So just a quick post to say hello from The Big Apple! I arrived in New York City just over three days ago and already feel like I've crammed in some solid days of sight seeing and acting like a (completely Asian) tourist with peace signs and a beaming smile from ear to ear. I'm trying to do as much as I can before the craziness of NYFW begins next week! There's so much to do in this city that I feel like it's been a completely different experience from my first trip here this time last year. This might also have something to do with the fact that there's just something about New York City that makes it so easy to feel like you live here and you're just slipping back into your second life nestled in Manhattan somewhere. All I have to do now is track down Chuck Bass and finally find out who Gossip Girl really is. My money is still on Eric but who knows, it could be Serena after all this time. Maybe that's why her hair so big and amazing... It's "full of secrets". And if you get that movie reference there I like you already.

So after a few very crazy weeks I finally landed in LA on Monday morning and couldn't have been happier to leave the stress behind that had been building up before flying out. Thanks in a large part to too much coffee, I somehow managed to have my suitcase packed by 9pm the night before with 4 kilos of extra luggage space to spare. With nearly three months of travel and four fashion weeks in front of me, I can safely say I've never been this long away from home before. Part of me is too excited by the thought of what I will do, what I will see and who will I meet, whilst the other half is already longing for the smell of sea salt that fills my hometown and falling asleep with Yumi's paw in my hand. This is also the longest time I've been apart from Luke as we won't see each other for a whole 6 weeks. Luckily I was in very good hands to keep me company when I landed in LA thanks to

and their boyfriends. We even managed to take some photos of me after I had just walked off a 14 hour flight from Sydney. And no word of a lie, this is me run down after being seated in front of a crazy man who wouldn't let me recline my chair because I was "hitting his knee"... and me being me of course didn't argue with him. Let's just say sunglasses were definitely needed. Now off to New York City!
