Hello Sandwiches!
I have some exciting news!
I AM MOVING TO TOKYO!!! eeeeep!
It's been a dream of mine for a very long time so now it's so exciting to announce that I am finally moving!
It's been very sad to resign from my role of Deputy Art Director at VOGUE Living Magazine :( After 11 years at VOGUE, it really does feel like my home away from home and I just adore my lovely and super talented team! But at the same time I am so excited to start the next chapter of my life IN TOKYO! eeeeeep!
Hello Sandwich will be coming to you live from Tokyo from the end of June! Armed with my new iphone (it's shameful that I don't have one already!), I'll be expanding the Hello Sandwich content to include audio and video content from super cute locations (and maybe my new Hello Sandwich apartment - hopefully in Gakugeidaigaku) in Tokyo! I promise never to post karaoke footage! ooooo I hope you will enjoy!
Miss you already Australia!
Love Love
