And by little, I mean at least a two-inch chop. I’m headed home to Wellington next week for a short trip, and there’s nothing like the thought of a looming holiday to make a haircut seem all the more enticing. Now if only I hadn’t left it with just a week to try and make this happen…
Ann Demeulemeester Spring 2009 lace up heeled sandals // img source: Stop it right now Let’s rewind to Spring 2009; I’d just finished my university degree, and was set to spend two months travelling about Europe and the west coast of North America with nothing but my own companionship (for the most part) and a large backpack, carrying far more than I could possibly need.

Stella McCartney sweatshirt, J Crew skirt, Marni heels (similar), Proenza Schouler PS11 satchel Making the most of sweater weather while it lasts; which if today was anything to go by, won’t be for too much longer.

Unlike my previous pair, which seemed immune to every minor knock or scrape, I found that the Porselli’s endured most scrapes – bar a couple minor nicks at the toe – in addition to surviving a bout of Sydney’s torrential rain. The heels have suffered…
Stella McCartney lips sweatshirt, Country Road shirt (similar), Frame Denim skinny jeans, Cuyana tote bag (similar) Wednesdays spent waiting for the weekend – with all of its promise. Waiting for two days of lounging around in jeans and oversized sweatshirts while drinking endless cups of chai, with absolutely nowhere to go. At least, that’s how it starts. Inevitably, in the days leading up to the weekend, I start committing myself; a coffee here, a brunch or two there, drinks at 7, oh, and the regular weekend grocery shop – can’t forget that. But for all that running around, at least…
