White Magick

White Magick

image sourceWhite Magick. Since I first stumbled upon lover some 9 years ago, it’s been a label that I have highly coveted, in particular the beautiful lace pieces. Lover’s White Magick capsule collection ressurects a number of lace dresses from previous collections, some of which have had a little bit of a makeover. Having owned a couple of these dresses pictured above, I can attest to their beauty, and have rekindled my desire for a couple I never managed to get my hands on. It’s a shame this collection is exclusive to their Strand Arcade store, otherwise I could envision…

F21 jumper, Karen Walker blazer, skirt and coat, Topshop heels, YSL arty ring, Mimco necklace, Marc by Marc Jacobs bag Last night I was invited to attend the opening night of the Papershoes Pop-Up store in Wellington, at the Service Depot. Papershoes is an online store, which offers shoes from designers such as: Dieppa Restrepo, Bass, Loeffler Randel and Opening Ceremony to name a few, and the pop-up store was the perfect opportunity to get to see some of these shoes in person, as they are designers which are usually not so readily available in New Zealand. While I didn’t…

Baobab

Baobab

3.1 by Phillip Lim dress, Acne cardigan, ASOS jacket, Vintage boots (similar here), Proenza Schouler bag, Karen Walker sunglasses Over the weekend I met up with Nina to do a little bit of vintage shopping in Newtown, as part of her buy only second-hand or vintage clothing for the month of May. Unfortunately our trip yielded neither of us any gems, although I did manage to find a cat jigsaw that kept me occupied for some time on Sunday night. Our expedition was followed by a spiced apple tea and treats at Baobab – hands down becoming my local in…
