The last time I did a display investigation was in October , so it’s about time for a Decemberist shop window survey of Ponsonby Road, AKL. Things are a bit low key here but there’s still some cuteness to be seen!
From top to bottom: Mason’s Men’s Store, Mei Mei, Widdess (with the cute lil knitted [...]
Are you or a loved one infected with a dreamy wanderlust? Are you a known Francophile? Do you swoon at the thought of puffed macarons? Then perhaps this gift combination would tickle your fancy…
The Paris Wallpaper City Guide will go down a treat when you are plotting an excursion to the fair city - [...]
Where are the lyrics to this sound to be found? I have seen various declarations such as “it’s about pancakes” (or hot dogs?), “the song is about 3 young ladies who fall into Marcel Duchamp by accident and decide to change their lives as a result” and mentions of hippos. Huh? Who knows!
At least your [...]
Berlin based electronic duo Booka Shade are coming to AKL on the 21st of November 2008. Squee! Their myspace says ‘Get Booka Shade’ and yeah, we got ‘em!
Oft’ described as “the best live electronic act in the world today” you will most probably be familiar with their songs ‘Body Language’ and ‘In White Rooms’. I [...]
The Parnell French Market is amazing. A perfect way to spend an early Sunday morning. The almond croissants baked there are unbelievable. Layers of sticky flaky pastry, filled with almond whip, rolled into a crescent and scattered with fine icing sugar. I swear, there is nothing better than that first drop of hot almond cream [...]
Sadly, I will never have the opportunity to personally enjoy the made to measure services of Crane Brothers. However, watch out if you plan on marrying me because that’s where I will bundle you off! They’re an Auckland based men’s outfitters. They have a true handmade ethos, supported by their skilled in house tailors.
I love [...]
I’ve spent many a happy hour stomping up and down city streets (everywhere) looking for vintage stock for Catch & Covet, but also just for the sheer love of adding to my wardrobe. You could say that when it comes to vintage, I’m as seasoned as a 1972 Christian Dior belt!
There aren’t many vintage stores [...]
I have been intending to conduct an investigation of local shop windows for quite a while… I took this photo this morning so I guess I’m starting now! This is the current Louis Vuitton window display in AKL:
I love it. Every so often they change out the bag/gloves/sunglasses. It’s a glowing golden yellow yolk on [...]
If you’re in Auckland, this exhibition looks like a great way to spend a lunchtime in town. Skateboarding and photography? Never were there two more perfectly suited persuits.
See Bionic Pixie & a few other darling musos play at the Kings Arms. I love the flier, the use of watercolour is so delicate.
Need to check them out before you go/or too far away to attend but keen for new music? Listen to Sharpie Crows, Pig Out and Mr. Hayday here!
