louis vuitton geometric v keyring

Found a great little piece to add to my collection - the Geometric V Keyring from Louis Vuitton S/S 2006. It matches the pendant I already had, although is image is clean and bold compared to the distressed, aged looking pendant.

Balmoral Beach, Sydney

Salt & Pepper Calamari

Perfect day to go to the beach, and then afterwards visit the Sydney Fish Markets.

baghdad eggs... eggs that blow up in your face

Baghdad Eggs

This morning I woke up to the smell of garlic and cumin cooking... soon enough I discovered it was Baghdad Eggs cooking on the stove, something I haven't had in two years!

a spot of shopping

Stefano High Tops, Witchery Man

Bought a new pair of shoes today that will go with everything. They're a low high top canvas sneaker with strap and buckle details and a zip for easy access. Perfect for skinny jeans which are a staple in my wardrobe.

gone are the days of turning left to experience business class

Pre-Flight Amenities - Orange Juice, Menu, Newspaper

Starter - Vanilla Poached Salmon with Endive Salad and Dill Creme

Main Course - Three Cup Chicken with Egg Fried Rice, Kai Lan, Carrot and Black Mushroom

Dessert - Ice cream selection of Cookies & Cream and Black Doris Plum served with Chocolate & Almond Wafer

Air New Zealand offer a great Business Class product across the Tasman which I have now experienced for the first time . Although I have travelled Business Class a few times on Emirates (MEL-AKL, SYD-AKL) and Thai (BKK-SYD-AKL) I have never had the chance to try Air New Zealand.

Air New Zealand offer benefits such as 3 pieces of checked baggage, 2 pieces of carry-on baggage, Koru Lounge access, and express facilities upon arrival in Sydney.

louis vuitton bequia porte-document vertical

Introducing my Louis Vuitton Bequia Porte-Document Vertical in Anthracite from the Men's F/W 2007 collection. I was lucky enough to be pointed in the direction of the bag that I have wanted ever since I saw it on a guy on the train when I was in Rome in 2008. This bag has been very well looked after, and was surprisingly purchased at the Louis Vuitton store in Munich in April 2009; almost certainly the last new one in existence at that stage!

6 hours in queenstown

Another grabaseat flight, this time from Christchurch to Queenstown for $2 return. I flew to Christchurh from Auckland that morning in time to catch my next flight to Queenstown, which was covered in fog. We faced the prospect of diverting to Invercargill or heading back to Christchuch, however the fog managed to move just in time for us to land.

mother's day

What better way to celebrate Mother's Day than with a huge window mosaic of post-it notes with personal messages written on them, not only wishing a Happy Mother's Day, but also reflecting just how multicultural Auckland really is.
