Iceland is a country that has risen very high on my list of countries I would like to see one day…thanks to one of my best friends, Shannon of “A Blonde and a Brew,” having visited this astonishing country. Her tales of magical lagoons, gorgeous national parks and sampling puffin have undoubtedly piqued my curiosity…
“What was your favorite experience in Japan?” I’ve been getting this question quite frequently recently. Which really isn’t very easy to answer. There are a million things I loved about Japan…so, I figured it would be a bit easier to break it down into tours and places I visited. I also can’t even begin to…
This past week has been interesting…to say the least. And more than enough random things have been getting mixed up or broken. You know the washing machine incident from my last post…and now my trusty cream-colored, leather purse, I’ve had for ages, finally broke (to name a couple of this week’s random mishaps). One of…
I had a sneaking suspicion that this pleated skirt was going to be versatile when I bought it years ago…but I didn’t expect to get quite this much use out of it! I knew that it’s been on the blog a lot, but I didn’t realize I was already up to 7 times!…
Meet Lee from the lovely blog “Lee Thrifts!” She’s September’s Featured Fashionista and one of my favorite bloggers to follow! Every time I visit Lee’s blog I feel as though I’m stopping by an old friend’s home to have a coffee and catch up. Her posts are incredibly interesting, yet relatable, well-written…with great photography and…
This outfit could be worn in spring or fall! I’m still in denial that it’s spring in Australia, as I am still trying to dress for fall weather… Right now, I have boots, trench coats and scarves on my mind. However, it’s spring here! So, I am really struggling at the moment, haha. It feels…
In the midst of all the moving from Tokyo to Sydney craziness, I also was in Chicago for a weekend! Chicago is one of those places that I have never actually visited just for the sake of visiting (except for a family trip a million years ago when I was in my early teens). There…
…You make lemonade! I know that it’s a rather overused saying, but it is one I do love…as I really strive to be optimistic, even when things are looking a bit sour. Not that there are any particularly bad lemons in my life right now – things are going very well in Sydney! But it…
I know I’ve said this a million times, but Japan is an absolutely amazing country. If you ever have the opportunity to visit, DO NOT hesitate. Living in Tokyo has been one of the best experiences of my life, and I would move back in a heartbeat and stay there forever. It is my absolute…
Yippee! I made it! I’m finally in Sydney, Australia – the Land Down Under! It’s beautiful! As I’m sure you can tell from the photos. It seems surreal to be seeing the Sydney Opera House all the time, now. And I’m really enjoying the mild weather and the flat whites that every single coffee house…
My last weekend in Tokyo didn’t end with a bang…it was more of a quiet goodbye. I wanted to remember how at peace I felt here, and not cram a bunch of activities into my last few days. But I did make an effort to finally head over to Shinjuku Gyoen National Gardens (Gorgeous!)…and then…
As you’re reading this post, I will be flying somewhere over the Pacific Ocean on my way to our new home Sydney, Australia! That is crazy to think. Especially since we’ve been trying to move to Australia for the past 4 years…it really doesn’t feel like it’s happening now. So, this will be my last…
I don’t usually mind standing out in a crowd when it comes to my style choices. Actually, I don’t usually care one bit. But there are a few times that I’ve found myself wanting to blend in. One of these times was when we first arrived in Tokyo. Not knowing the language or customs all…
A casual outfit for a rainy day featuring these high-waisted shorts + my Team Bucky Marvel T-Shirt. Most days you’ll find me wearing dresses and midi skirts…but I also never turn down the chance to wear a casual, comfy T-shirt. Especially a T-shirt that lets me show off my inner geek, haha. I had bought…
