Here’s a Polaroid tip: when shooting a selfie in full sun, look at the location of your arm/camera before shooting. Adjust accordingly.

Latest Frankie and Real Living magazines by my bed. Peter Alexander’s new range in store. Magnation store in Newtown. Crust pizza (nothing new- just loving it once more). [...]

Why must things always appear just as you’re disappearing? Not only is Top Shop apparently coming to Australia, but I just discovered that a store in the Galleries Victoria in Sydney has been selling A.P.C. and I had no idea!

My sister in Centennial Park, Sydney So you wouldn’t think that this is the dead of winter here in Sydney, right now.
