ABOUT

Hopefully you’ll find things here that inspire and make you wiggle in your seat with joy. The name comes from a love of semiotics and geeking out… everything is code for something!
AND BEHIND IT ALL…
Is me, Amber! Hello! I’m a 23 24 year old writer based in Auckland, New Zealand. I love Japan, storms, wearing vintage dresses, baking berry muffins, dancing till I can’t walk, digging through crates of records and dreaming of abandoned theme parks. Phew. Do you like these sorts of things too? Let’s have tea! ❤
Of course, I’m into lots of other stuff; such as bringing you fresh content every day that you’ll adore. Snippets to forward, aural earworms, places to go, things to bring up at dinner parties that’ll make us both seem fascinating; oh and sometimes even the food to make at those dinner parties.

Hi Amber,
I’m moving to NZ for a year starting the 6th of June, so i’ve been googling my interests looking for indication that i won’t be losing too much of what i am (not that THAT would be too bad of an event). I googled vintage shopping, auckland and the web presented me your blog, which i’ve been reading for an hour now.
Thank you for soothing my pre-departure jitters.
Inasmuch as i am looking forward to this trip, i needed reassurance that i’ll be able to find the cornerstones to my interests there as well. Let’s just say this is a journey i hadn’t planned till meeting my now-boyfriend, the dear Flowerchild himself.
Again, thank you and keep writing!
Francesca
