Friend Friday: Travel Tips

July 9, 2010

It’s summer in the U.S., and that means lots of us are taking off for some fabulous vacation destination. Not me, sadly—but anyway, that’s the Friend Friday* topic du jour. We were asked the following questions: Are you going anywhere this summer that will require a suitcase? What are your ‘must-pack’ items? When it comes [...]

Paris au Printemps!

March 26, 2010

A few weeks ago, I asked for some advice about what to wear when visiting Paris in spring. My lovely reader Lac was planning a trip and I took it upon myself to ask others for fashion advice. You all responded, Lac flew off to Paris where she is now, and here is an update: [...]

Paris Perfect

January 28, 2010

Alright, I think we have some answers on what to wear when visiting Paris in March! Two things I learned: No white runners/sneakers/trainers. In fact none at all. (Thank goodness these days there are athletic shoes that masquerade as casual wear, not gym wear.) Scarf required. Thank you Tex (Ms. Fashion Butter), for your first-hand [...]

My Wear Weather

January 27, 2010

In my quest to help my reader, Lac, prepare for a trip to Paris in March, I received a tweet from @threadswap about My Wear Weather, which is the cutest site ever. It’s clever and practical, with weather forecasts for Australia and major international cities, communicated in such a way as to answer my favorite [...]

Your opinion is humbly requested…

January 26, 2010

Dear readers, I recently received a comment on my post, StyleShot: (I ♥) Victoria about what to wear on a one week trip to Paris in March. We all know how incredibly pulled together Parisian women are…their style is world famous. I’ve never been to Paris, so I can’t really say how dressed or not people [...]

Planes and Pink Man

December 4, 2009

So I have arrived back Down Under in one piece. Since it’s currently 5:10am and I’m blogging, suffice it to say that the jetlag hasn’t been overcome. On my first flight from the east coast to the west coast of the U.S., I happened to sit beside a super nice guy, who I learned is [...]

Aren’t we glad I’m in the U.S. for Red Sydney Day?

September 22, 2009

So the word from Sydney is that it looked like a scene from the Apocalypse today. A freaky sand storm covered the entire city with dust and the sky was an impenetrable red haze for miles. It was so bad that planes were halted, ferries stopped running, and bible-thumpers crawled out of their bomb shelters [...]

Back from Vegas

August 25, 2009

OK, I’m back. How pathetic am I that my plane landed three hours ago, and I’m already on my blog? Or that I Facebooked my trip from my new BlackBerry Bold like the whole time I was there? I am a total geek. Truly, and especially since I’m now contemplating a Netbook just so I [...]

Greetings from Oz

June 5, 2008

Hello friends! Just a quick note to say g’day and let you all know that I arrived at my destination Down Under with no problems. Am having a lovely time noticing all the differences here and have only had one Bush-basher in my face so far, so I suppose that is pretty good, though I [...]

Signing off…

May 29, 2008

Well, folks, the time has come for my long awaited trip to the land Down Under. This is my official last post before I begin the first leg of my trip tomorrow. An adventure awaits me, that I know. But what comes after that is what I am more curious about (typical me). Anyway, I’ve [...]
