It’s mental how busy life have been once the first week of December sneaked by. I have been taking photos, but just have not had the time to post anything eventhough a million different things happened in the interim. I’m currently waiting around for my flight to go to New York. Feeling a little confused… Continue reading This side of Christmas

Bust Craftacular and the week that was
One of the best things I love about London is the likelihood of bumping into events that would never venture out into Australia. A good example is Bust’s Craftacular, a DIY craft market sponsored by my favourite magazine that finally expanded across the Atlantic and held its first London Craftacular this year. Held in a… Continue reading Bust Craftacular and the week that was
Christmas in the air and peekaboo
It’s finally December and I’m heartily counting down every day for my very short holiday. In the meantime, I have a FO for once!

It’s… Continue reading Christmas in the air and peekaboo
Cooking through home sickness

My grandmother used to have a gigantic print of a European forrest in autumn and when I… Continue reading Autumn postcard
Laura Marling
I discovered Laura Marling a while ago and managed to infect my housemate with her music as well. Consequently, while I was sick in bed she managed to hunt up some tickets for a sold out concert that was the perfect reason to recover as quick as possible, because there was not way in hell… Continue reading Laura Marling

Westfield London
Visited the new and very shiny Westfield at Shepherd’s Bush during the weekend with one of my housemates for a dose of retail theraphy and general nosying around. Considering the number of High streets London has, it’s a little nuts to see an entire city going crazy at the idea of an indoor mall. On… Continue reading Westfield London
