Photos taken from a road trip of both the Great Ocean Road and the drive between Melbourne and Sydney. Australia's coast line is absolutely stunning.

who's the where

Some more of the amazingness of Melbourne. I go back in a couple of weeks and I can't wait, it really is a wicked city. Walking around is a colourful experience with all the alleys filled with some of the best street art in the world.

I'm wearing a madonna vest my sister bought me and a black sarong skirt thing- which doesn't work that well when it's windy and I always end up either flashing or having to go change.

It's hard living out of a suitcase, I am bored of all my clothing, everything is always screwed up-me and the iron are just not friends.

there are no words just smells

So far 2010 has not been my best year at blogging, I have been in Australia since October and so far my 'blogging' (hate that word) has been sporadic at best. I have 2 blogs and I am sad to say that any internet time I have had dedicated to 'blogging' (seriously hate that word) has mostly been spent on my other blog COCONUT TRAVELS - and I am 2 months behind on that too. So please accept my sincere apologies and I hope that I can be a little more consistent with my posting on BLONDE ON BLACK .

I just got back from a magical trip to Fiji. It was absolutely beautiful, the sky was like a dream it had the most beautiful sunsets when the it would turn all kinds of shades of pink, and at sunrise it became a deep orange as the sun came up over the mountains. Each night there was countless stars in the midnight blue sky, and even on the rare occasion in the late afternoon when the usually bright blue sky became overcast it looked like it belonged to story about mythical creatures.

I am now in Sydney for the next 3 weeks so any Sydney-siders have any tips or must-do's please let me know, the Lonely Planet guide book is great but you can't beat inside advice.

Obviously the picture in this post are not from Fiji, the top and bottom photos are from London and the middle one is of the best hot chocolate I have ever tasted from Ganache in Melbourne. This is what I am craving right now, the sweetness tantalising my taste buds, the richness filling my mouth, the velvety texture satisfying my throat and the slightly sticky essence left behind on my lips tempting me for another sip. It's 9:30 am and all I can think of is HOT CHOCOLATE.

Melbourne

Hanging out in one of my new favourite cities. Melbourne is alive with backstreet culture, heaven for a foodie and a shoppers dream. Getting to grips with the indecisive weather and looking forward to tonnes more exploring.

if i were joking

Still hanging out in Australia, kicking back at the beaches day or night and soaking up the summer sun. These photos were taken way over a month back when we were on the Gold Coast- i'm seriously behind with posting stuff. These days you can find me in the Whitsundays until January when we head to MELBOURNE. Seriously excited. Hit me up with any tips or places I should check out whilst I'm there.

walk in the woods

For the last two and half weeks I have been in Australia neglecting this blog, instead I have been posting on my other blog COCONUT TRAVELS. But alas I have returned to my beloved blog and here is a snippet of my spring time sunshine. I am seriously gutted about this long black dress I am wearing here because it seems to have shrunk in the wash, I have since fallen out with the washing machine who's fault it is because obviously it is not mine.

australian models are so kickass right now.

and talking of australia.... me and my boyfriend are thinking of travelling to australia or new zealand for 6 months or so. not to backpack but have a 'working holiday'. we want to stay in a beach town thats relatively near a city, so it still has fashion, cool bars but has an awesome laid back vibe.

can anyone hit me up with some places to look into in either australia or new zealand.

wish you were here. wish i was there.

man i wish i was at the beach today in the sun, frollicking in the sea.
