I was looking through my email accounts hunting for old essays and assignments from my university days and chanced upon a few photos of my graduation. Here i am (looking super young) with my ku and papa. I remember this day really vividly, and how incredibly proud of me they both were. They travelled from Te Aroha to be with me, which meant a lot as at the time my parents were in Niue and couldnt make it back to see me graduate. I remember it being boiling hot in wellington and i was dying under my giant woolen gown, and everyone was making comments on my somewhat unconventional grad gear choice - a red and white polka dot halter dress and red and white irregular choice shoes with spury goodness. I still own both, i wore the shoes yesterday… much love and happiness.

I smoke so many cigarettes, there’s no way I could have a glossy lipstick.

Things i love and need and want and stuff: clogs

That’s right, i need some clogs… i wrote a piece about it for nzgirl (got some feisty feedback too haha) I know these babys arent going to be on the top of EVERYONES to buy list, but they are pretty high on mine. The above styles are from we’ar and they are currently taking pre orders for them. But there are some sassy ones at other places. Click here to read more…

we'ar boots on nzgirl.co.nz

I snapped up some new nude ankle boots a few weeks ago, they have barely come off my feet since purchasing them. So i wrote a little about them for nzgirl.co.nz You should read about it here or buy them here.

Backseam Baby

My daily wardrobe nearly always consists of a pair of these babies, back seam stockings! A deliciously vintage updater to an otherwise staid outfit, or you know.. overtly sexual finish to any little black dress. These options come care of my current fav back seam hosiery brand. All three are on their way to me as we speak.. wonderful!
