DENIM NOSTALGIA






Theres something about this old Levis jacket which intrigues me deeply. This piece of denim was found in an op-shop in Paris, a shop which had the typical op-shop smell, small, no changing rooms, sequins, leather, denim, lace lined the racks. This jacket is actually mens probably explains why it's so big but also so comfortable. I think what intrigues me most about this jacket is the story of the person who wore it before me, were they French, how old were they, what year did they buy it, did they have their first kiss in it, first cigarette? Were they wearing this at a concert, in a cafe, cuddled up to a girlfriend or boyfriend, was it something they borrowed and never gave back? I've already made memories in this jacket and I want to pass it on to another so they can create memories in it. Maybe i'm just being nostalgic, but this worn piece of denim is something I love dearly,

EARLY SUNDAY MORNINGS




Early weekend mornings in Auckland City with the fresh, crisp air waking you up , the light breeze blowing your hair,  sunshine warming your skin, shops opening, people waking up. It's possibly one of my favorite places to be at 9.00 am. In life I think that happiness can be created from big things, but I think it's the little things which create true happiness, it is important to go through life always searching for and appreciating the little things. Like polite waiters, sunny days, getting more ice cream than you hoped for, good days with good people, getting flowers, hugs, smiles from strangers. So wake up a little bit early, explore a part of your home place you haven't explored, go to a new cafe, try a new meal, go out with a different person and appreciate all those little things. 

What I Wore

AUT ROOKIE FASHION SHOW 2K14


















With Colin Mathura-Jeffree

With the lovely Jarrad Godman - keep an eye out for this ones
designs 

Feeling the music beating, the cameras clicking, audience clapping, designers, bloggers, photographers, socialites, students all coming together for the viewing of these exquisite collections by the students of AUT. Smells of perfumes and colognes mix, individual styles showing a fashion show is a night people dress as themselves, a place where wearing what you want and forgetting the rules is highly encouraged. A place a girl of 5.11 can wear heels without feeling insecure. Mingling, chatting, photographing, watching, observing were the tasks I enjoyed last night. Including meeting Colin Mathura-Jeffree - a man I have loved since watching New Zealands Next Top Model. Blessed to be given the opportunities I have. 

What I Wore
:
Dress: Villa
Jacket: Levis (vintage from France) 
Bag: Oroton 
Shoes: Wildpair 
Lipstick: Revlon
