New York/Empire state of mind

I am so, so excited about our forthcoming trip to NYC. By ‘our’ I mean my boyfriend’s and mine, and am unfortunately not referring to you, dear reader. Which would be a bit strange anyway. We leave this Sunday, at 1pm, and I still haven’t packed. Heck, I never pack earlier than two days before…

Beautiful Melbourne

Sometimes I forget how great our city is. In planning for my upcoming trip to New York City (or as I and my boyfriend and travel partner like to call it, “Newww Yawwwk) I have rediscovered the beauty in my hometown. Out with a friend on Chapel St today, there were some beautiful shops and…
