosario, Argentina! And I even put together a tiny little video too, showing off the twirl-ability of this VIPme dress, at the end of the post. This weekend had been wonderfully lazy and relaxing, which was exactly what my hubby and I…
Oofta! This past month has certainly been an interesting one. Our move to Argentina has proved to be our most challenging one yet. Not that that is a bad thing. It just means there are new things to learn and adapt to. We’ve also traveled to a total of 3 continents in less than a…
The second half of our New Zealand trip (in the North Island) did not exactly go according to plan. Our first day in Rotorua had torrential rainfall and flooding, which resulted in our full day tour of all the coolest geothermal thermal activity in the area getting canceled. But, thankfully, our hotel was within walking…
Sorry! I know I’m late to the party on this post… but happy belated Star Wars Day! This is the outfit I broke out for the occasion. As you can see, I was not in Argentina, but instead at my parent’s house. It was really nice to pop home and see everyone for a bit….
This week took a rather unexpected turn, and I am actually back in the United States right now visiting family! My husband and I were approved by his company last minute to come home for our nephew’s baptism this past Sunday. So, this last week and a half was a little crazy as we prepared…
With Queenstown, New Zealand being The Adventure Capital of the World and all, jumping 15,000 feet out of an airplane seemed like a reasonable thing to do while we were there. Right? Plus, we had already gotten ourselves warmed up by going bungy jumping off the world’s first bungy jump bridge while we were in…
Meet Jodie! She’s this month’s Featured Fashionista and the creator of the unique, fashion blog “Jodie’s Touch of Style.” Jodie’s blog is truly one-of-a-kind!
