Wellington in 24 hours

Wellington in 24 hours

Home to excellent coffee, a thriving cafe culture and art scene, and of course that wind, there seemed like no better time to play tourist in my home town that on my recent trip back to Wellington. For those wanting to get a taste of the capital or rediscover it like I have, you’ll find my guide to exploring Wellington in 24 hours below. Enjoy a lazy breakfast at Maranui. Overlooking Lyall Bay beach, Maranui is hands down one of my favourite spots to breakfast in the capital, and if you’ve been there before, you’ll know why. With a generous…

Waking up (not so) slowly

Waking up (not so) slowly

A typical Saturday morning usually involves waking up slow, a fresh cold pressed juice, a walk down to the beach, and if Luke and I are up to it, a very late breakfast (or lunch) at one of our favourite cafés in Bondi. Today, I definitely didn’t wake up slow. With the temperature slated to reach 26C by lunch time, it’s not exactly the kind of weather that was going to keep me confined indoors. An early start meant I could go for a brisk jog/run for an hour before the heat of the day, with time to pick up…

Her Minneapolis apartment is a minimalist’s dream; a Scandi-sanctuary that you could well and truly live in, and don’t get me started on that light. Luke and I have almost finished furnishing our apartment – an effort which has taken up much of the year, considering I find…

Nude nails

Nude nails

OPI in ‘going my way or Norway’ I’ve been using OPI’s Going my way or Norway a lot as of late; it’s the new nude. Earthy, rich, and as far as I’m concerned, universally flattering. It’s safe, but not quite so safe as a classic red – and not quite as expected. With Sydney’s weather quickly heating up, I’m trying to make the most of this muted hue, as I’ve no doubt it won’t be long before I succumb to a gelati-like assortment of soft pinks, yellows and blues.

and just like that…

and just like that…

Acne white slim t-shirt, Dion Lee skirt, Acne mape leather jacket, Charlotte Olympia ‘gemini’ flats, Celine trio (in blush or similar) And just like that, I’m home. Holidays always seem to go by so quickly, and even more so when you’re having a lot of fun. I came home a little more exhausted than I left, although I suppose that’s to be expected when you try and cram in something for every waking minute of the day. Flying back to Sydney, I managed to realise the flaw in bringing four pairs of shoes, especially when leaving with six (shoes are…
