We wandered across the Chinese New Year parade, featuring lions! I think these are way more adorable than the Sunnybank Chinese New Year lions of my youth :P Dumplings from the Camy Shanghai Dumpling House – so delicious and cheap too!

Wherein I review my first pedicure
I just had my first ever pedicure and it was THE WEIRDEST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE. Nick and I decided to pamper ourselves after all our intrepid plodding last week, and surprisingly Nick was the one who was enthusiastic about getting a professional to tend to our sore feet. I was less into it because…

Lunch outfit and new hair
Dress: City Chic Boots: Torrid Sunglasses: Giant Vintage I went out for lunch with my family at their soon-to-be local pub on the weekend and decided to break out the paisley dress. Everyone usually has a giggle when they see me wearing this! When I can afford new clothes I’ll be buying more floral dresses…
Featured in How magazine
One rather exciting thing that happened recently was that I was one of six featured lettering artists in How magazine‘s 25th anniversary issue. See, there I am! The write up was really lovely too and made me feel all busy and important. If you’d like to read the page I was profiled on, take a…
