While I’m a stripes girl through and through, when I look in my wardrobe I realised that I’ve got a bit of a secret love for polka dots. Those spots have snuck in to my life – on my makeup bag, on my onesie, and on my clothes, and I have to say that I’m a fan! It started out with small spots, but now I’m going for big, bold contrasting spots. View Post
When I got up this morning, it was 1ºC. That’s not really a temperature that I operate well at (who does, really?), and it made me acutely aware that I don’t own any sweaters. After my closet sale and donating a whole lot of clothes, shoes and beauty products to women who needed them more than I do … I’m going to have to do a bit of shopping to find something warm and snuggly.

I get a lot of emails and comments from curvy girls wanting to know where to get hot sassy lingerie (I’m talking hot for the bedroom, not everyday lingerie), and until now I’ve been able to suggest a few places but never actually tried anything out for myself. Until now…
My favourite place to be is always near the ocean. Whether I’m at home in Auckland, in my hometown of Gisborne, or travelling about something always brings me back to water. It’s really no surprise that my favourite places in Auckland happen to be near the water. I took advantage of a spot of sunshine in what was a very cold windy weekend to head down and look at my city from across the harbour – and of course I had to go for a bit of a nautical theme with my outfit.

I’m pretty picky when it comes to flowers – I know what I like (peonies, hydrangeas, vintage roses and amaryllis, for the record) and what I don’t (carnations, most chrysanthemums and most lilies). The same goes for florals in fashion – I’m either all in or all out and I think I might have … maybe four? floral pieces in my wardrobe (two of them are made from the same fabric). One of those select few pieces is this kimono from Kiwi designers DMONIC INTENT.
