What do you get when a photographer and a clothing designer shack up in Brooklyn? I don't know but what i do know is this puppy called Spider is breaking my heart. Another sweet find from The Selby. ...

I have been watching a lot of Sex & the City lately. You see I’m preparing myself for the imminent release of the 2nd film. So I wanted to revisit their hijinks, refamiliarize myself with the favourite foursome and I’ll be honest…I think it’s making me a little crazy. As in, I am becoming a crazy woman; shaping myself in their mould of neurosis’. I unwittingly...
Is it strange for a woman to buy herself a ring? We buy ourselves lunch, shoes, tickets to the movies...so why then not jewellery? I was thinking of buying the ring (pictured below) as a present for myself. Sort of a "well-done-you-for-completing-this-chapter-in-your-life" ring. Is that weird? A friends response to such an idea was "Are you sure you want to buy it for...
Rob Ryan has stabbed himself in the leg, stomach and has even taken a scalpel to the nose. Now that's what i call suffering for your art. The English artist has a Masters in Printmaking where he honed his craft at the Royal College of Art in London. His extremely intricate, detailed work is awe inspiring. Never has cutting patterns into a single...
i'm sifting through possible bridesmaid hairdo's for my dear friend's nuptials this July. The beautiful bride-to-be attended 2 seperate hair trials which both culminated in disaster. It seemed that none of the hairdressers she was seeing had listened to what she actually wanted; something soft, romantic, not too structured. So i sent her a link to a video that Jamie from "From Me...
The producers of "Paris, je t'aime" have released another homage to another city of romance and dreams; New York. A film comprising of New York vignettes, glimpses into the verismo of the big apple; some are a testament to the romance and hope the city creates and others miss the mark a little. However...Drea de Matteo and Bradley Cooper... I do indeed love...
Whilst in Singapore the STB arranged for us to have a photo shoot with hair and makeup provided by the charming people at The Beauty Box Studio. We were asked what kind of look we were after and i was somehow drawn to the idea of a quiff and hot pink lips. I thought the femininity of the Ben Wu outfit would balance...
i’m sifting through some existential blogging thoughts: what constitutes a good blog? Why do we blog? Is it self-expression or self-indulgent? How do readers find certain blogs and why does it appeal to them? I was an avid reader before I started blogging myself and I can’t even remember how I found half of those sites. Random surfing? Recommendations? If a blog falls...
Say Kia Ora to MADE. An awesome find on Customs St, Auckland. They stock such fun, pretty things. Karen Walker, Stolen Girlfriends Club, Melissa Shoes...see what fun? I fell in love with this necklace made by a local designer: Bones by Moniquin. And i couldn't resist these Docs. FLORAL DOCS. Aren't they purty? ...
I still haven’t blogged a proper, detailed entry about my spectacular trip to Singapore (all thanks to the wonderful Singapore Tourism Board)! The moment I boarded that Singapore Airlines flight departing the country I have been busy busy busy. I found myself in Sydney, then Melbourne and now Auckland. I slowed the pace today and actually had some down time. But I promise you...
O Alexander Wang knitwear! You beguile me. You delight me. You evade me with your price tag but win me over with your style. Sadly...you shan't be mine. ...
I was expecting bone chilling winds, sleet and winter weather for May in Auckland. But actually, it been quite pleasant. The odd shower or two but it’s generally nice and cool. That’s not to say that it won’t turn. And I have the coat for such an occasion.Meet my heavy, duty winter coat. (how d’you do? charmed I’m sure). I bought it in...

Day two in Auckland and my body is a battlefield. I’m still nursing a head cold and am also dealing with a swollen, bruised toe (which I so cleverly stubbed against the leg of a chair). It takes me a while to adjust to new spaces, cook in new kitchens and navigate the pathways of a hotel room/serviced apartment. Walking straight into the...
Hello all! I've woken up and found myself in a strange and different land. New Zealand. I'll be in Auckland for the next 3 weeks & am excited to reaquaint myself with all the wonderful local designers and shops. I've got an awful head cold from the ridiculous amounts of flying i've been doing lately and opening night is on Friday night. Busy...

On my last day in Singapore I was determined to pay a visit to a Hawker food centre. I'd done a little bit of research and read many a good thing about Tiong Bahru. Especially their Chee Kway and "Carrot Cake" (both pictured below). So on Sunday morning, after a decent sleep in and a midday checkout i hopped in a quick (and...
May i present the 'Court Shoe'. The spawn of a Rodarte x Nicholas Kirkwood collaboration. Metal, Leather and a hefty price tag make this a highly desirable, highly rare object. The heel comprises of bolts. i mean come on! make me want you more, court shoe. just try....impossible. ...
