THIS POST HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH CHINA TOWN

…but it does have pictures.

I sat down this morning with every intention of writing a blog post. I had some photos from exploring China Town, it’s a Friday, I have big weekend plans, and my cup of tea is sitting here waiting to be enjoyed. And yet, all I could think about was how fed up I’ve been this week. Continue Reading

AM I A WIZARD YET?

I love Harry Potter.

There aren’t many things that I believe in, in which I am not willing accept other opinions about. With the exception of Harry Potter. I was one of those kids that would spend hours laying awake wondering if maybe, just maybe, all of this magic stuff was true. And maybe,

just maybe,

my letter from Hogwarts would arrive at my door. Or through my window via owl.

Well, my letter never arrived. Continue Reading

BALI

After the bitter cold Scottish coast and the icy city of London, I figured it might be time for a warm, tropical escape. I was also overdue to see the love of my life. Five months overdue. Coming from two different countries around the globe {as per usual}, Eric and I needed yet another location to meet up. Since the middle point between London and Melbourne is now Syria, we realized very quickly one of us would need to sacrifice.

Once we chose Indonesia as our lovers getaway, the ‘sacrifice’ suddenly seemed like a privilege. Continue Reading

YE’LL TAKE THE HIGH ROAD AND I’LL TAKE THE LOW ROAD

“…and I’ll be in Scotland afore ye!”

Happy first of April to all the fools out there! 

I can add another country to my list in 2016! Always a great feeling. Scotland is such a beautiful country that I had to take a look for myself this past Easter weekend. This being the first of three installments about Scotland, I might as well jump right in and start at the beginning. Continue Reading

BYE BYE WINTER, BUT FIRST

Let me wear my camels and dark browns one last time. 

final picture

Happy first day of March! As February comes to an end and Spring is quickly approaching, or so I hope, it means bye-bye to all things Winter. I mean, it’s March now. Not that I am anxiously awaiting a warm spell to come over the entirety of England or anything, but at least someone should start thinking about it.  Continue Reading

JULIA ROBERTS FOR A DAY

We’ve all dreamed of being Julia Roberts in Notting Hill {we’ve all seen Notting Hill correct?}, and the other day I was able to live out this fantasy. 

I made my way down to Notting Hill from the Notting Hill Gate Underground Station. The walk to the Portobello Road Market is very accessible and easy to follow. Before I even stepped foot in the market, I was already snap happy. I don’t think I put my camera away once.  Continue Reading

CAMDEN MARKET & REGENT’S PARK

We were blessed with another sunny day today here in London. Although Winter seems pretty content with kicking her feet up and staying a while, I can tell Spring is quietly approaching. The streets were packed on my way to the Camden Market. The high street was a spectacle in itself. A combination of mainstream shops, vintage/flea market shops, souvenir only shops, and {weirdly enough} tattoo parlors lined each side of the road. Incredible, gigantic 3D artwork was displayed on almost every other building.  Continue Reading
