Summer has ended here in Italy and is beginning in New Zealand... I'm so excited to be arriving home soon catching up with friends and soaking up the sun! My summer track for this year is attached below. enjoy!  http://soundcloud.com/amy-jean/without-you P.s soo happy you got tom ford I got myself a bottle of victor & rolf flowerbomb for a present for myself.

TOM FORD - Black Orchid

Black Orchid Campaign with Julia Restion Roitfield 

My long awaited bottle of Tom Ford Black Orchid just arrived from Europe via my family friend's suitcase! Having stupidly missed out on purchasing it on my way back from Munich (I thought I would be clever a wait til I got to Hong Kong airport, sadly it isn't sold in Asia or NZ much to my annoyance),  it's been a long time coming but most definitely worth the wait.

I love the campaign partly because I'm a little obsessed with art deco at the moment. I keep on seeing run down art deco houses around. There's a particularly nice one opposite the roxy in Miramar, which would look gorgeous with a bright paint job, sadly I didn't have my camera with me.

Procrastination and Firenze

Sadly the bunnies aren't mine, oh how I wish that they were. They are soooo cute! And fluffy and soft and all things nice!

Poor you all sick. I bet it's something to do with Tom's famous pub crawl? I think I only made it to the 2nd bar then things got blurry, we all got seperated and well, I think probably worth its whole entire post!

I want to know all about your time there! Gossip, sites and pretty pictures! I'm starved of European adventures, all I have is my collection of photos which I need to sort out. Here's one that I'm sure you'll recognise!

How is your Italian going? So jealous, I want to read Velvet and pretend to drink Italian coffee. You better bring the latest one back with you! Although I'm sure by now that you have way too much to fit in under 25kg. Did you do any shopping in Firenze?

Love and miss you too!

PS - most importantly I hope that the riots in Rome havn't affected you. Eeek.

AUTUMN FALLS

It's getting colder here, you can start to see all the snow on the mountains, and soon this little town will be completely white! I've been sick since i got back from Florence, and this is what I have been doing, reading VELVET magazine (which i am now addicted to it's soo good!) and replacing my gelato with amazing hot chocolates!

Miss everyone, expecially you Alex, can't believe your've got bunnies! xxxx  

Arnaud et Amelie

This weekend just been I went to the country side with the family to visit a friend. Still recovering from my illness I spent Saturday lying on the couch in front of the fire after our lunch and introduction to the newest addition to her family, Arnaud and Amelie.

Below are photos of them in their new run, the raspberry patch. I must say I never knew that bunnies had such interesting personalities. Arnaud was by far the bolder around people and liked to show off by doing flips in the air. Amelie was a little more timid, but also just as cute. x

Doing what rabbits do best - being very fast.

Spring Time

It's been awhile since my last post, times have been busy since I got back to Wellington. I feel this blog is more apately named even than I first thought...

I'm just getting over my 3 week mystery bug perhaps due to the flowers gifted to me by a kind friend who realised I was in need of a cheer up after spending our only week of sunshine cooped up in bed. I love the colours!

Below the flowers is my pre-bed ridden purchase to cheer myself up, the pink Butter nail polish. (Pictured with it is the Butter nail foundation, which I would recommend.) The colour is called Snog.

Love,

A.

PS - Photos to come of my weekend with my two new friends, Arnaud and Amelie.

German Bread

Little bit obsessed with this bread. Actually all German brown bread. Something I'm going to miss when I'm back in two weeks. This one is particularly nice as it has fennel seeds on it. YUM! It has a little edible sticker on it too.

There is still so much to do here and so little time. I have read about a few good bread shops which would love to go to. Sadly design is taking over and I haven't got enough hours in the day to do everything. Munich I am not done with you yet. Why doesn't school start back in August? Gah.
