Eating & Drinking in Christchurch

We went to Christchurch last weekend and it was really fun! We stayed at So Hotel, I’m gutted we didn’t get any photos of it but our awesome room was so tiny the moment we walked in there we’d messed it up. We spent the first day op shopping and after the first three places [...]

Inspiration: Sarah Sophie Flicker

I’ve just come back from hoop class where our instructor finally did a performance for us (in a tiny sparkly red onesie with a big red bow on her butt). It was awesome & I’m on a mad showgirl kick.

New old gifts from old friends

When we graduated highschool in 2001 my oldest friend Natalie had the prestigious honour of being voted the most likely to get married. She came to visit me while I was in Auckland and declaring she had failed, handed the lovely sash on to me! “The saddest part is that I still had it”, she [...]

This is what life should be #2

Above is my favourite picture ever by Tim Walker.

But I love this too. The costumes are both by Shona Heath, one of the talented set designers who helps Tim create his magical worlds. When I’m rich I’ll hire her to make all my costumes for parties.

Five Things To Love #2

This scallopy goodness comes from Topshop. Lilac is a knockoff of the lovely Christopher Kane I lusted over here and is sold out of course.
2. 

Hot white tux from the Band of Outsiders blog that I forgot to post yesterday.
 
3. This Vogue editoral with suspiciously Lula-esque font.

 
4. Ladies with cute tattoos.

Hey boy

Since Jason and I have gotten engaged I’ve been thinking more about suits than dresses. Perhaps it’s because I’m an utter cliche and have been thinking about my wedding dress all my life so I already know what it’ll be? FEMINIST FAIL. Whatever it is I’ve been trawling the net for hot suits and I’m [...]

I’m hungry

I’m on holiday in Auckland at the moment.  Here is what I’ve been doing: staying at my Mama’s house, snuggling with my kitty Ella Gingerbread, eating too much saag paneer/palak paneer (SO good. I think I will soon turn into saag paneer. I can’t bring myself to order anything else when I eat indian), dressing [...]

Hoopin’ duds

I’m obsessed with rompers & playsuits (what’s the difference?) as outfits for hooping in, with black tights too of course. Retro & cutesy, they also have an element of spectacle and showmanship to them. I’m still scared of the awkward crotch situations they can create, but it’s gotta be better than tights on their own [...]
