Wearing: Jumpers and Mini Skirts


Sometimes I find black really boring to wear. I know most people pull it off really well, in fact they do it on a daily basis, but I've always felt like black really doesn't do that much for me. However, I'm learning that black

Wanting: Ruby Summer Collection 2015

There's something always refreshing about Ruby's collections. There's generally a fun print (did you see the Celeste skirt from their Tonight Tonight NZFW show?), a few good basics and something unexpected.

Wearing: Lundi et Vendredi

I absolutely love spring, because it's a reminder that warmth is on the way, and winter is finally coming to its icy end. However, dressing in spring (and autumn for that matter) can be slightly tricky due to the unpredictable weather. Take Christchurch this week for example, around 12 degrees, rainy, cold and pretty miserable. But last week, that's a whole other story, we had a 22 degree day where everyone was walking to uni in t-shirts because the sun was bloody shining up a storm.

I didn’t have time to experiment with new recipes or meet up with customers, and I was emailing people back at 1am which I’m sure was really appreciated (laughs). It wasn’t a huge decision for me to make, going full time. I had nothing to lose, and the idea of being free to do my own thing outweighed any

Wearing: An aesthetic of colour


Apart from a minor black period in the history of my wardrobe, I wear colour. Very often. There's just something special about how a vibrant shade, in this case fuchsia, can lift your mood, make you stand out from the crowd and be pleasing to the eye.

Wearing: Looking the part at the Farmer's Market


On Saturday I visited my favourite Christchurch Farmer's Market, and I thought I'd look the part by wearing a classic farmer's check shirt.
