The Princess and the Sausage
- The Wellingtonista
- Most "pop-up shops" emerge in vacant retail spaces, but The Princess' Bedroom was different: the shop itself popped up, in the form of a brightly-painted caravan in a gravelly old Ghuznee St carpark.

I'd like to lodge a compliment, please
- The Wellingtonista
- I spent two weeks living on the 28th floor of a hotel in Tokyo when I was ten, and ever since then, I have been obsessed with hotels. As you probably know, here at the Wellingtonista, we're also very fond of free food and drink, so when the Travelodge invited us to for Cocktails & Canapes, of course we responded enthusiastically.
