Aventures alimentaires: Cindius Nargles

I don't know if it was because we were catching up in an American steakhouse (PJ's) which was what set the context but Cindy and I spent quite a few hours talking about all things American whilst dining on philly cheesesteaks, root beer and sweet potato fries with a NY Yankees flag watching over us. I haven't seen this girl in over a month because I've been working and studying like a crazy person and our schedules are always conflicting. What a ridiculous excuse. Anyway, as I was scrolling through my instagram feed one train ride home from uni, I found a quote that kind of just pulled some heart strings:
We are very good a preparing to live, but not very good at living. We know how to sacrifice ten years for a diploma, and we are willing to work very hard to get a job, a car, a house, and so on. But we have difficulty remembering that we are alive in the present moment, the only moment there is for us to be alive.
Anyway, this just made me think that little bit harder about how wisely I was investing my time, and in what. I'd expand more about this but it's currently 12:43am and I have class till 8pm in the morning so I'll just leave it at that. After PJ's, we went to Three Monkeys to have some NY cheesecake (it only just dawned on me the coincidence) and hot cocoa. There's just no other way to spend a chilly night in Brisbane. :)







Riya actually introduced me to the amazingness that is this New York cheesecake when we went there after debating last week. Although I've been here a few times before, this was the first time trying their cake. Hands down the most delicious baked goodness, ever.





Hope y'all have had a lovely week. Friday is the law ball and I am super duper excited for it!
Anyway, thanks for reading and have a great weekend (don't forget Mother's Day!).

Love, Sarah x.

Vous ne vendrez pas très bien

A couple weeks ago I was presented with a lovely opportunity to model for Vigari Boutique's new arrivals with the amazing, Sophia Cao Nguyen. Here are a couple of (untouched) photos from the shoot. Some things I learned from the shoot: You can't just do whatever (obviously); there is an actual art to posing which I am definitely not akin to, so props to the models who do this day in day out *claps*. It is an actual challenge. Forget the 200 selfies you take to find the right photo, think more 600+ photos, standing still for hours in the sun or taking huge strides back and forth for the perfect shot. Aside from all that, I had a grand old time. Oh yeah, portable change rooms on a windy roof top are definitely lolworthy. Anyway, enjoy!



Forgot seamless underwear. Whoops.



As you might have noticed this post is a filler post since I haven't updated in a while. Hope your May is going splendid and as it is the 4th today... May the 4th be with you (hehehe).

Love, Sarah x.
