shopping the sales

img source one | two | three Never one to miss a bargain, I’ve been taking advantage of the huge savings in the Flash Frenzy on NZ Sale this weekend. In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, NZSale/OzSale have teamed up with the National Breast Cancer Foundation to raise money for breast cancer research in a ‘frenzy’ of sales. Every fifteen minutes, a new sale starts, which makes it pretty tempting to keep going back to the site to check out the bargains.

those sunny days..

Alexander Wang singlet, T by Alexander Wang cardigan, Isabel Marant tundra skirt, Porselli ballet flats, Cuyana tote bag (similar), Karen Walker sunglasses It seems like a bit of a misnomer, wearing all black on a picture perfect sunny day.

Perhaps I’ve been watching just a little bit…

Hello Lover….

Zara breton stripe top (similar), Lover lace skirt (dress or similar), Alexander Wang heels, Proenza Schouler PS11 bag, Gorjana bracelet Is there ever such a thing as too much simplicity? With such an intricate woven lace, made complete with 3D flowers which while unassuming are anything but, there seems little need to complicate it with additional bells and whistles. A slim breton stripe, a crisp white shirt with rolled up sleeves, or a fine knit jersey are my accompaniments of choice. I’ve been a lover of Lover ever since I can remember stumbling across their clothing, tucked away in what…

What I’m wearing for Spring

img source: one | two | three | six | seven | eight | eleven | fifteen | sixteen For Spring, I’ve found myself wearing the same things on a semi-rotational basis. The transitional/in-between seasons are always my favourite. I love the opportunity to layer up slightly on top while baring my legs, the best of both worlds, in a sense. While I tend to gravitate towards the same styles all year round, my five favourites for Spring are: All white. I was fond of white on white for Winter, and Spring seems to be singing the same tune. Starchy…
