This man is making me wish i was a photographer, if i had some money i would get my butt a camera and attempt to take some fancy shots.
Also i have been feeling the need to resort to third person.
I find everything sounds just a little bit more special this way.

Gimme, gimme, gimme.

 I am on the hunt for oversized everything. I want a cardigan, vintage band tee and jersey of some description. I have been sifting through some pictures on the internet, and i'm in love with this look. I know every girl is cranking it at the moment, but for once i really don't care. It's such a damn good look, i want in!

Question: What look are you totally getting off on lately?

want to know how this was achieved.

Photographers out there, i need your help!

Something i've always wanted to do is a bit of amateur photgraphy as a hobby. I've never done any photography and basically know jack about cameras and technique. Sooooo if you know some stuff can you help me out? I am basically looking to pick up a camera which is good quality, not too expensive, and a good model for an amatuer to start with. Any suggestions?

She passed by my window and bent to pick her glove she'd dropped her eyes were all aglow from the bright and brittle snow have you time for my company?

Flights booked!!!

Oh wow, my flights are booked, this is really happening! Things haven't felt so real until now. I'm sitting here looking at my itinerary and seriously can not believe i have made this happen all on my own! I leave New Zealand on the 9th December a Thursday at 7pm at night. I have to catch three different flights in the space of 24 hours. I leave my family from New Plymouth at 2.15pm that afternoon and fly into Auckland at 3pm. I then check in at the international terminal at 4pm and fly to Los Angeles at 7.15pm. I arrive in LA at 10.15am on the 9th December (weird!) and have to wait at the airport till 4pm when i catch my flight to Seattle. I finally arrive at my destination and new home for the next 12 months at 6.30pm (no doubt i will be exhausted!)
LESS THAN 4 MONTHS TO GO!!!!!!!!!!
One of my friends has also informed me that she will be coming over mid way through next year to live near San Francisco for a while. We are going to travel via train and bus from Seattle to New York together. What kind of places should we visit? I know really nothing about America so anyone that lives there or has visited i would appreciate your input. Where should we go and what should we see?
Much Love and Excitement!

Lately...

Have been.
Drinking too much coffee.
Working too much.
Failing to update my blog (my apoligies my dedicated readers if any of you still exist!)
Stressing over the amount of forms i need to fill in order to get my trip underway.
Worrying about finances.
Still revelling in all the glory that was the movie Inception, my god!
Wanting to buy! No money to spend!
Loving the attention of a certain cute one.
Missing my family but anticipating the arrival of my first niece or nephew.
Eating too many delicious treats.
Wanting new music, badly i have been listening to way too much Lady Gaga lately.

I'm going to be a little more active with this blog business from now on, i promise!
Love Lady G xx

All things Seattle.

Ok so the Seattle countdown is totally on! Less than six months now guys. I am getting unbelievably excited and nervous but mostly excited. I was just browsing websites trying to find places to go to look for flats/rooms to rent. It is so different to our system in New Zealand and i find myself getting very confused! If anyone can offer any help, please do! I will love you forever.

Cough, cough.

I brought back a cold from Taranaki, i hope it isn't the lingering kind! I was home last week for my Grandmother's 80th birthday party. The 80th was fantastic, i probably had more vodkas then i should've because when i went to say my speech to my beloved grandma i burst into tears. Was very embarrassing, but i started talking about my grandad who passed away two years ago and got super emotional. I had to be the one to start the crying! After the dinner and party i headed to what the small town people called a 'night club'. It was hilarious. I lasted a whole 30 minutes there and had to leave to maintain my dignity. Call me curious i just had to check the place out. As soon as i got in there an old friend of mine jumped on me. It was weird we used to be the best of friends doing everything together but after being away from Stratford for more than four years i found we have changed dramatically. It was still good seeing her, just weird seeing how little she had changed when i feel like i could'nt even relate to the person i used to be. While we were at home we went up Mt Egmont. It was beautiful, fresh, clean, covered in snow and deliciously cold. I forget how beautiful Taranaki actually is, i think i appreciate it that little bit more just for having been away from it. I really do miss my family though. The trips always go so fast and i always feel that i never get to spend enough time with them. I wonder how i will cope when i am in Seattle for over a year. I also got to spend some time with some old highschool friends which was great. Our conversations were just as hilarious as they used to be, and we relived old memories of our school days, fond memories that made up my life in Taranaki. I managed to check out Eclipse with my little sister Abigail. I actually enjoyed it, and thought it was one of the better Twilight movies. The rest i found were so awkward and filmed oddly but this one seemed to flow a little better. I am really looking forward to checking out the movies Cemetery Junction and Inception. Heres a few pics of my week :)
