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 [...]

Spring has sprung, or rather, erupted in blossoms. I can now safely venture outside in the mornings without a sweater, which is very, very heartening.
- T-Shirt printed with Holga photograph of Japanese bicycles
- Chunky wooden bracelet
- Navy bangle + ivory look bangle
- Black jeans
- Pink chucks
I think this outfit could be improved if the shirt [...]
I’m moving house tomorrow… so the next few days might be very quiet as we figure out where all the little cables went and hmmm just what happened to my favourite shirt? Actually, this is one of my favourite shirts - a basic flannel men’s shirt from The Warehouse, which is New Zealand’s mega-discount chain. [...]
As promised in the CFS Guide to Looking Good on a Bike, my own bike style. A Sunday afternoon called for blowing out the cobwebs and simply riding around the car-park across the road from my house. Not too adventurous but it was rather blustery - making it challenging to see past my flapping hair!
T-shirt: [...]

Belt: Stolen from my father (along with my socks)!
Safari boots: Vintage… these don’t seem to leave my feet.
Scarf: Equip, very cheap, very versatile!
Working, working… so [...]

It’s nearly spring in the Southern Hemisphere, one more day or so! And for once, it actually feels like the season it’s meant to be. 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 [...]
Apologies for the lack of updates over the last few days - I’ve been sick and there’s been a storm blowing! However the weather hasn’t stopped me shopping - last week I managed to pick up the most glorious 50mm lens for my camera and aptly, a rain jacket.
I picked up this gorgeous Source Jacket [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
