The type A in me needs to have things organised well before their due, so it’s little surprise that half my wardrobe is already neatly folded and packed away in my suitcase. While I’m pretty sure I jumped the gun too quickly on packing away all manner of winter knits…

Lab

J Crew sweater, Lululemon Lab skirt, Topshop heels, Mimco necklace, Proenza Schouler PS11 With the wind and the rain constantly lingering over Wellington, I couldn’t be more thrilled that my move to warmer shores is less than seven days away. One thing I will undeniably miss, will be the those spontaneous walks with almost constant seaside views, which even under the haze of rain soaked skies, has a raw unfinished beauty unlike anything else I’ve known. Softening the blow of this less than stellar weather, was the arrival of a few pieces from Lululemon’s Lab collection. An extension of Lululemon,…

Paper Moon

img source I’ve been heavily anticipating the release of Heinui’s Spring/Summer 2014 collection, entitled Paper Moon, after stumbling across images a few months back.

twenty-six

ASOS crop top, Vivian Chan rosie skort, Topshop court shoes, Celine trio Twenty-six, or as my sister puts it, old; the wrong side of my twenties, even. But the way I see it, it’s another day, and another year older, quietly slipping by like every other. Keeping it relatively low-key with a late lunch at Olive, afternoon tea and cake at my grandparents, and soaking up the final remnants of sunshine in the early evening at Scorching Bay beach; simplicity at its best. I couldn’t help but wear this flamboyant cotton candy skirt from Vivian Chan, because what better excuse…
