The last month has been filled with two trips to the capital city, Wellington, attempting to organise my life and plenty of laughter and fun. The first Wellington trip was with my cousins to go and see Disney on Ice and included a night in the city. Starbucks was present, cue a shot of lunch, shopping was done and memories were made. I thoroughly enjoyed our weekend getaway.
Toffee bon bons because no trip to Wellington is complete without stopping by Kirkcaldie and Stains to buy some of these sweet things. Definitely worth the price and wait!
Oh and I had to have another Iced Shaken Passion Tea with Lemonade because it is the
bomb diggity, even in winter! I didn't take my DSLR to the show as I don't have a lens greater than 55mm so I opted for my dad's 'bridge' camera with a massive zoom and recorded bits and pieces of the show. Taking photos with the crazy spotlights wasn't ideal and somehow recording did a better job of working with the ever changing lighting.
Trip #2 was a little road trip of sorts with my sister. She wanted to go to an open night for the path of study she wants to embark on so I joined her for the trip. We stopped for lunch along the way and did a touch of shopping to make it worthwhile. One of my purchases happened to be
this pretty trench coat in navy blue which I'm in love with.
The road to between Paramata and Whitby is so pretty with the sparkling blue water lapping up against the road in places. It was a touch windy so staring at my camera while driving through this wasn't my smartest idea, but I love this photo!
Red and white flowers for my bedroom fresh from the garden, Oscar being the cheeky little cat he is. August has been a great month, but my birthday month should bring even more excitement! Bring on September!
