NOW YOU SAY, YOU WANT TO DO MY LAUNDRY

Facebook "on this day" has been reminding that this time last year I was on my first overseas trip to Japan.  A year on when I think about Tokyo I get a feeling of homesickness. It sounds weird to feel homesick about a place that isn't your home but there was something about being there that just felt instantly comfortable. If you would like to see some of the things I purchases while I was there you can check it out here. I am really keen to get back to Japan over the next few years. At the moment though I need to be saving my pennies for a an upcoming trip in January to America.

I will be going to New York for a week and then off to Los Angeles for two weeks. It is more of a music working trip for my partner so the finer details are all in his capable hands. I am a little bit nervous about the temperatures in New York, which are looking to be -3 degrees, eeeeep! I have never been in temperatures that cold and can't really get my head around how to dress for it, If anyone has any tips please comment below. I figure I will have to rug up when walking around but am unsure about if that will then mean being to warm and uncomfy inside if I am wearing thermals. Again any tips, please leave comments! :) Also any must see, do ideas are more than welcome. xx

EVERYTHING IS A BETTER CHANGE

Over the weekend my partner and I went and looked at some rental properties, we are looking at getting a unit a bit closer to town and closer to the beach (yay!). I've made the huge mistake of falling madly love with a place that we have applied for...I've been day dreaming about setting it up to be my perfect pastel wonderland and now I have to sit back and wait patiently with all of my fingers and toes crossed. Hopefully my next post will be one of excitement and not a real estate induced broken heart.

In the theme of interior decorating I did my first DIY update on a glossy black mirror that I have had forever (I might post a pic next week). It's currently setting in a gorgeous shade of pastel mint, it was actually a lot easier than I expected and is making me want to maybe try my hand at a few more DIY furniture updates. I've always wanted to paint my desk pastel pink so that might be a project I'll get into pretty soon.

I really need to also get stuck back into my sewing, I'm not in a rut with it, the total opposite in fact. Since I got back from Tokyo I am feeling over inspired, I don't know if that makes a lot of sense. I think being there made me feel so inspired and made me want to do so many creative projects that I am procrastinating by daydreaming about all the millions of things I want to do but not actually getting anything done. Time for some lists and time management! xx
