Now this isn’t meant to be a ‘life lessons’ post for anyone reading, it’s a ‘put it into perspective’ post for me. London is a big city and it will swallow you whole if you’re not careful. But your own personal outlook has a lot to do with what you can get out of it.

Five days in Northern Italy
I feel like I may have built up the hype for this post. It contains minimal photos of Italian fashion, food and architecture. Mainly because I spent the majority of my time eating, drinking wine, being a bridesmaid in an Australian-Italian wedding and searching for the elusive George Clooney.

NYC in a nutshell: Shopping in Manhattan
For those of you who know me well, I’ve always been a collector of fashion magazines and more recently, a follower of fashion and lifestyle blogs, Instagram accounts and Pinterest design inspiration boards.

Or as I should call it, how to cope in subzero temperatures during one of the coldest winters in a decade to hit the Big Apple: “You’re in New York! The city of dreams!
