    no sushi? :(
    that's a travesty.. although that said where I am at the moment there isn't any either. luckily I have to be in Sydney for work a couple of days a week, so I don't mind travelling for a little indulgence ;)

    Sometimes it's hard to walk in a single woman's shoes - that's why we need really special ones!

    Just made the name up ;)
    Was thinking of Serene, but wanted it to have a bit more edge to it.

    So I guess seeing as I made up the word, I can make up the meaning.... so:

    Serente (Se-Ren-Tay)
    Verb
    A way of living whereby the precious and beautiful is valued and prized posessions are cherished.

    Noun
    Fabulous Fashion Label launched in the Southern Hemisphere Spring/Summer 2010 season :D
