Landed & Learning


Well, I made it! 22 hours and 7,652 miles later, I've landed on the other side of the world. And what an incredibly place it is. The weather is warm, the beaches are beautiful, and the people are amazingly friendly! 

In case you were wondering, the woman lying on the beach is, in fact, topless.
Watching the sunrise over the beach. Absolutely breathtaking. 
A few important things I've learned since arriving...

Everything is expensive.
There is nothing cuter than a small child with an Australian accent.
Money is waterproof.
UGG boots are sold in every convenience store and souvenir shop.
Everyone is a "mate".
Shoes are not required.
Parking in the city for one hour costs thirty dollars.
There are spiders the size of my face.
Coffee is one thousand times better here than in the states.

And since I like food so much, I'll throw in that everything here tastes good. Literally EVERYTHING. The Italian dressing from the grocery store quite possibly is just as good as an authentic Italian personal chef. 

More to come!

Much love,

Tuesday Trends

Sweater: F21 Shirt: NRack Jeans: Vigoss Shoes: Payless Necklace: F21
It has been SO cold these past few days. Like, I can't feel my toes in the above picture, cold. However, I can't complain because the rain has decided to spend it's time elsewhere. But, while the sun has been showing his face around here recently, he decided to leave his warmness at home. I'd say it's about time to land myself on the beautiful, sunny, warm beaches of Australia. 

In other news, I've discovered that cats have more human-like qualities than I realized. Let's take my cat for example (whom I've been studying because we live in the same house). 

For starters, she sits like a human. 

AND...

Shows strong non-verbal communication skills.
So much emotion in just one look.

Do ya feel me?

Much love,

Friday's Letters


Dear God, thanks for having a plan for my life. I can check that off my to-do list. And thank you for daily teaching me what it means to simply trust that you have a plan for me. Because it is easier said then done. Dear little sister, you're flying back to NY tomorrow. It's been fun getting to spend time with you. Thanks for your cheerful attitude and loud singing voice :) Dear Justin Timberlake, so glad you're back in the game. Finally. Dear Dear Nordstrom Rack, you are like a big, messy, wonderful, bank breaking TRAP! Every time I walk into you I find something I want to buy. So I'm taking away my Rack privileges. Dear Pandora, you rock. Seriously, you always put me in such a good mood. And you create an excellent Demi Lovato playlist. Dear brussel sprouts, you are soooooo yummy. So many people write you off, but they don't know the real, flavorful, crispy you. Dear weekend, hi.

Happy Friday!
(Linking up here.)

Much Love,
