I love getting outfit inspiration from other people’s outfit choices – it’s what makes people watching, blog reading and Pinterest pinning so great. I’m a bit of a newbie when it comes to Pinterest (come and follow me here), but my blogging friend Jo from iCurvy has made a cool challenge to get us all inspired. View Post
I wasn’t even looking for a coat. I nipped in to Autograph in Sylvia Park to have a quick look for a jumper while we were waiting to go and see Minions, and I spied it on the rack as I entered the store. I tried it on in slate blue and fell in lust with it’s warm cosy embrace. But slate blue isn’t practical with my wardrobe, and neither is hot pink, and the charcoal grey wasn’t there in my size. So I put the coat back and walked over to look at sweaters. But then I found myself back at the rack with the coats. View Post
Last night, the boything and I went out on a date night to celebrate the end of Junk Free June. The Garden Shed is a new-ish bistro that’s not far from where I live, and I had a lunch meeting there recently and thought the food was delicious so I wanted to share it with my love (and check out their dinner menu).

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.

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.
