USA Part 6 NYC Part 5

Hello my lovelies. I had my work party yesterday and a work afternoon tea today. Both were great fun :) Anyway, I have the last NYC post to share. It was the last time we were able to hang out with Kary and Miguelito. It was so hard to say goodbye. I had gotten so used to hanging out with them. Kary took us to Alice's Tea Cup for our last day in NY. 


1. Kary and me 
2. Me and Miguelito 
3. Alice in Wonderland words on the wall 
4. Afternoon tea. Tea and scones with jam. Yum.
5. My pretty tea cup
6. My last photo with Kary
7. Fairy wings for wearing
8. Such a pretty place
9. Alice in Wonderland items
10. The view from our apartment in Williamsburg

I loved Alice's Tea Cup.The tea, the shop, the layout of the place. Anything Alice in Wonderland gets me excited. I collect Alice in Wonderland books and other items (I'm even thinking about naming my future girl Alice). It was so hard saying goodbye to Kary and Miguelito. My eyes watered up and Jason kept on asking if I was alright. I just adore them and hope to see them again one day. So that's the end of my New York posts. I have about 4 more US posts to go. Next up will be Toronto, Canada. 

I hope you all have an amazing weekend!

We loved the Statue of Liberty. It was such a beautiful day and it was amazing to see it in person. We had a great time seeing this iconic landmark, eating pretzels, going to SoHo (I loved the shopping, one of my faves), and then having pizza in Willamsburg. We watched The Lion King on one of the nights and it was brilliant! 

Only one more NYC post to go. Have a wonderful week.

I couldn't have asked for a better day or better company :) 

Part 4 of NY will be up as soon as possible. I really want these US posts to be finished before Christmas. Have a great weekend.

A mini Christmas Wishlist

Hello lovely people. I can believe that it's less than a month before Christmas. I thought I was prepared but I still feel so behind. This is my small Christmas wishlist.


I'm hoping to get these Marc by Marc Jacobs Mouse flats. They are so cute! And I want to get one of these Cambridge satchels but I'm trying to decide which one to get. The pink one or a brown one. What do you think pink or brown?

What's on your list?

USA Part 6 NYC Part 1

Hello lovelies. I figured I really should get back to showing the rest of my USA pics. The NYC ones will have broken up into parts :) 

So this is NYC Part 1....



1. Who doesn't visit Tiffany's in New York? We have one in Brisbane yet it was still so exciting to see it
2. Times Square with the NYPD behind me. I loved Times Square
3. Me, Kary Miguelito (Kary's adorable son) in Times Square 
4. Eating (free!) pizza in Times Square
5. So ah this is the Naked cowboy
6. The Naked Cowboy making us touch his butt! I couldn't do it properly :p 
7. Miguelito in the Lego Shop
8. Kary and me on a bridge in Central Park
9. Jason me on a bridge in Central Park. Photo op because there were no people behind us
10. Sitting on one of the rocks in Central Park

This was one of our first days in New York and we met up with gorgeous Kary and her sweet, sweet son Miguelito. It was really so amazing to finally meet her after knowing each other through the blog world. She was a wonderful tour guide and I'm glad we met up a few more times whilst we explored this vibrant city. By the way I have this gross arm tan in a lot of my photos from getting a little sunburnt riding across the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. 

I will have part 2 up as soon as possible. Have a good week!
