Present from Fujifilm!!!

You guys!!!

I LIVE for Fujifilm so you can just imagine when I received an email from Fujifilm press (and two orders for my Hello Sandwich Tokyo Guide from them!!!) wanting to make contact with me and send over some goodies to play with! I MEAN....! I practically s c r e a m e d at my iMac!

The amazing girls at Fujifilm head office in Australia heard about my upcoming trip to Lithuania and Amsterdam and wanted me to have this X100T in time for the trip! Not only is it such a beautiful, beautiful camera, but it has wireless transfer which will be so invaluable for travelling so I can instagram pics live on location without having to go back to my laptop in the hotel. I can't wait to share some pics with you from the trip!

Love you Fujifilm! (and you brilliant girls in Sydney who made this all happen!)

P.S. For anyone who has the Hello Sandwich Tokyo Guide - you can see the Fujifilm shop in the Harajuku section!

Hello Tokyo on iTunes!

Whaaaaaaaat?!

I definitely didn't think Hello Tokyo would make it over to iTunes! It's all so surreal for me!

If you can't wait for the hard copy to go on sale in your country, head on over here for the digital version.

Also! Gosh, it's a nice day in Tokyo today. Summer has settled down so I can come out of air-con lock down and open all of the windows. This apartment is on the corner and has more windows than walls so the breeze is one of my most favourite parts of living here. Tonight I'm off to see my amazing friend Grace's work in a special show for Rope Picnic! This girl is crazy talented!

Currently playing in Hello Sandwich HQ.

Here is a little review on Hello Tokyo book.

There's an interview about Hello Sandwich over here. I'm going to try and start blogging more, and trying out some Periscope live feeds. If there are things you'd love me to post about / share, please let me know! A few people have suggested a FAQs page and have even sent through a few questions they'd love answered. If you have any questions, please pop them in the comments or send me an email. I'd love to hear from you lovely Sandwiches!

Sandwich in Lithuania and Amsterdam!

Did you know that I'm 1/2 Lithuanian and 1/2 Australian? It's true! And...because of that....Now Japan is flying me over to Lithuania this month to give a presentation about my Lithuanian background and life in Tokyo! I'm soooo excited! I haven't been back to Lithuania since I was 18 years old. 

And - Then I'm sneaking off to Amsterdam to speak at Citinerary event at the Hoxton. I'd love to host a workshop too in Amsterdam too if I can make it happen somehow. Any ideas welcome! 

And ZOMG! 

Look at this super cute hotel I'm staying at briefly in Amsterdam! 

I'm staying in this adorable pink and blue "printed house" room where everything is 2D printed! 

Hotel not hotel describe the room as:

Wouldn’t it be ideal if you could simply print everything you want? Of course there’s a massive trend in 3D printing, where revolutionary developments are bringing us closer and closer to this scenario. Sometimes though, progress lies not in technological development, but rather in approaching things from a completely different angle. Why print in three dimensions when you can also reduce reality to two? This whole room is a conceptual translation of that fine line between reality, and the aspects of modern, often digital life. The TV, the chair, even the façade: everything is scanned, printed and presented to you in 2D.

Naturally, things as the bed, fresh sheets and towels, the safe, and your breakfast will be provided in a more practical 3D format.

The hotel has so many cute and fun rooms to select from!

They also have rooms hidden behind bookshelves, too! And it's just around the corner from my airBnb which I can't wait to show you too!

But how could one resist a mini pink and blue house?!

See you soon Vilnius and Amsterdam! Bring on the Krupnikas!

Love Love
Hello Sandwich

P.S. Guys! Check this out!

Kate Spade at NYFW

Just the other day I got invited to the Kate Spade show at New York Fashion Week! Whaaaaaaat?

I wish I was in NY to be able to go, but it baffles me that they would even invite me!

I really thought my cool invitation days were gone the moment I stepped out of the Vogue offices.

I DIE!

(And please ignore my totes dodge retouching of the RSVP details ha ha)

UPDATE - because I couldn't make it to this show they've invited me to an event in November and to the fashion show in February! I DIE!!!

Sandwich in S I N G A P O R E !!!

SANDWICHES!!! OMG! The Little Drom Store are flying my assistant and I over to Singapore in October to host workshops, have a little pop up shop, and meet all of you lovely little Singapore Sandwiches and I CAN NOT WAIT! It's the first business trip my assistant and I have been on together and we are pretty excited.

When I sent out all of my Hello Sandwich Tokyo Guide zines, most went to Melbourne, and then the second biggest selling country was Singapore! You guysssssssss T H A N K Y O U ! So this makes me even more excited to come and meet you all.

So, back to the workshops! 50% of the workshops sold out overnight which I couldn't believe! And although the HELLO SCRAPBOOK workshop has completely sold out, there are still a few spots left in both of the HELLO PARTY workshops. These workshops are, ahem, ways to make your party more instagrammable ha ha, and we will make party garlands, photo backdrops and customise straws and paper cups to get you all set for your next celebration. Click over here to book your spot.

On my 'Hello Tokyo' book shoot my photographer Boco-chan would sneak in extra cute shots like this one while I was off prepping the next shot! Love this lady to bits. Also love this 'fancy straw box'.  I'm going to pack this in my suitcase and take it to Singapore. If customs open my bag they are going to think I'm nuts.

Mama-sando always thinks I'm nuts when I go back to Sydney and my suitcase is filled with 80% craft stuff and 20% clothes. WAIT - no 78% craft stuff, 20% clothes, and 2% presents for Mama-sando's little Schnoodle, Schnaupi.

Seriously, do you die? These two!

Mami-chan took this super cute photo of my book! She is the styling master and she will also launch her new online shop tonight at 21:00 Tokyo time, so head on over to her website.

The Little Drom Store were smart and bought a stack of the Hello Sandwich Tokyo Guide zines off me before they sold out so we will be selling them at the event, and also my new book 'Hello Tokyo'!

(Thank you all for your emails and interest in a re-print of the Tokyo Guide, or a PDF version, but unfortunately I won't be doing either. So sorry if you missed out. You can still get some at a few stockists mentioned in the post below, and also at my booth at the Tokyo Art Book Fair on Monday 21st September)
