OK seriously, check out this clothing brand! SO CUTE. It's all made in NZ with organic material- AND they use famous landmarks as their patterns. I'm in love.


the problem?


$300 for a jacket and $129 for a shirt is a bit much.. even with the exchange rate. Hopefully it's just the big touristy store in the tourist center of a tourist city that made it cost so much....

My latest destination- Work starts on Thurs (I'll be helping out in the office) so I figure I need to go out while I can!!!

I ran into an ISV recruiter from Philly (yeah, Philidelphia) We had pizza and talked each other's ears off. It was great fun. Not an exciting story, but great fun! haha
