After not having watched a movie for ages, the girls and I watched An Education, and what a great flick it was! Set in 1961, the very pretty Carey Mulligan plays a smart 16-year-old schoolgirl who is mildly disappointed with her lot in life. In a twist of fate, she falls in love with the [...]

Rain on Me
Umbrellas would probably top the list for the most-left-behind-objects, but you would probably stop doing that if you forked out $115 for this cute-as-hell Lulu Guinness umbrella. A birdcage brolly! With two birdies! How adorable! Lulu Guinness designs quirky little bags and accessories, and her line of umbrellas is just as lust-worthy. Check out the [...]
Fashion, Evil & Power
Fashion has always been blamed for being a catalyst for all sorts of evil. The most common being materialism, greed, and of course, false ideals of body images.

It’s impressive what young people have made out of themselves, and The Scarlet Room is an amazing example of a passion for fashion and an entrepreneurial mind. Congratulations, Annie! [...]

Isn’t this such a rad photo? I love the purple lights! Wish I took a better photo of my heels though – they’re wicked awesome!
One Year Ago Today
I was pouring through my personal travel journal this evening and I realised that this time last year, I just left Berlin, and arrived in Amsterdam. It was an excruciatingly long bus journey, from Amsterdam to Berlin, and having to leave amazing people I’ve met behind wasn’t a blast either. I remember lugging my heavy-as-hell [...]
Magazines Shouldn’t Be Allowed to Screw Us Over
