DRESS CODE: ON THE FARM

Today I went out to a wee farmlet, to celebrate a family birthday. It was about 25 minutes drive from the city. In between socialising, I wandered around, saying hello to the various ducks, pukekos, friendly cats, cows, chickens & bunnies. I took a few photos (it was quite windy) and then dashed inside for [...]

DRESS CODE: LATE SPRING 21-11-08

Late spring. Standing in the dappled light of my front porch. Or, of my verandah as we say around here. The differences in language use between various English-speaking nations really become apparent when you start putting things out on the Internet for consumption, as opposed to just observing.
It’s a wonderful thing though, especially as a [...]

DRESS CODE: A NOVEMBER MORNING

- T-Shirt printed with Holga photograph of Japanese bicycles
- Chunky wooden bracelet

Scarf: Equip, very cheap, very versatile!
Working, working… so [...]

In celebration I’m flinging off my grey felted coat, neatly stacking my muddy boots to one side and breathing a little colour into my design agency uniform. Today it’s a [...]

My daily outfit: I love my Huffer skeleton gloves and they definitely get a lot of comments when I’m out and about! This outfit is an odd combination of a few of my favourite pieces. The dress is by Skylark and was originally bought to wear to my 21st birthday [...]

DRESS CODE: 7/7/2008

My daily outfit: I feel so co-ordinated today! I’m wearing my new Crystal Castles T-shirt, bought from their myspace. Check out their self titled album, it’s fun to thrash to. Accompanying the shirt is some faux pearls (chosen for the correlating shapes) & a snug black cardigan. It’s [...]
