TGIF: Siena!

TGIF: Siena!

 Hey hey! So, in my last post I mentioned that I’ve got pretty exciting news, and tadum tadaa, I’m in Siena, Italy.    It’s the most beautiful Tuscan town located sort of between Pisa and Florence but not really. It’s close to San Gimignano as well which I’ve just been to. What’s an expat mannequin without some expat-ing, eh? I’ve been here almost a week now. I wasn’t able to…

On the Rug || Vitamin C and Sophie

I really  appreciate how that sort of rhymes, sort of. Most people know Sophie Kinsella for the Shopaholic series, Shopaholic 1,2, Shopaholic and baby shopaholic…you catch my drift. She’s a really good writer and has a great sense of humour, and nails the romcom literature genre- so she’s perfect for a gloomy day such as this one.

On the Rug : Amoafoa

Over summer break I got to go back home and see my family and friends again. It’s the best feeling I’ve had in the last ten months. Freshman year was really rough; it induces a lot of hard thinking I guess we’re not always ready for.
