All Black and Blue

Blue denim + black leather + white tee = perfect, classic, rebel chic

Images from Russh Nov 07 - "You Look Hot" 

Someone You Really Love

This is one of my all time fave "Beachy" editorials. Unsurprisingly it's from Russh (lol I am a tad predictable).
Gorgeous Shanay Hall. Love the metallic coloured lens sunnies. I so want to get pink highlights in my hair, and I couldn't care less that its impractical to wear Docs and fun fur to the beach! This is perfection.

I love candy orange nails for summer - girlie, retro, a little wierd. And with charm bracelets, bangles and pastel = little bit Sweet Valley High oui?

Russh July 08 - "Cool Rider"

Speaking of Lover... Heres the first promo shot for their next collection (Southern Hemisphere AW, Northern Hemisphere SS)....

I DIE! Can't wait. Seriously. Will be counting down the days until the lookbook comes online!!! 

Love Is All You Need

Reason #78 why Lover is just amazing.
Little round leather Lover badges in unexpected places? C'est bon! Too cute.
Merci Cobrasnake.

Walking Down The Street With My Nikes On..

Omfg these are TOO CUTE!! Liberty print Nike Dunks from Opening Ceremony (I discovered this pair thanks to Papermag). My friend Christy would go SPARE over these! I wonder if they will come to little old NZ? I am obsessed with Liberty. Sigh. Tres cute.

Wanting: Blanket Jacket

Sunny(hopefully)Saturday

I want the sun to come out. It keeps peaking and teasing!

Living The Dream: Hair Pampering

Spent the morning at the hairdresser, reading (attempting/studying/struggling) French Vogue.. My poor brain is exhausted. But the issue is beautiful.
I hate that the "newest" French Vogue here is September! Its stunning though.  Anna and Daria look v amazing. 
Ps: Also loved getting pampered. I def deserved it after working through Boxing Day Sales hell and getting abused by customers.

Let Your Heart Be Light

This is how I wore Christmas...
Festive outfits are a must! White skinny jeans and a burgundy velvet top for Christmas Eve drinks at the local pub, then my cream Karen Walker dress (present!!) for the day. And for Christmas dinner my cream Country Road dress with black stars. Red nails worn throughout of course!! Dressing up for Christmas so helps get you in the mood - I even wore my Clara-esque (The Nutcracker) nightie! 

Starry Night

The famous Christmas lights in Franklin Road, Ponsonby on Christmas Eve....
.. And I promptly fell asleep in the car once we had driven passed!

Three Sleeps... So Excite!!

This will be me post work on Christmas Eve! Im tres excited! Going to wrap more presents now - I can't stop buying them for my fam!! Such a good feeling though. x

Festive Wining And Dining

Went to Euro on the Viaduct last night! Had our annual family pre-Christmas dinner. It was tres fab! The interior was gorgeous - they have a chandelier made of antlers! And a massive mirror thats framed by glossy black feathers. The bar is all curved and smooth and wooden.

I had a cosmo as my pre dinner cocktail - they do v good ones (not overly sweet like some places, nor bitter like others). The food was really good also, I had:
- Calamari prosciutto wrap w garlic, date, lemon, extra virgin olive oil & arugula
- Line caught snapper studded w black Alba truffle, ice wine emulsion

And us girls shared an Alaskan Red King crab (Papa had his own) - it was AMAZING. And there's something I love about being dressed up at a flash resturaunt, ordering the most expensive dish on the menu, but having to basically eat it with your hands because of the nature of what it was!
