I love a good dress up party!

Here in Aus, we have a tradition, where if you are turning 18 or 21 everyone must throw a big party with a theme!!

Where as in America, the one night to dress up is of course - Halloween!!

We don't celebrate Halloween here like they do in America, the whole build up, the pumpkin picking/carving, the orange leaves, the houses putting scary skeletons and ghosts around their front lawn, the children going door to door, chanting out "trick or treat" and admiring their costumes, the halloween parade in Greenwich Village and the parties, it's just not the same here!

And thats just one thing I miss!!!

However, I do think us Aussies excel in dress up parties, and I just had to break out my old Halloween costume back from 2009, from when I was living in Pelham, New York!!

New York Baby

In exactly 4 months today - my bestest friend Elly and I are heading to New York City, my home away from home while I was living in the U S of A!!!

We have been planning this trip for months and months, saving lots of money, figuring out where we wanted to go, when we were able to go (getting leave from work was a little bit more difficult for one of us!!!) and finally as of today we got our tickets!! Woooo hoooo!!!

And the most exciting thing is

1) we shall be celebrating Elly's birthday while we are in NYC

And

2) we shall be celebrating a friends engagement party!!!

And now the count down begins and September couldn't come any faster!!!!

Hi

I'm Nicole and I'm a Mac-aholic!

Ok, well not really!!!

Yesterday I finally bought a Mac - with having the desire and wanting to buy one for over 3 years now (having been incredibly jealous seeing my friend buy one and being able to play with it) I finally got one!!!

I haven't been able to stop playing with it since!

I spent the night I got it, playing with it, reading the manual, looking up youtube videos for tips and tricks, (and I'm normally in bed by 9:30, having to be at work by 6:30, so someone was tired the next day) spending my working day, planning what kind of case I wanted to buy for it looking on ebay and etsy for the perfect case, trying to find some cool vinyl decals to put on the cover, then spending a friday night, in bed, with my new mac on my lap!!

I'm very happy with my decision to finally get one, and I find this all so exciting!!!
