Around the world

Ahhh! I can’t believe June is over. Seriously, this year has probably gone by the fastest so far. It’s been over a month since my last post. Fail. Things have been a little busy since I last left off. I spent another couple weeks in India, came back for a week then it was off to New Zealand for 2 weeks, back for a day then, off to Seattle for our good friends’ wedding, back for a week and a half and then off to Chicago for my nephew’s 1st birthday. Crazy.

Lots of exciting things to share that went on amidst all my traveling, but I thought I’d start where I left off and share some pics from India and New Zealand. It’s definitely been a great experience to visit some of these places I would probably never go on my own, but I just want to throw it out there that it’s a lot less glamorous that it seems. Long days and ughh… jet lag is the worst  (let’s just say I drank a lot of coffee). I did get to sneak in a little sightseeing on the weekends and of course I made sure to snap some pictures of things that inspired me at dinners, the hotel or wherever I happened to be. Most of them ended up on Instagram (you can follow me at christienoelle) but here’s a little compilation from where I last left off.

New scarves from India, beautiful seating area at the Leland Hotel, delicious cheese platter and gorgeous dinnerware I wouldn’t mind having on my table.

Am I the only one who gets excited to see things with my name on them?? Christie’s Cafe in Goa and Christie’s Gin spotted at the airport in New Zealand (which of course I had to purchase).

Views from my run to Mt. Eden – the highest natural point in Aukland. Gorgeous.

All Blacks game.

Some lovely flowers and displays spotted around Aukland.

Views from wine tasting at Waiheke Island. The water was soooo blue and I am obsessed with those chesterfield chairs and couch. Get in my living room.
