Hmmmm, well after the crazy international exhibit closed in January. I took a good solid week to recuperate from the insanity of crowds and cold temps. We partied hard! I went through the ups and downs of job searching and ended up getting a great new job working for a public relations company. YEAH!

For now, I'm still working one day at my other job (while working at my full-time job during the week) AND going to school part-time in the evenings. Yeah, it's kinda crazy. Saturdays keep me sane. I don't have too much free time and feel extremely guilty if I'm not working on my homework. I try to keep a balance of spending time with Chris, getting stuff DONE and resting. I'm trying to stay healthy and not feel so rundown all the time. Which sometimes means saying NO when I can't go out. :/

We celebrated our two-year wedding anniversary!
Some old friends from Vegas came to visit us. Oh, we explored Seattle, coffee drinking and eating our way through it, soul night too! Good times!

We celebrated Waitangi Day at the Kiwi/Aussie pub in town. We saw Hot Water Music/La Dispute/The Menzingers last week and my friend Aaron J. Shay played an awesome show last night.

Valentine's Day was so lovely and low key. And we celebrated Chris' birthday weekend exploring and eating great food. I can't believe we've lived here now for about 10 months. I love Seattle!

Clueless, BFC & Girl Power

These photos have been out for a while, but I couldn't help but think about my good girl friends Lady C & Crassy Wallace.

Not only have we already imitated photos like this, but last summer we rewatched Clueless missing the sass of the 90s.

Dionne, Cher and Tai, I think we are a little bit of each.

If I could remember a time in my life when I felt so empowered, it was when I surrounded myself with an army of women.

A serious reunion needs to happen soon, but we have to conquer sleep deprivation first. Visits home are always a mad dash of stress. Maybe we can convince Christie to come up here and join us! This photo is definitely Christie!
All photos are from Wildfox's Spring 2013 Collection

Anybody else watching Girls, Carrie Diaries or Hart of Dixie? I love my girly TV.

A Room With A View

During our last week living in Auckland, New Zealand, I made sure to take in the stunning views from our apartment balcony. We lived in this flat for three years! I'd spend days staring out the window in hopes of more sunshine, the city of sails floating around the harbour and being homesick.

I'd watch Juice TV, TV 3 and all sorts of NZ and British programming. The view from the Auckland CBD facing the North Shore.


City views. You can see the Sky Tower, Television New Zealand, ANZ Bank, ASB Bank and Newstalk ZB












Our flat all spruced up thanks to Veronica.


We always ate at that table near the window.




I hope we'll one day see these views again. Our landlord was my mum-in-law, so maybe she can make it possible for us :)

Advanced Style Party

Last month we dressed up in our wildest, boldest and stylish outfits in celebration of Advanced Style a website created by Ari Seth Cohen.

Watch this clip for the documentary and show your uninhibited side. Stop caring about what other people think and quit taking yourself so seriously. Have some fun :)


After watching this video, I pulled out one of the loudest pieces that I own. It's a vintage piece that would make my mother cringe. Awwww. My Aunties would also laugh at this. :)

This psychedlic 60s/70s print was found at the Rose Bowl flea market in Pasadena. The black basic top is from H&M, tights are from Ayala Mall in Cebu, Philippines. I borrowed Lady C's Zara shoes. Thanks lady!
Further details from my dream vintage Rose Bowl flea market trip can be found here. I asked Colette if I could pull this off and if it was me, and she said, "YES!" On that note, I miss Colette and beautiful sunny Southern California. I hope this life lets me visit her in the UK and another ladies trip to sunny So Cal one day.



Blogger and documentarian Ari Seth Cohen even left me a message about the party on instagram. So flattered he wrote us!



Lady C and Sarah looking gorgeous.


Fierce and beautiful






Here's a round up. I wish I could have taken photos of everybody elses outfits. It'll happen next time! Another Advanced Style party will be hosted later this month. I'll post details later. Message me if you're in the Seattle area and interested.
