USA Trip 2013 - North Carolina

Hello hello! I'm behind with my US posts again . I really need to pump these photos out. 

After NYC, Alyssa, Nicole and I flew to Nicole's hometown Raleigh, North Carolina. I really loved this place. It was so pretty and I could see myself living there :)

I will have a few more USA posts coming up. 

USA Trip 2013 - NYC

Hello lovelies. I'm finally getting around to posting my photos from my USA trip last year. My girls trip. It was a once in a lifetime trip! I travelled with my friend Alyssa from Sydney and we met up with our friend Nicole in NYC and another friend Ezgi from London. Alyssa and I have 'known' Nicole for years now so it was a surreal experience to actually meet in person. I'm still so grateful for the connections you make through blogging.

We watched a few Broadway shows, Romeo and Juliet (with Orlando Bloom), Cinderella and Matilda. The night we watched Orlando we waited outside to see him. We had our phones out and playbills ready and when he did come out the side door we got photos, a video and our playbills signed. It was an amazing experience. 

I will have part two up shortly and the rest of our trip. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
