I listed my top ten Kiwi online stores in the fashion/lifestyle/design sphere for Orcon’s Digital Life. Read the list here. Perfect for all ye lazy shoppers.

30 Bucks A Week – vegetarian recipes and food shopping for 2 – with a budget of thirty dollars every seven days. I’m trying to cook more, for less and this blog is brilliant

A particularly candid interview with Chrissie Miller of New York clothing label Sophomore.

20 ways to makeover your wardrobe (with a NZ designer focus). As Garth says on Wayne’s World – “Live in the now” and keep up with the seasons.

Out Of Print – your favourite book covers reproduced on tees. Love it – good for both ladies and fellas!

Karen Walker at New York Fashion Week – complete with a mini interview with Karen herself. I loved the hair, red lips, thigh highs and blouses. The collection’s called Salzburg USA. [Also, the Karen Walker website has just had a fantastic makeover and features new sections like an inspiration scrapbook. Check it.]

My favourite Sart post in months – Graphic Chic. Reminds me of Mociun, the beautiful capes of Oops Fashion and the cloaks of Lindsey Thornburg I’ve been coveting.

“I was always sorry when I closed BackTrack Records in Trenton, NJ back in 1992. At that time, I went online with a computer messaging system called Wildcat. I had all the records from the store online for people to download and buy. From a 2400 baud modem. It was called This Notes for You BBS and I was one of the first people to ever sell records online in this form…” Read the rest of this comment from a record store owner on the PSFK post What Happens When Record Stores Die? He talks about the full circle of the internet – now we’re back to seeing and speaking to each other.

If any of you are are in NYC you must go see Mr. Brainwash’s first solo show in the city. It’s called Icons and is at 415 W. 13th Street, Ground Floor. Dude is a genius and I really regret not buying one of his prints last year when I had the chance!
